Jehst – 1979 Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- 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 heavy neck connected by a bolt
- 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
Verse 2
- 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
