Only Dust Remains

[Verse: Backxwash] You worry about perception I'm worried 'bout the evanescence of adolescence So let me take a second Let me be calm as I pen this message I'm using everything to connect it As the tears start forming down my neck rest Memories of the wrong and the restless My every need to be calm and collected For everything that I done and regretted I regret how I left my niggas in dust The many people I love, now I'm penny pinching for trust The darker days feeling like bent knees to the gut The Hennessy in the cup is not well meaning enough I got the, I got the face of a immigrant Some people love how I'm erased of my innocence They're quick to judge how I'm too brazen and ignorant So middle finger to these racists and idiots, check it For every moment in present I don't need a reverend or a reference to heaven I make it out this dark place when I'm in a hard state But I wanna show y'all love, as I meant it And I know I don't know god in his presence He never tried to call my bluff when I went there But if I'm in a bad place going to a backspace Happy that I met you all, as I meant it [Bridge: pet wife & Nina Simone] A voice whispers but I can't hear it She's miles away 'til it's all clear in me What wasn't I seeing? What wasn't I being? Eyes too wide I couldn't see Feet on the ground I was walking away from me My thing, what I hope to do all the time, is to be so completely myself, which, that's what I... (I was walking away from me) Hope I am, to be so much myself that my audiences and even people who meet me are confronted (I was walking away from me) They're confronted with what I am, inside and out, as honest as I can be (I was walking away from—) And this way, they have to see things about themselves Away from me I was walking away I was walking away I was walking away Away from me I was walking away I was walking away I was walking away [Outro: Fernie, MAGELLA, Morgan-Paige & pet wife, Fernie, MAGELLA & Morgan-Paige] Away from me, away from me Away from me, away from me Away from me, away from me Away from me, away from me Away from me, away from me Away from me, away from me Away from me, away from me Away from me, away from me
