Only Dust Remains lyrics

[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 n*ggas 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 audience or any people that 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, that 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
