A Gentle Slave To Calming
 


All Words By : Stewart Alexander

I whisper steps in auditoriums
 


Drive by lakeside provinces in a hum
 


Words are white swollen guitar-strings in the bin
 


Where I feel the tender the moon the sun
 


 
 


Jump-start early morning sunshine
 


Poetry clears her throat from smoke
 


My thoughts they're blackened by trees and lumber-jacks
 


Please someone save me as I choke
 
 
 


 Sophisticated dirt cleansing my depression
 


I'm running the hurt from my face
 


I die I free wet gold into the realm
 


While bullets smile and pass me at pace
 


 
 


Stepping on long patience glamour to my final dust
 


In my portrait hides a smile lost in last reprise
 


Listing like a watered ship broken bottles captured
 


The last poetic look in my sullen eyes
 


 
 


Falling with proverbial stars I've become what I hate the most
 


A gentle slave to calming
 


Sapphired thoughts running through my veins
 


I live in alienation open to the harming
 


 
 


A castle made of sand crumbles in my hand
 


I hear the weeping high
 


The day turns to stray away from the cold
 


To a warmer smoother silent sigh
 


 
 


Missing windows tend to crash on the inside
 


Heat and dry skin still plague me in willow
 


Wine is morbid delightfully dead
 


For sick dreams from my sweat keep staining my pillow

Always a pleasure, Stewie  Question - in the 3rd stanza, is the \"I die I free\" intentional?
