Embed: And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor: go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your CD's and burn em'. 'Cause you know what? The musicians who've made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years... were rrrrrrrrrrrrreal fuckin' high on drugs."

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to

a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.

There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination
of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather."
"It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom. Keep that in mind at all
times."

Dreaming of that face again.
It's bright and blue and shimmering.
Grinning wide
And comforting me with it's 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.
In... Out... In... Out... In... Out...
A child's rhyme stuck in my head.

It said that life is but a dream.
I've spent so many years in question
to find 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 are you running away?
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?"
Shroud-ing all the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me.
Black as holes within a memory
And blue as our new second sun.
I stick my hand into his shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand.
Which I attempt to reassemble
To see just who I might have 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.
So glad it's over.
I've missed you so much.
Came out to watch you play.

Why are you running away?
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?"
Prying open my third eye.

Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
So good to see you once again.

I thought that you were hiding.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing the tail of dogma.
I opened my eye and there we were.
So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding from me.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing a trail of smoke and reason.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.Lyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Third Eye Lyrics

"See, I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do.
And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor: go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your CD's and burn em'. 'Cause you know what? The musicians who've made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years... were rrrrrrrrrrrrreal fuckin' high on drugs."

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to

a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.

There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination
of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather."
"It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom. Keep that in mind at all
times."

Dreaming of that face again.
It's bright and blue and shimmering.
Grinning wide
And comforting me with it's 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.
In... Out... In... Out... In... Out...
A child's rhyme stuck in my head.

It said that life is but a dream.
I've spent so many years in question
to find 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 are you running away?
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?"
Shroud-ing all the ground around me

Black as holes within a memory
And blue as our new second sun.
I stick my hand into his shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand.

To see just who I might have been.

Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?"
Prying open my third eye.

Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
So good to see you once again.

I thought that you were hiding.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing the tail of dogma.

Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.

Lyrics provided by LyricsEver.com

Formed around 1990 in Los Angeles, California, United States, by drummer Danny Carey, guitarist Adam Jones, vocalist Maynard James Keenan, and original bassist Paul D'Amour, Tool is a band that is most noted for combining alternative metal with a wide variety of progressive structures, irregular time signatures and lyrics that range from angry diatribes to meditations on philosophical and social matters.

After performing a handful of shows in the Los Angeles area and up the West Coast, they toured in the United States with Primus in the summer of 1992 in support of their EP Opiate. Their first full length recording, Undertow, was released in 1993.

Emerging with a groovy heavy industrial sound on their first release, when the genre was dominated by post-punk, they were later seen at the top of the industrial metal movement with the release of their second full-length studio album Ænima in 1996, the first recording the band made after original bassist Paul D’Amour left the band, replaced by Justin Chancellor. After an ongoing evolution of their sound and continuous efforts to unify musical experimentation, visual arts, and a message of personal evolution on Lateralus (2001), their most recent album 10,000 Days (2006), as well as respective tours, they are generally described as a style-transgressing act and part of progressive and art rock.

Their aspirational work features exceptionally long or complex releases, controversial lyrics and cover art, and unorthodox music videos, which results in a rather ambivalent relationship between the band and today’s music industry, at times marked by censorship, and the band’s ongoing struggle for privacy.

Nevertheless, Tool has won Grammy Awards and continues to perform worldwide and receive critical acclaim. Lateralus and 10,000 Days both debuted number one on the US Billboard 200 as well as topping the charts in numerous other countries. Between album releases, the band takes extended breaks that allow for collaboration with other artists in designing award-winning album packaging, the creation of elaborate light shows, and band member involvement in notable side-projects.

They currently have 6 major releases:
Opiate (1992)
Undertow (1993)
Ænima (1996)
Salival (Live) (2000)
Lateralus (2001)
10,000 Days (2006).
