Aesop Rock - Daylight (EP) Lyrics
Yo, put one up for shackle-me-not, clean logic procreationI did not invent the wheel I was the crooked spoke adjacentWhile the triple sixers' lassos keep angels roped in the basementI walk the block with a halo on a stick poking your patienceY'all catch a 30 second flash visualDirty cooperative med platoon, bloom, head-trip split ridiculousFathom the splicing of first generation ***** upWith trickle down anti-hero smack (Kraken!)I pace me game for zero hour completion cretin (Splash!)Duke of early retirement picket dreamAmerican nightmare hogging the screenI'll hold the door open so you can stumble inIf you would stop following me around the jungle gymNow it's honor and I spell it with the 'H' I stole from heritageMerit crutch stole the wretched refuse from my teeming resonanceI promise temperance towards breed with a leaning consciousSee, the creed accents responsive but my spores divorced the wattageAnd I'm sleeping now, wow! Yeah the settlers laughYou won't be laughing when your covered wagons crashYou won't be laughing when the buzzards drag your brother's flags to ragsYou won't be laughing when your front lawn is spangled with epitaphsYou won't be laughing!Then I'll hang my boots to rest when I'm impressedSo I triple knot them then I forgot themHis origami dream is beautifulBut man those wings will never leave the groundWithout a feather and a lottery ticket, now settle down[Hook]All I ever wanted was to pick apart the dayPut the pieces back together my wayAll I ever wanted was to pick apart the dayPut the pieces back together my wayAll I ever wanted was to pick apart the dayPut the pieces back together my wayAll I ever wanted was to pick apart the dayPut the pieces back together my way[Verse 2]Slacker bound imitated tabloid headline with a pulseShimmy cross the centerfold, enter dead time engulfedDivvy crumbs for the better souls with seven deadly stainsAdhere the blame to crystal conscienceThe result's a lowlife counting on one hand what he's accomplished(Okay) link me to activism chain, activate street sweepPlug deteriorating cenobite pendragonI hock spores coursed by the morbid spreading of mad men, Alley gospelSinking your Lincoln-Log cabin and Charlie Chaplin waddleI could zig zag and zig 'em again for the badge dreamsSparkle in my brick wall windows another thick installmentOf one night in Gotham without the wretchedHouston we have a problemAttached to the festive batch of city goblinsWho split holiday freaks on a box cut cinema high road bellowHead gripped, watch red bricks turn yellowSort of similar to most backbones at camp IcarusWhere all fiddler crabs congregate and get pampered for bickeringLife's not a *****, life is a beautiful womanYou only call her a ***** because she won't let you get that *****Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interestsOr maybe you're just an ***** who couldn't sweet talk the princessKiss the speaker wire; Peter Pacifism pagan thresh holdStomach full of halo kibblesWings span cast black upon vigils hear the Duck Hunt ticker tapeVision and pick apart the pixelsI got a friend of polar nature and it's all peaceYou and I seek similar stars but can't sit at the same feast(Metal Captain) This cat is asking if I've seen his bit of lost passionI told him: 'Yeah, but only when I pedaled past him'[Hook]
