Spare a Match

[Intro: Aceyalone & Ladybug Mecca]

Electric charge comin' from the mainframe

I'm from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

Electric charge comin' from the mainframe

I'm from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

[Verse 1: Aesop Rock]

My every little step set in a star

Retina scarred; tread in a sled of bedbugs got my dead head in a jar

Crazer camp stamp blank on the mug of settlers registered

Not protest nor approval regarding every morn futile

My experience with a spirit alignment interference

Assigns division from clearance to ample scrambling

Let's note the magnificence in the difference

Okay, see two canaries on the wire aspire

To separate lullabies both of which had me drifting

Every clan ghostly orphan scared stiff in the bliss

And list picking from the arrangement under burden

Bust, wallow in will to split the privilege cluster

Lackluster as if a journey choice grew on the nearest chuckle path-dispatch trouble

I've never seen the water so high in my poison life

Social conduct, twenty pace, about face, self destruct

I know the key locations, sharp enough to catch those subtle signs cause

Well, this here alley cat's been around the block a couple of times

Lifting every tin can, sifting every mess;

One man's trash, you know the rest, live it

Pitching a battered platform out of mass hysterics perished in the blizzard

When it's finished I plan to sit and observe the twister pivot

Sleep and sleep well; sleep with a sacred array of fevers

Wake as a pertinent version of a pipe dreamer

Y'all can find me if you lookin for a friend

I'll be the only iron-clad oracle in a city of tin

It's like that

[Hook: Aesop Rock]

I was born where crooked demeanor seemed to spawn merit

I was born where all the king's men couldn't mend a broken spirit

I was born where it don't matter if you stand, sit, or fall

To live and die as a brick brick brick in the wall

And I'm a brick brick brick brick brick in the wall

And I'm a brick brick brick brick brick in the wall

And I'm a brick brick brick brick brick in the wall

And I'm a brick in the wall, drop in the bucket, yes y'all

[Interlude: Aceyalone & Ladybug Mecca]

Electric charge comin' from the mainframe

I'm from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

Electric charge comin' from the mainframe

I'm from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

Electric charge comin' from the mainframe

I'm from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

Electric charge comin' from the mainframe

I'm from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

[Verse 2: Aesop Rock]

Spare a match for the most distorted orchid in the patch

Assorted orphans coursed in a morbid orbit forward the traps

I make a tentative promise to flash frequent

The most sacred abrasive based in allegiance to the makeshift mason's secrets

Water basin leaking, plug it up

The simple triple ring performance shoveled subtle imperfection (Check)

I rung a life's worth of saturated costume gear over hell's balconies

To nullify the drought and still the martyr farmers shout at me

And so the epic went and every cirrus hung

The bow breakers turned a cradle fatal, every spirit clung

Croon for the slick Icarus brain children busy splitting the givingtree

Building fresh canoes for freaks to cross the spill in

I'm frantic

My plan is dwindling with every pulse bump

Gods and monsters yield the lump sum of the dolt clump

Be wary when the stratosphere tints

I scout like Atticus Finch, inching up slow in the games of reconnaissance

Now cause to amend the Zen memorandum has surfaced in every Holocaust citadel fix it plan

Twelve easy steps to better picket line demeanor

Gumshoe

Stick stone conglomerate activate massive

But the sky is falling, fuck you

I've hired sweatshop labor to hold candles to the solar panels

Stitched in the back of my neck for nickels and sour milk by the week

Cheek to the heartache

At the center of my anthem lies a blend of temper tantrums substantial for me to lamp in

[Interlude: Aceyalone & Ladybug Mecca]

Electric charge comin' from the mainframe

I'm from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

Electric charge comin' from the mainframe

I'm from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

Electric charge comin' from the mainframe

I'm from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

Electric charge comin' from the mainframe

I'm from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

[Hook: Aesop Rock]

I was born where crooked demeanor seemed to spawn merit

I was born where all the king's men couldn't mend a broken spirit

I was born where it don't matter if you stand, sit, or fall

To live and die as a brick brick brick in the wall

And I'm a brick brick brick brick brick in the wall

And I'm a brick brick brick brick brick in the wall

And I'm a brick brick brick brick brick in the wall

And I'm a brick in the wall, drop in the bucket, yes y'all

[Outro: Aceyalone & Ladybug Mecca]

Electric charge comin' from the mainframe

I'm from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

Electric charge comin' from the mainframe

I'm from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

Electric charge comin' from the mainframe

I'm from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks

Electric charge comin' from the mainframe

I'm from where the phat beats stretch for mad blocks
