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 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
  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 sat when I should have stood; and swallowed when I should have spit
  But
  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 Cause 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 full of memories, I pack my bags and slowly
  Drift away
