It's Come to This Songtext

von 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 cherished stage and all
My mangled hopes all song 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
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)
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 fulof memories, I pack my bags and slowly drift away
