Misunderstood — Dream Theater

3rd Degree - Misunderstood [09:34] music by Myung, Petrucci, Portnoy, Rudess lyrics by John Petrucci

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
