The intro riff is played through almost the entire song
(This is one of the only two Tallman songs using 2 guitars)
Jay plays the intro, Paul plays the heavy stuff.

This is a guess:
RIFF B

3:01 - 4:13 
(There's an underlying guitar part I don't know)

Riff A again, with distortion, no open notes.
One note is played an extra time, 

4:14 - 5:09 - I don't know

5:09 - 5:30 - Riff B

5:31 - 6:27 - I don't know

The song goes out on this part:

LYRICS:
in a darkened room, sun burned a hole in your eyes 
afraid to leave the tomb, afraid to look at the sky 
you will be waking soon, come on and open your eyes 
you will be waking soon, come on see through the disguise 

head in a grey balloon, waiting to witness a sign 
head in a grey balloon, immune to passing of time 
you will be waking soon, come on and open your eyes 
you will be waking soon, come on see through the disguise 

your hollow apathy, is not concerning me 
stuck somewhere inbetween, a dying wish and a dream 
question philosophy, reject hypocrisy 
stuck somewhere inbetween, a dying wish and a dream 

reaching out for something, something I cannot find 
reaching out for someone, someone is left behind 

your hollow apathy, is not concerning me 
stuck somewhere inbetween, a dying wish and a dream 
question philosophy, reject hypocrisy 
stuck somewhere inbetween, a dying wish and a dream 

come on and open your eyes
