It's Come To This - Fuel

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
