Crystallize
Tinfed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And if she freaks out i can not hear her
But down the hall i can hear just about everything
And if i'm well or not
The walls that talk
Have taught me some lessons
I'll never forget them

So sorry you had to see
The very worst of me

Have i not made myself clear
Is there something you did not hear
Can we not see eye to eye
Before we can crystallize
We're in for a bumpy ride

What have i gotten myself into
I seem to have this effect on you
Fully convicted
Make you my victim
Or is it just my gift of friction

For your information
The floor is gone where
You furnish on

Have i not made myself clear
Is there something you did not hear
Does she always take your side
Before we can crystallize
We're in for a bumpy ride

So sorry you had to see
This terrible display

Have i not made myself clear
Is there something you did not hear
Can they never see his side
Before it all crystallizes
Have i not made myself clear
Is there something you did not hear
Can we not see eye to eye




Before we can crystallize
We're in for a bumpy ride
