Crystalline Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Underneath our feet
Crystals grow like plants
Listen how they grow
I'm blinded by the lights
Listen how they grow
In the core of the earth
Listen how they glow
[Chorus 1]
Crystalline
Internal Nebula
Crystalline
Rocks growing slow-mo
Crystalline
I conquer claustrophobia
Crystalline
And demand the light
[Verse 2]
We mimic the openness
Of the ones we love
Dovetail our generosity
Equalize the flow
With our hearts
We chisel quartz
To reach love
[Chorus 1]
Crystalline
Internal Nebula
Crystalline
Rocks growing slow-mo
Crystalline
I conquer claustrophobia
Crystalline
And demand the light
[Verse 3]
Octagon, polygon
Pipes up an organ
Sonic branches
Murmuring drone
Crystallizing galaxies
Spread out like my fingers
[Chorus 1]
Crystalline
Internal Nebula
Crystalline
Rocks growing slow-mo
Crystalline
I conquer claustrophobia
Crystalline
And demand the light
[Chorus 2]
Crystalline
Listen how they grow
Internal Nebula
Crystalline
Listen how they glow
Rocks growing slow-mo
Crystalline
Listen how they grow
I conquer claustrophobia
Crystalline
Listen how they glow
And demand the light
[Outro]
It's the sparkle you become
When you conquer anxiety
It's the sparkle you become
When you conquer anxiety
