10.000 days

• "the true meaning of the album name 10,000 days. you see, judith marie garrison had a severe stroke in 1976 which left her paralyzed and wheelchair bound. yet all the time up until her death in 2003, she kept her faith in the lord unbreakable and lived her life unselfishly for others. maynard tells us what's up with the line "10,000 days in the fire is long enough....you're going home."
  
  judith was paralyzed for 27 years, or roughly 10,000 days. this song also adds a whole new perspective on the a perfect circle track "judith" which seemed to be a backhanded slap toward the woman with lines such as "fuck you god, your lord and your christ....he did this" and especially the sarcastic "pray for the one who left you broken down and paralyzed....he did it all for you."
  
  10,000 days has a distinctly different tone, with maynard praising his mother the whole song, stating how she's the only person he's ever met truly deserving of heaven, re-iterating how she saved his life, and even advising her that when she finally does meet god, she should tell him that she never took a life, but surely saved one, and it's time for him to bring her home.
