I'm black on velvet, milk skin and veins Like some El painting, so full of pain So full of longing for of day
I I knew who I was in the world But here I am blind at being born Crawling to my voice within
And I've forgotten who I to be And I've the woman in red, living her dream And forgotten the courage I used to be
Happiness is overrated, it lasts the surface of oceanic depths Oh, may the fruit of my life be
So forgive me all my seriousness My so-called spirituality, I'm just a I'm and anxiety but I'm unafraid to see
And I've forgotten who I to be The leader in her shining, divining And I've the courage I used to be The middle passage is so damn tumbling, persona
Don't know, I know, I don't 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 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
Like some El painting, no sun or sky No lantern, no candle to light The holy behind the eyes
And forgotten who I used to be And forgotten that woman in red, living her dream And I've the courage I used to be
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't 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
