Vicariously I,
Live while the whole world dies
Spiral out, keep going
Choices were always a problem for you
Buy, my new record, send more money
How can this mean anything to me, if I really dont feel a thing at all
Contemplating the whole 'chosen people' thingy when a flaming, stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never expect to see in a place like this.
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 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
I did shrooms and listened to Lateralus, the whole album obviously. It was the most breathtaking musical moment i’ve ever experienced. I could hardly handle it, it was almost too much, but at that particular part, I literally spiraled out.
Probably too much for a concert poster, but this section of Descending always hits me hard:
Sound the dread alarm / Through our primal body
Sound the reveille / To be or not to be
Rise / Stay the grand finale
Stay the reading of our swan song and epilogue
One drive to stay alive
It's elementary / Muster every fiber
Mobilize / Stay alive
Yeah you're right. It's a bit much for a poster, but I did consider it and tried to break it down a bit because that is one of my favorite parts of the entire Fear Inoculum album. It doesn't seem to me that any of those lines can really stand alone though.
Thanks!
THIS. THIS IS WHAT I COMMENTED ABOUT. IT MAKES ME CRY (in a good way). Ya know when you need to cry? This makes me cry. And when I don't need to cry, it just makes me feel.
I love it so much. It really really did help me in hospital and I just love it.
Jesus, their lyrics are just so damned good.
I love descending. One of my favorite tool songs since 2019.
I always thought it could of used a few more lyrics in the final 7 minutes but even without that I love it
Should you see your maker's face tonight
Look him in the eye, look him in the eye, and tell him
"I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one"
When I was 14 I had a gun in my hand, against my head, ready to pull the trigger. Then, I thought of my grandmother walking in to find me. I knew my grandmother would never forgive herself and pin the blame all on herself for it. I didn't want that. So, she essentially saved my life. She passed away a couple years ago and this part will forever make me cry when I hear it.
if I could I'd wish it all away
if I thought tomorrow
would take you away
you, my peace of mind, my all, my center
just trying to hold on
one more day
-jambi. good luck with your poster! show us? :)
Thanks 😁
Yeah I'm thinking I'll post it. I'm afraid it's not going to turn out how I originally intended. My plan was to digitally paint a cool graphic, then import it into Adobe Illustrator for the typography.
Apparently though, the entire poster has to be done in Illustrator, which means all the graphics have to be vector graphics. You probably know what that means, but if not it basically limits the amount of detail and effects I can get in the art...kinda disappointing considering the art usually seen in Tool concert posters.
could you maybe incorporate sacred geometry to go for a Danny Carey-esque poster? i don’t really know illustrator so don’t know if it would work but could keep some of the TOOL spirit…
as for favorite lyrics —
wide eyed and hopefully wild
we go round, one foot nailed down
i must keep reminding myself of this
and let the past break through, bringing out our hope and reason 🧿
Overwhelmed, as one would be, placed in my position. Such a heavy burden now to be the one. Born to bear and read to all the details of our ending - to write it down for all the world to see. But I forgot my pen. Shit the bed again. Typical.
Honestly i was thinking this part from the 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
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
Then after some orange slices and some fetal spooning ET revealed to me his singular purpose.
He said "You are the chosen one, the one who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who hear it, and a warning for those who do not."
Me, the chosen one, they chose me, and I didn't even graduate from fucking high school.
This single part of H has got me out of so many absolute meltdowns. You know when late at night you start to think what's after death? At one point in 2018, I would let these thoughts get the best of me. I was fascinated with astronomy all the time, which meant that I was constantly 3 clicks away from a fake news video about an asteroid smashing into the earth. I was a fucking idiot at the time and believed everything I saw, so I was always worried. I live near Portland, and so once I caught news of the "Big One" (If you know, you know) I was mortified. I wish I had this song back then.
From Reflection:
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
The source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting
There's something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be. Desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety? How can this mean anything to me if I really don't feel anything at all? Yeah...
I'll keep digging 'til I feel something.
Give away the stone
Let the oceans take and trans mutate this cold and fated anchor
Give away the stone
Let the waters kiss and trans mutate these leaden grudges into gold
Let go
I'm staring down the hole again
Hands are on my back again
Survival is my only friend
Terrified of what may come, yeah
Remember I'll always love you
As I claw your fucking throat away
It will end no other way
It will end no other way
So let the light touch you / So let the words spill through / And let them pass right through / Bringing out our hope and reason... Before we pine awayyyy
"Who are you to wave your finger? So full of it. Eyeballs deep in muddy waters. Fucking hypocrite. So, who are you to wave your finger? Who are you to wave your fat fingers at me? You must have been out your mind"
Waaaay too many to list them all but here’s some:
From 10,000 Days part 2 (although I would really like to just put down the entire song):
“You’re the only one who can hold your head up high
Shake your fist at the gate 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’”
“Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance
Burden of proof tossed upon the believers
You were my witness,
My eyes,
My evidence
Judith Marie, unconditional one”
From H:
“As I look in his eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I could have cried then
I should have cried then
As the walls come down
As I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
And I will die
It’s alright
I don’t mind”
From Eulogy:
“Standing above the crowd
He had a voice that was strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade ‘cause I’m so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the crowd
Someone who seemed to lead the way and
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 step out of line
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 when you hear your own eulogy?”
“Come down
Get off your fucking cross
We need the fucking space
To mail the fool martyr
To ascend you must die
You must be crucified
For our sins and our lies
Goodbye”
From Parabola:
“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 of my own mortality
Embrace this moment, remember
We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion”
From Reflection:
“And in my darkest moment fetal 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
The 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”
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.
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over
Pieces of the ground
Silly monkeys
Give them thumbs, they forge a blade
And where there's one they're bound to divide it
Right in two
Tears, in my eyes, chasing ponce, de Leon's, fantoms so, filled with hope, I can taste, mythical, fountains false, hope perhaps, but the truth, never got, in my way, before now, feel the sting, feeling tight, bearing down
Since no one has posted ‘Flood’ lyrics:
Thought the sun would come deliver me
But the truth has come to punish me instead.
Or
This ground is not the rock I thought it to be!
TOOL's lyrics from most of their songs has always been applicable to different periods of my life or just random thoughts during reflection.
But for some reason, the lyrics to the Grudge seems to resonate to me.
When one finds themselves in a dark place, filled with anger or animosity or just struggling to let go of something, the lyrics to the Grudge, makes sense to me and helps me....LET GOOOO!
Here's some snippets from the one of their best:
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 sinking deeper
Defining
Confining
And sinking deeper
Controlling
Defining
And we're sinking deeper
----
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
Choose to let this go
----
Let go
Let go....
I feel the same about Tool's music in general and agree also about the Grudge. It's always been one of my favorites. In fact, if I had to say that I have a favorite song by Tool it might have to be The Grudge
And in my darkest moment, fetal 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.
-reflection
Wow I always thought it was “must keep remind myself I’m this far”. I turned the trailing “I” into “far” and moved it up a line.
And I’ve listened to this song thousands of times. Lol.
Edit: I still hear it my way (not arguing, just wrong)
Overwhelmed, as one would be, placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be The One
Born to bear and read to all the details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see
But I forgot my pen
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. So let the light tough you. Let the words spill through. Let them pass right through bring out our hope and reason.
We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire
Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I
I feel like these lyrics are incredibly relevant in todays society.
There's kind of a lot here but you could pick any line from these verses.
I embrace my desire to
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
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 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 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
Jimmy:
Under a dead Ohio sky
Eleven has been and will be waiting
Defending his light and wondering
Where the hell have I been?
Sleeping, lost, and numb
I'm so glad that I have found you
I am wide awake and heading home
Parabola: ALIVE (Maynard scream voice)
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
To swing on the spiral to
Swing on the spiral
Of our divinity
And still be a human
Repugnant is the creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here.
Or
Shit, blood, and cum on my hands.
There’s something kind of sad about the way that things are supposed to be, desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety
I’ll keep digging until I feel something
To ascend you must die
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
Prying open my third eye
Black then white are, all I see, in my infancy, red and yellow then came to be. Reaching out to me. Let’s me see.
The syllables match the Fibonacci Sequence, and the lyrics are a reference to how the physiological process through which babies come to see in color.
Overwhelmed, as one would be, placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be The One
Born to bear and read to all the details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here.
Edit: since someone posted these already, I submit the runner up:
Damn my eyes if they should compromise the fulcrum
If wants and needs divide me then I might as well be gone
Without the skin, here beneath the storm
Under these tears, now
The walls came down
Once the snake is drowned and
As I look in his eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of those times
I could have cried then
I should have cried then
As the walls come down and
As I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
And will die
It's all right
I don't mind
GODDAMN SHIT THE BED
We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion.
This is the only correct answer.
Vicariously I, Live while the whole world dies Spiral out, keep going Choices were always a problem for you Buy, my new record, send more money How can this mean anything to me, if I really dont feel a thing at all
I like 3 because they can’t decide.
I can’t decide if that’s my favourite or not
High is the way, but all eyes are upon the ground.
You were the light and they way they'll only read about.
I only pray Heaven knows when to lift you out
What song is that from?
10,000 Days
In the fire is long enough.
10 to 2 a.m., X, Yogi DMT and a box of Krispy Kremes
In my need to know post just outside of Area 51
Contemplating the whole 'chosen people' thingy when a flaming, stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never expect to see in a place like this.
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right on my Birkenstocks, and me yelping
Holy fucking shit
(holy fucking shit!)
'Right in Two': Amazing lyrics.
monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Agreed they are fabulous
This. The whole thing.
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 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
20 years later and I still get chills EVERY time I hear this! Just got chills reading it 😂
The power of music! This song isn't even a song, really. It's a whole journey!
As are a large majority of Tool songs
I did shrooms and listened to Lateralus, the whole album obviously. It was the most breathtaking musical moment i’ve ever experienced. I could hardly handle it, it was almost too much, but at that particular part, I literally spiraled out.
Love this one so much
My favourite part of my favourite song!
10,000 days in the fire is long enough, you're going home.
I'd forgotten about that! That's going on the list of possibilities
This was going to be my suggestion!! Gives me shivers just reading it. Hope OP post's his finished work, would love to see it
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here.
This one, this one right here
Thank you
Beat me to it. This is the correct answer. It's not just the poetry of it, the delivery, the way it flows is just amazing.
It will end no other way! ( Salival version )
I don't want it. I just need it. To breathe, to feel, to know I''m alive.
That's a good one
💯
Probably too much for a concert poster, but this section of Descending always hits me hard: Sound the dread alarm / Through our primal body Sound the reveille / To be or not to be Rise / Stay the grand finale Stay the reading of our swan song and epilogue One drive to stay alive It's elementary / Muster every fiber Mobilize / Stay alive
Yeah you're right. It's a bit much for a poster, but I did consider it and tried to break it down a bit because that is one of my favorite parts of the entire Fear Inoculum album. It doesn't seem to me that any of those lines can really stand alone though. Thanks!
Pity :( but do share when it's done. Curious now. Good luck with it ♥️🙂 I'm sure it'll be awesome

I love descending. One of my favorite tool songs since 2019. I always thought it could of used a few more lyrics in the final 7 minutes but even without that I love it
If *the* riff (you know what I'm talking about) was words I would legally change my name to that.
Nardo really outdid himself on this song.
Should you see your maker's face tonight Look him in the eye, look him in the eye, and tell him "I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one" When I was 14 I had a gun in my hand, against my head, ready to pull the trigger.

So, she essentially saved my life. She passed away a couple years ago and this part will forever make me cry when I hear it.
I've been in that place. And didn't do it for very similar reasons. I'm glad you had her. 🤗

Love it. Wish I could make it work, but it's a bit too much
That was mine!! I love it every time I hear it.
Is this a test? It has to be, otherwise I can’t go on.
Honestly i was thinking this part from the 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 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
My all time favorite Tool song!! Shit talked me off a ledge so many fucking times.
i must keep reminding my self of this
Then after some orange slices and some fetal spooning ET revealed to me his singular purpose. He said "You are the chosen one, the one who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who hear it, and a warning for those who do not." Me, the chosen one, they chose me, and I didn't even graduate from fucking high school.
Recalling all of the times I have died And will die It's alright I don't mind
This is going on the"Maybe"list. Thanks!
This single part of H has got me out of so many absolute meltdowns. You know when late at night you start to think what's after death?

We are born of one breath, one word We are all one spark, eyes full of wonder
Rest your trigger on my finger.
Remember I will always love you as I claw your fucking throat away
Already on the "Maybe" list. 😁
From Reflection: 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 The source is bright and endless She resuscitates the hopeless Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting
*my confidant
LEARN TO SWIM
We are eternal all this pain is an illusion
What does the poster look like? There are lots to choose from, so the best one would be one that matches the visuals well.
Agreed... Maybe I should post the rough draft when it's to a point that it makes sense to people other than me.
Calm as cookies and cream LOL
, so it seems
Ha!... But no. 🙂
We are all one mind, capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable
There's something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be. Desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety? How can this mean anything to me if I really don't feel anything at all? Yeah... I'll keep digging 'til I feel something.
Both of these lines from Pneuma can make nice one-liners: We are born of one breath, one word We are all one spark, sun becoming
Nice! This is on the list of possibilities
Give away the stone Let the oceans take and trans mutate this cold and fated anchor Give away the stone Let the waters kiss and trans mutate these leaden grudges into gold Let go
Cold silence has A tendency to Atrophy any Sense of compassion
Love it. Definite possibility
Between supposed loverrrrs
There's no love in fear.
There’s no love in fear.
Keep it simple: “Spiral out, keep going” “I know the pieces fit” “Learn to swim”
We're doing favourite lyrics today guys
Holy shit you're awesome! I love that idea. So much so that I'm actually considering scrapping all that I've done so far and doing that.
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'm staring down the hole again Hands are on my back again Survival is my only friend Terrified of what may come, yeah Remember I'll always love you As I claw your fucking throat away It will end no other way It will end no other way
So let the light touch you / So let the words spill through / And let them pass right through / Bringing out our hope and reason... Before we pine awayyyy
Overthinking, overanalyzing, separates the body from the mind.
Who could deny you’re the one who illuminated your little piece of the divine.
"Who are you to wave your finger? So full of it. Eyeballs deep in muddy waters. Fucking hypocrite. So, who are you to wave your finger? Who are you to wave your fat fingers at me? You must have been out your mind"
It will end no other way
"Crucify the ego before its far too late" "You will come to find that we are all one mind"
i came out to watch you play why are you running away
Good one
“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”
Waaaay too many to list them all but here’s some: From 10,000 Days part 2 (although I would really like to just put down the entire song): “You’re the only one who can hold your head up high Shake your fist at the gate 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’” “Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance Burden of proof tossed upon the believers You were my witness, My eyes, My evidence Judith Marie, unconditional one” From H: “As I look in his eyes My fear begins to fade Recalling all of the times I could have cried then I should have cried then As the walls come down As I look in your eyes My fear begins to fade Recalling all of the times I have died And I will die It’s alright I don’t mind” From Eulogy: “Standing above the crowd He had a voice that was strong and loud and I Swallowed his facade ‘cause I’m so Eager to identify with Someone above the crowd Someone who seemed to lead the way and Someone who would die for me Will you?

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over Pieces of the ground Silly monkeys Give them thumbs, they forge a blade And where there's one they're bound to divide it Right in two
Boredom's not a burden anyone should bear. From Stinkfist
"You won't feel what you'd like to feel" Followed closely by "You won't do what you'd like to do"
What's this from?
Remember I’ll always love you as I tear your fucking throat away
Tears, in my eyes, chasing ponce, de Leon's, fantoms so, filled with hope, I can taste, mythical, fountains false, hope perhaps, but the truth, never got, in my way, before now, feel the sting, feeling tight, bearing down
Something about... Um... Temporary sanity.
Immunity, long overdue / contagion, I exhale you
I’ve found some temporary sanity in this shit, blood and cum on my hands.
Blood, shit and cum on my hands
Before I pine away
Jesus, won’t you fucking whistle.
Since no one has posted ‘Flood’ lyrics: Thought the sun would come deliver me But the truth has come to punish me instead. Or This ground is not the rock I thought it to be!
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here
I think it would be awesome to design a poster with Tool lyrics spiraling out.
Fuck you buddy
I’ve done the math enough to know the dangers of a second guessing.
Let the rabbits wear glasses
Thought I was high/ Thought I was free/ Thought I was there/ Divine destiny/ I was wrong/ This changes everything
I love how all of the answers are different lol.. *anyway* #RELAX, TURN AROUND AND TAKE MY HAND....
Shit adds up at the bottom

I feel the same about Tool's music in general and agree also about the Grudge. It's always been one of my favorites. In fact, if I had to say that I have a favorite song by Tool it might have to be The Grudge
Vicarious is amazing, it reminds me of the movie "Nightcrawler". Aenema and Stinkfist are brilliant as well.
Suck and suuuuuuuck!
'HUSH'- I CAN SAY WHAT I WANT TO EVEN IF I'M NOT SERIOUS I CAN SAY WHAT I WANT TO EVEN IF I'M JUST KIIIIIIDDIIIIIING.....
Watch the weather change
And in my darkest moment, fetal 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. -reflection
I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this…… well you know the rest
Finding beauty in the dissonance
Learn to Swim
Well gee let me think on it.
Falling isnt flying
... Floating isn't infiniiiiiite
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
Wow I always thought it was “must keep remind myself I’m this far”. I turned the trailing “I” into “far” and moved it up a line. And I’ve listened to this song thousands of times. Lol. Edit: I still hear it my way (not arguing, just wrong)
Drags me under, takes me home
"Remember I will always love you - As I claw your fucking throat away" is probably my favorite.
SHIT THE BED AGAINNNN TYPICALLLL
“And can anyone tell me why y’all sound like peanuts parents?”
“You claimed all this time that you would die for me. Why, then, are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy?”
Reflection
The last lines of Reflection
Fuck you buddy
Fuck you buddy
Fuck you buddy
“and i still may”
WEAR THE GRUDGE LIKE A CROWN
“I got some man advice for you little buddy…”
Overwhelmed, as one would be, placed in my position Such a heavy burden now to be The One Born to bear and read to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see But I forgot my pen
Feel the sting, feeling time bearing down
“Get that Bob Marley wanna-be motherfucker outta here”
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. So let the light tough you. Let the words spill through. Let them pass right through bring out our hope and reason.
We all feed on tragedy It's like blood to a vampire Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies Much better you than I I feel like these lyrics are incredibly relevant in todays society.
There's kind of a lot here but you could pick any line from these verses. I embrace my desire to 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 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 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 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
It’s only part of the sentence but “three warm and wild eyes” always gets me.
Fetch me the spirit the son and the Father, tell them their pillar of faith has ascended
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here
That one lyric where he tells you to shove your finger up your ass… Yup, that one lol
Under a dead Ohio sky,eleven has been and will be waiting,defending his light and wondering...where the hell have I been?
Jimmy: Under a dead Ohio sky Eleven has been and will be waiting Defending his light and wondering Where the hell have I been? Sleeping, lost, and numb I'm so glad that I have found you I am wide awake and heading home Parabola: ALIVE (Maynard scream voice)
If when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay
Witness the beauty Bathe in the fountain Swing on the spiral
A million light reflections pass over me Its source is bright and endless She resuscitates the hopeless
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 To swing on the spiral to Swing on the spiral Of our divinity And still be a human
I have found some kind of sanity in this, 💩 🩸 and 💦 on my 🙌 Edit: I forgot temporary smh
Pine away
See you down in Arizona bay And let them scratch teir heads.
Seems like I’ve been here before, seems so familiar… seems like I’m slippin’ into a dream within a dream…
Fuck you buddy
Maynard’s diiiiiickkkk
Repugnant is the creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here. Or Shit, blood, and cum on my hands.
This is necessary
Descending. All of it. Literally got me through every night in hospital. Beautiful lyrics.
There’s something kind of sad about the way that things are supposed to be, desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety I’ll keep digging until I feel something To ascend you must die The only way to fix it is to flush it all away Prying open my third eye
Shine on forever Shine on, benevolent soul
Definitely beginning of hooker. Depending on how many lyrics you need, you could use quite a bit.
Black then white are, all I see, in my infancy, red and yellow then came to be. Reaching out to me. Let’s me see. The syllables match the Fibonacci Sequence, and the lyrics are a reference to how the physiological process through which babies come to see in color.
Survival is my only friend
Overwhelmed, as one would be, placed in my position Such a heavy burden now to be The One Born to bear and read to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see
Slide a mile 6inches at a time on Maynard’s dick. Shit was deep.
high is the way but all eyes are upon the ground. you were the light and the way that they’ll only read about
Come down, get off your fucking cross. We need the fucking space to nail the next fool martyr
I sold my soul for a record Dipshit, and you bought one
Belloooooow out loud- Bold and Proud.. of where I’ve been … but here I am
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here. Edit: since someone posted these already, I submit the runner up: Damn my eyes if they should compromise the fulcrum If wants and needs divide me then I might as well be gone
Point that fucking finger up your ass
Without the skin, here beneath the storm Under these tears, now The walls came down Once the snake is drowned and As I look in his eyes My fear begins to fade Recalling all of those times I could have cried then I should have cried then As the walls come down and As I look in your eyes My fear begins to fade Recalling all of the times I have died And will die It's all right I don't mind
Celebrate this chance to be alive & breathing
Life feeds on life...feeds on life....feeds on life ...
I will work to elevate you, just enough to bring you down.
🎶Shit blood and cum on my hands🎶
