I'm black on blacker velvet, skin and veins Like some El Greco painting, so full of So full of longing for of day
I I knew who I was in the world But here I am twice blind at born to my buried voice within
And forgotten who I used to be And I've forgotten the in red, living her dream And I've the courage I used to be
Happiness is overrated, it never Skating the surface of oceanic Oh, may the fruit of my life be
So please me all my seriousness 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 leader in her glory shining, And forgotten 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 don't know, I know And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try And I try, and I try, and I try
I know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I know 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 to light The radiance behind the eyes
And I've who I used to be And forgotten 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 know, 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, and I try, and I try
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
