-Lyrics-

-Intro-

Chorus: If I could just remember the words I said
I would be alright
If I could just remember the words I said tonight
Then my intentions never would be misread
We wouldn’t have to fight
If I could just remember the words, my love…

Verse 1: But abstract eruptions 
of emotions manifest and congest
my inner vision when I try to recollect.
And my breath is getting heavy, 
I bereave the hidden phrases that just
can’t seem to make their way into the forefront
of my blunt mind. I’m running out of time.
I’ve gotta find my way back
to a linguistic type of tongue that’s in tact.
And in fact, if I’m not on track, 
My rhythmic dialect will disturb
our overture of love and words…

(Chorus)

Bridge: But they always leave me. Why?
Say that you believe me!

Verse 2: It’s like every single time I begin, it’s the end.
No more sentencing. I’m slowly losing touch with what’s within.
My meaning is slipping, I mean there’s no definition,
I’m falling into submission, I black out and fade in.
Now I’m closer to knowing the words I was going for 
then out of nowhere I’m stumbling and muttering
nonsense. Can’t seem to clear my subconscious 
mind, I sound obnoxious, the worst part about it is
you and I falling apart in the dark pit that stirs
all of my forgotten words…

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

-Outro-

It would be easier
If we found joy in the usual ways 
I had a dream that we had too much
We had nothing but golden days

I can spend days looking at myself 
Am I any different
Do you find that I’m not 
If we never make it 
Will it count that we tried 
Will the universe take note
  
At best life is long
But not without end
We have no time to pretend, we have no time 
At best life is long
But not without end
We have no time to pretend, we have no time

We’ve come so far 
Beyond where we feared we’d stop
If you ever forget I’ll remind you 
If you’re ever weary I’ll pull you thru

It would be easier
If we found joy in the usual ways 
I had a dream that we kept in touch
what we achieved we were amazed
How long must we wait
How low must we sink
Before we earn our place

The road is long 
And we got rules to bend
There is no time to pretend

We’ve come so far 
Beyond where we feared we’d stop
If you ever forget I’ll remind you 
If you’re ever weary
I’ll pull you thru

FOMO

Trust Me Imma Fly away
I'll fly away from here 
So far away
I'll fly away (x2)

I'll fly so far
Away from here
Far from the pain
Far from the tears
I'll fly away
I'll find my way
To better days

Trust Me Imma Fly Away

i was scared to drop this but i think its a good time to let yal in

This is a freestyle i recorded at Spotify Secret Genius Nashville 
produced by Namir Blade also featuring Namir Blade on that fye transition and bgvs. Got that crazy verse from Reaux. I started crying cause I was just letting the words flow and Reaux hopped in perfect timing. I love them. I love this song.

Originally my goodbye but now represents rebirth.
