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
