"Do You Understand?" lyrics

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
