I love me some Tool. ( the BAND!!! ) Don't EVEN go there. ;)

But Tool never puts their lyrics in the C.D. liner notes, EVER.
So one must look for them on web sites as well as try personally to 
check the accuracy of same. I'll post some here as I find them and after 
checking to see if I agree with the posited offerings. Well, and if I 
think them interesting enough to post. (all to get some topical traffic 
going)

Here is one pretty good one from the Lateralus C.D. which is getting 
much radio airplay:


  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
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end 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 that 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, and strengthen our communication.

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers/brothers
