[Aesop Rock]
January, I fell to the cobblestone
In April, I cut little paper flowers

In August, I drank cold tea all my lonesome
In October, I was introduced to scourers
I love New York Saturdays

But Mondays last longer
And since I plan to live a long life
Maybe I'll serve a thousand Mondays and swallow the burn

To merge the week for all its got
To get my shoddy rotten ribs stick, forgot my ribs
I got a lil' something called a spirit crisis on my skull

And it's nothing short of ferocious but I swallowed the dosage
I got a mantle, and the mantle is a candle
And my candle is a flame that burns to symbolize the day Gretel met Hansel

Then I settle in a stand still
I live forever reaching for the sun
Hoping some lucky day I'll clutch and get a hand full

Rope ladder, I'm a swinging anvil
And I wanna turn scullies and summings with pretty lullabye, bye
The way my gypsy dances makes a monster retreat to fetal

I never felt so damn young
But you don't look a day over zero
And you don't look a day in the times cuz it'll make you realize

The night is near so
Well then go, dream, I clean around the edges
I tidy up the tabletop, and lectured all the pledges

I never really knew the true definition of precious
Till my angel wit the beautiful red locks gave me the message
I'm a fully animated life tree

See the root of the mute button was dug up bug up on a song
Of I'm a fully animated life tree
With branches for the heavens to admire actually


Chorus [Woman speaking]
Fame, war, love, honor, crime, innocence, tragedy, sunshine

Cringe, death, passion, heroism, God, suffering, joy, fate
Destiny, treasure, stars, gall, hunger, murder, silence, mayhem
Health, pain, suspense, breath, sound, guilt, pride, time


[Aesop Rock]
We all know what a halo is

But we all don't know the horrors if your halo tips
I be the matador making your pretty little heels click
I be the Sword in the Stone of the contemporary eclipse

I'm incredibly exhausted
You can't imagine, got my warm spirit stuck in my teeth, I'm obsolete
Freedom freedom freedom fighter beginning

Better stay competitive, meter in such to bust, $#&@in fantastic
Every little steps you take breaks the tangles
In the chest, developed in the abomidable trouble

Settle for a cruel second, loud for an hour
Screamin to the beats to leave until my whole weekend turns sour
I ain't been around the world but I been around the block

I ain't seen everything but I seen enough to talk
I ain't a prophet, I ain't the Second Coming of Christ
I'm just a mason with a will to build and a little advice

I wanna weave a web, I wanna set of knitting needles
Villain with a theme dream silent
Paddle in the hole divy to where the portraits astonish

You won't regret a single solitary step, I promise
Look, in a situation where a dragon guards the gate
I make a true spur of the moment grown decision

Which in turn allows me to be something normal
With the prefix of the abbot
I can kill every monster if I gotta, that's that

Rockin it, rockin it, clippership rockin it
Be the little guinea pig, dig?
I'm tryin to make an exit with no ripples in the water

No splash, let the poison slide down down the hatch
It's like that


[Chorus 2x]
