There's a shadow just behind me,
Shrouding every step I take,
Making every promise empty,
Pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path of "must we"
Just because the son has come.

Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past is done?
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past is done?

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over.

I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down.

Mother Mary, won't you whisper
Something but the past is done?
Mother Mary, won't you whisper
Something but the past is done?

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over.

I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
Trust me [5x]

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over.
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over.

I want what I want [4x]

This music is just so powerful - the days trajectory has shifted.

Love TOOL a little TOO much.

ANYTHING Maynard does is amazing. Of course Tool, but A Perfect Circle is great and Puscifer is more laid back. All with his deep profound lyrics. Yes!

Mind Blown  

An unusual choice for RP...I jumped to the Rock Mix just now and I'm hearing this song again. 

Hey, I could be wrong. Perhaps RP is playing more than one Tool song. But if you've heard this song once, you've heard it 400 times. Not my thing.

My fav group of 'musicians musicians' as they each possess superior talent that is showcased by epically intricate & complicated, progressive compositions in later albums.

Air drums with Danny Carey is almost as good with Neil Peart to start your day.

RP is the BEST

Serious and beautiful rock and roll.
Everyone plays in service to the song.
The ending is outstanding.
