Tool "Sober" Lyrics
Undertow (1992-1993)

Theres a shadow just behind me,
shrouding every step I take,
making every promise empty,
pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler
who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path called "must we"
just before the son has come.
Jesus, wont you fucking whistle
something but the past and done?
Jesus, wont you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?

Why cant we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why cant we drink forever.
I just want to start this over.

I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
just enough to bring you down.
Mother Mary wont you whisper
something but the past and done.
Mother Mary wont you whisper
something but the past and done.

Why cant we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why cant we sleep forever.
I just want to start this over.

I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,

Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. Trust Me.

Why cant we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why cant we sleep forever.
I just want to start this over.

I want what I want.
I want what I want.
I want what I want.
I want what I want.
