Who feels the pounding of their heart  
And fire flowing through their veins  
When love appears before their eyes  
And all their vision stains?

If any makes a claim against  
Reactions such as these, they lie  
All people subject to their hearts  
On nothing else rely

And when the feeling grows too strong  
To hold within that swollen chest  
The mouth will open into song  
For which I'm owed redress

The stagnant words give me offense  
A lack of effort coarse as sand  
Or flourish all too grand a phrase  
I cannot understand

It's words that fail to capture me  
My heart is closed, a heavy door  
It shall remain until the day  
That someone offers more
