JEHST - Liquid Diction lyrics

rate me

This simple liquid diction that I dote on

Is only a thimble full of fluid from the emotional ocean

That I float on

Romantic notions I wrote on dead trees

I retrieve the scrolls and breathe below the dead sea-surface

Liquid lung, liquid tongue,

The traps that the serpent sets are swiftly sprung

Yet my heroes are still unsung

So I'm singing,

While all your hum-drum gunslinging

Didn't ring true

In the beginning you

Didn't think it through

Living in the zoo

Too much power abused by the few-you

Can lose your crew to the system

In the blink of an eye

I might not succeed but it's instinctive to try

To see my goals achieved before I die and if

My flow runs dry I'll rehydrate to dilate

The tiny mindstate of the primate descendant

Trend or no trend-independent

Defending the remnants of the long

Forgotten culture: of art, dance, and song,

I start to advance, become the norm, the new form;

The children of the corn become riders of the storm

When provided platforms for expression

This construction of percussion is an outlet

For aggression and discussion of direction

As I'm swept aside

I try to rise above it

But ascension is denied

I'm divided, tongue-tied and silent

I tried peace and quiet but these tyrants make me violent

Liquid diction

Inspired by the kyah I try to invoke ghostly spirits

I close my eyes hoping I dream of dope lyrics

During slumber, born under the sun of the summer

Now I'm waiting for the world-war

With the magic number to come

Bringing nuclear thunder-the drum

Is at one with my heart, the two halves of my sum

The fire and the sun separable to none

Unintelligible thoughts brought forth by forked tongues

It's only ever uttered under breath

Or out of ear-shot so we can't hear what's said

But fear not

I tread the righteous path through chaos

My medium this mic I pass through the sceance

I'm the spirit

You sense my presence then you're touched by my essence

I clutch the pad and pen

The chosen weapons when

I step into the arena

Hexed by my demons, blessed by Athena
