Lyrics Misunderstood - Seether

Misunderstood

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
