Misunderstood

Dream Theater · Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence [2002]

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

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
