Periscope

Think I'm going to need some help In the days to come My neighbors are watching the house In case I do a bad thing They think I've lost it They avoid me like the plague And take the long way around me In case they catch what I've got And I'm sorry if I So sorry if it's treason but it seems Everybody I know (everybody I know) Is glued to a screen (is glued to a screen) And they're all following someone But the only one following me Is my shadow (shadow) And I can't stop looking at the sky (can't stop looking) I can't stop looking at the sky (can't stop looking) I've been looking for a way out But I think I've found a way in Silence is the golden rule (I've given up thinking) Silence is the golden rule (I've given up thinking) Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah I'm tired of coming second And never being right I'm sick of always being The speck of darkness in the light And when they shut schools And when the mob rules I'll set up in the basement And build a periscope And I'll board up all the windows Put cameras on the roof And deny everything I stood for Grew hair and grew up for So they can't Blow a hole in the truth Blow a hole in the truth I'll watch the books burn And keep my mouth shut And play a never-ending kill game In my obsolete head I've given up breathing (I've given up sleeping) I've stopped believing And I wonder whose skies I've been watching All through this waste of a lifetime You know there'll never be a way out 'Cause the sky's always been looking at me Gold is the silent rule (we're not important anymore) Gold is the silent rule (how does it feel?) Hear that sound, read that sign It's the start of a whole new era And the end of mine I think I'm going to need some help I think I'm going to need some help I think I'm going to need some help I think I'm going to need some help I think I'm going to need some help I think I'm going to need some help I think I'm going to need some help I think I'm going to need some I think I'm going to need some I think I'm going to need some help Help Help me Help me-me-me-me-me-me I think I'm going to need some help
