Understand It Video (MV)

Eager hand shot toward the rafters Sunday afternoon
A child's curiosity, you know how it consumes
A question bright and innocent
But blasphemous in nature
Is swiftly met with ridicule and excessive anger
The only answer for the child
"For that's how he commands it
You are only human, you cannot understand it"

First match struck from out that box
Would burn a wicked flame
Wanting truthful answers
Without the knowing pains
I cast aside my empathy
With the Ten Commandments
To analyze the world I saw
So I could understand it

Cassiopeia glittered north
Beyond the great divide
And each tiny thing enraging me
Was small against that sky
If they were small then I was small
I took that thought and banned it
And shrank the universes size
So I could understand it

I wrecked every portrait and every sympathetic view
To cast myself into a dark where I was misconstrued
And in the end do respect the reason I began it
To bench myself in my own life
So I could understand it

Does richness live in greatness or does richness live in heart
If variance means vulnerable
I've gotten a false start
I squandered the most precious thing that I was ever handed
When I gave up living in the world
So I could understand it
