Velocity of Sound

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
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

In the moonlight I see my memories
in a new light, they seem so real to me
I remember, you know I remember

And the starlight tripping in the sky
come on, we can still go there tonight
I remember, you know I remember

We haven't changed
we just feel a little strange
we haven't changed
we're just a little bit deranged

In the moonlight I think about the past
and in hindsight, I knew it wouldn't last
I remember, you know I remember

And the starlight skipping on the bay
come on, we can still go there today
I remember, you know I remember

We haven't changed
we just feel a little strange
we haven't changed
we're just a little bit deranged

In the moonlight I see my memories
I realize I need you here with me
I remember, you know I remember

We haven't changed
we just feel a little strange
we haven't changed
we're just a little bit deranged
