Verse 1:
Standing away from the start but far from the finish
No strength to speak or ask for help, but understand the way it starts to diminish
Friendships elude the consistently different stance of the misunderstood
Misunderstand the subtlety of the everyday talk of others who are alien to the necessity of consistency
I did not know that's what you meant when you said that, but I should
Viewpoint of the ignorant, forever believing this position is outgrown by all but the most famous
Spread the understanding and lessen the penalty for the diagnosis
Keep the word of the few, word of the blessed, heard, not misunderstood
People think having a lesser form of a serious mental imprisonment would soften the blow
It don't
Chorus:
Misunderstood from the start
Wonder how I can be so good at my art
Stand by my side but secretly judge
Misunderstood
{repeat 3 times}
Verse 2:
Sleep lets the dreams make it seem normal, or at least partly
The problems apparent in the day are gone at night, hardly
The lonely vigil of the lifelong, chosen loner destined to hold a solitary flame
Never let the light within go out, trapped within
Never allowed out, never allowed to fit it
Feel the same
Neither the security nor the incessent nagging of the mind can leave the pain of misunderstanding dull
Focus on one thing at the expense of everything else, it helps get chastised to the full
Break the walls down and feel vulnerable, but time will build them back up
Talk the little words that you can, but if you want to keep friends, it's never enough
Chorus x1
Verse 3:
Misunderstandings are common
When the resonance is depleted by an inability to summon
Courage, words or social prowess
Elevated hurt from the insignificant words from the mouths of the lowest
Those that see difference and pick it out, ostracised
Any understanding, whether moral or social, has to be improvised
Misunderstandings lead to upset feelings
Upset feelings lead to hurt attacks on those evil creatures
Laughing at the helpless, those held down, and never offer help when they could, nether mind the fact that they should
But they don't want to help the misunderstood
Chorus x2
