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