Ooh I'm listening to Tool... yeah, cuz Tool is awesome as fuck. It really helps whe you've been digging through some recent painful memories... Yeah I don't want to talk about it... But anyway... Tool... Yeah..... I think this entry will just be Tool lyrics... So you can read them and see how good they are too.

Aiight this one is called "Hush" I really like it because it feels like something I can relate too.

"I can't say what I want to,
even if I'm not serious.
Things like....
"Fuck yourself,
kill yourself,
you piece of shit."

People tell me what to say,
what to think ,
and what to play.

I say...
"GO fuck yourself,
you piece of shit.
Why don't you go kill yourself?"

Just kidding."

yeah.... ok this one is "Intolerance"

"I don't want to be hostile.
I don't want to be dismal.
But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance either.
See
I want to believe you,
and I want to trust
and I want to have faith to put away the dagger.

But you lie, cheat, and steal.
And yet
I tolerate you.
Veil of virtue hung to hide your method
while I smile and laugh and dance
and sing your praise and glory.
Shroud of virtue hung to mask your stigma
as I smile and laugh and dance
and sing your glory
while you
lie, cheat, and steal.
How can I tolerate you.

Our guilt,our blame ,
I've been far too sympathetic.
Our blood, our fault.
I've been far too sympathetic.

I am not innocent.
You are not innocent.
Noone is innocent.

I will no longer tolerate you
Even if I must go down beside you.
Because,
Noone is innocent."

Aww how nice, I understand all that shit toooooo weeellll.........

ok this one is "Sober" I realy like the  "I am jsut a worthless liar/imbecile part"

"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 called "must we"
just before the son has come.
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
something but the past and 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 things 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.

Trust me.

Mother Mary won't you whisper
something but what's past and done.

Trust me.

I want what I want."

This song, "H." can make me cry really easily if i let it...

"What's coming through is alive.
What's holding up is a mirror.
But what's singing songs is a snake
Looking to turn this piss to wine.

They're both totally void of hate,
But killing me just the same.

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.

And I feel this coming over like a storm again.
Considerately.

Venomous voice, tempts me,
Drains me, bleeds me,
Leaves me cracked and empty.
Drags me down like some sweet gravity.

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.

And I feel this coming over like a storm again.

I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,
And considerately killing me.

Without the skin,
Beneath the storm,
Under these tears
The walls came down.

And 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.

And 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.

I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,

And considerately killing me."

Ok, this song is called "Forty Six & 2" As you're reading the lyrics, try to figure out what the song is about...

"My shadow's

Shedding skin and
I've been picking
Scabs again.
I'm down
Digging through
My old muscles
Looking for a clue.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in

My shadow.
Change is coming through my shadow.
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking
My scabs again.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic
And insecure delusions.

I wanna feel the change consume me,
Feel the outside turning in.
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured within

My shadow
Change is coming.
Now is my time.
Listen to my muscle memory.
Contemplate what I've been clinging to.
Forty-six and two ahead of me.

I choose to live and to
Grow, take and give and to
Move, learn and love and to
Cry, kill and die and to
Be paranoid and to
Lie, hate and fear and to
Do what it takes to move through.

I choose to live and to
Lie, kill and give and to
Die, learn and love and to
Do what it takes to step through.

See my shadow changing,
Stretching up and over me.
Soften this old armor.
Hoping I can clear the way
By stepping through my shadow,
Coming out the other side.
Step into the shadow.
Forty six and two are just ahead of me."

Mmkay? Got an idea? Think of something..... Ok! This song is about the Jugian theory and the teachings of some dude (i forgot his name) look it up if you want to know more... But basically, it's a belief about our evolution and creation and life. It's really interesting. In the song, his shadow is referring to everything that he is not, everything that counteracts his personall image of himself. When he says that his shadow's shedding skin, he's saying that his shadow is becoming less, and he is accepting his shadow as a part of him. Theoretically, when humans accept and join their shadow, we will step up to the next evolution of ourselfs with will have 46 and 2 chromosomes. When that happens we will be in tune with every cell in our body and they will all have their own conciousness and memory (Listen to my muscle memory) And finally, when he talks about chosing to live and lie and die and all that he's saying that he's accepting everything that he is and all that he is capable of, good and bad. Isn't that great??? That song really makes you think huh? I'll bet you weren't expecting that at all, huh?

yeah I want to do more of this but I am 150% sure that you're bored and probably didn't even read it. So i'm not gonna, but i'll leave you with a piece of "Pushit"

"Remember that I'll always love you, Even as i tear your fucking throat away, But it will end no other way....."
