[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
