Impasse

[Intro: Bessie Jones, ELUCID]
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 grace in the moment she could flip
(This may be the last time)
I can feel the certainty slip around my neck, ah

[Hook: ELUCID, 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: ELUCID]
Who will 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'm owed, even when I'm old
Grays in the nose, this one's to savor how much favor can I loan

[Hook: ELUCID, 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: ELUCID]
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 and wrong
Don't identify with either
Fire smolder, hot vicinities, smoke fill through
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: ELUCID, 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
