Where my TOOL fans at?

[bicentennial_baby]

:D

It took so long to remember just what happened.
I was so young and vestal then,
you know it hurt me,
but I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive
even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
I've got my hands bound,
my head down, my eyes closed,
and my throat wide open.

Do unto others what has been done to you

I'm treading water,
I need to sleep a while.
My lamb and martyr, you look so precious.
Won't you come a bit closer,
close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this,
I can't stand to burn too long.
Released in this sodomy.
For one sweet moment I am whole.

Do unto you now what has been done to me.

You're breathing so I guess you're still alive
even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
Won't you come just a bit closer,
close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this.
I need this to make me whole.
There's release in this sodomy.
For I am your witness that
blood and flesh can be trusted.
And only this one holy medium brings me piece of mind.

Got your hands bound, your head down,
your eyes closed.
You look so precious now.

(Show me something
Thought I could make it end
Thought I could wash the stains away
Thought I could break the circle if I
Slipped right into your skin
So sweet was your surrender
We have become one
I have become my terror
And you my precious lamb and martyr.)

I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this
shit blood and cum on my hands.

I've come round full circle.
My lamb and martyr, this will be over soon.
You look so precious.

13. Love the band. Love that song...and the video. OMG

Creepy, creepy, creepy, but oh so good! Haven't thought of Tool in a while! Thanks for the good flashback. :)

[bicentennial_baby]

14. Randy!!! OMG!!

I miss you! There was a thread the other day..."What's the oldest PM in Your Inbox?"...And it was YOU! :bounce:

How are you sweetie? How's things in SF? I'm living in Beantown now :D

:pals:

[LeftCoast]

16. Life is pretty good!

I just passed my licensure test and am now officially an RN! I also graduate in one semester with my MS in Nursing. I can hardly wait to be done, let me tell ya.

Sorry I've been away for so long. I was moderating which took up huge amounts of my online time, plus when things were slow I didn't feel comfortable posting my opinion very often. I feel so liberated. :)

How you liking Beantown? I've never been there, but some people have told me that there are many similarities to SF. Must be a fantastic place. :P

[bicentennial_baby]

18. Oh, I'm so happy for you!!

:bounce: Fucking yay!! :bounce:

I'm actually in the 'burbs, Quincy to be exact, but I was just in the city a lil while ago to protest for Marriage Equality at the MA Statehouse...it was excellent :D

Soooo good to see you!! :)

:hug:

19. Another Excellent Tool Song....Flood

Here comes the water.

All I knew and all I believed
are crumbling images

that no longer comfort me.
I scramble to reach higher ground,
some order and sanity,
or something to comfort me.

So I take what is mine,and hold what is mine,

suffocate what is mine, and bury what's mine.
Soon the water will come
and claim what is mine.
I must leave it behind,
and climb to a new place now.

This ground is not the rock I thought it to be.

Thought I was high, and free.
I thought I was there
divine destiny.

I was wrong.
This changes everything.

The water is rising up on me.
Thought the sun would come deliver me,
but the truth has come to punish me instead.

The ground is breaking down right under me.
Cleanse and purge me
in the water.

[LeftCoast]

20. My 2nd favorite Tool song: Sober

There's a shadow just behind me,
shrouding every breath 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.

21. Awwww, what an excellent choice..This is what I'm listening to right now..

Third Eye....

Dreaming of that face again.
It's bright and blue and shimmering.
Grinning wide
And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes.

On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again
Rising up
And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye.

In... Out... In... Out... In... Out...

A child's rhyme stuck in my head.
It said that life is but a dream.
I've spent so many years in question
to find I've known this all along.

"So good to see you.
I've missed you so much.
So glad it's over.
I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running?"

Shroud-ing all the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me.
Black as holes within a memory
And blue as our new second sun.
I stick my hand into his shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand.
Which I attempt to reassemble
To see just who I might have been.
I do not recognize the vessel,
But the eyes seem so familiar.
Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing one familiar song...

"So good to see you.
I've missed you so much.
So glad it's over.
I've missed you so much.
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?"

Prying open my third eye.
So good to see you once again.
I thought that you were hiding.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing the tail of dogma.
I opened my eye and there we were.

So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding from me.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing a trail of smoke and reason.

Prying open my third eye

22. Which album is that? Haven't heard that song yet.

I'm a bad fan. I haven't purchased all their albums yet. :)

[bicentennial_baby]

23. Aenima

Last song on the album ... :)

It's a beautiful song... :)

My absolute favorite(s) are Parabol/Parabola, from Lateralus, though...They go together :)

Parabol:

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:

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

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.

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

24. I'll have to get both those albums

I've been remiss in my listening lately. Been busy though, so at least I've got an excuse. :D

[bicentennial_baby]

25. Both are *very* well worth the $$

Trust me on this...They always get stolen from me..and I buy them, again and again... :D

[LeftCoast]

26. That's one advantage to a digital collection. I've got it all backed up.

I've got about 39 GB of music and movies.

[bicentennial_baby]

27. Magnificent!
