Writing
"Sober" is one of the earliest songs composed by Maynard James Keenan, with roots dating back to a 1987 live performance (released as Peace Day with his first band, Children of the Anachronistic Dynasty) in which the song was called "Burn About Out". The song contains some lyrics from the first verse of "Sober", with the same basic melody, although the melody is considerably faster and has an instrumental chorus.
The song was recorded by Keenan with Tool for the first time in mid-1991 on a demo tape titled 72826.

“The importance to the writer of first writing must be out of all proportion of the actual value of what is written.”
