Strip Down and Face Me

Strip Down and Face me Shed all those defences, those misconceptions, those memories that hold you back Those were in the past, we are the present Strip Down and Face me Smudge off all that make-up and lipstick Take off all those expensive threads you wrap yourself around so neatly Peel off any last layer of skin you got on Strip Down and Face me Show me the core of your soul The ideas and beliefs and aspirations you revolve around With a blindfold on, your sight is temporarily disabled Feel my breath on the back of your neck The way the warmth works its way down, making your spine melt, melt into me Hear my secrets gently pouring down your ear Smell my perfume: Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue for Men Ten Thousand kisses have been laid upon you; I’ll try my best to break that record every time With every person I’ve encountered I take away from each experience And in return, I leave behind a piece of me Find me in the grains of time You can find these little pieces and find me, fix me Map out my whole life story Or better yet, why don’t I do it for myself?
