Crystal Trap -------------- I left the blue behind me, hit the heavy silt Wrapped in leaden water where the light starts to tilt No eyes are watching here, no heat to find my way Just the weight of every choice that led me to this gray My hands are heavy anchors, my lungs are full of brine Tracing out the wreckage of a life I left behind And then the water started humming A choir of the lost is drumming A whirlpool spinning in the fold Waking secrets that I meant to hold Oh, it’s a crystal trap, perfectly designed Leaving every bit of grace so far behind It’s a beautiful cage, a perfect kind of end Where the broken parts are all starting to mend Yeah, I’m caught in the crystal trap The stairs go down forever, no handrail in my grip Just the scent of damp decay on every sinking ship There are glowing eyes like lanterns peering through the muck Watching as I fumble for a key... I'm out of luck! I can feel them watching closer, watching how I crawl Waiting for the moment that I finally let it fall And then the water started humming A choir of the lost is drumming A whirlpool spinning in the fold Waking secrets that I meant to hold Oh, it’s a crystal trap, perfectly designed Leaving every bit of grace so far behind It’s a beautiful cage, a perfect kind of end Where the broken parts are all starting to mend Yeah, I’m caught in the crystal trap The ship is frozen at the pole A needle in a hollow hole No more fighting against the tide Nowhere left for me to hide It’s so quiet... it’s so clear Oh, it’s a crystal trap perfectly designed Leaving every bit of grace so far behind It’s a beautiful cage, a perfect kind of end Where the broken parts are all starting to mend I'm sinking deep into the gap Falling right into the lap Yeah, I love the crystal trap He does well. He always does well Just let it spin Let it spin Let it spin Let it spin. Let it spin --- "Crystal Trap" Copyright © 2026 Rick n' Stolti. All rights reserved. [email protected]
