Rings - Aesop Rock[00:00:01]
Used to draw[00:00:38]
Hard to admit that I used to draw[00:00:39]
Portraiture in a human form[00:00:41]
Doodle of a two headed unicorn it was soothing[00:00:43]
Moving his arm in a fusion of man made tools[00:00:45]
And a muse from beyond[00:00:47]
Even if it went beautifully wrong[00:00:48]
It was tangible truth for a you'th who refused to belong[00:00:50]
No name nuisance[00:00:52]
Fools in a bedroom[00:00:53]
Oozed in a brand new cuneiform[00:00:54]
Barely commune with the horde[00:00:56]
Got a whole grey scale ungluing his world[00:00:58]
Might zone out to the yap of the magpie[00:00:59]
Unseen hand dragging his graphite[00:01:02]
Cross contour little bit of back light[00:01:04]
Black ink after a bristol to baptize[00:01:05]
You can imagine a rush that ensue[00:01:07]
When you get three dimensions stuffed into two[00:01:09]
Then it's off to a school where it's all that he do[00:01:11]
Being trained and observed by a capable few[00:01:13]
Back in New York five peeps and a dog[00:01:15]
In a two bedroom doing menial jobs[00:01:16]
Plus rhyming and stealing and being a clod[00:01:18]
Distractions free to maraud[00:01:20]
I left some years a deer in the light[00:01:22]
I left some will to spirit away[00:01:24]
I let my fears materialize[00:01:26]
I let my skills deteriorate[00:01:28]
Haunted by the thought of what I should have been continuing[00:01:30]
A mission that was rooted in a twenty year affinity and rickety condition with an[00:01:31]
ID crisis[00:01:34]
Nap on the front lawn look up in the sky it's[00:01:35]
Shapes falling out of the fringe[00:01:38]
All heart tho he woulda made cowardly kings[00:01:41]
They will chop you down just to count your rings[00:01:44]
Just to count your rings just to count your rings[00:01:48]
And there were[00:01:52]
Colors pouring out of the fringe[00:01:53]
All heart tho he woulda made cowardly kings[00:01:56]
They will chop you down just to count your rings[00:01:59]
Just to count your rings just to count your rings[00:02:03]
Used to paint[00:02:08]
Hard to admit that I used to paint[00:02:09]
Natural light on a human face[00:02:11]
Stenciled fire on his roommates bass[00:02:13]
It was blooming addiction[00:02:15]
A miss and a push and a pigment[00:02:15]
Book like a tattooed pigskin look[00:02:17]
Pin head kids intermittent[00:02:19]
Drank kool aid from a tube of acrylic[00:02:20]
And I grew up in a linseed oil over linen[00:02:22]
Joy to the poison voice in the resin[00:02:24]
Capture a map of the gesture[00:02:26]
Back up add a little accurate fat to the figure[00:02:27]
Re do that move that inwards[00:02:30]
Zinc white lightning shoots from his fingers[00:02:32]
Studios drone with allusions of tinctures[00:02:33]
Stay tuned for the spooky adventures[00:02:35]
You can imagine the stars that align[00:02:37]
When a forearm starts foreshortening right[00:02:39]
Or a torso hung on a warping spine[00:02:41]
Of proportion reads as warm and alive[00:02:43]
Routine day with a dirt cheap brush[00:02:45]
Then a week goes by and it goes untouched[00:02:46]
Then two then three then a month[00:02:49]
Then the rest of your life you beat yourself up[00:02:50]
I left some seasons eager to fall[00:02:52]
I left some work to bury alive[00:02:54]
I let my means of being dissolve[00:02:56]
I let my person curl up and die[00:02:58]
Eating up his innards an unfeasible anxiety is brutally committed to relinquishing[00:03:00]
His privacy aligning with the trials of the anti midas[00:03:03]
Nap on the back lawn look up at the sky it's[00:03:05]
Shapes falling out of the fringe[00:03:08]
All heart tho he woulda made cowardly kings[00:03:11]
They will chop you down just to count your rings[00:03:14]
Just to count your rings just to count your rings[00:03:18]
And there were[00:03:22]
Colors pouring out of the fringe[00:03:23]
All heart tho he woulda made cowardly kings[00:03:26]
They will chop you down just to count your rings[00:03:29]
Just to count your rings just to count your rings[00:03:33]
I'm getting sick and tired of never understanding where is the truth you promised[00:03:42]
