Sweet Despair

[Verse 1]

There's a place by the lake, we're strangers

Wide awake into the blue, we're aimless

Let's run away to a place where we're unknown

Wide awake, unseen to wondering eyes for just a day

Our minds will take us somewhere

The light of day is just a place for us to play

[Chorus]

Sweet despair, sweet despair

Sweet despair, sweet despair

Not all that promise is lost and gone

[Verse 2]

Drifting out, no shrinking leaves, we're violets

Heavy trees, longer away from silence

So don't you speak

The cracks in the canvas, they were never meant to reach us

Kinda funny how it's all gone stale

So where'd you go with the peaches now?

Where'd you go with the peaches now?

[Chorus]

Sweet despair, sweet despair

Sweet despair, sweet despair

Not all that promise is lost and gone

[Bridge]

Motions signal my devotion

Give me something potent

Drifting through these oceans

Searching for a shark, I need something more

This lust is wearing off

The cobra's at my door, keep on whispering
