Tool lyrics

Tool - Reflection

I have come curiously close to the end,
though...
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole...
Defeated,
I concede and
move closer...
I may find comfort here...
I may find peace within the emptiness,
How Pitiful...

It's calling me...

And in my darkest moment,
feeble and weeping...
The moon tells me a secret,
a confidant...
As full and bright as I am,
this light is not my own, and...
A million light reflections pass over me
Its source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her -
...we are lifeless satellites drifting

And as I pull my head out,
I am without one doubt...
You wanna peer down here,
survey my narcissism.
I must crucify the ego,
before it's far too late!
I pray the light lifts me out,
before I pine away.

So crucify the ego,
before it's far too late...
And leave behind this place;
so negative,
and blind,
and cynical...
And you will come to find
that we are all one mind...
Capable of all that's imagined
and all conceivable...
So let the light touch you,
so that the words spill through,
and let the past break through,
bringing out our hope and reason...

Before we hide away...

Tool - Parabola
We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are Choosing to be here, right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This holy reality, this holy experience.
Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion.

Alive!

In this holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion...

Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and, celebrate this
(chance to be alive and breathing 2x)

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. we are eternal.
all this pain is an illusion.
