Aesop Rock - Float lyrics

So I heard y'all wanna float... Yo, this fallen angel could stitch a wing with a shoestring prime directive selects reflective aviation bathed in mood swing (I'm broke) I know a walking corpse that spit icicle dagger to slit throat quicker than you can prove there's four letters in hope (h...o...p...e) I paint a portrait of myself, bored life inside the tortoise shell tortured, orbiting Hell's orchard, intrigued but not compelled I smell a hint of charred childflesh sweeping through my corridor more than one canteen, a liquid caffeine and eclipse the slaughter How is you is the villain of my Kabuki hologram as I hobble with hollow hands (please pin the nozzle!) we see intent to reinvent dream application with homage to ancients but honor modern replacements circling now basics (fresh!) I'm Bilbo Baggins with stilts tippin' the petri dish beached fish on the shores with a feast of wits eats the corpse divvy the servings and study the traits that deemed k**er breed credible Now that's a harp of a different color (yeah, but the song remains identical) I am not a crook (crook) I cook the wick at both ends just to blend that element of chance with my tight rope leaf (life) sight beyond, I reign where hunger pain got begone elong to something civil saint 'cause this Rembrandt paints on and it's a tall canvas, lodged in the gut of Atlantis I'm pretend, oppressive lungs, some truly learn what a d**h chant is I alone personify mankind's collective soul as the result of one angry Zeus fist blistering cult pulp evoked face it (die), place it on the shelf next to that portrait Mommy gave you on the day it rained, but y'all posed by the slave ship anyway (how sweet) make it rain 'till the levy breaks my defeatist priest is a combine of Father Time and his sweetest concubine (whine) and it saddens me like televised casualties I'll be hung in the village square in exactly five minutes (you don't want to miss it!) I've been soaking up my discontent regarding the equation and I'm officially closed for consultation I float when everyone around me's busy drowning, I float when everyone around me's busy drowning, I float when everyone around me's busy drowning, I float
