[07:18.596]II. About to crash
[08:15.847]She can't stop pacing
[08:18.371]She never felt so alive
[08:21.154]Her thoughts are racing
[08:23.289]Set on overdrive
[08:26.378]It takes a village
[08:28.740]This she knows is true
[08:31.436]They're expecting her
[08:33.992]And she's got work to do
[08:37.268]He helplessly stands by
[08:40.309]It's meaningless to try
[08:43.794]As he rubs his red-rimmed eyes
[08:47.243]He says "I've never seen her get this bad"
[08:53.347]Even though she seems so high
[08:56.754]He knows that she can't fly
[09:00.224]And when she falls out of the sky
[09:03.888]He'll be standing by
[09:16.853]She was raised in a small midwestern town
[09:21.879]By a charming and eccentric loving father
[09:27.588]She was praised as the perfect teenage girl
[09:32.672]And everyone thought highly of her
[09:38.172]And she tried everyday
[09:44.217]With endless drive
[09:46.708]To make the grade
[09:49.620]Then one day
[09:51.894]She woke up to find
[09:54.408]The perfect girl
[09:56.964]Had lost her mind
[10:00.544]Once barely taking a break
[10:05.892]Now she sleeps the days away
[10:10.690]She helplessly stands by
[10:13.334]It's meaningless to try
[10:16.131]All she wants to do is cry
[10:19.588]No one ever knew she was so sad
[10:25.587]Cause even though she gets so high
[10:28.350]And thinks that she can fly
[10:31.421]She will fall out of the sky
[10:34.812]But in the face of misery
[10:38.493]She found hopefulness
[10:41.052]Feeling better
[10:43.095]She had weathered
[10:44.822]This depression
[11:02.897]Much to her advantage
[11:05.610]She resumed her frantic pace
[11:09.032]Boundless power
[11:11.077]Midnight hour
[11:12.582]She enjoyed the race
[11:21.054]Solo
[12:57.157]III. War inside my head
[13:39.602]Napalm showers
[13:43.029]Showed the cowards
[13:44.679]We weren't there to mess around
[13:48.241]Through heat exhaustion
[13:50.276]And mind distortion
[13:51.918]A military victory mounted on innocent ground
[13:56.248]Hearing voices from miles away
[14:00.146]Saying things never said
[14:03.298]Seeing shadows in the light of the day
[14:06.791]Waging a war inside my head
[14:14.813]A war inside my head
[14:24.385]Years and years of
[14:25.836]Bloodshed and warfare
[14:27.530]Our mission was only to get in and kill
[14:31.012]A free vacation
[14:32.736]Of palmtrees and shrapnel
[14:34.524]Trading innocence for permanent psychotic hell
[14:38.832]Hearing voices from miles away
[14:42.604]Saying things never said
[14:45.738]Seeing shadows in the light of the day
[14:49.222]Waging a war inside my head
[14:52.681]Feeling strangers staring my way
[14:56.247]Reading minds never read
[14:59.772]Tasting danger with each word I say
[15:03.239]Waging the war inside my head……
[15:06.079]IV. The test that stumped them all
[15:49.539]Standing in the darkness
[15:51.625]Waiting for the light
[15:53.908]The smell of pure adrenaline
[15:56.020]Burning in the night
[15:58.548]Random blinding flashes
[16:00.645]Aiming at the stage
[16:03.106]Intro tape begins to roll
[16:06.448]Igniting sonic rage
[16:08.540]Still they keep me between these hollow walls
[16:12.886]Hoping to find in me
[16:15.147]The answers to the test that stumped them all
[16:27.188]"The boy is just simply crazy
[16:28.972]Suffering from delusions
[16:30.619]We honestly think that maybe
[16:32.318]He might need an institution
[16:34.044]He lives in a world of fiction
[16:35.711]And really could use some help
[16:37.348]We have just the place to fix him
[16:39.086]To save him from himself"
[16:50.321]Curled up in the darkness
[16:52.545]Searching for the light
[16:54.785]The smell of sweat and shit
[16:57.193]Steaming through the night
[16:59.407]Random urine testing
[17:01.422]Pills red, pink and blue
[17:03.854]Counseling and therapy
[17:07.154]Providing not a clue
[17:09.299]Still they keep me between these hollow walls
[17:13.814]Hoping to find in me
[17:15.788]The answers to the test that stumped them all
[17:28.007]"We can't seem to find the answers
[17:29.726]He seemed such a clear cut case
[17:31.447]We cannot just let him leave here
[17:33.141]And put all this work to waste
[17:34.831]Why don't we try shock treatment
[17:36.648]It really might do some help
[17:38.235]We have just the tools to fix him

[17:41.598]Solo
[19:55.027]V. Goodnight kiss
[20:52.330]Goodnight kiss in your nightgown
[20:59.504]Lavender in your bed
[21:05.721]So innocent as you lie down
[21:12.863]Sweet dreams that run through your head
[21:20.701]Are you lonely without Mommy's love?
[21:27.540]I want you to know I'd die for that moment
[21:34.750]You're just a poor girl
[21:38.365]Afraid of this cruel world
[21:41.907]Taken away from it all
[22:18.780]It's been five years to the day and
[22:26.109]My tainted blood's still the same
[22:33.860]I can't help acting this way and
[22:40.191]Those bastard doctors are gonna pay
[22:48.249]I'm so lonely without baby's love
[22:54.672]I want you to know I'd die for one more moment
[23:01.844]I'm just a poor girl

[23:09.055]Taken away from it all
[23:16.175]Solo
[26:15.997]VI. Solitary shell
[26:49.297]He seemed no different from the rest
[26:53.309]Just a healthy normal boy
[26:56.989]His mama always did her best
[27:00.777]And he was daddy's pride and joy
[27:05.141]He learned to walk and talk on time
[27:08.586]But never cared much to be held
[27:12.777]And steadily he would decline
[27:16.050]Into his solitary shell
[27:18.830]As a boy he was considered somewhat odd
[27:23.218]Kept to himself most of the time
[27:27.819]He would daydream in and out of his own world
[27:31.461]But in every other way he was fine
[27:35.786]He's a Monday morning lunatic
[27:40.246]Disturbed from time to time
[27:45.063]Lost within himself
[27:48.529]In his solitary shell
[27:54.252]A temporary catatonic
[27:58.526]Madman on occasion
[28:03.087]When will he break out
[28:06.657]Of his solitary shell
[28:38.829]He struggled to get through his day
[28:42.720]He was helplessly behind
[28:46.281]He poured himself onto the page
[28:49.860]Writing for hours at a time
[28:52.647]As a man he was a danger to himself
[28:57.015]Fearful and sad most of the time
[29:01.264]He was drifting in and out of sanity
[29:04.850]But in every other way he was fine
[29:09.496]He's a Monday morning lunatic
[29:13.868]Disturbed from time to time
[29:18.689]Lost within himself
[29:22.340]In his solitary shell
[29:28.035]A momentary maniac
[29:31.977]With casual delusions
[29:36.643]When will he be let out
[29:40.178]Of his solitary shell
[29:46.053]Solo
[31:55.577]VII. About to crash (reprise)
[32:45.746]I'm alive again
[32:48.652]The darkness far behind me
[32:52.070]I'm invincible
[32:54.487]Despair will never find me
[32:58.340]I feel strong

[33:04.419]Boundless energy
[33:06.795]Euphoria fixation
[33:10.993]Still it's hard to just get by

IV. The test that stumped them all
Standing in the darkness

The smell of pure adrenaline
Burning in the night
Random blinding flashes

Intro tape begins to roll
Igniting sonic rage

Curled up in the darkness
Searching for the light
The smell of sweat and shit
Steaming through the night
Random urine testing
Pills red, pink and blue
Counseling and therapy
Providing not a clue
Still they keep me between these hollow walls
Hoping to find in me
The answers to the test that stumped them all

VIII. Losing time / Grand finale
She dresses in black everyday
She keeps her hair simple and plain
She never wears makeup
But no one would care if she did anyway
She doesn't recall yesterday
Faces seem twisted and strange
But she always wakes up
Only to find she'd been miles away
Absence of awareness
Losing time
A lapse of perception
Losing time
Wanting to escape
She had created a way to survive
She learned to detach from herself
A behavior that kept her alive
Hope in the face of our human distress
Helps us to understand the turbulence deep inside
That takes hold of our lives
Shame and disgrace over mental unrest
Keeps us from saving those we love
The grace within our hearts
And the sorrow in our souls
Deception of fame
Vengeance of war
Lives torn apart
Losing oneself
Spiraling down
Feeling the walls closing in
A journey to find
The answers inside
Our illusive mind
