Endless Sacrifice Lyrics

Dream Theater

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 we 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

There are so many instances in Dream Theater's lyrics where I think, "Wouldn't it have been better to say THIS?" For example, instead of "So that I could live out this undying dream", wouldn't it sound better to say, "So that I could pursue this enduring dream?" Also, the line "we try to make sense of surviving together while living apart" doesn't make sense. "Surviving" is a poor choice of words there. It would make more sense to say, "we try to make sense of staying together while living apart." Also, the reference to "a child who's run away" doesn't fit in the context of the song.
