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 know a walking corpse
That spit icicle dagger to slit throat
Quicker than you can prove
There's four letters in hope
I paint a portrait of myself
Bored life inside the tortoise shell
Tortured orbiting Hell's orchid
Intrigued but not compelled
I smell a hint of charred child
Flesh sweeping through my corridor
More than one canteen
A liquid caffeine and eclipse the slaughters
Now we 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 peatree dish
Beached fish on the shores
With a feast of wits eats the corpse
Divy the servings and study the traits
That deemed killer breed credible
That's a harp of a different color
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
Belong to something civil saint 'cause this Rembrandt paints on
And it's a tall canvas
Lodged in the gut of Atlantis
I'm pretend impressive lungs
Some truly learn what a death chant is
I alone personify man kinds collective soul
As the result of one angry
Zeus fist blistering pulp cult evoked
Face it place it on the shelf
Next to the portrait Mommy gave you
And the day it rains but y'all pose
By the slave ship anyway
Make it rain 'till the lead be grain
My face is a combine of Father Tom
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
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
Float - Aesop Rock
