From the recording CHAMBER MUSIC
Lyrics
THIS DAY IS MINE
Throw this monkey wrench into the gears
The machine has been working me for years
Crushing me beneath the wheels unrelenting grinding squealing
While I have some shred of soul I am taking back control
It’s time to totally reduce all the pain that’s been produced
And I’m sorry everyone for the suffering this will cause
But my eyes are finally open and it’s time for me to take pause
The meaning of life is to give life meaning and I’ve only been deceiving
All of you and worse myself
The day has come for something else
I have everything and I don’t want it
All these things they only pull me down
I have everything and it gives me nothing
All I need is a reason to go on
Stagnation is the loss of spark and I’ve been living in the dark
Every day is like the one before and each night punishes more
Look into an eternal black I could give in or turn back
Please forgive me but I must go
And I must do this alone
This day is mine
