Crystallized

The morning comes
 TV still on
 Wanna watch the cartoon starfish preach
 Floating around
 Try to touch back down
 But I'm moving further out of reach
 And now tonight you come to hear
 These splintered stories
 Of all the years of bad choices
 It's becoming clear
 You can't escape the crowd of faces
 The ringing in your ears
 Time was holding out
 Laying on a busted couch
 Searching for a phrase to send the lights back down
 When they turn away, when they disengage
 All alone when you get back home
 Draw the curtains up against the heat
 On your disconnected phone
 There's no dial tone
 No one's calling, no one's coming near
 She was crystalized
 So indiscreet
 We were up all night
 Keyed up without fear
 All big ideas with nowhere to go
 So many plans
 No center hold
 Looking back on all that now
 Wonder how we got out
 We were just the lucky ones
 Scrape and scratch and heal back up
 Off the floor
 Coming back for more
 ♪
 Could you take it now with your shaking hands
 Could you tell me now that I can understand
 It was all a game I never learned to play
