Beneath the Surface

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Keyboard Solo]

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Beneath the surface
