People get shocked when I arrive To this wheelchair I am chained But my mind's alive trapped in this broken shell Trying to control my spasms While my dribble stains my clothes And my eyes are begging "please take my hand" I only need understanding, I am not dead yet I don't wanna be shut in myself, I wanna run away I am trying to express myself but my mouth won't say a word I would like to stand up shouting my name If only I could understand why god did this to me? A misdrawn caricature that's what I am I only need understanding, I am not dead yet I don't wanna be shut in myself, I wanna run away You can see the same again, people are pitying me My life lies in others' hands like a puppet without strings I'm completely useless, but they're keeping me alive Who cares about what I do? If my fate's already sealed I think they must let me follow my way I only need understanding, I am not dead yet I don't wanna be shut in myself, I wanna run away You can see the same again, people are pitting me Am I dreaming? Am I dead? All my thoughts are sinking into the void I can stand up, now I can explain All I've felt throughout this endless pain I am falling into the unknown Darkness never seemed so bright before For this poison, I have to thank The friendly hand that finally freed my soul
