Sacred & Mundane

Evaporate
Drop by drop
Sinking inch by inch
Feel the ebb and flow
As momentum slows
Accumulate
One by one
Changing bit by bit
Ivory tower test
Entertains the guest
Hidden in the space between the words
Another dialect to learn
An ounce prevents a pound of cure
Sacred and mundane
Articulate
Word by word
Standing face to face
Bridges burning still
In a test of wills
Manipulate
Step by step
Twisting day by day
Addicted to the fight
Words as sharp as knives
I see blue washing into orange and red
Fanning sparks to flame
Details multiply
Never twice the same
Assimilate
Choice by choice
Shrinking lie by lie
False identity
Keeping you from me
