Diatribe The Phantom Stranger - Graffiti On The Wall

The bedlam I was bred from
Has left a mess of breadcrumbs
Connecting lines on spectrums
That led to my confession
Redrum
Genocide, injecting minds with venom
If I ever let them catch up
And testify against the
Friends of mine that never lied instead of
Pretending like I'm special
They kept me tied and tethered
To bring me to their level
Right next beside the devil
I exercised discretion
Saw my exit and I stepped outside the threshold
But every time I let go
I wrestle my reflection
And I question my own echo
To rectify in retrospect
What's been resigned and settled
And recognize the rebel mind
And invested my potential
In an existential crisis, I was fighting with a sense of
Righteousness and mettle
A survivalist arriving in a viking ship like vessel
An Irishman with an iron fist
Arising in a fire pit to set you
Free from your environment of violence and oppression

Graffiti on the walls as the sun goes going down
Graffiti on the walls as the sun goes going down
Graffiti on the walls as the sun goes going down

What can I say, I'm just a vigilante
Committing villain antics with guerrilla tactics
Handwritten, kill the bastards
Until they hear me sing canary
The whistleblower choking in the coal mine
Looking backwards
It's the little things that still can scare me
When will they realize I did it for the children
But my convictions are conflicting clearly
And interfering
With my religious zeal
To defend the disadvantaged
Disappearing village families
The damage is done
And I'm not convinced that there's a simple answer
With a civil manner
Hand on a gun
And a clicking hammer
Shifting gears and inching nearer
To positions that my image mirrors
There's who I am and who you think I'm really
I'm merely a man
Trying to build a ladder
Bridge the gap and fill the chasm
Perhaps I'm guilty after being jilted badly
Of trying to tilt the balance to instill some values
Graffiti on the walls as the sun was going down who's
'Bout to pay the bounty for the crown jewels
In the county, in the town that I'm bound

Graffiti on the walls as the sun was going down
Graffiti on the walls as the sun was going down
Graffiti on the walls as the sun was going down

Graffiti on the wall
Graffiti on the wall
Graffiti on the wall
Graffiti on the wall
Graffiti on the wall
Graffiti on the wall
Graffiti on the wall

Run, didn't he run, didn't he run, didn't he run
One city, from one city, and one city, I come
You've done, diddley, done diddley, done diddley, done
Run, didn't he run, didn't he run, didn't he run
One city from one city, and one city I come
You've done, diddley, done diddley, done diddley, done

Run, didn't he run, didn't he run, didn't he run
One city, from one city, and one city, I come
You've done, diddley, done diddley, done diddley, done
Run, didn't he run, didn't he run, didn't he run
One city from one city, and one city I come

You've done, diddley, done diddley, done diddley, done
Run, didn't he run, didn't he run, didn't he run
