TOOL; 10,000 DAYS (WINGS PART TWO)
listen to the tales and romanticize. how we would follow the path of the hero. boast about the day when the rivers overrun. how we rise to the height of a halo. listen to the tales as we irrationalize. our way into the arms of the saviour. fading all the trials and the tribulations. none of us have actually been there. not like you. ignorant, flippant from the congregation. gather round spewing sympathy. spare me. none of them can even hold a candle up to you. blinded by choice, these hypocrites. won't see. but enough about the collective judas. who could deny you were the one who would even make it. your little piece of the divine. this little light of mine. this gift you passed onto me. i will let it shine to guide you safely on your way. your way home. what're they going to do when the lights go down? without you to guide them all to Zion? what're they gonna do when the rivers overrun? other than tremble incessantly. high is the way, but our lives end up on the ground. you were the light and the way. that they will only read about. i only pray, heaven knows when to lift you out. ten thousand days in the fire is long enough. you're going home. you're the only one who can hold your head up high. shake your fists at the gates saying: I'VE COME HOME NOW. FETCH ME THE SPIRIT THE SON AND THE FATHER. TELL THEM THEIR PILLAR OF FAITH HAS ASCENDED. IT'S TIME NOW, MY TIME NOW! GIVE ME MY! GIVE ME MY WINGS!! give me my. give me my. give me my. give me my. you are the light, the way they will only read about. set as i am in my ways and my arrogance. burden of truth just to follow believers. you were my witness, my eyes, my evidence, judith marie, unconditional one! daylight dims, leaving cold fluorescence. difficult to see you in this light. please forgive this bold suggestion. should you see your makers face tonight. look him in the eye, look him in the eye, and tell him. i never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one. hallelujah, it's time for you to bring me home.
