Aesop Rock - Curtains lyrics

It goes one step forward, and two steps back And I'm actively unpacking out a bread crumb trail of bear traps My Hansel and Gretel maps were previously untapped Don't follow me, you curious cats might scratch me off track Gimme that flat made of candy and a mouth full of fillings I'll even hop in a furnace if it was broken and still is I envision my plateau and hope I don't grab hold Cause when gra** grows, somebody somewhere will try to snatch those Forget that, I went from bad at it to rad habit I two strap my food sack so you rats cannot have at it So if I catch a hand in my satchel it's Monster movie magic at the wrist with a hatchet You're clearly naïve, sitting in the sun still You're clutching on the guarantee that when you breathe your lungs fill I close caskets on the speed reads my tongue k**s Then I pa** em to the ground, like they acted in snuff films [Hook] I'm adverse to the current The whirlwind surf snatches the uncertain I make sure that my soul is planted firm and then I slip under the waves, flip the switch and draw the curtains Geronimo, domino bomb the commoners Then I watch them all fall like some posy-pocketers Go ahead and make a stop at a hospital, you'll be Nodding off to the trauma of leaky catheter Think I'm solemn from calmin' 'em? See me afterward Laughing, hacking up a lung cracking up till the cackles hurt Aggressive as a prize-winning pa**ivism panderer So scan the verse, maybe I'm just rapping for a lack of words We're testing boundaries, found curiosity can't k** Until the purse string is shortly followed by an anvil Oops, I make mistakes, common as breathing motions Air just leaves me empty so I exhale my sail into the ocean No shores, and I feel that lack of pressure “Rap louder, say ‘fresh' more”, if you wanted a b**h, get in the pet store Brasco ain't a butler that you send for A la zero dollar tips, callin' sh**, holler '10-4'
