Can’t you see why, accept that we're frozen, instead of constant deny, stare at loose laces, mouth a stupid token, memorise soft phrases, sing your favourite lines, our time's done with roses, there is no lullaby, gone our kid's faces, neither shrunken nor spoken, lost at their places, near a hospital bedside, hold onto love's bonus, clouds sail the sky, you blew over the traces, don't care for solace, spare us our graces, what lies unbroken.
