8. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence VIII. Losing Time / Grand Finale (6:00)
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
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
