Background and Lyrics

edit

The song was written about a former partner of James Lee Lindsey Jr., named Stayce.

The lyrics first describe a positive relationship in regards to sexual endeavors, but by the end of the verse supplies an oxymoron. The second verse is one that supports the negative relationship.

According to thy word.

They shall praise Thee and suffer in every generation With glory and derision, Light upon light, mounting the saints' stair. Not for me the martyrdom, the ecstasy of thought and prayer, Not for me the ultimate vision.

I swear sometimes I look in your eyes I think I see your soul

but when the weekend's over I say where the fuck did my Stacye go.[1]
