Tool - Reflection

I have come curiously close to the end, down

Beneath my self indulgent pitiful hole. Defeated I

Concede and move closer. I may find comfort here

I may find peace within the emptiness. How pitiful.

It's calling me

…

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping.

The moon tells me a secret. My confidant.

'As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own

A million light reflections pass over me'

It's source is bright and endless.

She resuscitates the hopeless

Without her we are lifeless satellites drifting.

And as I pull my head out

I am without one doubt

Don't want to be down here

Soothing my narcissism I

Must crucify the ego

Before it's far too late

I pray the light lifts me out

Before I pine away.

…

So crucify the ego

Before it's far too late

To leave behind this place so

Negative and blind and cynical

And you will come to find

That we are all one mind

Capable of all that's

Imagined and all conceivable

Just let the light touch you

And let the words spill through

Just let them pass right through,

Bringing out our hope and reason.

Before we pine away.

…

=============================

This is one of the greatest albums created. This is without a doubt (in my mind). This album has allowed me to understand and realize my anger and move beyond, and just generally become a better person. Please experience it with me if you haven't already. It's your choice.

I was just revisiting this album and felt like sharing with all of you.

Close your eyes and let it take you. :)

PS. The degraded sound quality in this video really takes away from this piece, it's still worth a listen.
