                         LET ME DROWN
stretch the bones over my skin

give up the greed, you dont have to feed me...yeah
give up the fate, you dont have to need me
so let it go, let it go, let it go, wont you let it
drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you
 
slip down the darkness to the mouth
damn the water burn the wine
i'm going home for the very last time
 
so throw it away, you dont have to take me...yeah
make no mistakes i'm what you make me
so let it go, let it go, let it go, wont you let it
drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you 
 
i see you turn around and burning down
the feeling starts to sink
i feel the hurt surround me
please dissolve me
shes resolved to be
 
heal my wounds without a trace
seal my tomb without my face
im going to the lonely place
 
give up to greed, you dont have to feed me...yeah
give up to fate, you dont have to need me
so let it go, let it go, let it go, wont you let it
drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you
                                -let me drown
 
                  MY WAVE
take, if you want a slice
if you want a piece
if it feels alright
 
break, if you like the sound
if it gets you up
if it brings you down
 
share, if it makes you sleep
if it sets you free
if it helps you breathe
 
dont come over here
and piss on my gate
save it just keep it
off my wave
 
cry, if you want to cry
if it helps you see
if it clears your eyes
 
hate, if you want to hate
if it keeps you safe
if it makes you brave
 
pray, if you want to pray
if you like to kneel
if you like to lay
 
don't come over here
and piss on my gate
save it just keep it 
off my wave
 
keep it off my wave
keep it off my wave
keep it off my wave
 
my wave
 
hate, if you want to hate
if it keeps you safe
if it makes you brave
 
take, if you want a slice
if you want a piece
if it feels alright
 
dont come over here
piss on my gate
save it just keep it 
off my wave
 
keep it off my wave
keep it off my wave
 
my wave
           FELL ON BLACK DAYS
 
whatsoever ive feared has
come to life
whatsoever ive fought off
became my life
just when everyday
seemed to greet
me with a smile
sunspots have faded
and now im doing time
cause i fell on
black days
 
whomsoever ive cured
ive sickened now
whomsoever ive cradled
ive put you down
im a search light soul
they say but i cant
see it in the night
im only faking
when i get it right
cause i fell on
black days
how would i know
that this could be
my fate
 
so what you wanted to
see good has made you blind
and what you wanted to
be yours has made it
mine
so dont you lock up
something that you
wanted to see fly
hands are for shaking
 
i sure dont
mind a change
but i fell on black
days
how would i know
that this could be
my fate
 
          MAILMAN
 
hello dont you know me
im the dirt beneath your feet
the most important fool you forgot to see
ive seen how you give it
now i want to receive
i know that you
would do the same for me
 
i know im headed for the bottom
but im riding you all the way
 
for all of your kisses turned
to spit in my face
for all that reminds me
which is my place
for all of the times when
you made me dissappear
this time im sure you will
know that im here
 
i know im headed for the bottom
but im riding you all the way
 
my place was beneath you
but now im above
and now i send you a message
of love
a simple reminder of what
you wont see
a future so holy without me
 
i know im headed for the bottom
but im riding you all the way
 
         SUPERUNKNOWN
if this isnt what you see
it doesnt make you blind
if this doesnt make you feel
it doesnt mean youve died
where the rivers high
where the rivers high
 
if you dont want to be seen
you dont have to hide
if you dont want to beleve
you dont have to try
to feel alive
 
alive in the superunknown
first it steals your mind
and then it steals your soul
 
if this doesnt make you free
it doesnt mean youre tied
if this doesnt take you down
it doesnt mean youre high
if this doesnt make you smile
you dont have to cry
if this isnt making sense
it doesnt make it lies
 
alive in the superunknown
first it steals your mind
and then it steals your soul
 
get yourself afraid
get yourself alone
get yourself contained
get yourself control
 
alive in the superunknown
 
first it steals your mind
and then it steals your soul
 
     HEAD DOWN
we see you laugh
we see you dance
we take that away
every day
 
we see you cry
we turn your head
then we slap your face
 
we see you try
we see you fail
some things never change
 
we hear you cry
we hear you wail
we steal that smile from your face
 
bow down to live
your life
 
head down, hide that smile
head high got to smile
head high like a song you like
 
        LIMO WRECH
tears of the feeble
hands of the slaves
skin of the mothers
mouths of the babes
building the towers
belongs to the sky
when the whole thing
comes crashing down
dont ask me why
 
under the shelf
the shelf of the sky
two eyes, two suns
too heavenly blinds
swallowing rivers
belongs to the sea
when the whole thing washes away
dont run to me
 
ill be going down
for the rest of the slide
while the rest of you
harvest the gold
 
and the wreck of you
is the death of you all
and the wreck of you
is the break
and the fall
im the wreck of you
im the death of you all
im the wreck of you
im the break and the fall
 
under the red
break of the lights
heroes in the stretches
inch to the site
blowing the pieces
belong to the wind
 
when the whole thing
blows away
i wont pretend
 
ill be going down
for the rest of the slide
while the rest of you
harvest the souls
 
and the wreck of you
is the death of you all
and the wreck of you
is the break
and the fall
im the wreck of you
im the death of you all
im the wreck of you
im the break and the fall
 
behind the blood red break of the
lights
lies the wreck of you for the rest
of your life
 
and the wreck of you
is the death of you all
and the wreck of you
is the break
and the fall
im the wreck of you
im the death of you all
im the wreck of you
im the break and the fall
 
  THE DAY I TRIED TO LIVE
i woke the same as any other day
except a voice was in my head
it said sieze the day, pull the trigger,
drop the blade
and watch the rolling heads
 
the day i tried to live
i stole a thousand begger's change
and gave it to the rich
 
the day i tried to win
i dangled from the power lines
and let the martyrs streatch
singing
 
one more time around
might do it
one more time around
might make it
one more time around
might do it
one more time around
the day i tried to live
 
words you say never seem
to live up to the ones
inside your head
the lives we make
never seem to ever get us anywhere
but dead
 
the day i tried to live
i wallowed in the blood and mud with 
all the other pigs
 
i woke the same as any other day you know
i should have stayed in bed
 
the day i tried to win
i wallowed in the blood and mud with
all the other pigs
 
and i learned that i was a liar
just like you
 
         KICKSTAND
kickstand, you got loose and i threw up
kickstand, you got the juice to fill my cup
my mother says that its alright
my mother says thats the only life
 
so do it right
do it right
come stand me up
come stand me up
 
kickstand, i got saddle made of leather
kickstand, i got the words to come together
i got the urge to ride your trike
my mother says thats the only life
 
         FRESH TENDRILS
long time coming
it seems to take me through
long time coming
many served the few
and long to taste the shame
that bows down before you
 
long time coming
it seemed to get me by
long time coming
it seemed to satisfy
you longed to taste the shame
that everybody tries
 
shame shame
throw yourself away
give me little bits of
more than i can take
if it sits upon your tongue
or naked in your eyes
give me little bits of
more than i can try
 
long time coming
it seems to take me through
long time coming
many served the few
and long to taste the shame
that bows down before you
 
shame shame
throw yourself away
give me little bits of
more than i can take
if it sits upon your tongue
or naked in your eyes
give me little bits of
more than i can try
 
    4TH OF JULY
shower in the dark day
clean sparks diving down
cool in the waterway
where the baptized drown
naked in the cold sun
breathing life like fire
thought i was the only one
but that was just a lie
 
cause i heard it in the wind
and i saw it in the sky
and i thought it was the end
i thought it was the 4th of july
 
pale in the flare light
the scared light cracks and disappears
and leads the scorched ones here
and everywhere no one cares
the fire is spreading
and no one wants to speak about it
down in the hole
jesus tries to crack a smile
beneath another shovel load
 
and i heard it in the wind
and i saw it in the sky
and i thought it was  end
thought it was the 4th of july
 
now im in control
now im in the fall out
once asleep but now i stand
and i still remember
your sweet everything
light a roman candle
and hold it in your hand
 
cause i heard it in the wind
and i saw it in the sky
and i thought it was the end
i thought it was the 4th of july
 
       LIKE SUICIDE
heard it from another room
eyes were waking up just to fall asleep
loves like suicide
dazed out in a garden bed
with a broken neck lays my broken gift
just like suicide
 
and my last ditch
was my last brick
left to finish her
finish her
 
bit down on the bullet now
i had a taste so sour
i had to think of something sweet
loves like suicide
safe outside my gilded cage
with an ounce of pain
i wield a ton of rage 
just like suicide
 
with eyes of blood
and bitter blue
how i feel for you
i feel for you
 
she lived like a murder
how shed fly so sweetly
she lived like a murder
but she died
just like suicide
-- 
"If I let you, you would make me destroy myself. In order to survive you, 
i must first survive myself. and I can sink no further...and i cannot 
forgive you."... "I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain. 
I'll use my mistakes against you. there's no other choice." - Tool
