lyrics

An Awful Refrain

Tortured faces
Losing races
Apathy
Rears its
Ugly head

Angled corners
Rattling dormers
Just forget
The things
We've said

Crystal morning
or a storm warning
Broken promises
Hanging
By a thread

You won't even
Address this
Pain
Circling among us
An awful refrain

You won't even
Address this
Pain
Circling among us
An awful refrain
An awful refrain

Pretty pills
And counsel
Burning sadness
We were all
Terribly misled

Ribbons and boxes
It's so toxic
Hold me now
Don't let go

You won't even
Address this
Pain
Circling among us
An awful refrain

You won't even
Address this
Pain
Circling among us
An awful refrain
An awful refrain

Crystal morning
or a storm warning
Broken promises
Hanging
By a thread

You won't even
Address this
Pain
Circling among us
An awful refrain
You won't even
Address this
Pain
Circling among us
An awful refrain
An awful refrain
