lyrics

the mood in my home's changed, they've turned the backdrop strange, given me new plants and plans for furniture to rearrange
you'll spend your life down here learning how one disappears
the window's just a portal to an artificial atmosphere
they say the air's too sharp and the sun is too severe, it's much safer living bored under the water here
meeting people's strained, it just can't quite be the same - they can't really here your voice it's just the telecom relay
they promised crystal blue; i see a murky green
they can't tell us quite what's going on, no one's to know it seems
they say blame it on the past, the world has come to what we feared
but man there's no way i can make it under water here
