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
