Refrain

Lyrics for Refrain

Arbitrary lines The sum of life Shrinks with time A second death denied But I fear the ink in this pen will never dry And I'll write the same poetry Some letters you'll never read To no reprieve And I'll check the calendar days Remember the words you'd say I hope you believe Delft blue and picture frames Outlines are all that remains And a space on the cabinet With the Dalecarlian And in a faux refrain No resolution to gain And when I lie awake Attempting to relay I will always remember Those last few ounces of pressure Now I'm alone And you're just five pounds of carbon A vacant hospital room to pack They'll need this bed cleared when I get back
