[Verse 1, Jehst] In my eye the serpent's apple We battle nature I spy danger in the big top A circus of thieves Parodies of hip-hop on the magical Mystery tour I make a pit stop reflection My train of thought misfits connection With a reality Taking it's cue from the movies that Traumatised or died trying to find the booby trap That'll be the death of me Nothing left of me But an effigy Jehst communicating through telepathy [Verse 2, Lexis] The [? entered] my house and never left I felt short of breath, my life's left my [heart bereft?] And cascades of past thoughts are minor trauma A broken language, torn throat cords and clear water I see solar system scriptures and future writings lost by the divine Black wine intertwined and take my mind Over [?] landscapes I elevate Bring meaning to where there is none Sulphur to your system Blue blood [?] cranial crucifixion My [?] red diction I saw yellow eyes and a crown of thorns in your fiction So who's your shadow? Your self [?] Wanderlust [?] Red dormant sky in the physical [?] [?] As life pass by I'm [?] I feel your pain [Verse 3, Jehst] Informally scorned from nonconformity You can't hear Even if I speak clearly And audibly Orally Mastering my sanity Fuck Father Time, I'm the bastard in the family Finding immortality Finding Comedy in tragedy In order To live with the chaos On the border of life and death Every breath is a seance that connects Empathy, energy, sex Blood, sweat, and tears Fears manifest Years pass Fallen stars laid to rest [Dear?] depart to the next Clear a path for my red eyed spars We'll [be a rebel?] Turning around staring dead at death [B-boys?] either turn right-wing or left, no less Than a time now faded, I'm past jaded When I brings success have you bought it or made it? I can't Forfeit creativity because I crave it Progress unaided My desire I obeyed it The slave blessed As firm favourite in the rat race A cartoon scenario where cats chase Not so merry-go-round Of black humour Abstract like a rumour Soon to find your doom to live lunar Soon to find your doom to live... [Verse 4, Lexis] I charge on a pale white horse and throw red stars I wanna write fiction as strange as the world I live in No sooner is the ink dried than it revolts me So to transcend the past and present is to be Real to me What is no more real to me Than the vision I had of 21 Angels drinking [?] liquid [?] the pains of my eyelid Pools of acid rip the flesh and take my language And while the moon[?] subdues the future I subdue the savage desire To quell the burning fires So I can liberate the red Armies disarm me of golden stars and crimson flames Led to me [?] But while the cup half empty [?] And pass through the spectrum of tranquillity [?] pass through the spectrum of tranquillity [?] [Verse 5, Jehst] Far too poetic So dig a grave for my prophetic soul The thought of freedom making slaves energetic I hold At my [?] go pure I won't let it go though My academic [?] I'm flawed Caught between a schizophrenic and a chemical imbalance that Separate states of mind And Character traits like space and time And [Rotate] [Sands?] chase the blind man To meet the reaper Yet lead the all seeing to eternity And if seeing is believing then with certainty I see the divine being as me Defining life Providing creativity And when I cry I cry Shakespeare's imagery For your fake tears I hold no sympathy Empathy 21st century legendary pedigree Bred to continue the legacy of guidance and tuition I am science fiction Super star part of astrological prediction Living clichéd Your storyline's glorified scavenger The same old bloodlust[?] The same stock character My cataclysm Is the missing link between man and rhythm Rhyme and reason Paper, bullet, ammunition May the disciplined read between my mannerisms It's duck season The hunted understand my vision [Verse 6, Lexis] I'm transfixed! By shadows on my wall playing mind tricks! I've got one vision Like television with no remote control I curse the day that Angel came took my soul [Carpe diem?] [?] For freedom like a raindrop [?] I grasp it But then I cut my hands on razors And [?] saves us Like the Earth and Sun battling for space I battle for my former self [?] [?] to shape my mental health I'm lost in neon Pursued by the local drug store cowboy I'm just a young boy To [be up in] dreams schemes electric [?] [?] Epileptic I'm liquid hypertension Paradise lost in purple [?] I'm baptised by fortified revelation And if I wake may I see with clarity The whole world will see what God means to me Serenity But in defeat I slip down to envy with my soul below water I can hardly see
