your so delicately framed /
and sealed from all idle hands /
a vision to hold on to /
imprisoned but safe

so delicately held /
so delicately torn /
my tongue feels dry /
my hands are torn
but i reach out again

such purpose and strain /
to treasure so small a prize /
no foe, no threat /
mistreated... so delicately

so delicately sad /
so delicately real /
so delicately kept from all who'd steal and mislead you again...
and again... and again...
all they do is hide you from /
from consequence
but nonetheless you'll chance it someday

it's not logical /
it's insane /
why treasure this?
when all is but a moment /
and all is lost in a moment's time

so delicately sad / so delicately real /
so delicately kept from all who'd steal and mislead you again...
and again... and again...
all they do is hide you from /
from consequence
so delicately sad /
so delicately real

you always seemed to me /
way much more than just simple /
but to uncover such mysteries is more...
more than my worth /
and the moment passes me by
