Beneath The Surface
Is there ever really a right timeYou had led me to believeSomeday you'd be there for meWhen the stars above alignWhen you weren't so consumedI kept looking for the cluesSo I waited in the shadows of my heartAnd still the time was never right
Until one day I stopped caringAnd began to forget why I longed to be so closeAnd I disappeared into the darknessAnd the darkness turned to pain and never went awayUntil all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface
A shell of what things could have beenTired bones beneath the veilOf guarded secrets all too frailSad to think I never knewYou were searching for the wordsFor the moment to emergeYet the moment never cameYou couldn't risk my fragile frame
Until one day you stopped caringAnd began to forget why you tried to be so closeAnd you disappeared into the darknessAnd the darkness turn to pain and never went awayUntil all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface
I would scream just to be heardAs if yelling at the starsI was bleeding just to feelYou would never say a wordKept me reaching in the darkAlways something to conceal
Until one day I stopped scaringAnd began to forget why I longed to be so closeAnd I disappeared into the darknessAnd the darkness turned to pain and never went awayUntil all that remained was buried deep beneath the surfaceBeneath the surface
