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

They 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

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?

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

Looking in the looking glass, is that a person there?

His face is drawn his eyes are downcast

Upon distant sands the waves fall heavily

Feels heavy like my head in my hands

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?

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?

The other day, looked the other way

Tried to get away
