Do You Understand?

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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?

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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?

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

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?

[Chorus]

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?

[Outro]

The other day, looked the other way

Tried to get away
