I Know

Words: Eric / Music: Eric and Dachshund

Hold your tongue
don’t let those words come out
your mouth

Hold on to
those thoughts that lay in your head
my child

And I know
how hard it is
I know
how hard it is

I know
that you wanna run
but you’re bound here
I know
that it’s hard
but you can’t say a thing

Stand by
steady your arm
you must take aim

Focus on
the task at hand
you must pull the trigger

And I know
how hard it is
I know
how hard it is

I know
that you wanna run
but you’re bound here
I know
that it’s hard
but you can’t say a thing
