Bells Lyrics

I am sad and grateful
I am lonely and rejoicing
I ring the bells alone, I ring the bells for you
Forgive me the impermanence of my joy
And the permanence of my joy
I am present in my truth
Though you were right, I lost myself
I abide in my discomfort
And in everything you gave me
I can try to hide from suffering
But I know that won't save me
I must count it all as joy
I must let love be love in me

I can be strong, I can be kind
I can be good to myself and anyone who lets me
Now I am simple, I am alone
Like a pale flower floating on the surface
Of the wide sea the world drives between all of our hearts
The one you must navigate in order to love
In trying to swim there but refusing to let go
We weighed each other down and eventually we drowned

We can speak the words of women and angels
But without real love, it's just sad noise
I can open my heart and let everything out
But that won't save me - I'll just be empty

I am raw and awed and frightened
In the presence of my truth
I am sitting with my fear
I am reverent in its light
I am starting where I am
I move forward on my own
And I ring the bells alone
But with only you in mind

Perfect Pussy are an American rock band, formed in 2012 in Syracuse, New York, USA. The band consists of vocalist Meredith Graves, guitarist Ray McAndrew, keyboardist Shaun Sutkus, bass guitarist Greg Ambler and drummer Garrett Koloski. The band is known for its "frenetic brand of punk and raucous live shows" and has been described as "the most important punk band to come out of Syracuse since Earth Crisis."

Prior to the formation of the band, the lead singer Meredith Graves led a band called Mouse and the Love & Light Orkestra, and more recently was a member of the Syracuse-based noise rock trio Shoppers. After Shoppers broke up, she was approached by the film director Scott Coffey in 2012, who asked her to perform with a band for his movie, Adult World. She assembled a "fake band" and wrote the song for the film. In the aftermath of the filming, they kept performing together.

The band gained attention with its debut demo EP, I Have Lost All Desire for Feeling, which was released independently in 2013. They performed in CMJ music festival in 2013 and in SXSW in 2014, after signing to the Brooklyn-based Captured Tracks record label. The band's debut album, Say Yes to Love, was released in March 2014.
