I’m stuck in a bubble of misunderstanding and mistrust
Because of some rumours that burst to the crust
The lava is burning the entire ground
I’m stuck amidst the smoke, clarity nowhere to be found.
Am I the one at fault, am I the one in the wrong
My hopes crushing away the dreams that I longed.
Hard as a rock but being shattered on the inside.
Do I keep hiding in the shadows or trying to shower light
Surrounded by eyes that are constantly on the watch?
Yet I’m yearning to be seen, little steps, hopscotch.
Sympathy and compassion, together with trust
Strong as iron, ferric oxide, is it starting to rust?
This web of confusion entangles me, I’m stuck in twilight.
How does it benefit me? Why would I lie?
When the world’s black or white, I’m stuck in shades of grey
No one around me, all alone, I’m left astray.
Our bonds, covalent to hydrogen, from strongest to weakest
They aren’t doing anything wrong but why do I feel cheated?
Do I surrender it all, consider it my faith
It’s gonna have an impact till 2028.
I’m going to stick to my ground, I can’t be misunderstood
All the clarification didn’t do any good.
Guess this rumour is something that you all abide.
Oh I guess I’ll step back, coz I have my pride.
All this chaos coz of one misunderstanding.
A flight needs to take off before the landing.
I really tried to do everything I could.
But that’s just the art of being misunderstood.
