- Who Understands Me but Me - verse 1 part
They turn the water off, so I live without water; they build walls higher, so I live without treetops; they paint the windows black, so I live without sunshine; they lock my cage, so I live without going anywhere; they take each last tear I have, so I live without tears; they take my heart and rip it open, so I live without my heart; they take my life and crush it, so I live without a future; they say I am beastly and fiendish, so I have no friends...

- Who understands me but me - verse 1 part
... they stop up each hope, so I have no passage out of hell, they give me pain, so I live with pain, they give me hate, so I live with my hate, they have changed me, and I am not the same man, they give me no shower, so I live with my smell, they separate me from my brothers, so I live without brothers, who understands me when I say this is beautiful? Who understands me when I say I have found other freedoms?
