The Grudge (08:36)
Tool • Lateralus
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 letterman

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
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 you will
Or will not tolerate
Desperate to control
All and everything
Unable to forgive
Your scarlet letterman

Wear the grudge like a crown
Desperate to control
Unable to forgive
And sinking deeper

Defining
Confining
Sinking deeper

Controlling
Defining
And we're sinking deeper

Saturn comes back around
To show you everything
Lets you choose what you will
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 'til you
Choose to
Let this go
Choose to
Let this go

Give away the stone
Let the ocean take and transmutate
This cold and fated anchor
Give away the stone
Let the waters kiss and transmutate
These leaden grudges into gold
(gold... gold... gold... gold... gold...
gold... gold... gold... gold...)

Let go

Let go

The Patient (07:12)
Tool • Lateralus
A groan of tedium escapes me
Startling the fearful
Is this a test?
It has to be
Otherwise I can't go on

Draining patience
Drain vitality
This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old

But I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here

But I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here

Wait it out
I'm gonna wait it out
Gonna wait it out (be patient)

If there were no rewards to reap
No loving embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away
By now

Gonna wait it out

And if there were no desire to heal
The damaged and broken met along
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away
By now

And I still may
(sigh)
I still may

"Be patient,"
"Be patient,"
"Be patient."

I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
''I must keep reminding myself of this''
I must keep reminding myself of this!

If there were no rewards to reap (''I must keep reminding myself of this'')
No loving embrace to see me through (''I must keep reminding myself of this'')
This tedious path I've chosen, here (''I must keep reminding myself of this'')
I certainly would've walked away (''I must keep reminding myself of this'')
By now

And I still may
And I still may
And I still may
''And I am''

Gonna wait it out
Gonna wait it out
Wait it out
Gonna wait it out

Schism (06:45)
Tool • Lateralus
I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched 'em fall away
Mildewed and smoldering
Fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed
Will set two lovers' souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes
Testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire, then
Has a burned a hole between us, so
We cannot see to reach an end
Crippling our communication

''I know the pieces fit''
'Cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame-
That doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other
Watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together [and]
Rediscover communication

The poetry
That comes from the squaring-off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit
But I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering
Strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know
The dangers of our second guessing
[We're] Doomed to crumble unless we grow
[We] Must strengthen our communication

(Cold, cold, cold)
Cold silence has
A tendency to
Atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers-
Between supposed lovers...

I know the pieces fit...
I know the pieces fit!
I know the pieces fit!
I know the pieces fit!
''I know the pieces fit!''
''I know the pieces fit!''
''I know the pieces fit!''
'''''I know the pieces fit!'''''

Parabol (03:06)
Tool • Lateralus
So familiar
And overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now

Embracing you, this reality here
This one, this form I hold now
So wide-eyed and hopeful
Wide-eyed and hopefully wild

We barely remember
What came before this precious moment
Choosing to be here
Right now
Hold on, stay inside

This body holding me
Reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel
Eternal, all this pain is an illusion

Parabola (06:04)
Tool • Lateralus
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!

I'm...
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
A chance to be
Alive and breathing

This body holding me
Reminds me of my own mortality
Embrace this moment, remember
We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion

Ticks & Leeches (08:08)
Tool • Lateralus
Suck and suck
Suckin' up all you can suckin' up all you can suck and suck
And workin' up under my patience like a little tick
Fat little parasite

Suck me dry
My friend is bruised and borrowed
You thieving bastards, you have
Turned my blood cold and bitter
Beat my compassion black and blue

Hope this is what you wanted
Hope this is what you had in mind
'Cause this is what you're gettin'

I hope you're chokin'
I hope you choke on this
I hope you're chokin'
I hope you choke on this

Takin' all you can takin' all I can we can take
Takin' all you can takin' all you can we can take
Got nothing left to give to you

Blood suckin' parasitic little
Tick suckin' parasitic little
Blood suckin' parasitic little
Tick

Take what you want and then go

Hope this is what you wanted
Hope this is what you had in mind
'Cause this is what you're gettin'

Suck me dry... Suck me dry... Suck me dry...

Suck me dry, baby
Suck
Suck me dry
Suck me dry
Suck
Suck me dry

Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you had in mind?
Is this what you wanted?
'Cause this is what you're gettin'

I hope
I hope
I hope
You choke

Lateralus (09:24)
Tool • Lateralus
Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
Lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
Drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
Lets me see
There is so much more that
Beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
Drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving 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
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
To swing on the spiral
To swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I move 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 whatever will bewilder me.
Whatever 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.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.

Reflection (11:09)
Tool • Lateralus
I have come curiously close to the end, down
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.
And it's calling me.
It's calling me.
It's calling me.
It's calling me.

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping.
The moon tells me a secret. My confidant.
As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own and
A million light reflections pass over me
It's 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
Don't want to be down here soothing my narcissism
I must crucify the ego before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out before I pine away.
Before I pine away.
Before I pine away.
Before I pine away.

So crucify the ego before it's far too late
To 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
Just let the light touch you and let the words spill through
Just let them pass right through, bringing out our hope and reason.

Before we pine away.
Before we pine away.
Before we pine away.
Before we pine away.

"I, I don't have a whole lot of time. Um, OK, I'm a former
employee of Area 51. I, I was let go on a medical discharge
about a week ago and, and... [chokes] I've kind of been
running across the country. Damn, I don't know where to start,
they're, they're gonna, um, they'll triangulate on this position
really soon. OK, um, um, OK, what we're thinking of as, as
aliens, they're extradimensional beings, that, an earlier
precursor of the, um, space program they made contact with.
They are not what they claim to be. Uh, they've infiltrated a,
a lot of aspects of, of, of the military establishment,
particularly the Area 51. The disasters that are coming, they,
the military, I'm sorry, the government knows about them. And
there's a lot of safe areas in this world that they could begin
moving the population to now. They are not! They want those
major population centers wiped out so that the few that are
left will be more easily controllable."
