It's Come To This Lyrics

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 song 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 tenant less 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 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
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 ful of memories, I pack my bags and slowly drift away
