Lyrics

[Intro: Bessie Jones, E L U C I D] This may be the last time Going through it, maybe's like a threat (This may be the last time) Might be, then it ain't, if I hold my breath Just a little bit of graceinthemoment she couldflip (This may bethe last time) I can feel the certainty slip around my neck, ah [Hook: E L U C I D, Bessie Jones] Going through it, maybe's like a threat (This may be the last time) Might be, then it ain't, if I hold my breath Just a little bit of grace in the moment she could flip I can feel the certainty slip around my neck Going through it, maybe's like a threat Might be, then it ain't, if I hold my breath Just a little bit of grace in the moment she could flip I can feel the certainty slip around my neck [Verse 1] Who gon' close the book, who ain't write my name down? Who gon' hold the torch, what the cards say now? Last good kiss, last call, the lights up It's where the road splits, asphalt shakedown Better know this Everything I've held, I ain't have to hold Been a stranger to myself I been askin' what I've owed, even when I'm old Grays in the nose, this one's to savor how much favor can I loan? [Hook: E L U C I D, Bessie Jones] Going through it, maybe's like a threat Might be, then it ain't, if I hold my breath Just a little bit of grace in the moment she could flip I can feel the certainty slip around my neck This may be the last time, this may be the last time This may be the last time, this may be the last time [Verse 2] There'd be no blues if I was blameless A feast of fools devour everyone you came with Releasing spells for a weary tongue Pushing out and through, I sing a simple song Sound and fury, quieted and calm Floating past right or wrong I don't identify with either Fire smolder, hot vicinities, smoke filter Can I touch it like I used to? I'm just a stupid beat loop, familiar deep groove I need new shoes to get the fuck home [Hook: E L U C I D, Bessie Jones] Might be, then it ain't, if I hold my breath Just a little bit of grace in the moment she could flip I can feel the certainty slip around my neck Going through it, maybe's like a threat Might be, then it ain't, if I hold my breath Just a little bit of grace in the moment she could flip I can feel the certainty slip around my neck This may be the last time
