Float

Aesop Rock

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 orchid,

Intrigued but not compelled

I smell a hint of charred child flesh

Sweeping through my corridor

More than one canteen,

'Cause this Rembrandt paints on

And it's a tall canvas,

Lodged in the gut of Atlantis

I'm pretend(?),

Impressive lungs,

I alone personify mankind's 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 (how sweet)

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 c
