Espionage or, casually, spying involves a spy ring, government and company/firm or individual obtaining information considered secret or confidential without the permission of the holder of the information. Espionage is inherently clandestine, as it is by definition unwelcome and in many cases illegal and punishable by law. Espionage is a subset of "intelligence" gathering, which includes espionage as well as information gathering from public sources.
Espionage is often part of an institutional effort by a government or commercial concern. However, the term is generally associated with state spying on potential or actual enemies primarily for military purposes. Spying involving corporations is known as industrial espionage.
One of the most effective ways to gather data and information about the enemy (or potential enemy) is by infiltrating the enemy's ranks. This is the job of the spy (espionage agent). Spies can bring back all sorts of information concerning the size and strength of enemy forces. They can also find dissidents within the enemy's forces and influence them to defect. In times of crisis, spies can also be used to steal technology and to sabotage the enemy in various ways. Counterintelligence operatives can feed false information to enemy spies, protecting important domestic secrets, and preventing attempts at subversion. Nearly every country has very strict laws concerning espionage, and the penalty for being caught is often severe. However, the benefits that can be gained through espionage are generally great enough that most governments and many large corporations make use of it to varying degrees.
Will I hate tomorrow?
Will I hate what I can't see?
I'm doubting
Should I walk around it
Try to be what I can't be
I'm dying
I'm not happy any
I'm just not happy anymore
I'm drownin'
I'm not happy any
I'm just not happy anymore
I'm drownin'
Suppose you painted the castle of Auvers
But everything you did came alive
And if you painted all these things just to please me
And if you could read my mind
I would never be happy
What will change tomorrow?
In this sea within a sea
I'm blinded
How long will I be down?
I'm out of air I can not breath
I'm drownin'
I'm not happy any
I'm just not happy anymore
I'm drownin'
I'm not happy any
I'm just not happy anymore
I'm drownin'
I'm drownin'
I'm drownin'
Yeah well I'm, I'm drownin'
Yeah yeah I'm drownin'
