Next tool album

Sent one back to you.

The lyrics!

[Eye on / I own] the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor
It happens to be

Like:
"Killed by the husband"
"Drowned by the ocean"
"Shot by his own son"
"She used the poison in his tea
[and / he] kissed [him / her] goodbye"
That's my kind of story
It's no fun til someone dies

Don't look me at like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother, holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky cryin,
"Why, oh why?"

Cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies
You all need it too - don't lie.

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'
Neither the brave nor bold
Will write us the story so
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'

I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so
Why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain fallin' down
[Drown on grave and ground / ?? grave ??]

Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Still have the
[transmittal, sing / transmitter, sing / trance, mental sync]
to the death rattle

La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie (x4)

[Incredulous / Credulous] at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men.
But pull your head on out
[Your head please / ??] and give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again

The universe is hostile
So impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is, so it's always been ...

We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I.
 
I liked the song a lot. Its like "the grudge, feat. meshuggah" or Meshuggah playing tool. And that is a GOOD thing for me.
 
^Definitely. I dont think I've heard another song in the last 48 hrs. Its just this on repeat. I need to get a life.
 
^ Same here. :beer: And i praise these kickass headphones that i have. (Superb bass boost, and ultra clear at ridiculously high volumes :grin: )

I'm looking forward to the chinese/buddhist influences on other songs. (there was some of it in this song though).
 
I don't know what chinese/buddhist influences you're talking about, but the song rocks. I cant wait for the rest of the album.

On a side note, have you tried to transfer the song onto an mp3 player? Mine doesnt play it!! For some weird reason!! Its playing everything else.
 
^ I can bet the electronic drums that danny uses for some time in that song are going to kick major arse in other songs. And they are going to sound chinese/buddhist. I had a link for those drums, but i lost it. :(


ps: I dont have an mp3 player or an i-pod so i would know..
 
Oh, ok. And yeah, the electronic drums, heard about that. Don't think I specially made them out though. Let me have another listen :p:
 
Its leaked!! I'm getting it right now and I'll up it again but give me a few hours. PM me for it
