[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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'

[Chorus]
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
Misunderstood
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
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'

[Chorus]
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
Misunderstood

[Instrumental Outro]
