The Sacred

Lydia Cole

Compositor: Lydia Cole

The Sun seems lost, the stars look weird
I can't read the rainclouds overhead
Leaves grow warm, limbs get cold
Am I getting wiser or just getting old?

And I don't recognise my neighbour yet
And I don't recognise the sacred

I feel lost, I feel weird
I feel the rainclouds overhead
North seems south, lungs feel black
Have I really lost it? I wanna go back

And I don't know why I can't just relax
And I don't know why time is crawling
And I don't know why I down-play my pride
And I don't know why I get stage fright

I can't remember why, I don't know how
This is what I'm doing now

Head in the dark, hand on heart
We're gonna make it out now and turn it into art

And somewhere deep inside I hold my breath
And when I'm on my knees I thank my legs
And I don't know what's holding me upright
'Cause I don't recognise the sacred
