Certain Understandings Lyrics

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
