Aesop Rock - Time Capsule lyrics

[Aesop Rock] Dear then, I'm writing from the now Trying to steer this crooked zen (?) else and warn your crowds The current date somewhat irrelevant, I can't see through this cloud Wish I could say these bunk samaritans boogied to make you proud Spawned a thousand grand objects (?) dot daughters But these fathers bothered only to harbor pain in the nostrils The sparkle in they iris fell to earth Dissention of the jackal hybrid overloader, draped over the curse Now from the sunniest of meadows to the bummiest of ghettoes Every man bloodthirsty buzzard behind sweet hummingbird helloes And it's a portable mayhem that stems from every premise and its burden And it's the result of sheep refusing to be herded Radio, television mixer, hand cannons Ying yang, the worker ants war dance for carjackin bandwagons And I preface my apologies with a buckle that latch up, soldier Hoping your professors counteract their predecessors I know my job and bully my heart into every token tossed I wish I had a penny for every word that I spoke and lost Some cats never soaked up the right elixer Oblivious to the wild dogs procreate well beyond modern man's victors And I'm done, I just completed knot thirteen, it's sliding well My neck fits to perfection, I hung it inside my cell It's in your hands now, closed eyes, pick off tool departing Leaving you this letter and this worldwide f**ing mess, I'm sorry [Illogic] I thought, therefore I was A man-machine with chrome hands holding plans to expand the scene With eyes wide shut, I wasn't surprised to find this mind of mine behind the mask of time Crushed gla** altered the path on which Bare feet would skate, foiling all attempts to escape hell Due to sliced soles, I left blood trails for land sharks to follow Easing the pain with capsules to swallow Resting on civilization's peak, tasting the climate Creating a ladder, attach it to weather patterns and climb it Shattered the sunlight, scattered in the nights so the sky can't find it Now how's that for a game of hide-and-seek? My body walks, but my mind's asleep So when I dream I think Therefore, reality is surreal, and destiny's a fantasy Fate is an illusion, when life becomes a canopy When poems occupy catacombs on display for clones who fell prey To delay on microphones, into each page of text, my heart is sewn So when the seed is planted and domes the harvest alone Is an interpretation of excellence Where pesticides abide to ward off the weeds from gardens of negligence The sharpness of rhymes stabs pin til it bleeds Drenching the paper that clothes each body the souls When the sun hides in the folds of the horizon You know these three celestial silhouettes standing on the seas, crying [Vast Aire] I daydream like, part of my mind stays in space travel From the top of New York to Ohio Back to the lower Eastside to crop circles And ciphers we recommended the first one's to hurt you You babblin, doggie paddlin, in a shark circle And the outcome's about to become horrible Like the teachers of Hannibal Lecter Who taught me how to k** a man with just one lecture But the times have changed and so have the seasons And rhymes have changed and so have the reasons This rap's as ready clouds from the sky's cleavage (Best believe it!) If it ain't broken, best leave it There's still a part of me that can't see it But tries every single sunrise to retrieve it Atoms stepped on the scene, shortly the balance beam tipped Leaving times multi-ripped Who said it's time to relax? It's time to react And don't get trapped in an endless cycle Of minutes and seconds, runnin laps around you Do you wanna change time? Or let time change you? So we left a precious capsule So in a hundred years when you find, this you gotta rewind this It's an evolving compliment, like we all came from fish Like we all came from fish
