ATLstudent Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Here are some really inspiring lyrics in my eyes, on the concept of patience....something not often thought about.....and the struggle it can create inside you...so i wanted to share Band is Tool, song is The Patient, and lyrics are written by Maynard James Keenan..enjoy! Oh . . . Oh . . . Oh . . . Oh . . . Oh . . . Oh . . . A groan of tedium escapes me, startling the fearful, is this a Test? It has to be, otherwise I can't go on Draining patience, drain vitality, this paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little Old 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 Gonna wait it out (Be patient) If there were no rewards to reap No loving embrace to see me through This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away By now Gonna wait it out If there were no desire to heal The damaged and broken met along This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away By now And I still may And I still may Be patient Be patient Be patient 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 rewards to reap (I must keep reminding myself of this) No loving embrace to see me through (I must keep reminding myself of this) This tedious path I've chosen here (I must keep reminding myself of this) I certainly would've walked away (I must keep reminding myself of this) By now And I still may And I still may And I still may And I. . . . Gonna wait it out Gonna wait it out Wait it out Gonna wait it out Link to comment

jul-els Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Preach on Reverend Maynard! I haven't listened to these guys in a while but these lyrics are surprisingly more optimistic than his standard fare. What album is it? Link to comment
ATLstudent Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 THe album is Lateralus. The first track is THe Grudge another great one that talks about "lettting GO". Maynards lyrics are really positive on this album Link to comment

Maynards lyrics are really positive on this album That was the album where they lost me. It sounded to me like they abandoned their hooks and got bogged down in technicality. I think maybe I'll go back to it just to check out the lyrics. Thanks! Link to comment
