"It took so long to remember just what happened.
I was so young and vestal then,
you know it hurt me,
but I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive
even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
I've got my hands bound,
my head down , my eyes closed,
and my throat wide open.

Do unto others what has been done to me (2 times)

I'm treading water,
I need to sleep a while.
My lamb and martyre, you look so precious.
Won't you come a bit closer,
close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this,
I can't stand to burn too long.
Released in this sodomy.
For one sweet moment I am whole.

Do unto you now what has been done to me.

You're breathing so I guess you're still alive
even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
Won't you come just a bit closer,
close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this.
I need this to make me whole.
There's release in this sodomy.
For I am your witness that
blood and flesh can be trusted.
And only this one holy medium brings me piece of mind.

Got your hands bound, your head down,
your eyes closed.
You look so precious now.

I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this
shit blood and cum on my hands.

I've come round full circle.
My lamb and martyr, this will be over soon.
You look so precious.

tool - the grudge

Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity.
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate.
Desperate to control all and everything.
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.

Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end.
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Terrified of being wrong. Ultimatum prison cell.

Saturn ascends, choose one or ten. Hang on or be humbled again.

Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end.
Saturn ascends, comes round again.
Saturn ascends, the one, the ten. Ignorant to the damage done.

Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity.
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate.
Desperate to control all and everything.
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.

Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control.
Unable to forgive. And we're sinking deeper.

Defining, confining, controlling, and we're sinking deeper.

Saturn comes back around to show you everything
Let's you choose what you will not see and then
Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child, light and innocent.

Saturn comes back around. Lifts you up like a child or
Drags you down like a stone
To consume you till you choose to let this go.

Give away the stone.
Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor.
Give away the stone.
Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold.
Let go.

Here from a kings mountain view,
here from a wild dream come true,
Feast like a sultan, I do, on
treasures and flesh, never few,

But I would wish it all away if
I thought I'd lose you just one day.

The Devil and his had me down.
In love with the dark side I'd found.
Dabbling all the way down.
Up to my neck, soon to drown.
But you changed that all for me.
Lifted me up. Turned me round.

SO I would wish this all away...

Prayed like a martyr dusk to dawn.
Begged like a hooker all night long.
Tempted the devil with my song,
and got what I wanted all along.

But I would wish it all away...
No prize that could hold sway or
justify my giving away my center so,

If I could I'd wish it all away if
I thought tomorrow would take you away.
You, my piece of mind,
my all, my center, just trying to hold on one more day.
Damn my eyes if they should compromise the fulcrum.
(if) wants and needs divide me then I might as well be gone.

Shine on forever. Shine on, benevolent sun.
Shine down upon the broken . Shine until the two become one.
Shine on forever. Shine on, benevolent sun.
Shine down upon the severed . Shine until the two become one.
Divided, I'll wither away. Divided I'll wither away.
Shine down upon the many. Light our way, benevolent sun.

Breathe in union. Breathe in union. Breathe in union. Breathe in union.
Breathe in union so as one survive another day and season.
Silence, legion. Save your poison. Silence, legion.
Stay out of my way.

And burn the evidence down
Soapbox house of cards and glass
So don't go tossin' your stones all 'round

Difficult to dance ?round this one ?til you pull it out? boy

Gotta lemon juice up in your eye.

tool - 10000 days

Listen to the tales and romanticise
How we follow the path of the hero
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun
How we rised to the height of our halo

Listen to the tales as we all rationalise
Our way into the arms of the savior
Fading all the trials and the tribulations
None of us have actually been there
Not like you

Ignorant fibbers in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy
Spare me
None of them can even hold a candle up to you
Blinded by choices hippocrites won't seek

But nothing but the collective judas'
Who could deny you were the one who would have made it
You'll have a piece of the divine

This little light of mine
The gift you passed onto me
I'll let it shine
To guide you safely on your way
Your way home

What are they going to do when the lights go down
Without you to guide them home to zion
What are they going to do when the river is overrun
Other than tremble incessantly

High as a wave but i'll rise on up on the ground
You are a light, and a wave, that they will only read about
I only pray, heaven knows when to lift you out
Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough
You're going home

You're the only one who can hold your head up high
Shake your fist at the gates saying:

I have come home now
Fetch me the spirit
The son, and the father
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended
It's time now, my time now
Give me my, give me my, wings

Give me my
Give me my wings

You are a light, a wave
That they will only read about

Set as i am in my ways and my arrogance
Burnin all through [something] believers
You were my witness
My eyes, my evidence
Judith marie, unconditional one

Daylight dims
Leaving cold flouresence
Difficult to see you in this light
Please forgive this bold suggestion
Should you see your maker's face tonight
Look em in the eye
Look em in the eye, and tell them
I never lived a lie, never took a life
But surely saved one, hallelujah
It's time for you to bring me home

tool - third eye

Dreaming of that face again.
it's bright and blue and shimmering.
Grinning wide and
Comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes.

On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again
Rising up and wiping the
webs and the dew from my withered eye.

In..Out..In..Out..In..Out

A child's rhyme stuck in my head
It said that life is but a dream
I've spent so many years in question
To find i've known this all along.

So good to see you
I've missed you so much.
So glad it's over.
I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running?

Shroud-ing all the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me.
Black as holes within a memory
and blue as our new second sun.
I stick my hand into his shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand.
Which I attempt to reassemble
To see who I might have been.
I do not recognize the vessel,
but the eyes seem so familiar.
Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing one familiar song....

So good to see you.
I've missed you so much,
So glad it's over.
I've missed you so much.
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?"

Prying open my third eye.
So good to see you once again.
I thought that you were hiding.
You thought that I had run away.
Chasing the tail of dogma
Opened my eye
Opened my eye
Opened my eye....and there we were.

Sp good to see you once again.
I thought that you were hiding from me.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing the trail of smoke and reason.

Prying open my third eye.

He had a lot to say.
He had a lot of nothing to say.
We'll miss him.
So long.
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren't afraid to die.
Well then, so long.
Don't cry.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.
Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud.
We'll miss him.
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart.
We'll miss him.
No way to recall
What it was that you had said to me,
Like I care at all.
So loud.
You sure could yell.
You took a stand on every little thing
And so loud.
Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice so strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me.
Will you?
Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you fuckin lie.
Don't you step out of line.
Don't you fuckin lie.
You've claimed all this time that you would die for me.
Why then are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy?
You had a lot to say.
You had a lot of nothing to say.
Come down.
Get off your fuckin cross.
We need the fuckin space to nail the next fool martyr.
To ascend you must die.
You must be crucified
For our sins and our lies.
[sic]Goodbye...

As below, so above and beyond, I imagine

As below, so above and beyond, I imagine

Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going, going...
Keep going
Spiral out
Keep going
Spiral out
Keep going

Here comes the water.

All I knew and all I believed
are crumbling images
that no longer comfort me.
I scramble to reach higher ground,
some order and sanity,
or something to comfort me.

So I take what is mine,and hold what is mine,
suffocate what is mine, and bury what's mine.
Soon the water will come
and claim what is mine.
I must leave it behind,
and climb to a new place now.

This ground is not the rock I thought it to be.

Thought I was high, and free.
I thought I was there
divine destiny.

I was wrong.
This changes everything.

The water is rising up on me.
Thought the sun would come deliver me,
but the truth has come to punish me instead.

The ground is breaking down right under me.
Cleanse and purge me
in the water.

Junte-se em minha.. junte-se em minha, criança
And listen.. digging through my old numb shadow
e escute.. raspando em minha velha enebriada sombra

Shadow's shedding skin, i've been picking scabs again
troca de pele sombria, estou pegando as cascas (de machucado) novamente
I'm down digging through my old muscles for a clue
Estou para baixo, rastejando através de meus velhos musculos por uma idéia
I've been crawling on my belly clearing out what could've been
estou rastejando sobre meu estomago limpando o que eu poderia ter sido
I've been wallowing in my own confused insecure delusions
eu tenho jazido e rolado sobre minha própria desilução insegura
For a piece to cross me over or a word to guide me in
Por um pedaço para atravessar ou uma palavra para me guiar
I wanna feel the changes coming down
quero sentir as mudanças vindo
I wanna know what i've been hiding
quero saber o que tenho escondido

In my shadow

Change is coming through my shadow
mudanças estão vindo através de minha sombra

I wanna feel the metamorphosis and cleansing i've endured

Now is my time

Paranoid and to lie

Hate and fear and to do

Stretching up and over me

Soften this old armor

Hoping i can clear the way by
esperando que possa limpar o caminho através
Stepping through my shadow
