Schism [Tool - Lateralus]

I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them 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 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 - it 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, 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
doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication.

[cold, cold, cold]

Cold silence has
a tendency to
atrophy any
sense of compassion...

between supposed lovers
between opposed brothers.

I know the pieces fit.

Black Hole Sun [Soundgarden - Superunknown]

In my eyes, indisposed
in disguise as no one knows
hides the face, lies the snake
the sun in my disgrace.

Boiling heat, summer stench
'neath the black the sky looks dead
call my name through the dream
and I'll hear you scream again.

Black hole sun
won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
won't you come
won't you come?

Stuttering, cold and damp
steal the warm wind tired friend
times are gone for honest men
and sometimes far too long for snakes.
In my shoes, a walking sleep
and my youth I pray to keep
Heaven send Hell away
no-one sings like you anymore.

Black hole sun
won't you come
and wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
won't you come
won't you come?

Hang my head, drown my fear
'till you all just disappear.

Black hole sun
won't you come
and wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
won't you come
Won't you come?

Black hole sun
black hole sun
won't you come?

Freak On A Leash [KoRn - Follow The Leader]

Something takes a part of me
something lost and never seen
everytime I start to believe
something's raped and taken from me - from me.

Life's got to always be messing with me. [You wanna see the light]
Can't they chill and let me be free? [So do I]
Can't I take away all this pain. [You wanna see the light]
I try to every night, all in vain - in vain.

Sometimes I cannot take this place
sometimes it's my life I can't taste
sometimes I cannot feel my face
you'll never see me fall from grace.

Something takes a part of me
you and I were meant to be
a cheap fuck for me to lay
something takes a part of me.

Feeling like a freak on a leash. [You wanna see the light]
Feeling like I have no release. [So do I]
How many times have I felt diseased? [You wanna see the light]
Nothing in my life is free - is free.

Sometimes I cannot take this place
sometimes it's my life I can't taste
sometimes I cannot feel my face
you'll never see me fall from grace.

Something takes a part of me
you and I were meant to be
a cheap fuck for me to lay
something takes a part of me.

Boomnada mmm dumnaema
Da boomnada mmm dumnaema
...

Go!

So - fight! Something on the [dum na ema]
Fight - some things they fight
So - something on the [dum na ema]
Fight - some things they fight
Fight - something of the [dum na ema]
No - some things they fight
Fight - something of the [dum na ema]
Fight - some things they fight

Something takes a part of me
you and I were meant to be
a cheap fuck for me to lay
something takes a part of me.

Part of me...

Judith [A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms]

You're such an inspiration for the ways 
that I will never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you 
how the savior has abandoned you
Fuck your God 
your Lord and your Christ 
He did this 
took all you had and left you this way 
Still you pray, you never stray 
never taste of the fruit 
You never thought to question why 

It's not like you killed someone 
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed 
He did it all for you 
He did it all for you 

Oh so many many ways for me to show you 
how your dogma has abandoned you 
Pray to your Christ, to your god 
never taste of the fruit 
never stray, never break 
never choke on a lie 
even though he's the one who did this to you 
You never thought to question why 

Not like you killed someone 
It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side 
Talk to Jesus Christ 
as if he knows the reasons why 
He did it all for you 

Did it all for you 

He did it all for you

some say the end is near
some say we'll see armageddon soon
certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
bullshit three ring circus sideshow of

freaks
here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
the only way to fix it is to flush it all away
any fucking time 
any fucking day

see you down in Arizona bay

fret for your figure and
fret for your latte and
fret for your lawsuit and
fret for your hairpiece and
fret for your prozac and
fret for your pilot and
fret for your contract and
fret for your car
it's a bullshit three ring circus sideshow of

freaks
here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
the only way to fix it is to flush it all away
any fucking time 
any fucking day
learn to swim
see you down in Arizona bay

some say a comet will fall from the sky
followed by meteor showers and tidal waves
followed by faultlines that cannot sit still
followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits

and some say the end is near
some say we'll see armageddon soon
certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit...

fuck your tattoos
fuck all you junkies and
fuck your short memory

learn to swim

fuck smiley glad-hands
with hidden agendas
fuck these dysfunctional, insecure actresses.

I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way
I wanna watch it all go down
mom please flush it all away
I wanna see it go right in down
I wanna watch it go right in
watch you flush it all away

time to bring it down again

don't just call me pessimist

I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change
my friend

I wanna see it come down
