Lyrics:
Severe cold, stare at the code, keep a small circle like a deer in a scope, let me clear my throat, pocketful of rocket fuel and pyramid stones, invoke a spirit from the parallel, appearing as unwelcome news that drag you to the shadow realm and back to show and tell at school, promising a future more bedraggled than bedazzled, when “it isn’t you, it’s me” began the dagger to the scabbard, free snake tats, plays on train tracks, dorm like a door to hell, the doorbell plays Taps, born inside a ring of baffled demonologists, a casualty of otherness, what the fuck’s an olive branch, rats as big as cattle set to Babylon convulsing, the home sweet home that sees you as a bag of hostile protein, while I do believe that you believe you’re adding to the magic of the motif, homie, all I hear is “Dad I want a pony!” Fuck the police, I’m floating out with the Camazotz, property of nada, runs on Tromp le Monde and otterpops, roger that, cobblestone beyond the common polygraph, his middle fingers wear little safari hats, chainsaw shave in the house of a thousand tonics, they’re magic if you need a cure for lack of sour vomit, son it’s not a thing, everywhere I go I call to make sure there’s a fog machine, posse up and follow the anomalies
That’s a unique wind, spun the whip out in the snow, really ain’t got shit, your condition is not a condition we know
The rats are back and built their own ship, they’re backstroking faster than the old ship, a rat’s a rat - it scatters, that’s like it’s magic power, the “bowing out it” when your house is being smashed to powder, ping in the rubble, located burning his bacon, ravens deliver him trinketry in eternal damnation, I make disturbing the stasis a game to beat when the mania boils, even the days when the pavement’s keeping his platelets employed, stole a ox on occasion, I go through wands too quickly to name ‘em, ok I’ll name one It’s - “the rod of ‘fuck the nonsense’”, a basic wave and nod’ll turn bravado Into fondant, we slalom from beyond the wildly oscillating compass, whether you connect the dots or not is truly not my problem, familiar with the color of permanent cloud cover though I’ve heard there might be others, I’ll buy it when it buffers, until then a dry and lifeless pile of “why”s and “aye carumba”s, in a bubble watching dumpster fires multiply in numbers, I know that fear and love and death and pride and romance hold you by your chukkas, though it’s unclear what some closure might encompass, a bid to visit symmetry from civil war and swim ashore, sob story same as yours but a little more, ha, I’m in the alley pacing, I’m skirting curtain call, I make my hospital corners in a circle of salt
That’s a unique prayer, pretty nervous on the low, only came up for air, your condition is not a condition we know

Holy shit that line is what made me want to post.... Aesop is like the Aronofsky of hip hop. When you take in Aesop musically or Aronofsky concerning cinema. You leave with a permanent impression. So I created the term "you just got Aronofskied" By God sometimes people get Aesop'd Being "Aesop'd" is a very real thing. 😅

It's the rod of fuck the nonsense. A basic wave and nod turns bravado into fondant 👍✌️
I cant help but feel like Aes has a lot of pain in him. Listening to his older stuff you can see how his outlook has evolved. Maybe its just me, but I feel that Skelethon is where he started talking about some truly deep and personal stuff. It's comforting to know there's someone out there tangling with a lot of the same demons, but also incredibly sad. Perhaps it aint really that deep, but his music goes over stuff I have dealt with and it feels good to know I'm not alone. Thanks Aes.

I can confirm because pain recognizes pain. You are correct. And it isn't easy being someone who can see past everything he definitely lives at the very least in an inquisitive mind and sometimes that hurts.
I'm proud of you Ian
still listen to the whole album daily and own the LP. Solid

@@petermaxley I don't know if you came up with it or not but wow that is such a perfectly succinct description of a whole host of things that bother me about people who buy into these massively overpriced money making schemes. It's all just entertainment for them. They're expecting that forking over cash and taking drugs a couple times will be a substitute for doing real work. Then they wanna be the center of attention too, get everyone in on their own situation. It's so delusional to even entertain the idea that one can just go on vacation at one's leisure and purchase enlightenment and purpose like it's some bougie spa treatment.
