Understand 03:52
When they agreed Oh no harm you would do them When they did not Well you passed your knife through them Those were the years Oh how blindly were you walking And in that time They stopped listening to your talking Understand They could never Understand Try forever Understand (Mmmm) And now we're traveling through the forest Heading nowhere The leaves are at our feet They're slowing us down here Understand They could never Understand Try forever Understand When they agreed Oh no harm you would do them When they did not Well you passed your knife through them Those were the years Oh how blindly were you walking And in that time They stopped listening to your talking Understand They could never Understand Try forever Understand
