Beneath The Surface

Dream Theater - Beneath The Surface

[Music and Lyrics by John Petrucci]

Is there ever really a right time? - You had led me to believe - Someday you'd be there for me

When the stars above aligned - 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've been - Tired bones beneath a 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

Until one day you stopped caring - And began to forget why I tried to be so close

And you disappeared into the darkness - And the darkness turned to pain - And never went away

Until all that remained was buried, deep beneath the surface

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

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

Beneath the surface
