I'm black on blacker velvet, milk and veins Like some El painting, so full of pain So full of for light of day
I I knew who I was in the world But here I am twice blind at born Crawling to my voice within
And I've who I used to be And I've forgotten the woman in red, living her And I've the courage I used to be
Happiness is overrated, it lasts Skating the surface of 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 forgotten who I used to be The leader in her shining, divining And forgotten the courage 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 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 know, I don't 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 needed to light The radiance behind the eyes
And I've who I used to be And I've that woman in red, living her dream And I've forgotten the courage I to be
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't 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, and I try, and I try
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
