It's Come to This

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
 I fear I've wasted all my sun
 I fear I've wasted all my time
 Everything is faded
 Smiles are fabricated, and 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 tenantless and bare, and I
 Reached up for the sky, but it always seemed so far away, and
 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, and 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 shoulda stood, and swallowed when I shoulda spit, but
 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
 And held my eyes closed for too long, mm-uh
 And held my eyes closed for too lo-ong
 Just before I go, don't you offer any sweet advice, 'cause
 Where were all your shoulders when I needed them so long ago? And
 Now, with legs weak and weary from this silly dance
 Suitcase full of memories, I pack my bags and slowly drift away
