Tool - Third Eye Lyrics
Think for yourself. Question authority. Throughout human history as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are or where we are going in this ocean of chance, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality.To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself.Dreaming of that face againIt's bright and blue and shimmeringGrinning wideAnd comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyesOn my back and tumblingDown that hole and back againRising upAnd wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eyeIn...out...in...outA child's rhyme stuck in my headIt said that life is but a dreamI've spent so many years in questionTo find I've known this all alongSo good to see youI've missed you so muchSo glad it's overI've missed you so muchCame out to watch you playWhy are you running away?Shrouding all the ground around meIs this holy crow above meBlack as holes within a memoryAnd blue as our new second sunI stick my hand into his shadowTo pull the pieces from the sandWhich I attempt to reassembleTo see just who I might have beenI do not recognize the vessel,But the eyes seem so familiarLike phosphorescent desert buttonsSinging on familiar song...So good to see youI've missed you so muchSo glad it's overI've missed you so muchCame out to watch you playWhy are you running away?Prying open my third eyeSo good to see you once againI thought that you were hidingAnd you thought that I had run awayChasing the tail of dogmaI opened my eye and there we wereSo good to see you once againI thought that you were hiding from meAnd you thought that I had run awayChasing a trail of smoke and reasonPrying open my third eye
