tool:vicarious

Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be

Like:
"Killed by the husband" ...
"Drowned by the ocean" ...
"Shot by his own son" ...
"She used a poison in his tea,
Then (she) kissed him goodbye"
That's my kind of story
It's no fun til someone dies.

Don't look me at like I am a monster
Frown out your one face, but with the other (you)
Stare like a junkie into the TV
Stare like a zombie while the mother holds her child,
Watches him die,
Hands to the sky cryin "why, oh why?"

Cause I need to watch things die from a distance
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
You all need it too - don't lie.

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'
Neither the brave nor bold
Nor brightest of stories told
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'
I need to watch things die from a good safe distance
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain fallin' down
Drum on grave and ground

Part vampire, part warrior,
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal.
Sing to the death rattle.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie (x4)

Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men.
But pull your head on out (of) your hippie haze
And give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again

The universe is hostile
So impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is, so it's always been ...

We all feed on tragedy.
It's like blood to a vampire.

Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I.

@Akutenshi1990 for vicarious, i would put it in the matrix. shism for the crazies. jambi for RE afterlife rosseta stoned for star trek. aenema for book of eli and lateralus for predators.

[Akutenshi1990]

@metalmanky306 ok video's been uploaded

[metalmanky306]

@Akutenshi1990 well you could use clips from all of them. but out of those the only one that appears to have enough deep thinking behind it to do tool any justice would be the matrix (imo) but it really depends on the context of what song and which clips you use...

[Akutenshi1990]

@metalmanky306 hey got a question, i'm gonna put a tool song into a video, should i use The Crazies, Book of Eli, Star Trek (2009), The Matrix, Predators, or RE:Afterlife.

[metalmanky306]

@Akutenshi1990 no problem :)

[Akutenshi1990]

@metalmanky306 oh, as they say, you learn something new every day. thanks for the info!

[metalmanky306]

@Akutenshi1990 that's maynard james keenan you're talking about. formed apc with members of nin and also a band called puscifer. he also was in a side project of nin called tapeworm, they originally wrote the song that became apc's passive and was then called vacant but they never got past the studio cause of conflicts between maynard and trent reznor's respective labels :)

[Akutenshi1990]

Tool was one of the only good rock bands that could ever exist, by the way did you guys know that the song writer for this group worked as a song writer for other groups such as nine inch nails and A Perfect Circle (formed APC) billy Hornell or some name like that, need to look him up again bleh.
