Swallow - Gazpacho

Solemn and scared

Held it in the rain

To wake it up again

With frozen eyes

Of scarlet ink

Silent in sleep

The first day of spring

Footprints and lines

Painted in the sand

A feather in his hand

Turn into glass

And fold it’s wings

Damp as it bleeds

Dark into deep

Violent as glamour

Sweetest vermouth

As long as the winter

That burned through your youth

If you can stomach

The stone again

You’ll taste the comeback

Before it begins

Silent and vast

An abandoned train

Never run again

Lord of the flies

Of violent deed

The stone disappears

Your conscience is clear

Soft as the water

Hard as the truth

As weak as the memory

Of the future of your youth

If you can stomach

The stone again

You’ll taste the comeback

Before it begins

So if you cheated

And stole and bruised

And twisted the life from

Someone you used

If you can stomach

The stone again

You’ll taste the end

Before it begins
