Lyrics
I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lover's souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication

The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame, it doesn't mean I don't desire
To point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow and strengthen our communication

(Cold, cold, cold) cold silence has
A tendency to
Atrophy any
Sense of compassion

Between supposed lovers
Between supposed lovers

I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit

Classic Album of the Week, Vol. 3
⮞ Listen now: “Lateralus” Happy Memorial Day! Each Monday, we take a look back at some of rock’s most important albums ever conceived – ones that have changed history, society, and/or are viewed as historically, culturally, and aesthetically important, as well as being critically acclaimed. This week’s album is Tool’s progressive rock/metal magnum opus, Lateralus, which just celebrated its 20th anniversary a little over two weeks ago on May 15th. Suddenly, all this stuff was saturated at the radio, the festivals. Perhaps it took someone like us slaving away and not really listening to that stuff. We already had this impetus from success before that and, because we followed through with it, we managed to crash through the ceiling. – Bassist Justin Chancellor via Kerrang! History Five years prior to the release of Lateralus, Tool unleashed their second full-length album Ænima on the world. By this point, the fellas – frontman Maynard James Keenan, guitarist Adam Jones, bassist
