Merit Lyrics & Tabs by Aesop Rock
Merit
guitar chords lyrics
Alright, I can hear the ocean in a shell
But for the life of me I've never heard your surges more than raindrops in a well
Paladin tribe
Break beat elitists
Element five
Fully sold on operation, jeopardize of my survival
I will survive when sprayed by heavens liquid ammunition
I'll survive when betrayed by my brethren's wicked ambitions
I'll survive when braided with shuteye sticky thickets and thorns
Born clutching a fistful
The hurt's morbidly blissful
Forms spiraling
Sovereigns bring the rise in the funnel
A line of blind crazes tap the water, find the tunnel
As skinny click, mechanics flock to block pick of the land
Sovereigns bring the rise in the funnel
A line of blind crazes tap the water, find the tunnel
As skinny click, mechanics flock to block pick of the land
We stretch the Earth around the canvas
Drag a stick in the sand
And pan the hell out
Timid, you're tireless, bold
The cold that ire spits clicks subtly on supremacy therefore blemishe me
Oh, the treacherous penalty centers me, renders me bait
Skating slalom through this churning murder columns
I am not entirely trained to undo the shame
And all I got's three pennies and a rusty mic unto my name
Unto my game, defy the siamese approaches
Whose delinquent dichotomy comps Emerald City in wondrous novelty
Drink drum, sip a snare to spit a rigid sequence
That's when freak sons fade to black just like these pretty pink lungs, slugger
Paper dolls facade as swash buckler
Bounty hunt the front to document the frosh cluster
I am structure with a smoke ring, militant distinction
With a cloak-and-dagger stagger prime directive
And all else burrows itself amongst drunken perspective, fade me
I flee the scene grippin' the missing link like chain gang escapees
Build me, kill me
We cadets hold determination as property undeniably divine
We leak passion for the noise
There is not a track to cherish for me who lacks merit
And all I think about's the motion
Exerted to color mavericks alerted
Herd a billion nervous lost child prodigies home to flourish
Now taciturn facets burn open to yield malarkey
Navigator when wrestled on fancy driftwood out the vessel
And I settle
A conquest, stamp it, label it fresh
I in turn apply policies which require intrinsic merit
Try to wallow down these yellow bricks with yesterdays appendix on hold
Spot it like sky horizon, posed as barcodes
Load your fantasy
Interject a bad dream candidly
Blue in the face, through in the chase between myself and fame's embrace
Face engaging presence resonant with
Chiaroscuro atmospheric traps
Inhabit the land of denied clearance
Pigeonholed styles, drop similar
The course the corpse patients
Lacing non sequitur's that spittle off the chin
Upon the recognition pilot soften up the grin
Spinning me dizzy, cold
Bending my city to hold water
Yeah, we got affiliates, cadet merit and brilliance
Clinic apparel king-thing, crooked, I shrink, I sink into my book
It's like fury blew the scaffolding askew and tainted curiosities
Allow the freak show to continue
Forty thieves who seaved the cuehen commence blending a plan
And decorate the dusk like henna to hand
We unknowingly sketched the pentagram by sending clans of caffeinated couriers upon a quest to run the perfect circle around a star
Bizarre pattern with a bad vibe like Jafar to Aladdin
Pardon the carbon-based blaze amongst the stagnant trend frenzy
It offends me
Wait, ain't it the liquid soul therapy?
I sip to grip a stationary pillar
Yet we slipped these boogie nights
Sucked wattage from rookie lights
Now you proud
I'mma be there when you rush in
Just to touch the mushroom cloud
Drink failure
Lord have mercy on their dreams
Pretty pixels tend to trickle off the screen
Know what I mean?
Build me, kill me
We consider fresh sound play to sink frighteningly close to extinct
My life line is an assignment to feed the arts my spirit and bleed merit
The conclusion is subtle
Huddled amongst hermetic gutter-bugs
Peasants, and drunks
Junkies to critics
Sick dictators, haters
Kings to alley urchins
Monarchs, narcs to liars
Circling the wild fires
Live wires
I tend to blend an action less than orderly in
With an otherwise uncommonly primer to normalcy torn
These traits fade as cadavers due to conflicting data matter, first heard as remarkable's now labeled as unmarketable
Damn, thorn in my side
Now the high five hives despised from freeing demating alien seedlings, retreating
Burst the threshold, make the vessel capsize
Then the hollerings of buoyant survivors treading awoke dreaded leviathan
Deaded
Headed to crunch the world of MC etiquette
By dismantling mics prior to passing towards degenerates
How do you like that settlement? You feel that?
A maverick like myself bottles, will quit 'til the cocoon naturally peels back
This little light of mine shines at a hundred billion times the magnitude of every star
Within an ample sky sample
I alerted
My sole crusaders
To trade the games;
Prescribed them strict diets of DDT and Kelthane
It fester when ingested
Glorious vellum
Addressing helots to zealots
To Jezebel's to hellish felons
Granted my span of attention is not what it used to be
But most of y'all delinquents ain't amusing me no more, kid, merit
