Sloth - First Steps lyrics

[Verse One] First steps out the door in the daylight Getting out of bed took all of my might I just want to go back and not see a face I stumble down the sidewalk with all of my grace I grab food from the gas station The attendant has entirely none of my patience Coins land in my hand with the pace of my gait I just stand as they land with her face all irate Now its off to the basement where twin peaks will just play I ignore the front door and telephone all day Say where'd all my friends go though they just stopped trying I cough once or twice and pretend like I'm dieing Is it a wish or self fulfilling prophecy Call myself a rapper but I don't want anyone to see I'm not a paradox but maybe I am Call myself a recluse while looking for a hand [Verse Two] I'm the man who wasn't there I just cut the hair Flat top or buzz cut I don't really care Walking round the streets like UFO take me I hope I don't sleep or that someone will wake me Get me up shake me down and rise up above the ground Take me to the canopy and I'm never coming down Calvin's magic tree house No one else is allowed Fighting aliens all day Playing for a cheering crowd Mic in my hand I've found my home now Ice in my hand sitting on my throne now You can call me king or you can call me sloth now David stones to sling you can sit and watch now Meditating on the mountain top Once I find enlightenment I know I can never stop Throw it all away just to sit watch it drop Ignored the author and wrote my own plot
