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 charished 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 tentantless and bare

and I

reached up for the sky, but it always seems so far away

transcendent thoughts you gave lie to 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 for so long ago

and

now with legs weak and weary from this silly dance

with a suitcase full of memories, pack my bags and slowly drift away
