Orestes (Alternate version) Lyrics
Picture a parish in a playground
Innocent faces in a circle
Tiny hands hold round the edges
A fret for every gentle moment
My heart high above their heads
On a billowing diaphram of memories
And i struggle to catch a glimpse of you
But i'm bound by webs of habit
Gotta cut away, clear away snip away and sever this umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
And from pulling you down with me
In here I can almost hear you scream
One more medicated peaceful moment (give me)
One more medicated peaceful moment
And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility
No, I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility
Gotta cut away clear away
Snip away and sever this umbilical residue
Gotta cut away clear away
Snip away and sever this umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
Snip away and sever this
Keeping me from killing you...
Innocent faces in a circle
Tiny hands hold round the edges
A fret for every gentle moment
My heart high above their heads
On a billowing diaphram of memories
And i struggle to catch a glimpse of you
But i'm bound by webs of habit
Keeping me from killing you
And from pulling you down with me
In here I can almost hear you scream
One more medicated peaceful moment (give me)
One more medicated peaceful moment
And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility
No, I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility
Snip away and sever this umbilical residue
Gotta cut away clear away
Snip away and sever this umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
Snip away and sever this
Keeping me from killing you...

AN EPIC recreation of an already epic, mesmerising musical masterpiece. i've left an interpretation on the original album version, but i'm not going to try to interpret this one. it's completely different, and the verse sounds so...abstract. i wouldn't know where to begin. amazing
The first verse is the part of the lyrics that is different from the original lyrics: Picture a parachute on a playground Innocent faces in a circle Tiny handfuls 'round the edges A fret for every gentle moment And it is My heart high above their heads On this Billowing diaphragm of memories And I Struggle to catch a glimpse of you But I'm Bound by webs of habit

If anyones really interested i have 2 live shows from APCs Mer De Noms tour. One has these lyrics for Orestes the other doesnt. Anyway when i first heard this variation i loved Maynard more than before which was hard to belive. Such an amazing lyricist!
