Dream Theater - Losing Time / Grand Finale lyrics

Lyrics by John Petrucci Music written by John Myung, John Petrucci, Mike Portnoy, and Jordan Rudess 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 detatch form 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 withing 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
