Certain Understanding

Grey Eye Glances

there you are

deflections of questions on who you are

you're not a knight at all are you Sir Lancelot I glance a lot

and by chance I got a few things right

didn't I

 

like how you bleed

and how you've turned to be

you say you know you feel

you say you know you feel

the pain in me

the water in my well

well it all fits and gels so slowly

 

tell me yet

if truth overcomes you

one regret is all I ask you since

with cameras gone

the instruments that could prove you wrong are miles and miles from here

 

so tell me now

and strike me down

you say you know you feel

you say you know you feel

a world of things

a world I long to see

so bring that place to me

right here

 

oh whatever

feel much better

mind the chatter

tapping out the rhythm of the

mindless mentor

what was spent for

my undoing

did you come to certain understandings then when we all looked uncertain

were you mending then

the pieces you found important

all the same

you still could have told me

or faced it more boldly

instead you just sold me

 

taste this now

a bit on the bitter side somehow

perhaps you could just add a little more of that yes, isn't that better

goes down smooth

but hey it's always best

when you can meet the cook

and sneak a look

 

you say you know you feel

you say you know you feel

the timing's off

well it's all the same to me

such an awful world to see

so clearly
