Misunderstood (Edited Version)

Dream Theater

Waiting
In the calm of desolation
Wanting to break
From this circle of confusionSleeping
In the depths of isolation
Trying to wake
From this daydream of illusionHow 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 anyoneIf I seem superhuman
I have been
MisunderstoodIt challenges the essence of my soul
And leaves me in a state of disconnection
As I navigate the maze of self controlPlaying a lion being led to a cage
I turn from a thief to a beggar
From a god to God save meHow 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 anyoneIf I seem superhuman
I have been
MisunderstoodPlaying 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 meHow 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 anyoneIf I seem superhuman
I have been
Misunderstood
