It's Come to This

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

(Chorus)
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 into 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
Transcendant thoughts you gave lie atrophied and broken

(Chorus)

And I sat when I should have stood; Swallowed when I should have spit
Until now I only recognized me in pictures taken long ago
And
All the changes simply haunt and never go away
A freind 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
