LYRICS:

"WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO SEE... THE FACE OF YOUR OWN STABILITY... SUDDENLY LOOK AWAY... LEAVING YOU WITH THE DEAD AND HOPELESS... ELEVEN AND SHE WAS GONE... ELEVEN IS WHEN WE WAVED GOODBYE... ELEVEN IS STANDING STILL... WAITING FOR ME TO FREE HIM BY...
COMING HOME...

MOVING ME WITH A SOUND... OPENING ME WITHIN A GESTURE... DRAWING ME DOWN AND IN... SHOWING ME WHERE IT ALL BEGAN... ELEVEN... HE WAS TOO SCARED TO REALIZE... YOU WERE THE VOICE THATS BEEN CALLING ME BACK HOME...

UNDER A DEAD OHIO SKY... ELEVEN HAS BEEN AND WILL BE WAITING... DEFENDING HIS LIGHT AND WONDERING... WHERE THE H£LL HAVE I BEEN... SLEEPING LOST AND NUMB... IM SO GLAD THAT I HAVE FOUND YOU... I AM WIDE AWAKE AND HEADING HOME...

AIM YOUR BODY HEAVENLY..
ENDURING A MEMORY...
ILL COME TO YOUR LIGHT...
HOLD YOUR LIGHT WHERE I CAN SEE IT...

HIGH...

HOLD YOUR LIGHT... ELEVEN... LEAD ME THROUGH EACH GENTLE STEP... BY STEP... BY INCH BY LOADED MEMORY, ILL MOVE TO HEAL... AS SOON AS PAIN ALLOWS SO WE CAN REUNITE AND BOTH MOVE ON TOGETHER... HOLD YOUR LIGHT... ELEVEN... LEAD ME THROUGH EACH GENTLE STEP... BY STEP... BY INCH BY LOADED MEMORY UNTIL... ONE AND ONE ARE ONE, ELEVEN... SO GLOW... CHILD... GLOW... IM HEADING BACK HOME..."

HEY YALL REAL QUICK SHOUT-OUT TO ALL YALL FOR STICKIN WITH ME FOR SO LONG...
HERES A BIT OF BACKGROUND FOR THIS SONG TOO IN A ATTEMPT TO HOPEFULLY CLEAR UP ANY OF THE POTENTIALLY CONFUZING QUESTIONS YALL MIGHT HAVE/STUFF YALL MAY BE WONDERING ABOUT IN TERMS OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS AS WELL...

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW ALREADY MAYNARDS BIRTH NAME WAS JAMES BUT EVERYBODY CALLED HIM JIMMY AS LIKE A NICKNAME OF SORTS (HE CHANGED HIS NAME FROM JAMES/JIMMY TO MAYNARD AFTER HE LEFT THE MILITARY THOUGH) BUT THIS SONG IS A TRIBUTE TO HIS MOTHER JUDITH MARIE WHO PASSED BACK IN 2003 (I THINK??) FROM COMPLICATIONS OF A STROKE SHED HAD THAT UNFORTUNATELY LEFT HER PARALYZED AND UNABLE TO DO MUCH FOR ROUGHLY 29 YEARS OR ABOUT 10,000 DAYS HENCE WHY THERE LAST ALBUM BEFORE 2019'S FEAR INOCULUM IS CALLED 10,000 DAYS... BUT MR. KEENAN WAS AROUND 11 YEARS OLD WHEN SHE FIRST SUFFERED THE STROKE AND SHE DIDNT WANT HIM TO FEEL LIKE SHE WAS GONNA A BURDEN ON HIM OR LIKE SHE WAS HOLDING HIM BACK SO SHE CONVINCED HIM TO GO LIVE WITH HIS FATHER WHO LIVED IN MICHIGAN AT THE TIME... JUDITH MARIE LIVED IN OHIO BUT HER AND MR. KEENANS FATHER DIVORCED WHEN HE WAS LITTLE HENCE WHY HE WOULD BE BASICALLY LEAVING OHIO TO GO LIVE WITH HIS FATHER... MANY OF YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW THIS AS WELL BUT A PERFECT CIRCLE'S SONG JUDITH AS WELL AS TOOLS SONGS WINGS FOR MARIE (WINGS PART 1) AND THE 2ND HALF OF IT 10,000 DAYS (WINGS FOR MARIE PART 2) ARE ALL IN HONOR OF HIS MOTHER WHEREAS PUSCIFERS SONG AGOSTINA IS A TRIBUTE TO HIS CURRENT WIFE & HIS DAUGHTER AGOSTINA WHO BOTH ARE [TO MY KNOWLEDGE AT LEAST] STILL LIVING AS WELL AS MR. KEENANS SON DEVO...

YEAH... ITS KINDA CONFUZING BUT I JUST THOUGHT YALL MIGHT LIKE A BIT OF BACKSTORY FOR THE REASON THIS SONGS CALLED WHAT ITS CALLED SO THERE YA GO I GUESS...😅

BUT ANYWAAAY...
HOPEFULLY YALL ENJOYED THIS THOUGH...

AS ALWAYS REST EASY PAUL...

FEEL FREE TO LET ME KNOW WHAT YALL THINK OF THIS AS WELL IF YOU WANT TO... AS ALWAYS YALL DONT HAVE TO IF YOU DONT WANT TOO
