Dream Theater - Misunderstood Lyrics
Lyrics written by John PetrucciMusic written by John Myung, John Petrucci,Mike Portnoy, and Jordan RudessWaitingIn the calm of desolationWanting to breakFrom this circle of confusionSleepingIn the depths of isolationTrying to wakeFrom this daydream of illusionHow can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds meHow can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around meHow can I know so manyNever really knowing anyoneIf I seem superhumanI have beenMisunderstoodIt challenges the essence of my soulAnd leaves me in a state of disconnectionAs I navigate the maze of self controlPlaying a lion being led to a cageI turn from a thief to a beggarFrom a god to God save meHow can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds meHow can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around meHow can I know so manyNever really knowing anyoneIf I seem superhumanI have beenMisunderstoodPlaying a lion being led to a cageI turn from surreal to seclusionFrom love to disdaidFrom belief to delusionFrom a thief to a beggarFrom a god to God save meHow can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds meHow can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around meHow can I know so manyNever really knowing anyoneIf I seems superhumanI have beenMisunderstood
