Take Me To The Basement Lyrics - Aesop Rock

Take me to the basement 

let me count the holes in your foundation 

ancient ridicule system alert, kissing my lurk 

the perch of rare grimace on iron mask 

i remember science class 

if chemistry could silence the lions laugh I'd be fine 

(i fail tah) molindone up 

adrenaline trades the leaves that walk the plank 

before the crimson struck a match this season 

meridian carpal will jolt your logic 

when the burn earned its self normalcy for 20 plus 

run amok or sink, swims not an option 

she applied the lipstick slow 

slow enough for me to bask in 

fast enough for me to wish it lasted 

past my alarms cackling 

the front line of its mystique's geek 

doubled my proposals, bargains 

for the ogers who prefer the roller coasters 

(i prefer the roller coasters) 

well that'll sip the blood of merry men 

that'll grace holiday carols when the merry ends 

barrel past the auto craft, exhale into final raft 

and pirate your local rain puddle torturous 

try to shake pilot fish off your dorsal fin 

lets dive through the archives, synax on frantic? 

stamp it with a noteable brand to reek the profit 

see i don't know hell but I've read about it often 

sounds like a dope concept gone wrong 

(note to caution)

Take Me to the basement 

lets zoom into that war paint sensation 

Take Me to the basement 

lets dis-sable the cause rotation 

sayin, if you choose to build or you'll die by the tools you build with 

so make some noise for all your predecessors reppin dirty grill-age 

Take Me to the basement 

lets deny the nervous rooms of pacin 

Take Me to the basement 

lets review the hearts ramifications 

sayin, if you choose to build or you'll die by the tools you build with 

so make some noise for all your predecessors reppin sturdy grill-age

Take me to the basement 

lets remove the costume you escaped in 

hold up your legacies, I'll tell you which ones my favorite 

hold up your elacerative innocence 

I'll teach you about the perks of patience in seminar format 

I've worn that hat for seven years 

that's why its discolored, ragged and shitty 

i ain't about to toss when its been through all these dream wars with me 

ima undercover profit, thrift shop god 

i rather starve then sit inside this gridlock till it parts 

this tailor made rutiny ain't suitin me 

it's tied around my neck like 13 loops rafter an apple box 

heartless harvest of mine, I'm tired of pissin benediction 

maybe it ain't healthy, but sometimes i rather burn then let you help me 

it's getting brisk, brisk as f**k 

my skin ain't thick enough, these icicles ain't civil 

how many freezer burn victims can one society on tilt manufacture 

prior to hire, being intervening just to release last laughter 

and every tree trunks made of third rails with tourniquet branches 

and i learned to walk with an anchor in my back pocket 

and man i read palms during even the most brief handshakes 

and man i ain't alive to pull the weeds around the spotlit 

well I'm wallowin, followin my little lost princess to the promise land 

hollerin my potent slogan, hell if Nostradamus can 

conquering these open roads with throttle pin to floor 

cause Ima win right after i finish these chores 

Take Me to the basement 

lets zoom into that war paint sensation 

Take Me to the basement 

lets dissable the cause rotation 

sayin, if you choose to build or you'll die by the tools you build with 

so make some noise for all your predecessors reppin sturdy grillage 

Take Me to the basement 

lets deny the nervous rooms of pacin 

Take Me to the basement 

lets review the hearts ramifications 

sayin, if you choose to build or you'll die by the tools you build with 

so make some noise for all your predecessors reppin sturdy grillage
