1979

I bleed liquid gold and slur speech in a cryptic code

My feet slipping on this twisted road

Only the mystic knows the lone figure in the distance

No bigger than the sum of his inscriptions

Or the extent of his conviction

I sip vitamin enriched liquid diction

And digest fiction for culture

I'm force fed, behold the monster

My head and it connected by bulb

Tryna hold things together like the skins I fold

And take my food for thought with a pinch of salt

Chewed to form, my sin results in self doubt

Look into my eyes, I don't need to spell it out

You can see it, how I tripped and fell down

And picked myself up, turned myself round

From the cliff's edge, and staggered home like a misled

Piss head, and put up a fight till my fists bled

I choke on lead, until my spit's red

When I step outside to get a quick breath

Of fresh death, now there's no air left

And fifty percent of us couldn't care less

I bare flesh, exposed to the cancerous

Light like tearing the film out your cameras

I'm still ravenous, I feel my stomach acid

Keep burning as I work towards another classic

Melt your plastic chap, snatch your comfort blanket

In this cold world you're naked and unattractive

And your tactics are underhanded

I hibernate through the winter, and wait for the summer madness

Call me the dirty ?, feet is on the couch

Stout on my breath and a bad case of desert mouth

Forever drown in my pain in the pleasant sound

Of whispered words and rainfall on level ground

Gagged and bound with no hope of getting out

Save the secrets and lies, I'm tryna settle down

But like the weather now, I'm unpredictable

My hate's bitter but my love's unconditional

Living in this digital age, these are strange days

My rage taints, but freed on the same page

I make waves, till I wash away the refuge

God of the sea, these are the eight wings of Neptune

I make moves to refuge, but don't sleep

And walk the streets, with a rose in my teeth

And a bittersweet song in my heart, I take heavy steps

The hard-headed Jehst climbs his own Everest

So till the very end, I won't ever rest

I'll serenade my angel with every breath

God sends, your remembrance of lost friends

Whenever my top ten drops, I'll know what went on then

Provokes me to focus ahead

Close my eyes and get close to the dead

I'm the ghost that's meant to be released from limbo

Between two worlds like the thief at the window
