I'm black on blacker velvet, skin and veins Like some El painting, so full of pain So of longing for light of day
I thought I who I was in the world But here I am twice blind at being Crawling to my buried voice
And I've forgotten who I to be And I've forgotten the woman in red, her dream And I've forgotten the courage I to be
is overrated, it never lasts Skating the of oceanic depths Oh, may the fruit of my be meaning
So please forgive me all my My spirituality, I'm just a mess I'm and anxiety but I'm unafraid to see
And I've forgotten who I to be The in her glory shining, divining And forgotten the courage I used to be The middle passage is so damn tumbling, crumbling
Don't know, I know, I don't know, I don't know I don't know, I know, I don't know, I don't know And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try And I try, and I try, and I try
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try And I try
some El Greco painting, no sun or sky No lantern, no needed to light The holy behind the eyes
And I've who I used to be And I've that woman in red, living her dream And I've forgotten the I used to be
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I know I don't know, I know, I don't know And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try And I try, and I try, and I try
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't I don't know, I don't know, I don't And I try, and I try, and I try
