Illogic, Vast Aire, Aesop Rock - Time Capsule lyrics

Dear then, I'm writing from the now
Trying to steer this crooked zen to
St elsewhere and warn your crowds
The current date somewhat irrelevant
I can't see through this cloud
Wish I could say these bunk samaritans
Boogied to make you proud
From the spawn of a thousand
Grand entrepreneurial don dadas
But these fathers bothered only to
Harbor caine in their nostrils
The sparkle in they iris fell to earth
Dissention of the jackal hybrid ogre
Motor draped over the curse
Now from the sunniest of meadows
To the bummiest of ghettoes
Every man bloodthirsty buzzard behind
Sweet hummingbird helloes
And it's a portable mayhem that stems
From every premise and it's burden
And it's the result of sheep


Refusing to be herded
Radio, television mixer, hand cannons
Ying yang, the worker ants war dance
For carjackin bandwagons
And I preface my apologies with
A buckle that latch up, soldier
Hoping your professors counteract
Their predecessors
I know my job and bully my
Heart into every token tossed
I wish I had a penny for every
Word that I spoke and lost
Some cats never soaked the right elixer
Oblivious to the wild dogs procreate
Well beyond modern man's victors
And I'm done, I just completed knot thirteen
It's sliding well
My neck fit's to perfection
I've hung it inside my cell
It's in your hands now, closed eyes
Kick off tool departing
Leaving you this letter and
This worldwide fucking mess, i'm sorry

I thought, therefore I was
A man machine with chrome hands holding
Plans to expand the scene
With eyes wide shut
I wasn't surprised to find this mind of
Mine behind the mask of time
Crushed glass altered the path on which
Bare feet would skate
Foiling all attempts to escape hell
Due to sliced soles
I left blood trails for land sharks to follow
Easing the pain with capsules to swallow
Resting on civilization's peak
Tasting the climate creating a ladder
Attach it to weather patterns and climb it
Shattered the sunlight
Scattered in the nights so the
Sky can't find it
Now how's that for a game of hide-and-seek?
My body walks, but my mind's asleep
So when I dream I think
Therefore, reality is surreal
And destiny's a fantasy fate is an illusion
When life becomes a canopy
When poems occupy catacombs on display
For clones who fell prey
To delay on microphones, into
Each page of text, my heart is sewn
So when the seed is planted
And domes the harvest alone
Is an interpretation of excellence
Where pesticides abide to ward off the
Weeds from gardens of negligence
The sharpness of rhymes stabs
Pin til it bleeds
Drenching the paper that clothes
Each body the souls
When the sun hides in the
Folds of the horizon
You know these three celestial silhouettes
Standing on the seas, crying

I daydream like
Part of my mind stays in space travel
From the top of New York to Ohio
Back to the lower Eastside to crop circles
And ciphers we recommended the first
One's to hurt you
You babblin, doggie paddlin
In a shark circle
And the outcome's about to become horrible
Like the teachers of Hannibal Lecter
Who taught me how to kill a
Man with just one lecture
But the times have changed and
So have the seasons
And rhymes have changed and
So have the reasons
This rap's as ready clouds
From the sky's cleavage
(Best believe it) If it ain't broken
Best leave it
There's still a part of me that can't see it
But tries every single sunrise to retrieve it
Atoms stepped on the scene
Shortly the balance beam tipped
Leaving times multi-ripped
Who said it's time to relax?
It's time to react
And don't get trapped in an endless cycle
Of minutes and seconds
Runnin laps around you
Do you wanna change time? Or
Let time change you?
So we left a precious capsule
So in a hundred years when you find
This you gotta rewind this
It's an evolving compliment
Like we all came from fish
Like we all came from fish
