	Story Behind the Song This song is about a sort of "self-inflicted" illness that my father went through, which was the first serious illness that I've ever known him to have, and my feelings surrounding the event. The main part of the song (the bassline) was written the day he went into the emergency room, and the lyrics began as a poem, but eventually were reworked with more rhyme to make it "song friendly". The lyrics were reworked several times in order to maintain the feelings and imagery I wanted to bring across with the song. Lyrics Verse 1 Machines are not a part of you Cold plastic warms inside of you Warm swallowed draught conspires to Devour if you leave it to Water from my eyes tastes like salt If you look too hard you'll find the fault, And here you are, a will, a wall The one I thought could never fall Chorus A sad truth That hands will fold For life keep on and play for me How could it hurt To see you go I pray I never know Barely bearing weight of new Occurrence I could envy you To go before your loved one's do It's selfish, but it's true The form on Holy Cross is nailed God's son, a song that's never failed It rained the warmth of tears that day For father it's the same Repeat Chorus (Bridge) Repeat Chorus
