lyrics

CECIL
Put the pistols on your sides / the hood, the nickel-plated knuckles / duffle bags with our disguises (no surprises) / Just a simple way to pummel, rumble, mosh with human nature / Step in the fog and view the carnage / Labors of bloodlust / We combust / We’re sun struck / No room for dumb luck / she’s not my lady tonight / You pay me the price; we’re taking a life, like right now / We’re ravens of the night prowling / howling with the wind / and yes we’re moving in, in on the kill / Definitive thrill rides / We’re living unlimited til time… takes us from the living kind / We’re anxious and we’re gripping time / by its throat and choking every minute we can squeeze and bleed from it / Feed our needs and eat the keep we reap from it / slum it / and plummet into hiding (Hook)

So with the fog at our backs and your gods on retreat / We’ll release you from your struggles like… / Gimme the signal, gimme the go / There’s no odds to be stacked and no law to be seen / It’s just us and nothing but the cold / Gimme the signal, gimme the go

SIMS
Manipulate yourself up out of this one, how persistent / You speak with venom but nobody is around to listen / No coexistence, give your death some sound assistance / On a mission turn the king into a pile of crimson / Soaked ground / Your ghost float around / You won’t see the round unseat relieve you of your crown / Vermillion spill out brilliant slow / You took the jewels, I’ll make that ruby glow / Save your cash / Wasted breath, I’ll take your last / That’s not a note in this bottle it’s gas / That ain’t a rose in my hand it’s a match / I’ll take what you can’t take back / make the kingdom ash when the vapors pass / Melt down crown in a crucible / Make a carmine mist, no funeral / I will flush king heart if it’s suitable / and paint the town with his red, make it beautiful (Hook)

If you've been looking to listen to Dessa Chimes is a good entry point. Well crafted hip-hop sounds with even better written lyrics. Dessa is just too strong an artist to ignore. Vivian Nelson

Parts of Speech
by Dessa

supported by 93 fans who also own “Gimme The Go”

Unlike a certain arrow, Dessa ALWAYS hits the mark. Imagine listening to Call Off as night vale weather years ago, and not yet realising how good Dessa is, was, will be. From there, you slowly come to terms with some of the hits, finally you take the plunge and submerge yourself in the full Dessacography. Friends, I'm going down, sound the bells. Ｋ

It's rare for a musician, especially in hip-hop, to allow themselves to be truly vulnerable. In Children's Work Dessa achieves this and the effect is both powerful and intimate. ActuallyAlison
