Sober (1993) Lyrics & Chords By Tool

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 path called "must we"
just because the son has come.
jesus won't you fucking whistle
something but the past and done?
jesus won't you fucking whistle
something but the past and done?
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 things over.
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.
Mother mary won't you whisper
something but what's past and done.
mother mary won't you whisper
something but what's past and done.
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 things over.
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.
trudt me.
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 things over.
I want what i want.
