re: A Perfect Circle "Doomed" video is out

Probably worth adding just a bit of context for those unfamiliar with Maynard's history.

His mother, Judith Marie had an aneurysm when he was a boy leaving her paralyzed. She was a very faithful to her religion.

Judith by A Perfect Circle expresses his anger with god and how could she be so faithful to the same god who left her in that state.

Years later
10,000 Days album by Tool is a reference to how long his mom was paralyzed and suffering before she died.

Wings For Marie I & II on the album is him advocating for his mother to get her wings in heaven due to her unwavering devotion. It makes a distinction between her devotion even in the face of suffering vs the majority of the congregation.

Ignorant fibbers in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy
Spare me
None of them can even hold a candle up to you
Blinded by choices hypocrites won't see

But enough about the collective Judas
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated
Your little piece of the divine


It goes on to advocate for her faith & devotion.

High is the way, but our eyes are upon the ground
You were the light and the way that they'll only read about
I only pray Heaven knows when to lift you out
Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough
You're going home

You're the only one who can hold your head up high
Shake your fist at the gates saying
I have come home now
Fetch me the spirit
The son, and the father
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended
It's time now, my time now
Give me my, give me my, wings
