This Lonely Rose lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. Aesop Rock & Blueprint)

[Verse 1: Slug]
I parked on a vacant road, to get away from people and watch the planes approach
Turn the music down, put the windows low. Turn the headlights off, but let the dashboard glow
I try not to reminisce, cause many of these memories ain't got no kind of benefits
It's the same old lick, you can paint the bricks. But your face is just a way to decorate your shit
I'm the motherfuckin' man when I'm standing in it
Cause I don't know how to swim, but I project the image, that i'mma go all in
Got it under control, until I grow my fins I'm still plugging my nose
No surprise, stolen by the tide
You can close your eyes
But the hopes stay alive, and the crow gonna fly
And the dope gets sold, n' other than that
There's really not much to know
Don't cut this rose

[Hook: Blueprint]
This lonely rose
With thorns to show
It grows alone
Too hard to hold
This lonely rose
With thorns to show
It grows alone
Too hard to hold

[Verse 2: Blueprint]
Quick to tell you that she don't need a man
From what I've seen I completely understand
Can't stand a cat that try to make demands
Plus her man said he sick of bringing beach to the sand
Quickly sinking in the holiest boat. Figured he might as well drink just to keep it afloat
Nope, when small things end up being gigantic
Relationships go the way of the Titanic
Why panic?
Have some fun while it last
Be happy that you even had a spot on the cast
She hard to keep cause she know what men about
It just took you too long before you figured it out. (Huh)
Moving fast don't mean it won't end quick
Why put your toes in when you can skinny dip
Remember when you're with the prettiest chick
There's another man that's sick of putting up with her shit

[Verse 3: Aesop Rock]
There is a temperamental magic in the key of love and war
It go, "nothing up her sleeve not even a fucking arm"
Body ain’t a temple if it’s disassembled parts
Allocated in a separate level warped send the force
Tell tents severing up pell-mell dash melting
Squeegee in his post to a cheesecloth silk screen evenly
East coast tilt kings raised by servals
Pacing up the grape vine nervous
Poke jarred brain matter adequately curious
Pick a perfect patsy, herd ‘em back into the turnip truck
Where a high arch pose as the nobles
Fine yeti fur with a dire prognosis
He prefer to mire with the openly grotesque
Opening in a cold discotheque coat check
Oh my low-tech bolt neck, go time, no myth
I'm a slow death goldmine

[Hook: Blueprint]
This lonely rose
With thorns to show
It grows alone
Too hard to hold
This lonely rose
With thorns to show
It grows alone
Too hard to hold

[Outro:]
Too hard to hold...

Trying To Fly lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. Eric Mayson)

[Verse 1: Slug]
And I don't even know why
I can't hold on to a word that you say
You escaped from your cage
Just to dance and play across a random face, like...
Fly away, little horse, fly, 'for it finds you on the front page
We're familiar with the frustration
To say we stay sedated, it's an understatement
Look alive, life is a celebration
We would like to use your current __cpLocation
Lost faith after the first rotation
And gave it back to the dirt like it wasn't worth saving
Oh, Lord, if I wasn't so bored
I'd already poured this bottle on the floor
Yeah, right, we ain't spilling a drop
About to get so high that we feel like Gods
And I don't even know why

[Chorus: Eric Mayson]
Time ain't cheap, but I know why
Cause what I need, I can't buy
You're trying to sleep, I'm trying to fly
But life goes on, and so do I!
I'm trying to fly

[Verse 2: Slug]
And I don't even know why
I still feel like a rat in a maze
Even though I know nowadays
I should probably have found a method to count my ways
I'm tryna leave the runway
Confident, I need to go surround myself with sunrays
Life's too short to keep shoveling flakes
I walk into the water till I'm covered in waves
From the first breath till the next laugh
Better have a plan to catch your best half
Never let the lakes break beneath the heavyweight
Gotta spray a little paint on this designated negative space
And I don't even know why
But I'm committed to leaving you with the valid and vivid impression
We could separate the pain from the message
But state of mind still in the state of corrections
And I don't even know why

[Hook: Eric Mayson]
Time ain't cheap, but I know why
Cause what I need, I can't buy
You're trying to sleep, I'm trying to fly
But life goes on, and so do I!
I'm trying to fly

Windows lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. Prof)

[Verse 1 - Slug:]
Shut up, everybody shut up
I think you've had too much to speak
Give me the keys, plug the leak
Or go take a little step off something steep
I might be a fuck up, but I wanna do splendid things
I mean I want somebody to remember me
And maybe drive me around in a limousine
I'm just joking, I rather drive myself
Rather fly myself, most time, rather be all by myself
A party of one
And I'll keep going for as long as the arteries pump
Don't start no junk
I'm not a thug but I'm hardly a punk
And if it ain't the hard part of the month
Throw your hands in the sky, sing the harmony once

[Hook - Prof:]
Shut your pretty mouth, I got a window in my car
I can see it all
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
Shut your pretty mouth, I got a window in my house
I can see it all
(I like this) I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though

[Verse 2 - Slug:]
Shut up, everybody shut up
I brought my own knife and fork
Stood up to address the court
And said "The kid's so hungry, he'll eat the stork"
I might be a fuck up but I'm in the upper percentile
I try to put a smile on my face while the rest act so cold blooded like a reptile
Gotta look over both my shoulders
Don't even know ya, potential cobras
I'm tryna find a poser to design a poster to mobilize voters
This is not a top secret, but they already know what you're not thinkin'
Either you could submit or you could just stop speakin'
And find yourself inside another lost weekend

[Hook - Prof:]
Shut your pretty mouth, I got a window in my car
I can see it all
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
Shut your pretty mouth, I got a window in my house
I can see it all
(I like this) I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though

[Verse 3 - Slug:]
Shut up, everybody shut up
All of y'all talk too goddamn much
Slither back under that rock you're from
Got a hiss on the tongue that you just can't' trust
I might be a fuck up and maybe you are too, but I ain't no judge
Run through dirt just to kick up dust
Put a little paint on the tip of the brush
Go ahead breathe with no regrets
Life's too brief to be so upset
Gotta take the lost and plead the fifth
Sometimes the world will make you eat that shit
Gonna jump like a kangaroo, break outta the zoo
Let the universe know that you made it through
Stay true to your name and crew
But watch what you say and who you say it to

[Hook - Prof:]
Shut your pretty mouth, I got a window in my car
I can see it all
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
Shut your pretty mouth, I got a window in my house
I can see it all
(I like this) I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though

[Outro - Harmonizing:]
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...

Camera Thief lyrics - Atmosphere

Camera thief
Take pictures
Run like the parallel stitches
Attach my feet to the path I beat
Teach myself to keep the answers brief
Gnash my teeth like the last to feast
Imagine me on that abandoned beach
Sand and sea as if the jazz was free
I’m Ice cream mixed with gasoline
Direct attention to the craftsmanship
Neglect to mention that the past will stick
Like initials carved in the concrete
Like the tattoo that hides on your mommy
I still kick it with angels
The difference is that instead of the bar, I’m at my kitchen table
The starlight shines through the glass
But you feel safe underneath that mask

Ferris Wheel, give rides
These scars healed in time to get high
Lock the doors and hide the keys
Lets go describe how to climb a tree
Don’t sign the lease just cop a corner
For you to curl up and try to sleep
Those cheap police won't find my wings I keep my dreams inside my dreams
And If I had a time machine
I’d probably use it like a vacuum and try to clean
It kind a seems, quite more than a handful of these regrets have been circumstantial
Now give me all the cash out the drawer
Touch that mustache down on the floor
And I’ll be in court holding a pitchfork
Before I let the contest outlast the sport

Pocket watch, impatient
Find a mate then make the migration
Break the rules, but first break the rulers
And keep it moving like a rumor
I don’t need to defend my defensiveness
I keep to myself, my family, and friendships
I’ve got enough people I could disappoint
If you disagree I think you missed the point
Now go ahead and grab a chair
Let me tell you about the last few years
Pulled out a sack full of Samson’s hair
And put it on the dash like a dancin’ bear
I wrote you a horoscope
It won't fit on this post-it note
But if I had to sum it up into a shorter quote
It goes fuck it, you might as well row that boat
