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
