Misunderstood

Misunderstood, are we
to find a way
to understand, compromise
Exhausted thoughts worn out
of wearing a ring that never fit quite right

never shined bright enough for me
once sworn beauty now haunts thee
the dark shadow that has crept far behind
shrieks closer as it is I it shall find

Misunderstood, my speech, a barrier
between two worlds separating right from wrong
Misunderstood, my speech, a barrier
between two worlds separating right from wrong

You preach to the mirror to make it better
to cover your ears, to close your eyes
pretend, escape, create
get out of the past
and leave that place behind

There's nothing left
No where else to hide
Stop making up shit for you to decide
Which way to go with me
Confused to death why can't you see!
