This song was inspired by a painting that Dali did. The story behind the painting is about a guy who finds a stone relief of a woman and falls in love with the relief. Later in life he meets her, and they fall in love, but she taken from him in war. When she is lost is goes insane because he loses every part of him that she held as her ( in the painting he is missing his face, crotch and heart). However, she never really left him because her love was always with him and she find her way back. However, when she gets back to him he is too far gone to notice her. - To me it's a true depiction of love and how in some way we are all looking for our rock to lean on that holds the missing pieces without whom we would loose ourselves. It just inspires the notion of how intense love in its truest form is meant to me.




Pressing on the keys I push him over the edge
Tangled into this web of lies
He reaches out and sings for my name
Feeding into this delusion of insecurity
Believing I will be the one to save him tonight

And I’m sorry for the imposition
But darling you’ve gone deaf
With your hands against your ears
And your heart churning into stone
All you’ve got to offer are the voids
In the places that my love once stood
You wander reaching out for the one thing you can’t find
Too far gone to notice that I am right here by your side

So quick to forget when they tore my flesh from your grasp
You no longer felt my love that surrounded your every breath
Was it really every my blood that lead your heart
Ever really what you swore I once was
Becoming so lost in what you claim to see
You no longer saw me

And I’m sorry for the imposition
But darling you’ve gone deaf
With your hands against your ears
And your heart churning into stone
All you’ve got to offer are the voids
In the places that my love once stood
You wander reaching out for the one thing you can’t find
Too far gone to notice that I am right here by your side

In this desert barren of sanity I find myself at home
With arms clasped around your neck
Just like you my heart will churn into stone
Just like you, just me and you
