This Day (feat. Gabriela Midday)

The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island
The screech owl also shall rest there and find for herself a place of rest

My being was conceived on LSD
Cocaine, marijuana, alcohol and nicotine
I seized this opportunity a chance to breathe
A momentary lapse of reason resulted in me

From the minute I attended the public educational system
I was different
The other kids they could sense this
Cuz I was a misfit exhausted and haunted
By terrorist thoughts of harming peers irregardless of consequences

But now I'm presently obsessively driven to prove that fact is fiction
A hatchet wielding masked magician consisting of sickness
Intense and independent dependent upon the instant
But institutional memories they stay quite unforgiving

Tomorrow the sorrow these wounds awaken with fire
Latent desire dissolves absolved and retired
And as I walk into this land beyond death
A moment exists where I wish for breath

As i walk into the valley
Of the shadow I will fear no evil
Cuz there's no God that faults me
Or crucifies me on the steeple
I've been through hell on earth already
Where the filthy feast upon the people
So as I walk into the valley
Of the shadow I will fear no evil

My sight line goes blind
I'm no longer the controller
My time is nigh
The stage needs another performer
The bright lights grow darker as my other takes over
Mother close your eyes don't need to see where I am going

I pass a cemetery just to bury my compassion
Throw ashes and broken glass into this open casket
I'm too late to placate your hate so I wait with bait
The day after
I have no master

Half good and evil
There's neither of either
Deceiver, the preacher the reaper the teacher
Crippled hypocritical seekers
Stay in your place saturate your face
I'll make haste replace all trace remain always

Is this road rage
Workspace with a 12 gauge
They're unsafe when I spray flame

In a grave I will lay and I will stay but by the end of this day
I'll be famous

As i walk into the valley
Of the shadow I will fear no evil
Cuz there's no God that faults me
Or crucifies me on the steeple
I've been through hell on earth already
Where the filthy feast upon the people
So as I walk into the valley
Of the shadow I will fear no evil

I'm a witness to this sickness but unable to stop my fun
Conscious to the responses when they're faced with a shotgun
I'm attempting to attempt that which was never accomplished
The consequence is a monument when a public's astonished
And yeah it feasts on frenzy
Tonight it's on your tv
Recount the tragedy
Read aloud the casualties
Speak about morality as if they know where to get some
During the closeup of victims evoking emotional symptoms

As i walk into the valley
Of the shadow I will fear no evil
Cuz there's no god that faults me
Or crucifies me on the steeple
I've been through hell on earth already
Where the filthy feast upon the people
So as I walk into the valley
Of the shadow I will fear no evil
