1st Degree - Misunderstood [05:13]
  music by Myung, Petrucci, Portnoy, Rudess
  lyrics by John Petrucci

  Waiting
  In the calm of desolation
  Wanting to break
  From this circle of confusion

  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
