Tool:THEpatient
a groan of tedium escapes me. startling the fearful. is this a test? it has to be. otherwise i can't go on. draining patience, drain vitality. this paranoid, paralyzed vampire acts a little old. but i'm still right here. giving blood, keeping faith. and i'm still right here. wait it out. gonna wait it out. be patient. if there were no reward to reap. no loving embrace to see me through. this tedious path i've chosen here. certainly would have walked away. by now. gonna wait it out. if there were no desire to heal. the damaged and broken met along. this tedious path i've chosen here. i certainly would have walked away. by now. and i still may. be patient. must keep reminding myself of this. i must keep reminding myself of this. if there were no reward to reap. no loving embrace to see me through. this tedious path i've chosen here. i certainly would have walked away. by now, and i still may. gonna wait it out.
TOOL:THIRDeye
...think for yourself, question authority... dreaming of that face again. it's bright and blue and shimmering. grinning wide and comforting me with his 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. a child's rhyme stuck in my head. saying life is but a dream. spent so many years in question. but 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're you running away. came out to watch you play. why're you running. shrouding all the ground around me. is this holy crow above me. black as holes within a memory. blue as our new second sun. stick my hand into the shadow. pull the pieces from the sand. try an attempt to reassemble. to see just who i might've 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. i'm so glad it's over. i've missed you so much. came out to watch you play. why're you running away. came out to watch you play. why're you running away? PRYING OPEN MY THIRD EYE! so good to see you once again. i thought that you were hiding. you thought that i had run away. chasing the tail of dogma. open my eye. open my eye. so good to see you once again. i thought that you were hiding from me. you thought that i had run away. chasing the trail of smoke and reason. PRYING OPEN MY THIRD EYE!

SPIRAL OUT. KEEP GOING.
