Undertow

The brilliance that is the band 'Tool'.

A little ditty about whether or not you choose to live in the 'matrix'..



Undertow

two times down

I've been struck dumb by your scent
speaks from deep beneath the endless water
twice as clear as heaven
twice as loud as reason
deep and rich like silt on a riverbed
just as neverending

currents mouth below me
opens up around me
suggests and beckons all while swallowing
surrounds and drowns and swept me away

but I'm so comfortable... so comfortable

shut up, shut up, shut up
shut up, you're saturating me
how can I let this bring me back to my knees?

third time in

I've been baptized by your scent
screams from deep beneath the cold black water
half as high as heaven
half as clear as reason
deep and black like silt on a riverbed
deep and neverending

currents mouth below me
opens up around me
suggests and beckons all while swallowing
surrounds and drowns and swept me away

but I'm so comfortable... too comfortable

shut up, shut up, shut up
shut up, you're saturating me
how can I let this happen?
why don't you kill me?
I am weak and numb and insignificant
how can I let this bring me back to my knees?

Eu-phor-i-a.. Eu-phor-i-a.. Eu-phor-i-a.. Eu-phor-i-a..

I'm back down
I'm in the undertow

I'm helpless and I'm awake
I'm in the undertow

Will I die beneath the undertow?
There doesn't seem no other way out of the undertow

Eu.... phor.... i.... a....
