Tool - Opiate (2000) by Tool (보컬) on maniadb.com

I'm sweating,
and breathing
and staring and thinking
and sinking
deeper.
It's almost like I'm swimming.

The sun is burning hot again
on the hunter
and the fisherman,
and he's trying to remember when,
but it makes him dizzy.

Seems like I've been here before.
Seems so familiar.
Seems like I'm slipping
into a dream within a dream.

Must be the way you whisper.

The sun is setting cool again.
I'm the thinker
and the fisherman
and I'm trying to remember when
but it makes me dizzy.
and I'm sweating,
and breathing,
and staring and thinking
and sinking
deeper
and it's almost like I'm swimming.

Seems like I've been here before.
Seems so familiar.
Seems like I'm slipping
into a dream within a dream.
It's the way you whisper.
It drags me under
and takes me home.

Fuck You!
I can't say what I want to,
even if I'm not serious.
I can't say what I want to,
even if I'm not serious.
Things like....
"Fuck yourself, fuck yourself
you piece of shit why don't you just kill yourself?!"
I can't say what I want to,
even if I'm not serious.
I can't say what I want to,
even if.. I'M JUST KIDDING!

People tell me what to say,
what to think ,
and what to play.

I say...
"Yeah well, go fuck yourself, fuck yourself
you piece of shit.
Why don't you go kill yourself?"
I can't say what I want to,
even if I'm not serious.
I can't say what I want to,
even if.. I'M JUST KIDDING!

"Fuck yourself, fuck yourself,
you piece of shit."

People tell me what to say,
what to think ,
and what to play.
Just kidding.

I know you well.
you are a part of me.
I know you better than I know myself.
I know you best,
better than anyone.
I know you better than I know myself.

You are a part of me.

You are just a part of me,
You are just a part of me,
You are just a part of me,
You are just a part of me.

Give it up

You don't speak.
You don't judge.
You can't leave.
You can't hurt me.
You're just here for me to use.

I know you well.
you are a part of me.
I know you better than I know myself.
I know you best,
better than anyone.
I know you better than I know myself.

I know you well,
better than one might think.
I know you better than I know myself.

I know you well.
you are a part of me.
I know you best,
better than anyone.
I know you well,
you are a part of me.
I know you best,
better than one might think.

It's time for you
to make a sacrifice.
It's time to die a little.
Give it up.

I know you best,
better than anyone.
I know you better than I know myself.

A part of me.

Underneath her skin and jewelry,
hidden in her words and eyes
is a wall that's cold and ugly
and she's scared as hell.
Trembling at the thought of feeling.
Wide awake and keeping distance.
Nothing seems to penetrate her.
She's scared as hell.


I am frightened too.

Wide awake
and keeping distance from my soul.
I am scared like you.

* Used to be a bunch of assholes that lived in this part of the building, here...But we systematically removed them like you would any kind of termite or roach * **spoken prelude**

Someone told me once
that there's a right and wrong
punishment was cure
to those who dare to cross the line.
But it must not be true
for jerk-offs just like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.
but I'm tired of waiting.

and maybe it's just bullshit
I should play god
and shoot you myself.
tired of waiting.

Consequences dictate
course of action
and it doesn't matter what's right
It's only wrong if you get caught.
If consequences dictate
my course of action i should
I should play god
and just shoot you myself.
tired of waiting.

(die now)? **confirmed, but is whispered in background.**

shoot it
kick it
fuck it
shoot you in your fucking head.

**note: these are the lyrics sung on record. stage versions contain countless variations, and Maynard's original transcripts posted online are different again.**

Choices always were a problem for you
What you need is someone strong to guide you

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
What you need is someone strong to guide you...
Like me
Like me
Like me

If you want to get your soul to heaven
Trust in me, now don't you judge or question
You are broken now, but faith can heal you
Just do everything i tell you to do

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
What you need is someone strong to guide you
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
Let me lay my holy hand a, hand upon you


My god's will
Becomes me
When he speaks
He speaks through me
He has needs
Like i do
We both want
To rape you

Jesus christ, why don't you come save my life, now
Open my eyes, blind me with your light, now
Jesus christ, why don't you come save my life, now
Open my eyes, blind me with your light, now

If you want to get your soul to heaven
Trust in me, now don't you judge or question
You are broken now, but faith can heal you
Just do everything i tell you to do

Open my eyes, blind me with your light, now
Jesus christ, why don't you come save my life, now
Open my eyes, blind me with your light, now

My god's will
Becomes me
When he speaks
He speaks through me
He has needs
Like i do
We both want
To rape you!
