Aesop Rock - Dryspell lyrics

On a sunny afternoon in lower
East side New York

You about ready? (yeah)
Good morning my sweet vision
Of morbid disorder
And good evening wonderful riddance and such
Maybe today I'll touch the burgundy halo
Trimming the tunnels end off end
With tenants spangled 'cross
A more tangible premise this splendors
Shimmy splinters all up
In day-tripper visuals take it easy man
Fuck it I'll take it any way I can
My palms are chinrests
When I witness fury scurry past my window
Model city in a bottle plugged hostile
Its bliss kissin pollution
And a billion suckers pucker in a bind
Maybe the sunken ship is the treasure
No, but they insist it man, I'm


I'm trying to spin me dizzy
Sponging up to giving dungeons functions
As opposed to art historians
Absorbed inside assumptions
Everybody drop your knuckles when
The style divorces vertical
Marveling at the spite with which it curdled
Outside my tenement: coax a little warmth
From out the mugs of masons wasted
Laying bricks for days to later find
They own the lot adjacent
Mark the blasphemy
Elements of eloquence and savagery
Murder the gossip, fuck it, run off happily
The broken spoke cyclers choking open
Doctor Zaius born fetus
In a matchbox keylessly padlocked
To the hammer base
Now these impurities embedded in
Five illiterates textiles
Shedded in the hell tale to
Motivate behind suspended leverage
Now I'm drowning in a pool
Of why are you here
Sever ties with my beast of burden pertinent
To if I die this year

My name is Dryspell
My name is pillar my name's allegiance
My name is flagrant
My name's a thousand steps from patience
But I'm sick and tired of waiting
My name's Polaris my name is canvas
My name is lowlife my name's intention
My name is every imperfection that plays
A part in my descension my name is carnival
My name is posture my name is polarized
My name is evidence
My name is delicate approach roped
Symmetrically to my fellowship
My name's Possessive my name is cordial
My name is Igloo my name is captivate
My name is contaminate the rich
And clock the profit's for the captive's sake

"Let us hope that the horrors of evil
No longer loiter on the
Doorsteps of your past"

Circle of sandbags dragged to shield the
Meal the needy hand grabs
I'm splitting hopes at your local Acropolis
Opulence in a cockpit not the pocket for
Them born with a pebble toss
Sunk to rest while they've exhausted
The art of drunken address
Exhibit fracture lines that converge towards
Where the hackers whine
When trappers slack, the traps unlatch
The catch covers the tracking lines
That will make his majesty furious
Oh bury his head and how could
I have been so dense
If only, yeah but I'm lonely
My days graze normalcy then morbidly crash
My years breathe honesty
Then sardonically laugh
Alas, I dig my toes in to the sand and spit
Foliage out my lips Personifying
Mankind's end all aspirations hope floats
No, hope sinks like broken boats
And most harassed before provoked
I'm tossing darts at a map of the
Arts to pick up where you choked
And when the last leaf falls
Off the branches of resonance
I'll be waiting with my butterfly
Net to collect the evidence
Well I am a room with
Poison oak scaling the sides
Arachnids on the celing, rugged thumb tacks
Bones and rusty pipes
If you can squeeze between the bars
(then please) enjoy my space employ my waste
Encase the hand dealt by a stolen grace
Do you ever wish the circle was a square
So when landsharks start circling the borders
You could just cut them off at the corners?
There's a ghost in the basket of values
Pertinent to, which kayak pilot succeeded in
Surfin' it through now I'm surfin it through
So if you need me spread your
Wings to spell my name
Above the mess near the other funny requests
See my all too tolerant mannerisms
Have hired a whim
To assist in a meticulous pick
A part of cobweb skins of innocence
A child of timid instinct with
That ten step ahead premise
Supply dust bowls before the
Zephyr was requested a mile in humble shoes
Ten shades of blues come off the difference
I grimace, took me one hour's blink to
Conclude there simply isn't

My name is Dryspell my name is pillar
My name's allegiance my name is flagrant
My name's a thousand steps from patience
But I'm sick and tired of waitin
My name's Polaris my name is canvas
My name is lowlife my name's intention
My name is every imperfection that plays
A part in my dissension my name is carnival
My name is posture my name is polarized
My name is evidence
My name is delicate approach from
Symmetrically to my fellowship
My name's Possessive my name is cordial
My name is Igloo my name is captivate
My name is contaminate the rich
And clock the profit's for the captain's sake
My name is vagabond my name is angel
My name is century my name is hunter
My name is sunburst my name is wildfire
My name is scrutinize my name is basic
My name is consequence my name is cigarettes
My name is cynical my name is tolerance
My name is hallucinogen my name is waterfall
My name is runaway my name is alarm clock
My name is
