Misunderstood

"Misunderstood"
Dream Theater

Waiting
In the calm of desolation
Wanting to break
From this circle of confusion.

Sleeping
In the depths of isolation
Trying to wake
From this daydream of illusion.

How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me?
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me?
How can I know so many never really knowing anyone?

If I seem superhuman I have been misunderstood.

It challenges the essence of my soul
And leaves me in a state of disconnection
As I navigate the maze of self control.

Playing a lion being led to a cage
I turn from a thief to a beggar
From a god to God save me.

How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me?
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me?
How can I know so many never really knowing anyone?

If I seem superhuman I have been misunderstood.

Playing a lion being led to a cage
I turn from surreal to seclusion
From love to disdain
From belief to delusion
From a thief to a beggar
From a god to God save me.

How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me?
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me?
How can I know so many never really knowing anyone?

If I seem superhuman I have been misunderstood.
