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
