Do You Understand?

Looking in the looking gla*s 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
