Part 1

The world sways. You take it and lay it bare.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

"Look at me"

The world sways

Part 2

My condition grows harder to hide

You kiss me anyway

You take it, and lay it bare

Part 3

This is my seventh body. At your command, the world sways.

Eventually they come for us.

"Don't leave me here alone."

"You are already alone"

Part 4

You take it and lay it bare.

They write poems and songs about us

In time with the music, the world sways.

It takes us and lays us bare.
