Beneath the Surface - Dream Theater

Is there ever really a right time?

You had led me to believe

Someday you’d be there for me

When the stars above align

When you weren’t so consumed

I kept looking for the clues

So I waited in the shadows of my heart

And still the time was never right

Until one day I stopped caring

And began to forget why I longed to be so close

And I disappeared into the darkness

And the darkness turned to pain and never went away

Until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface

A shell of what things could have been

Tired bones beneath the veil

Of guarded secrets all too frail

Sad to think I never knew

You were searching for the words

For the moment to emerge

Yet the moment never came

You couldn’t risk my fragile frame

I would scream just to be heard

As if yelling at the stars

I was bleeding just to feel

You would never say a word

Kept me reaching in the dark

Always something to conceal

Beneath the surface
