Lyrics

Despair

Take off your clothes
And give them to me.
Put on my robes,
Pretend that you're me.
Because nobody knows
Who we are,
I'm sorry friend
But we've come too far.

We've come too far.

Slip off your shoes,
Step into mine.
Come to face me,
Now is the time.
Everything is set,
Everything is fine,
Show me your back,
You're ready now.

You're ready now.
