Welcome Home Warrior (feat. Aesop Rock)

Calling all cyber-rat-race escape artists to the clearing

Hear ye how the synth wind whispers

As endearing as the jacked-on past you've all run from

Down in the doldrums, grabbing hold as if a dungeon

Guess they say it's of the mind

Well-stationed, merely paces from the places where online

Is worshiped you will find an an infinitely greener pasture

A path through the woods can lead you back to a past when everything was really good

Except the dragons

But that's what the knights are for

Gallantry to fight the war precisely

You can make your might decisive

More importantly, bust out the chain mail

Damn that looks badass

The lore is the main sale

Come back for the grab bag

Of skins, missions, and motifs that you can go and get

A damsel in distress might show a tit

A man can know his flesh and go and sit and contemplate his fantasies

Who knew everything could be so easy?

You know this is where you must belong

Listen to your arteries

Don't the chambers echo out this song

It's a part of you

Even though you've been apart too long, it's been calling you

Just answer the call and all the rest of it will follow you

Wrap yourself in all of you

And in time, time will honor all you do

Welcome home, warrior

Everyone is proud of you

Welcome home, warrior

Everyone is proud of you

Everyone is proud of me

Ten-hup

Ten-ton tuffy in the red-rum red-rum

Punk's not dead, but rebel to rebel I'm bell-rung and out-radicaled

Help me to the breadcrumbs, make it look natural

Came to the nexus, a meddlesome little tadpole

Back when nature and civilization seemed compatible

Optimistic infancy to middle-seat infinity

To citizens that splinter into roving gangs of infantry

And weapon-toting soldiers built like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree

Really you're just in it for the thrill of "lt was him or me"

Jesus, I could pinch your cheeks

Kidding, that's a gross way to live

Where division make the average bow-tie spin

I'm from a hundred million years of letting low tide win

Replacing window panes with photographs of foliage

Maybe a lone pine poking through a snow-lined ridge

My water lillies on a light box glow like this

That's lo-fi shit

Faux plants never better once I learned to smell the flowers through an overhead projector

Like

Smells like drywall

Whisper of black mold

Subtle hint of lightbulb

Sunk into the sofa blowing kisses on the dice roll

Roll dice like a flying kick to your side-scroll

Home is where the ohm is

Fire on 4 sides, I ain't even notice

You know this is where you must belong

Listen to your arteries

Don't the chambers echo out this song?

It's a part of you

Even though you've been apart too long

It's been calling you

Just answer the call and all the rest of it will follow you

Wrap yourself in all of you

And in time, time will honor all you do

Welcome home, warrior

Everyone is proud of you

Welcome home, warrior

Everyone is proud of you

Your dedication to shaping the day-to-day

To a place that matches the pixel congregation you pray to

Definitely makes you one of the tribe

There's a role-call wall, it's a vibe

Built out of images of interlocking crystals

Issued one for everyone who arrives

Don't mean to spoil any kind of surprise

But guess what, brother, you're next

Step up, test the water

Bet it almost feels wet

There's several swimming skins

See if you can collect the whole set

The world you're living in is sketched by people who disrespect your expertise

You're an artiste

So grateful now to direct you to a piece of music you should select

Your hero's theme

It can play for you every time you connect

You must be anxious now to start on your quest

Text the head of operations

She can help you if you've got any questions

Don't be alarmed should your call redirect

You'll be answered in a sec

The customer service is some of the best
