Aesop Rock - Bad Karma lyrics

These wings have seen things most men would melt apart from It's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait All my drunk destiny pushed was one radio flyer chock-full of halo parts Ringin this chime like, "Man, I could fix your broken shine We're all Saints swept serpentine 'round charcoal tomorrow Bunk holiday damned. Easy now, brother, I'm here ... I'm here, I'm now, then and there. I'm, we? Us? Them? It? I'm sorry, I'm ... God, this final extension's beautiful but, friend, I don't deserve it I beg of you sweet Father please detach my chest's polar lining I can't handle asymmetry And if it means my grand finale don't tally the votes Finish me, dormant, with torture-machine silencer-piece Positioned where eyelids will reach R.E.M. well before I'm torn I've never asked for much (Never) never felt golden-benefit worthy I gots what I gots and what I don't gots don't concern me I'm no model, I never aspired to be Velociraptor fossil Man, there wasn't no arrangement Man, I never had a say in this I wanna be the normalcy that normalcy was jealous of No shimmer, no celestial flight mid-winter Enter me now See through Cretin low-life iris (Uh, I, I'm, I'm not, I'm not ready) I'm not ready for all this business that for some reason you all refer to as a privilege Uh, take a look at me, my feathers drag, this harp plays out of tune I fly about as straight as a blind tugboat through my legacy I accidentally k**ed cupid with his own weaponry And man that was my homie Talk about not cut out for these pristine pearly robings What could I possibly have done?

I can't be a part of something I ain't soaking my feet in, man I'm from the dungeon So from here on out it's hark the herald nothing Listen, I quit. That's it But for the life of me, one thing has plagued my being from the get-go Why place these most blessed and sacred honors upon an alley cat like this I just don't get it Oh... my god, it just dawned on me... wait a second, oh... god... [2x] You have been a witness You have seen the days when I applied lies in a billion different ways, and now I harbor bad karma Doomed to cope with the fact I dodged the ring but gotta show these cats the ropes Bad karma Please leave these little wings to erode Please leave this little halo to a child with a lighter load I'mma hold this tight like a life lesson told through a mic
