Dream Theater Beneath The Surface

Is there ever really a right time 
You had led me to believe 
Some day you would be there for me 

When the stars above aline 
When you weren't so concerned 
I kept looking for the clues 
So I waited in the shadows of my heart 
And the still the time was never right 

Until one day I stopped caring 
And began to forget why I long to be so close 
And I disappear into the darkness 
And the darkness turns to pain 
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 vail 
Of guarded secret are too frail 
Sad to think I ever 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 you 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 disappear into the darkness 
And the darkness turned to pain 
And never went away 
Until all that remained was buried 
Deep beneath the surface
