Shallow Lyrics by Mark Watt

Planets

2024

[Verse 1]
Endlessly misunderstood for so long
I wish I could've known
Why I was why so different
Maybe it would
Have freed me from these chains

[Break]
Phantom
You are a phantom
A phantom behind the mask

Can no one
Even see me
For who I am

[Chorus]
If I can speak
If I can feel
Then it's for all of you to see
But something's buried beneath
And it is hollow

Is there no time
For me to find
The forest through the burning trees
I'm diving in the deep blue sea
But it is shallow

[Verse 2]
How will I know
Know what to do
I feel so exhausted to just be like you
An unknown language
Words in hieroglyphs
I couldn't understand no matter how much I read

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not getting thе feeling you know me at all
I can't tell your intentions, thе dream that you sold

[Chorus]
If I can speak
If I can feel
Then it's for all of you to see
But something's buried beneath
And it is hollow

Is there no time
For me to find
The forest through the burning trees
I'm diving in the deep blue sea
But it is shallow

[Bridge]
I can hear you
But it's hard to focus
The crowd is an accomplice

It's overwhelming
It's about to break
Down I go
The battery's empty


[Chorus]
If I can speak
If I can feel
Then it's for all of you to see
But something's buried beneath
And it is hollow

Is there no time
For me to find
The forest through the burning trees
I'm diving in the deep blue sea
But it is shallow

[Break]
Phantom
You are a phantom
A phantom behind the mask

Can no one
Even see me
For who I am
