Captive - george

I want to scream sometimes, louder than passing traffic

Yet only I can hear, my silent noise

Everyday consumes me, each step I’m falling in

Imprisoned in my own choice

The phone’s ringing every minute

PRE-CHORUS: So I try to take time, just to breathe for a minute

To find a silent breath I can call my own

So I try to give time one more quiet second

To find a silent breath I can call my own

CHORUS: And I know I choose to be, yet I feel I’m a captive of it

I make love to it, but I hate it

And I want to, but I’m scared of running away

To make love or to hate is all in my own hands

I suppose you always feel safe when you feel control

Yet under all I know, I’m never really in control

Time’s my most intimate love, peace is the sister I dont have

Silent is pure sanctity, how I crave for you

PRE-CHORUS: So I try to take time, just to breathe for a minute

To find a silent breath I can call my own

So I try to give time one more quiet second

To find a silent breath I can call my own

CHORUS: And I know I choose to be, yet I feel I’m a captive of it

I make love to it, but I hate it

And I know I choose to be, yet I feel I’m a captive of you

And I make love to you, but I hate you

And I want to, but I’m scared of running away

To make love or to hate is all in my own hands

OUTRO: Yet the unknown breeds fear, my mother’s breast seems miles away

You can be happy, you can be happy

You can be happy to play the game until your deck runs out
