Know That to Know This - Themselves, Aesop Rock

Was in the throes of Rome with goat’s legs

Clip clip clop, it was misfit o’clock

Will it be the batty in the belfry

Or witches in the pond if you visit pick an image and respond, blister in the

sun

Kiss it with your tongue

Listen every little signal has been criminally sponged

Or molested by a symphony of thumbs

And eventually neglected

Here is how the symmetry was won

Fourth quarter it’s infinity to none

Arms hung through the pillory

And swung 'til the hickey and the guillotine are one

Literally calling all heartworms back to the can from whence you came,

jittery and drunk

Get a grip on the immediate belittling

Triggered from a vitiated brain

That couldn’t mediate the little things

Wait… stranger danger

Your names escape me in a blaze of manga

When the cel-shades fade and cancel

All the rain’s made of anvils

You should start a band called The Stand-Stills

Pitter patter antennae, antlers

Animated man hammered into canned shambles

And everybody is nuzzled in the bosom of they handlers

Watch: can I get a gambit or not?

Not

Dang, finally met his Waterloo and what are you

The recreant who wouldn’t cut a tooth

Here’s the proof

Not that I need it, only cuz' I want y’all to have it

Know that to know this

Strictly shark tank shit

To throw it son, stoned, frozen, low the omen

In the blued out and opened up above my Oakland knowing

No gods touch what no gods clock

Cuts a killer free type locked

Been bent seen all my keyholes clot

With stern earnest

And anti matter a me worded

Ten hard in the blast furnace

Of last and a sole purpose

Berserked of make

Dropping the safe

On this wink of awake under date… in a yolk

Beside a blank for your signature

Isn’t the business a dead heading a customer bit of a

Undoing a kid by the dream stem

It’s Them and Aes back to put the heroes to tests

Then give em something to trace

They fear where we best

Ears can get stretched, heads we will touch

With the undoable deathproofable eye tooth and a shiv out a luck

Believein-in lead leaver, the-mean-it-reaper, a day eater

Who’ll break fever, contract, sheep or a dive speaker

In the name of the ant and the seeker

Bane of the can’t and the weaker

Doing his dutiful ether

Nothing but justice

Death loves this

And life pets it

To illuminate aaaayyythang this side of the exit

Quit hushing the thunder in you

Teeth up blood out

Shark what you’re slumbering through

Or regret it…

Know that to know this…

You can buy your time, I’ll hunt mine…

I commit to a sequence of gestures

Side effect of a deep-end dementia

I commit to a sequence of gestures

Know that to know this

We’re cutting it open and have chosen to throat it to the shark

I commit to a sequence of gestures

Act (?) quick and apprehend offenders

I commit to a sequence of gestures

Know that to know this

We’re cutting it open and have chosen to throat it to the shark tank that wrote

it…
