Do You Understand

Looking in the looking glass

is that a person there?

his face is drawn his eyes are downcast

in the distant past

is there a lesson there?

the lesson is it ain't gonna last

If I had my day

I'd burn down the factories

that sicken me and make the weather gray

if I had my way

I'd tear down the memories

I'm chicken and I wanna run away

Hey there do you understand

why I hold a dagger in my hand?

hey there do you understand

why I hold a trigger in my hand?

Upon distant sands

the waves fall heavily

feels heavy like my head in my hands

what I don't understand

you keep calling back on me

you kick me out yet you keep me in demand

The other day you looked the other way

hey, hey I need to get away

the other day you looked the other way

hey hey you tried to get away
