Life Imitating Art

[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
