Long past

She can't stop pacing
She never felt so alive
Her thoughts are racing
Set on overdrive [Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - II About to Crash]

Innocence caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life in me
Still I longed to search for more [A Change of Seasons]

Past

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

Once barely taking a break
Now she sleeps the days away
She helplessly stands by
It's meaningless to try
All she wants to do is cry
No one ever knew she was so sad

Cause even though she gets so high
And thinks that she can fly
She will fall out of the sky [Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - II About to Crash]

This world is spinning around me
This world is spinning without me
Every day sends future to past
Every breath leaves one less to my last [Pull Me Under]

Ignorance surrounding me
I've never been so filled with fear
All my life's been drained from me
The end is drawing near.... [A Change of Seasons]

Present, Now

But in the face of misery
She found hopefulness
Feeling better
She had weathered
This depression

Much to her advantage
She resumed her frantic pace
Boundless power
Midnight hour
She enjoyed the race [Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - II About to Crash]

Pull me under pull me under
Pull me under Im not afraid
All that I feel in honor and spite
All I can do is set it right [Pull Me Under]

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying." [A Change of Seasons]

Future, Tomorrow.

I'm much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
run through my head
They taught me how
for better or worse, alive or dead
I realize there's no turning back
Life goes on the offbeaten track
I sit down with my son
Set to see the Crimson Sunset
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
Many years have come and gone
I've lived my life, but now must move on
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
He is my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my life is done
We look into the sun
'Seize the day and don't you cry,
Now it's time to say good-bye
Even though I'll be gone,
I will live on, live on.' [A Change of Seasons]
