This is lit, well done. I'd love to collab around this sound, add some edge to it and see what we make.

v1

Pressure, heat, and time
Temper an intemperate mind
Push into form, imprinted with grooves

See it happen, day by day
Losing figure, taking shape

(Form to fit to seal to close to fill the space to plug the hole)
(To bridge the gap to lock it tight to cork the neck to stop the flow)
No man is an island, he's a hardened brick of clay that's been
turned into a soldier, and made to stand his ground

Fit To Form

"Perfect Crystal World"

Verse 1
Keep an eye out for the limo
Jesus Christ is coming
Wearing diamond studded garments
And his skin, they say, is stunning
Everybody clear a pathway
The red carpet’s been rolled down
He strolls into the theatre
His entourage surrounds
 
Pre-Chorus
But behind the wave and blinding smile
Is light that burns the eyes
A glistening bit of salty water
Welling up that does belie
 
Chorus
A perfect crystal world
Insulated air
Calculated fantasies
For all the fans to share
A perfect crystal world
Undulating on a ledge
Blurring all the emptiness
That lies beyond the edge
 
Verse 2
In a hollow hotel room
The ceiling feels so low
Though there’s space enough for legions
Still the walls, they seem to close
The table makes him angry
So he smashes it to bits
Takes his knife and shreds the curtains
Breaks the mirror with his fist
 
Pre-Chorus
He’ll pay for all his rage again
It’s known with words unsaid
Yet still the lasting loneliness
Rings loudly in his head
 
Chorus
A perfect crystal world
Insulated air
Calculated fantasies
For all the fans to share
A perfect crystal world
Undulating on a ledge
Blurring all the emptiness
That lies beyond the edge
 
Bridge
And if he falls, he fears
There’s nothing but the void
But maybe that’s the only 
Way to stop the noise
Building grand illusions
A double sided blade
Surrounded by a gilded cage
That he alone has made
 
Pre-Chorus
His mother used to tell him
As mother’s sometimes do
Be careful what you wish for
Your wish might just come true

Perfect Crystal World

Lyrics 
[Verse 1]
I tell you that I refuse
And I black out from the impact
You make it so you can't lose
When I'm choked up and can't fight back
The scars you give me are revealing
The truth that I can't take these beatings
And you're always still lying
while I'm trying and I'm rattled
There's so much more than kneecaps 
and torn shoulders in this battle
It must be nice that I keep needing
I let you in but I'm receding

It's gone on way too long now
And it's fucked up, but I'm stalling
I feel it every day now
There's no leaving when you're calling
It feels out of my hands now
And I don't know how to change it
And I don't know how to hate it, no

[Chorus]
Give me the blame
It's all one with the abuse, my life's receding 
Mournful on my knees for you
You take till I give in, you got me bleeding till I'm blue
So misleading like you do

[Verse 2]
I tell you turns the lights on
You should see just who you're hurting
I close my eyes to pretend
what you're doing's not unnerving
You're trying hard and that's what matters
It's been a war and I'm so battered

You claim this shit's so easy
But I don't know how it happened
All that's left's been worn out, bruises run down
Oh I'm damaged
It feels out of my hands now
And I don't know how to change it
And I don't know how to hate it, no

[Chorus]
Give me the blame
It's all one with the abuse, my life's receding 
Mournful on my knees for you
You take till I give in, you got me bleeding till I'm blue
So misleading 

[Verse 3]
If your gifts of love are my injuries
And you don't feel nothing when you look at me
Tell me why you're making me pay
It doesn't feel right but I'll be okay
If you want to keep taking my breath away
Let me see your eyes before I fade away
If love's got no limits like you say
It's okay to show me pain
It's okay to show me

Perfect Crystal World
