* back                                                       * Next      

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
