Tool — Sober

[Verse 1] There's 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 pattern, must we Just because the son has come [Pre-Chorus] Jesus, won't you fucking whistle Something but the past and done? Jesus, won't you fucking whistle Something but the past and done? [Chorus] Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start this over Why can't we drink forever? I just want to start this over [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Mother Mary, won't you whisper Something but the past and done? Mother Mary, won't you whisper Something but the past and done? [Chorus] Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start this over Why can't we sleep forever? I just want to start this over [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start things over Why can't we sleep forever? I just want to start this over [Outro] I want what I want I want what I want I want what I want I want what I want
