Misunderstood - Seether

Every time you stand up

Ready for your closeup

I keep wondering

How it’s all supposed to be

This is gonna blow up

Storming in a teacup

I’ll keep swimming

Steadily against the stream

You don’t even heed me

Treat me as an enemy

See me as a failure

And see me as dumb

You don’t even need me

Keep it all in harmony

I am disappointment

And I am no fun

How could this be misunderstood

No one will tell you

Why they smile as they berate you

They keep saying it’s gonna be fine

No one will help you

As they constantly sedate you

They keep killing the grape on the vine

Singing your own praises

Constantly amazes

I don’t wanna hear the words

You’re saying to me

How can I rephrase this

You’re all rats in mazes

Constantly you’re fighting

Over scraps of the cheese

Observing all your weakness

Puddles have more deepness

Empty vessels clamoring across the sea

Revel in your genius

Eating clean and needless

I’ll be in the corner

With my dignity

How could this be misunderstood

No one will tell you

Why they smile as they berate you

They keep saying it’s gonna be fine

No one will help you

As they constantly sedate you

They keep killing the grape on the vine
