[Verse 1]
I had a dream last night
It rippled through my day
Grandma told me, "Learn the ragas
Since you don't know how to pray"
Baby girl, I left her in September
As time unfurls, it's harder to remember
Kitchen table conversations, hold 'em tight
Even the story's been colonized
[Chorus]
Two minds and they're both left
Today's an unfinished vignette
It's familiar like a regret
Thought I was moving, but I never left, no, no
I fall in the cadence
Talking 'bout where it takes me
But I'm only getting farther and farther away from me
[Verse 2]
Forever out of line, having history's a hindrance
Repenting like a crime, any sign of foreign instinct, no
You were never mine, neither was the life I'm risking
I'm running out of time, tryna find where's the pride I've been missing
Oh, no, only miracle that could save me now is
Go home, let the rhythm break you down
Just hope when I get there, I recognize the sound of
My own voice
[Bridge]
I'm my own alibi
We left no trail behind
I'm ready to confide
No other suspect, I am the one
Doppler effect coming undone
[Chorus]
Two minds and they're both left
Today's an unfinished vignette
It's familiar like a regret
Thought I was moving, but I never left, no, no
I fall in the cadence
Talking 'bout where it takes me
But I'm only getting farther and farther away from—
[Outro]
Anywhere that we could be free
I'm afraid of what our fate is
In the uncanny valley
Where I've been living out my days since
Dehydrated, we drink mercury
Waiting to feel weightless
Thinking that it's bravest
Give in to the sadists
I don't wanna take this no more
Here's my chance to break abeyance
Desecrate their tableau
Higher power's on hiatus
Use Merkaba's window
It's the last reincarnation for this desperado
Light the incense for the seance
Call back what you let go
What you let go
