Beneath The Surface Lyrics - Singles - 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 hearth 

And still the time was never right 

Untill 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 

Until one day you stopped caring 

And began to forget why you tried to be so close 

And you disapperared 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 bleedind 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)
