Crystal Wheels Lyrics

The room was so much brighter than the day

But it did not hurt my eyes

I couldn't think of anything to say

So I quietly analysed

I was aware that there were wheels within the wheels

Each wheel a colour unlike the next

I heard a voice somewhere to my left

He spoke of endings and the need to reflect

I wasn't ready to take his hand

I could feel my body fighting for its life

I asked if there was anything that could be done

He said maybe son, yeah he said maybe son

I'm negotiating

With the man of the crystal wheels

It's a conversation

I'm trying to cut some sort of a deal

He seems very insistent

I refuse to go without a fight

This is my very existence

I will not step into the light

I turned so I could look him in the eye

He said I didn't really have a choice

I told him I'd like to see him try

He never blinked but he did start to smile

He told me an arrangement could be met

If I could just be a better man

He said there were so many battles still to be won

And I said maybe son, yeah I said maybe son

I'm negotiating

With the man of the crystal wheels

It's a conversation

I'm trying to cut some sort of a deal

He seems very insistent

I refuse to go without a fight

This is my very existence

I will not step into the light

I don't wanna go yet

So much to see, so much to do

I don't wanna go yet

I've got to get back to you

I'm negotiating

With the man of the crystal wheels

It's a conversation

I'm trying to cut some sort of a deal

He seems very insistent

I refuse to go without a fight

This is my very existence

I will not step into the light
