Thorn

"Sober" - Tool

Holy sh*t.
Summer.
Freshman year.
A serenade in her ear.
From someone who didn't quite fit.
Who couldn't take no for an answer just yet.
Taking what was once held sacred even more than she can bear.

She did it for you, didn't she?
Spitting out such dirty lyrics.

A playful act taken too seriously.

And in time it was you who feared it.
So in the end it was an unexpected surprise.
That such an innocent flower could have a dark side.

Lyrics:

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 pattern called "must we"
Just because the son has come

Jesus,won't you f@#%ing whistle?
Something but the past and done
Jesus, won't you f@#%ing whistle
Something but the past and done

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this 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

Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
And why?

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


Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
And why?

I want it when I want it
I want it when I want it
I want it when I want it
I want it when I want it
