Held captive by the look of you Hold stunned my eager breath Beauty like the heart of winter Untouched and frozen perfect The distance holds as sterile Desires of flesh and flesh For innocent is yearning If left sans recompense The player's pride will sing of victory In cheated games yet won by none Play patient, suffer discipline Fight fair or flight screams run Still this life is set to spiral And downward shapes the snare Sacrifice self for sake of sympathy Whose weight is this I bare? Ballasts drag different on principle Your load at least is novel We float, we sail, we sink, we bail Let the journey play the model You've the scent of land uncharted You've the glow of gold unowned You're prospect seems so guarded You've trapped my will in stone

Ballasts drag different on principle Your load at least is novel We float, we sail, we sink, we bail Let the journey play the model You've the scent of land uncharted You've the glow of gold unowned You're prospect seems so guarded You've trapped my will in stone
