Dream Theater Endles Sacrifice lyrics

Cold, lying in my bed starring into darkness
Lost, I hear footsteps overhead and my thoughts return again
Like a child who's run away and won't be coming back
Time keeps passing by as night turns into day

I'm so far away and so alone
I need to see your face
To keep me same, to make me whole

Try to stay alive until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind, someone tell me why
I chose this life, this superficial lie
Constant compromise, endless sac sacrifice

Pain, it saddens me to know, the helplessness you feel
Your light shines on my soul, while a thousand candles burn
Outside this barren room, the rain is pouring down
The emptiness inside is growing deeper still

You're so far away and so alone
You long for love's embrace
To keep you same, to make you whole

Try to stay alive until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind, someone tell me why

I chose this life, this superficial lie
Constant compromise, endless sacrifice

Moments wasted, isolated
Time escaping, endless sacrifice
Moments wasted, isolated
Time escaping, endless sacrifice

Over the distance we try to make sense
Of surviving together, while living apart
Striving for balance, we rise to the challenge
Of staying connected in spite of circumstance

All you've forsaken and all that you've done
So that I could live out this undying dream
Won't be forgotten or taken for granted
I'll always remember your endless sacrifice

Moments wasted, isolated
Time escaping, endless sacrifice
Moments wasted, isolated
Time escaping, endless sacrifice
