Vigilante

I’ve got an itchy trigger finger
I’ve got darkness in my heart
I’m a heartless vigilante
Just dying to do my part
To keep the good folks safe and sound
From hooded thugs like you
I don’t like the way you look, boy
So, it’s something I must do
I’m a self-appointed lawman
I’m a madman with a gun
I don’t need a goddamn reason
I’ll kill you just for fun
Because white is right and you are wrong
For being in this place
So, beg me as I shoot you
Wipe that smirk off of your face
I can murder for no reason
Never know, I might again
For my paranoid suspicions
Or the color of your skin
And I’ll walk away protected
By the laws that let you down
And more like me are waiting
For a chance in your hometown

Stream - February 15

It’s a burden, but I own it

I really wouldn’t change a thing

But my mind in the beginning

Long before I felt the sting

It’s the price for so much passion

And admission of the guilt

But I’m more than a spectator

In the cages I have built

I’m the prince who’s now a pauper

But a jester all the while

In the company of rulers

I confuse them with my smile

All the knowledge I’ve been given

All the sadness I have seen

Might drive another man insane

Or make him cold and mean

But the pilgrim knows his burden

Like the singer knows the song

Where the notes rise up to meet him

As he tries to carry on
