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 I knew who I was in the world But here I am twice blind at born Crawling to my buried voice
And I've forgotten who I to be And I've the woman in red, living her dream And I've forgotten the courage I to be
Happiness is overrated, it never the surface of oceanic depths Oh, may the fruit of my be meaning
So forgive me all my seriousness My so-called spirituality, I'm just a I'm tears and but I'm unafraid to see
And I've who I used to be The in her glory shining, divining And I've forgotten the courage I to be The middle passage is so damn tumbling, persona
know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know I know, I don't 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 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 don't And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try And I try
Like El Greco painting, no sun or sky No lantern, no candle to light The radiance behind the eyes
And I've forgotten who I to be And I've forgotten woman in red, living her dream And I've forgotten the I used to be
I don't know, I 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 know, I don't 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
