Lyrics: 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
