And I found my head uncrowned
And all life's sweet necter flowing down
The cracks and seams
Wasted on some petty little prayers
I reached up for despair
But I was well below that cherished stage
And all my mangled hopes all songs unsung

I fear I've wasted all my sun
I fear I've wasted all my time
Everything is faded
Smiles are fabricated now
I fear I've wasted all my sun
I fear I've wasted all my time
Held my eyes...
Too closed for too long

And I ran out through the streets
In hopes that I might find it there
But all my buildings stared back at me
Tenantless and bare
And I reached up for the sky
But it always seemed so far away
Transcendent thoughts you gave
Lie atrophied and broken

I fear I've wasted all my sun
I fear I've wasted all my time
Everything is faded
Smiles are fabricated now
I fear I've wasted all my sun
I fear I've wasted all my time
Held my eyes...
Closed for too long

And I sat when I should have stood
Swallowed when I should have spit
But now I only recognize me in pictures
Taken long ago
And all the changes simply haunt
And never go away
A friend will tell when I hit hell
I may not feel the change

Held my eyes closed for too long
Held my eyes closed for too long

Just before I go
Don't you offer any sweet advice
Because where were all your shoulders
When I needed them so long ago
And now with legs weak and weary
From this silly dance
With a suitcase full of memories
I pack my bags and slowly...
Drift...
Away...
