Tool – Pushit (Live) lyrics
We've been trying something a little different this tour
We've been looking at one of our songs from a different angle,
under a different light,
so we can hopefully kinda almost see it for the first time.
We'd like to try that for you tonight, is that okay?
We're gonna need your help though.
We're gonna need your help and your permission.
So we need you to find a comfortable space
that is not only comfortable, but vulnerable.
I want you to shut your eyes and go there
and we'll meet you on the other side........
Saw the gap again today
while you were begging me to stay
Take care not to make me enter
if I do we both may disappear
Saw the gap again today
while you were begging me to stay
Managed to push myself away
and you as well my dear
and you, as well
Pushed you away my dear
I will choke until I swallow
Choke this infant here before me
What are you but my reflection?
Who am I to judge or strike you down?
Who am I to judge or strike you down?
But you're pushing me
and I'm shoving you
and your pushing me
and I'm shoving you
Rest your trigger on my finger
Bang my head upon the fault line
You better take care not to make me enter
If I do we both may disappear
If I do we both may disappear
But you're pushing me
and I'm shoving you
and you're pushing me
and I'm shoving you
You still love me
You still love me
You still love me
You still love me
and were pushing and were shoving
and I'm pushing as your shoving
And I'm slipping back into the gap again
I feel alive when you touch me.
I feel alive when you hold me........down
Slipping back into you
Slipping back into you
I am somewhere I don't wanna be, yeah
Put me somewhere I don't wanna be
Push me somewhere I don't wanna be
Seeing someplace I don't wanna see
Never wanna see that place again.....
Saw the gap again today
while you were begging me to stay
Managed to push myself away
and you as well my dear
if, when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay
You minimize my movement anyways
I must persuade you another way
Pushing and shoving and
pushing and shoving and
pushing me
There's no love in fear
Staring down the hole again
Hands are on my back again
Survival is my only friend
Terrified of what may come
Remember I will always love you
as I claw your fucking throat away
It will end no other way
it will end no other way.
