It's Come To This

Oh, but 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 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
I sat when I should have stood and swallowed when I should have spit
But 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
