Lateralus


The Grudge

Wear the grudge like a crown, of negativity
Calculate what we will, will not tolerate
Desperate to control, all and everything
Unable to forgive these scarlet lettermen

Clutch it like a cornerstone
Otherwise it all comes down
Justified denials and
Grip 'em to the lonesome end
Clutch it like a cornerstrone
Otherwise it all comes down
Terrified of being alone
Ultimatum prison cell

Saturn ascends, choose one or ten

I'm born again
I'm born again

Clutch it like a cornerstone
Otherwise it all comes down
Justified denials and
Grip 'em to the lonesome end

Saturn ascends, comes 'round again
Saturn ascends, the one, the ten
Ignorant to the damage done

Wear the grudge like a crown, of negativity
Calculate what we will, will not tolerate
Desperate to control, all and everything
Unable to forgive these scarlet lettermen

Wear the grudge like a crown
Desperate to control
Unable to forgive
And sinkin' deeper

Definin'
Confinin'
Sinkin' Deeper
Controllin'
Definin'
And we're sinkin' deeper

Saturn comes back around
Shows you everything
Lets you choose what you will, will not see and then
Hold you down lets you choke
Lifts you up again
Spit you out like a child
Light and innocent

Saturn comes back around
Lifts you up like a child
Drags you down and chokes you
Shows you, tells you
Choose to, let this go
Choose to, let this go

Give away the stone
Let the ocean take and trance
Let you take, this cold and faded anger
Give away the stone
Let the waters kiss and caress
You turn these linen grudges into gold

<Yells>

Let go, let go, let go....

The Patient

A groan of tedium escapes me
Startling, fearful
Is this a test?
It has to be
Otherwise I can't go on

Draining patience
Pain bites
I don't need this paranoid, paralyzed vampire
Acts a little low

But I'm still right here
Givin' blood
Keepin' faith
And I'm still right here

But I'm still right here
Givin' blood
Keepin' faith
And I'm still right here

Wait it out
Gonna wait it out
Wait it out (Be patient)

If there were no rewards to reap
Loving embrace to see me through
Tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would have walked away by now

Gonna wait it out

If there were no desire to heal
The damaged and broken met along
Tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would have walked away by now

<Whispering> And I still may
<Sighs>
<Whispering> I still may

Be patient
Be patient
Be patient

I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
If there were no desire to reap
Loving embrace to see me through
Tedious have I chosen here
I certainly would have walked away by now

And I still may
And I still may

Gonna wait it out
Gonna wait it out
Wait it out
Gonna wait it out

Schism

I know the pieces fit
Cuz I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering
Fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed
Will set two lovers souls in motion
Celebrating as it grows
Testing our communication

The light that fuels the fire within
Has burnt a hole between us so
We cannot see through each amend
Crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit
Cuz I watched them tumble down
No fault
None to blame
It doesn't mean I don't desire
To point the finger
Blame the other
Watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together
Rediscover communication

The poetry that comes
From the squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time when the pieces fit
But I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering
Strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know
The dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow
Strengthen our communication

Cold silence has
A tendency to
Atrophy any sense of compassion

Between supposed lovers
Between supposed lovers

I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit


Parabol

So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one
This form I hold now

Embracing you
This reality here
This one
This form I hold now
So wild and hopeful

Wild and hopefully wild
We barely remember what came before
This precious moment
Choosing to be here
Right now
Hold on
Stay inside
This body
Holding me
Reminded me that I am not alone
In this body
This body makes me feel eternal
All this pain is an illusion


Parabola

We barely remember who or what came before
This precious moment
Choosing to be here
Right now
Hold on
Stay inside
This holy reality
This holy experience
Choosing to be here in
This body
This body holding me
Hereby reminding me that I am not alone
In this body
This body holding me
Feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion

Alive

In this holy reality
In this holy experience
Choosing to be here in this body
This body holding me
Hereby reminding me that I am not alone
In this body
This body holding me
Feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion

Twirling 'round with this familiar parabol
Spinning, weaving 'round each new experience
Recognize this as a holy gift and
Celebrate this chance to be alive and breathin'
A chance to be alive and breathin'

This body holding me
Reminds me of my own mortality
Embrace this moment
Remember
We are eternal
All this pain is an illusion


Ticks and Leeches

Suck and suck

Suck it up boy
You can suck it up
Boy you can suck and suck and
Workin' up all in my patience
Like a little tick
Fat little parasite

Suck me dry
My blood is bruised and borrowed
You thievin' bastards you have
Sucked till I'm cold and bitter
Bleed my compassion black and blue

Hope this is what you wanted
Hope this is what you had in mind
Hope this is what you wanted
Cuz this is what you're getting

I hope you choke on
I hope you choke on me
I hope you choke on
I hope you choke on me

Takin' all you can take and
All you can take and take
Takin' all you can take and
All you can take and take
Got nothin' left to give to you

Suck it
Parasitic little tick
Suck it
Parasitic little bug
Suck it
Parasitic little tick
Take what you want and then go

Hope this is what you wanted
Hope this is what you had in mind
Cuz this is what you're getting

Suck me dry
Suck, suck me dry
Suckin' me dry
Suck
Suck me dry

Is this what you wanted
Is this what you had in mind
Is this what you wanted
Cuz this is what you're getting

I hope
I hope
I hope you choke


Lateralus

Black then white are
All I see
In my infancy
Red and yellow then came to be
Reachin' out to me
Lets me see

As below so above and beyond
I imagine
Drawn beyond the lines of reason
Push the envelope
Watch it bend

Overthinking
Overanalyzing
Seperates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition
Missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment
Drawing way outside the lines

Black then white are all I see
In my infancy
Red and yellow then came to be
Reachin' out to me
Let's me see
There is so much that beckons me
To look through to these infinite possibilities

As below so above and beyond
I imagine
Drawn outside the lines of reason
Push the envelope
Watch it bend

Overthinking
Overanalyzing
Seperates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition
Leaving opportunities behind

Feed my will to feel this moment
Urging me to cross the line
Reaching up to embrace the rhythm
Reaching out to embrace what heaven may come

I embrace my desire to
I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm
To
Feel connected
Enough to step aside and
Weep like a widow
To
Feel inspired
To
Fathom the power
To
Feel inspired
To
Witness the beauty
To
Bathe in the fountain
To
Swing on the spiral
To
Swing on the spiral
To

Swing on the spiral
Of our divinity
And still be human

With my feet upon the ground
I lose myself between the sounds and
Open wide to suck it in
I feel it move across my skin
I'm reachin' up
And reachin' out
I'm reachin for the rhythm for
What heaven will be willed of me
What heaven will be willed of me
And following our will and wind
We may just go where no one's been
We'll ride the spiral to the end
We may just go where no one's been

Spiral out
Keep going
Spiral out
Keep going
Spiral out
Keep going
Spiral out
Keep going

I tanscribed these lyrics myself, and as such I'm really quite sure there are several mistakes along the way. I just wanted to actually write at least one out and not do it the cheap way, so if anyone has corrections then send them on to XxTHeHiPPoxX and they'll be corrected. Thanks.
