Sacred

(album: Swimming Static - 2021)

These fine days
I'm fond enough of them, salt and raised
I'm held aloft by them
Proving takes time and space

Then mid-parade
Reservations start, mood deflates
Power drains away, slows and stays
The cavalcade

Then aside, from time to time
The pressure builds in my head
Then aside, from time to time
The pressure builds and things unwind
Then aside, from time to time
The pressure builds in my head

Fortunes unfold, faded
The pollution's mine, it's sacred
My chemical waver
Chemical, chemical waver
Fortunes unfold, faded
The pollution's mine, it's sacred
Chemical, chemical waver

When I'm on the edge
In a change of heart, a complex web
Starts to stick again, holds and stays
The cavalcade

I'm faded
The pollution's mine, it's sacred
Chemical, chemical waver
I'm faded
The pollution's mine, it's sacred
Chemical, chemical waver

Then aside, from time to time
The pressure builds in my head
Then aside, from time to time
The pressure builds and things unwind
Then aside, from time to time
The pressure builds in my head

Fortunes unfold, faded
The pollution's mine, it's sacred
My chemical waver
Chemical, chemical waver
Fortunes unfold, faded
The pollution's mine, it's sacred
Chemical, chemical waver

I'm faded
The pollution's mine, it's sacred
Chemical, chemical waver
I'm faded
The pollution's mine, it's sacred
Chemical, chemical waver

The pressure builds in my head...
