Never Understood

I dreamt that I lived in a house on the hill

My mother would wait for my brains to spill

I don't remember all of the sunny days

She kept me from seeing how things went my way

I'd run around the room for hours and hours

Looking for something that I could devour

The world's much better if you don't know it exists

Throw stones at my bones or break them with sticks

I used to be a little boy

I used to have some little toys

But now I've changed and change is good

I don't think you ever understood

Never understood

I dreamt that you were trapped in the hospital

They had brought me in so I could watch you lull

The good years, the bad months, the hot days the wind

To keep me from seeing how these things just sink in

I'd run around the halls for hours and hours

Looking for someone that I could devour

The world's much better if you are looking outside

Throw stones at my bones so I have reasons to hide

I used to be a little boy

I used to have some little toys

But now I've changed and change is good

I don't think you ever understood

Never understood

Locked inside a room for a week

The world starts looking pretty bleak

Don't ever bite the hand that feeds

You never know what you might need
