Periscope

Somedays I walk undetected I become the shadow of my shadow Away from the stares of the judging eyes I feel the world through my periscope Periscope, periscope And I escape all Hiding in my maze of lenses A single eye The only testament for a fading life For a fading life, for a fading life Confined to the limits of who I've become A battle that I wage in silence Consumed by the harshness of the dos and donts My periscope the contact with it all Periscope, periscope And I see it all From a safe distance I explore A single eye Looking for the sun to dry its tears To dry its tears, dry its tears Destined to live on the margins of my life Out of touch with everything and everyone Front and center of a movie from another world Behind the crystals of my periscope Periscope, periscope
