I'm black on blacker velvet, milk skin and Like El Greco painting, so full of pain So of longing for light of day
I thought I knew who I was in the But here I am blind at being born Crawling to my buried voice
And forgotten who I used to be And forgotten the woman in red, living her dream And I've forgotten the courage I to be
Happiness is overrated, it lasts Skating the surface of depths Oh, may the fruit of my be meaning
So please me all my seriousness My so-called spirituality, I'm a mess I'm tears and but I'm unafraid to see
And I've forgotten who I to be The leader in her glory shining, And I've the courage I used to be The middle passage is so damn tumbling, crumbling
Don't know, I don't know, I know, I don't know I don't 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 know, I don't And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try And I try
Like some El painting, no sun or sky No lantern, no candle needed to The radiance behind the eyes
And forgotten who I used to be And I've forgotten that woman in red, her dream And forgotten the courage I used to be
I don't know, I know, I don't know, I don't 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 know I don't know, I don't know, I know And I try, and I try, and I try
