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 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 woman in red, living her And I've forgotten the I used to be
Happiness is overrated, it lasts Skating the surface of 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 tears and anxiety but I'm to see
And I've who I used to be The leader in her glory shining, And I've forgotten the I used to be The middle passage is so tumbling, persona 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 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 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 needed to light The holy radiance behind the
And forgotten who I used to be And I've forgotten that woman in red, living her And I've forgotten the courage I to be
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I 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 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
