Dream Theater - Endless Sacrifice lyrics

Cold lying in my bed
Staring 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 sane
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 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 sane
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!
