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 5 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 [05:47]
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
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) [04:04]
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 [06:01]
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
