Under the surface
Behind these walls
This is where I'm hiding
hiding from the world
This armoured vessel
This steel can
is my home
And I can't get out
and no one can get in
No more
will you see me again
And oh
I'll never see
the light of day
And I know
I've been under
so under so long
Hanging on
to my only hope
When I feel that I
just can't cope
I'm looking through
my periscope
In a shallow environment
I've been taught to live
but I always wondered
what was in the deep
Trapped in the indecision
of which way to go
Where it's safe and home
or where no one has gone
Oh
I don't know
why I don't
get along
Got too much energy
but I still belong
to a world where all my
questions are wrong
And they won't ever
understand me so
Hanging on to my
only hope
Still looking through
my periscope
I have a question
I would like to ask
to who's ever listening
to myself
Does everything
that you give
come back to you
And if nothing's offered
you might as well be dead
Oh no
I have a lot
more to give
But I don't
Don't know
how to let it out
let it show
Not even
to the people I know
so here I go
Here I go
Hanging on to my
only hope
I'm looking through
my periscope
