This was the first song Alain wrote and recorded for the album. In a live performance on the 2 meter sessions he revealed it was written when he was touring with Them Crooked Vultures in 2009
[Verse 1]
Oh my heart
That you stole so long ago
Has returned to me this day
So full and empty
Oh this dream
That we shared through all extremes
In a hunt for what it means
To heal by fire
Endless eyes
The immovable did bend
In the presence of your strength
In the gifted joy of your intent
[Chorus]
It's killing me that I must go on living
Just to fill this cup of promise
With meaning
It's tearing me apart we're so connected
It's the you in me
Each day I'm resurrected
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
Truth and lies
Melt away when something's real
To be blinded by your eyes
That is so twisted
Never swayed
Look at all the seeds you layed
Shamelessly so unafraid
To face the devil
Endless eyes
The immovable did bend
In the presence of your strength
In the gifted joy of your intent
[Chorus]
It's killing me that I must go on living
Just to fill this cup of promise
With meaning
It's tearing me apart we're so connected
It's the you in me
Each day I'm resurrected
