---

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 and 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.
