I saw the gap again today,
While you were begging me to stay,
Take care not to make me enter,
If i do we both may disappear,
you know that I will choke until I swallow
Choke this infant here before me,
What is this but my reflection?
Who am I to judge or strike you down?
But, you're pushing and shoving me,
You still love me, you pushit on me.

Rest your trigger on my finger,
Bang my head upon the fault line,
You'd better take care not to make me enter,
'Cause if I do, we both may disappear,
But, you're pushing and shoving me,
You still love me, you pushit on me
You're pushing and, shoving me,

I'm slipping back into the gap again,
I'm alive when you're touching me,
Alive when you're shoving me down,
But I'd trade it all
For just a little
Piece of mind.
Pushit on me
You're pushing,
and shoving,
and scrambling,
keep my feet flat on the ground.

I am somewhere I don't wanna be,
Push me somewhere I don't wanna be.
Put me somewhere I don't wanna be,
Seeing someplace I don't wanna see,
Never wanna see that place again.

Saw the gap again today,
While you were begging me to stay,
Managed to push myself away,
And you, as well my dear.

If, when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay,
You minimize my movement anyway,
I must persuade you another way.

Pushing and shoving, and pushing me
There's no love in fear.
I'm staring down the hole again.
Hands are on my back again.
Survival is my only friend.
Terrified of what may come.
Remember I will always love you,
As i claw your fucking throat away.
It will end no other way.

these lyrics are the spawn of a masterful mind in maynard. this guy is so fuckin unbelieveable that its impossible to comprehend what he is thinkin. and his expression of those feelings make his music ungodly amazing and breath taking like this track here

Remember that Tool isn't a solo project created by Maynard James Keenan...after all the music is not written by him alone and that underlines the others musical influence in this matter...lyrics is NOT all...

this could quite possibly be my favorite song of all time...and that says alot. this song has a way of appealing to both my hardcore and my sappy soft side all at the same time; i dont believe i could get tired of listening to all 10 minutes of it no matter how many times it is played. some may say this is a song about drugs but who knows? to me it means something else, which is true of any well written and beautifully composed song. dont take my word for it, have a listen and see if it draws you in as much as it has me;)!

This is one of those 'too good to be true' songs. This is so incredible. The music awesome and Maynard's voice/words are mesmerizing. This is one of the most heart-felt songs ever to be made. Salival's version is also too good to be true. It's all good.

When I heard this I thought "Tool, nor any other band can not make a better song than this" ... then I heard the Salival version of the song

Awesome song, great lyrics. smooth sound. perfect progression. i also found a video on kazaa of this live and a fan gets up trying to mosh wiht maynard. Maynard flips him on the ground and keeps him in a headlock while singing until the song is over. Can you get more awesome than that? I'd love to see it happen to blink182 or something 10$ says they'd cry.

This song is the best off the album and in my opinion the best track they've ever done...whether studio or live this song is so much more than anything else I've ever heard...pure fucking perfection.

This is song kicks so much fuckin ass it's unbelievable. the last part where he sings "If, when i say might fade like a sigh if i stay..." is fuckin incredible all the way to the end.

Third best Tool song, simply because of the last 2 and a half minutes.

this song is damn evil, it's like satan went into my ear and took a dump. Interesting fact! I like to write down the last three lines of this song in bathroom stalls across Canada to freak people out. I have no life... ;p

This might be my favorite Tool song. Such a violent compilation of anger and sadness; Maynard's lyrical prowess is incredible. I'd like to say it hits close to home but, there's probably more than one person that would enjoy ripping MY throat out. lol.

When I listen to this I feel like he's in love with someone that is abusing him.

I'm alive when you're touching me,
Alive when you're shoving me down

It's crazy looking at this album and listening to it.
