By a charming and eccentric loving father
She was praised as the perfect teenage girl
And everyone thought highly of her

With endless drive
To make the grade
Then one day
She woke up to find
The perfect girl
Had lost her mind

[III. War Inside My Head]

There is always room for improvement, Please send us your comments
Napalm showers
Showed the cowards
We weren't there to mess around

 
Through heat exhaustion
And mind distortion
A military victory mounted on innocent ground

Hearing voices from miles away
Saying things never said
Seeing shadows in the light of the day
Waging a war inside my head

 
Years and years of
Bloodshed and warfare
Our mission was only to get in and kill

 
A free vacation
Of palm trees and shrapnel
Trading innocence for permanent psychotic hell

 
Hearing voices from miles away
Saying things never said
Seeing shadows in the light of the day
Waging a war inside my head

--------------------
Feeling strangers staring my way
Reading minds never read
Tasting danger with each word I say
Waging the war inside my head

 
[IV. The Test That Stumped Them All]

 
Standing in the darkness
Waiting for the light
The smell of pure adrenaline
Burning in the night

 
Random blinding flashes
Aiming at the stage
Intro tape begins to roll
Igniting sonic rage

--------------------
Still they keep me between these hollow walls
Hoping to find in me
The answers to the test that stumped them all

 
"The boy is just simply crazy
Suffering from delusions
We honestly think that maybe
He might need an institution

 
He lives in a world of fiction
And really could use some help
We have just the place to fix him
To save him from himself"

 
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

 
"We can't seem to find the answers
He seemed such a clear cut case
We cannot just let him leave here
And put all this work to waste

 
Why don't we try shock treatment
It really might do some help
We have just the tools to fix him
To save him from himself"

[V. Goodnight Kiss]

 
Goodnight kiss in your nightgown
Lavender in your bed
So innocent as you lie down
Sweet dreams that run through your head

 
Are you lonely without Mommy's love?
I want you to know I'd die for that moment
You're just a poor girl
Afraid of this cruel world
Taken away from it all

 
It's been five years to the day and
My tainted blood's still the same
I can't help acting this way and
Those bastard doctors are gonna pay

--------------------
I'm so lonely without baby's love
I want you to know I'd die for one more moment
I'm just a poor girl
Afraid of this cruel world
Taken away from it all

 
[VI. Solitary Shell]

 
He seemed no different from the rest
Just a healthy normal boy
His mama always did her best
And he was daddy's pride and joy

 
He learned to walk and talk on time
But never cared much to be held
And steadily he would decline
Into his solitary shell

 
Advertisement
--------------------
As a boy he was considered somewhat odd
Kept to himself most of the time
He would daydream in and out of his own world
But in every other way he was fine

 
He's a Monday morning lunatic
Disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself
In his solitary shell

 
A temporary catatonic
Madman on occasion
When will he break out
Of his solitary shell

 
He struggled to get through his day
He was helplessly behind
He poured himself onto the page
Writing for hours at a time

--------------------
As a man he was a danger to himself
Fearful and sad most of the time
He was drifting in and out of sanity
But in every other way he was fine

 
He's a Monday morning lunatic
Disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself
In his solitary shell

 
A momentary maniac
With casual delusions
When will he be let out
Of his solitary shell

 
[VII. About To Crash (Reprise)]

--------------------
I'm alive again
The darkness far behind me
I'm invincible
Despair will never find me

 
I feel strong
I've got a new sense of elation
Boundless energy
Euphoria fixation

 
Still it's hard to just get by
It seems so meaningless to try
When all I want to do is cry
Who would ever know I felt so sad

 
Even though I get so high
I know that I will never fly
And when I fall out of the sky
Who'll be standing by

Will you be standing by

 
[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
