Looking back across the years
On a million unshed tears
How could i have held them all
Oh the price that i have paid
For all the love i never made
Someone wrote upon the wall
"How mighty is my pen
If this is everywhere it's been."
Yes the wine's delicious
But I'm needing something stronger.
I'm growing suspicious
That I won't be here much longer.
And it feels like I'm goin' down again
Feels like I lost my only friend.
Crawling home from some saloon
And all my strings are out of tune.
No one's around to break my fall.
No attempt was ever made
And so I slowly decay.
Just have a little faith in me that's all.
Oh how mighty am I then
If this is everywhere I've been.
As the day-light broke I cast no shadow on the wall
I will desintigrate until there's nothing left at all.
And it feels like I'm goin' down again.
Feels like I lost my only friend.
And I never thought I'd see the day
My heros all became psychotics.
My drugs are all expensive exotics.
Now my blood is thick with antibiotics.
So I toss the coin to fate, it's only right.
And I take no blame so I can sleep so tight.
You know that out of mind is also out of sight.
As the day-light broke I cast no shadow on the wall.
I pass the closed apartment doors
And rows along the halls.
And it feels like I'm goin' down again.
Feels like I lost my only friend.
