i wrote this poem shortly after i began to really delve into Tool, expressing my shift in thoughts. most people have told me to cheer up, but it was pure euphoria that inspired my thoughts! but i will say no more... interpret as you will, and share your thoughts.
** MIRROR **
by: joel land (yeah, that's me)
bear this labored sadness as you do your lies, mirror
hate it and lacerate, then weep fresh and fake tears
wear this veil of suffering for your crude distorted body, mirror
just because you don't know what you see looking out at me
but you don it for the other side, not for my side
and a billion setting suns is as clear to me why
if you could look into yourself, mirror, into and through to me
and if you could hold onto that image and fall in, join in with me
then you could forget about the other side and the lies
throw them away and die
only then will you see why you were always just a copy
wavelengths of deception
