Tool:Wings For Marie (Pt 1)
From LyricWiki
This song is performed by Tool and appears on the album 10,000 Days (2006).
You...
You believed...
You believed in moments not conceived
You believed in me
A passionate spirit
Uncompromised
Boundless and open
A light in your eyes
Then immobilized
Broken
Fell at the hands of those movements that I wouldn't see
Yet it was you who prayed for me
So what have I done
To be a son to an angel?
What have I done
To be worthy?
Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescents
Difficult to see you in this light
Please forgive this selfish question, but
What am I to say to all these ghouls tonight?
"She never told a lie,
... Well might have told a lie,
But never lived one.
Didn't have a life,
Didn't have a life,
But surely saved one."
See? I'm alright
Now it's time for us to let you go
You believed...
You believed in moments not conceived
You believed in me
A passionate spirit
Uncompromised
Boundless and open
A light in your eyes
Then immobilized
Broken
Fell at the hands of those movements that I wouldn't see
Yet it was you who prayed for me
So what have I done
To be a son to an angel?
What have I done
To be worthy?
Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescents
Difficult to see you in this light
Please forgive this selfish question, but
What am I to say to all these ghouls tonight?
"She never told a lie,
... Well might have told a lie,
But never lived one.
Didn't have a life,
Didn't have a life,
But surely saved one."
See? I'm alright
Now it's time for us to let you go
