Ini lagu yg cukup unik, dibuat oleh sebuah band project yg diberi nama Tapeworm. Tidak pernah dirilis resmi, kemudian dinyanyikan oleh pecahan Tapeworm yaitu A Perfect Circle. Aq hanya punya versi bootleg dr lagu ini, yg diberi judul Perfect Enemy. Tidak terlalu jelas instrumennya , tp cukup bisa utk dinikmati. Ini adalah liriknya :
Dead as dead can be
From what the doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him
prefer the optimistic one
I'm sure of your ability
to become my perfect enemy
Wake up to face me
rise up and show me
someday I'll say you're vacant
and maybe you're better off this way
Leaning over you here
cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
... My perfect enemy
Wake up (again to / why can't you) face me
rise up and show me
Someday I'll say you're vacant
and maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
People better off this way
You're better off this way
you're better off this
you're better off this
Maybe you're better off
Wake up (again to / why can't you) face me, come on and
Rise up, (why can't you / I tell you,) show me (show me)
Some day I'll say you're vacant
and maybe you're better off this way
Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear me
3x Why can't you turn and face me
You fucking disappoint me
Dr pengamatan awal, lagu ini lirik lagu ini diinspirasi oleh ibu Maynard James Kennan, yg sedang sakit keras selama hampir 30 tahun, dan akhirnya meninggal. Namun ada unsur kemarahan yg dalam jg. Mgkn Kennan meluapkan rasa sedihnya lewat lagu ini dgn cara berteriak-teriak.
