    One of my favorite verses ever are in this song: "Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men

    So it is, so it's always been"

    Yeah, the meter changes all over the place allowing the signature to stay the same yet constantly feel new. Schism for example has 47 meter changes.

    If this one broke you maybe you should not listen to Prison Sex.😮
    Get back into Tool with No Quarter. Or maybe back to back with Led Zeppelin’s. It becomes a lovely debate.
