01. Sweat

Music by Tool
Lyrics by Adam Jones, Danny Carey, Maynard James Keenan, Paul D'Amour
I'm sweating
And breathing
And staring and thinking
And sinking
Deeper
It's almost like I'm swimming

The sun is burning hot again
On the hunter
And the fisherman
And he's trying to remember when
But it makes him dizzy

Seems like I've been here before
Seems so familiar
Seems like I'm slipping
Into a dream within a dream


Must be the way you whisper

The sun is setting cool again
I'm the thinker
And the fisherman
And I'm trying to remember when
But it makes me dizzy
And I'm sweating
And breathing
And staring and thinking
And sinking
Deeper
And it's almost like I'm swimming

Seems like I've been here before
Seems so familiar
Seems like I'm slipping
Into a dream within a dream
It's the way you whisper
It drags me under
And takes me home

02. Hush

Music by Tool
Lyrics by Adam Jones, Danny Carey, Maynard James Keenan, Paul D'Amour
Fuck you!

I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm not serious
I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm not serious
Things like
Fuck yourself
Fuck yourself
You piece of shit
Why don't you just go, kill yourself?
I said, I can't say
What I want to
Even if I'm just kidding, yeah
People tell me what to say
What to think
And what to play
I said
People tell me what to say
What to think
And what to play
I say
Fuck yourself
Fuck yourself
You piece of shit
Why don't you just go kill yourself?
I said, I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm not serious
I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm just kidding!

Fuck yourself
Fuck yourself
You piece of shit
Why don't you go
Fuck yourself

People tell me what to say
What to think and what to play
I said, people tell me what to say
What to think and what to play!

Just kidding
Just kidding
I'm just kidding

03. Part Of Me

Music by Tool
Lyrics by Adam Jones, Danny Carey, Maynard James Keenan, Paul D'Amour
Yeah
Ready

I know you well
You are a part of me
I know you better than I know myself
I know you best
Better than anyone
I know you better than I know myself
You are a part of me

You are just a part of me
You are just a part of me
You are just a part of me
You are just a part of me

Give it up
You don't speak
You don't judge
You can't leave
You can't hurt me
You're just here for me to use

I know you well
You are a part of me
I know you better that I know myself
I know you best
Better than anyone
I know you better than I know myself
I know you well
Better than one might think
I know you better than I know myself
I know you well
You are a part of me
I know you best
Better than anyone
I know you well
You are a part of me
I know you best
Better than one might think
It's time for you to make a sacrifice
It's time to die a little
Give it up
I know you best
Better than anyone
I know you better than I know myself

A part of me

04. Cold And Ugly

Music by Tool
Lyrics by Adam Jones, Danny Carey, Maynard James Keenan, Paul D'Amour
Throw that Bob Marley wannabe motherfucker out of here

Fade!

Underneath her skin and jewelry
Hidden in her words and eyes
Is a wall that's cold and ugly
And she's
Scared as hell
Trembling at the thought of feeling
Wide awake and keeping distance
Nothing seems to penetrate her
She's scared as hell

I am frightened too
I am frightened
Oh oh oh

Trembling at the thought of feeling
Wide awake and keeping distance
Nothing seems to penetrate her
'Cuz she's
Scared as hell

I am frightened too
I am frightened

Wide awake and keeping distance from my soul
Wide awake and
Keeping distancd from my soul

Fade!
Underneath the skin and jewlery
Hidden in her words and eyes
Is a wall that's cold and ugly
And she's scared as hell
Trembling at the thought of feeling
Wide awake and keeping distance
Nothing seems to penetrate her
'Cuz she's
Scared as hell

I am frightened too
I am frightened too
I am scared like you
I am frightened

05. Jerk-Off

Music by Tool
Lyrics by Adam Jones, Danny Carey, Maynard James Keenan, Paul D'Amour
Use to be a bunch of assholes that lived in this part of the building here,
but we systematically removed them like you would any kind of termite or roach

Someone told me once
That there's a right and wrong
And that punishment
Would come to those
Who dare to cross the line

But it must not be true
For jerk-offs like you
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole
But I'm tired of waiting

Someone told me once
That there's a right and a wrong
Punishment would come
To those who dare to cross the line
But it must not be true for jerk-offs like you
Maybe it's just bullshit and I should play God
And shoot you myself
Because I'm tired of waiting

Consequences dictate
Our course of action
And it doesn't matter what's right
It's only wrong if you get caught
If consequences dictate
My course of action
I should
I should play God
And shoot you myself
I'm very tired of waiting

I should
Kick you
Fuck you
And then shoot you in your fucking head

06. Opiate

Music by Tool
Lyrics by Adam Jones, Danny Carey, Maynard James Keenan, Paul D'Amour
Choices always were a problem for you
What you need is someone strong to guide you
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
What you need is someone strong to guide you
Like me
Like me
Like me
Like me

If you want to get your soul to heaven
Trust in me
Now don't you judge or question
You are broken now
But faith can heal you
Just do everything I tell you to do
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
What you need is someone strong to guide you
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
Let me lay my holy hand up
Hand upon you

My Gods will
Becomes me
When he speaks out
He speaks through me
He has needs
Like I do
We both want
To rape you

Jesus Christ
Why don't you come save my life now
Open my eyes and blind me with your light

If you want to get your soul to heaven,
Trust in me.
Now don't you judge or question.
You are broken now,
But faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.

Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now
Open my eyes, blind me with your light now.

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow,
Let me lay my holy hand upon you.

My Gods will
Becomes me.
When he speaks,
He speaks through me.
He has needs
like I do.
We both want
To rape you.

The Gaping Lotus Experience [Hidden Track]


I had a friend once he took some acid
Now he thinks he's a fire engine
It's okay until he pisses on your lighter
Kinda smells kinda cool kinda funny anyway

Satan, satan, satan...

I had a friend once he took some ecstasy
Tried to marry me and every one in the room
He was sort of loving kinda caring,
Kinda tried to fuck my lazy boy
It got a bit messy all over the curtains,
Arm chair covers, throw pillows, and carpeting

Satan, satan, satan...

I'm getting bored again...
