  • I climbed your arms
    Then you pulled away
    A new cavity moved into
    My heart today

    The more she sings
    The more it seems
    Now I'm
    Now I'm through
    With the new you

    Now I'm through
    With the new you
    New you

    I drove you home
    Then you moved away
    New cavity moved into
    My heart today

    The more I scream
    The more it seems
    That I'm through

    Now I'm through
    With the new you
    Now I'm through
    With the new you
    Now I'm through
    With the new you

  • Jimmy from Sydney, Australiathis song may lack in instrumentation, and the traditional sound of the deftones, but it still is able to send out such an emotional presentation of love falling apart into 'cavity.' thats a beautiful metaphor for the way in which love can deteriorate after certain experiences in your teenage years.
  • Tim from Pgh, PaThe original version of this song is on "The White Pony." The two main differences between this song and the album version are that the verses are sung by the lead singer of Idiot Pilot and the chorus is sung by Chino. The only one is that a guitar is used as the instrument in this song, as compared to a turntable on the White Pony.
