Idolise The Watcher
All Words By : Stewart Alexander

Winter is a fashionable excuse for insanity
I use it in the summer too
My light retires to a good new home
After dragging the dragon and his blood in the dew
Even seasick men have their say
Albeit superfluous and stark
Let the poisons lace my empty glass
But this time thankfully it's lost in the dark
Snakes laugh as they go unnoticed in the belfry
Lions tear apart a refugee
Crumbled bridges are seen below our flight
Trying to reach the floor of the free
Universal notes are in a refrain of stale Champagne
Deleted dreams heal our cuts
We tend to ignore what we should listen to the most
The words that slice open our guts
You see the end is not nigh or close
Folded light is hiding with the ghost
Of all that's come and gone and will do
From the sand the sea the coast
I love the rain in her cascaded veil she soothes
Goodbye seems easier in a storm
But silver reflects a different scene
For those dying dead or freshly born
Idolise the watcher for he sees himself best
Never treated to isolation or haste
We can skin any bone and ignore the screams
For all we want is a different taste
