It’s Come to This

[Verse 1]
And I found my head uncrowned
And all life's sweet nectar 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
All 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

[Verse 2]
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

[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

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
And I sat when I should have stood
And swallowed when I should have spit
Until 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

[Bridge]
Held my eyes closed for too long
Held my eyes closed for too long

[Verse 4]
Just before I go
Don't you offer any sweet advice
'Cause where are 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...
