I'm black on blacker velvet Milk skin and veins Like some El Greco painting So full of pain So full of longing for light of day I thought I knew who I was in the world But here I am twice blind at being born Crawling to my buried voice, within And I've forgotten who I used to be And I've forgotten the woman in red Living her dream And I've forgotten the courage I used to be Happiness is overrated It never lasts Skating the surface of oceanic depths Oh may the fruit of my life be meaning So please forgive me all my seriousness My so-called spirituality I'm just a mess I'm tears and anxiety But I'm unafraid to see And I've forgotten who I used to be The leader in her glory shining, divining And I've forgotten, the courage I used to be The middle passage is so damned humbling, persona crumbling I don't know, I don't 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 I don't know, I don't 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 Like some El Greco painting No sun or sky No lantern, no candle needed to light The holy radiance behind the eyes And I've forgotten who I used to be And I've forgotten the woman in red Living her dream And I've forgotten the courage I used to be I don't know, I don't 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 I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know And I try, and I try, and I try
