 Looking back across the years through 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 up on 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

Feels like I'm going down again.

Feels like I've 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, so I slowly decayed

 Have a little faith in me, that's all

 "How mighty am I then, if this is everywhere I've been

 And as the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall

 I will disintegrate until there's nothing left at all

 Feels like I'm going down again. Feels like I've lost my only friend

 And I never thought I'd see the day

My heroes all became psychotics

 My drugs are all expensive exotics

 My blood is thick with antibiotics

 So I toss the coin to fate, it's only right

Take no blame so I can sleep so tight

 You know that out of mind is also out of sight

As the daylight broke I cast no shadow on on the wall

I pass the closed apartment doors in rows along the hall

Feels like I'm going down again.

Feels like I've lost my only friend
