FUEL LYRICS - It's Come To This

"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 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
