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 at 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 whoever's 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
