Periscope

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

Her I go

Hanging on to my only hope

I'm looking through my periscope
