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
