[00:09.601]I'm black on blacker velvet
[00:11.911]Milk skin and veins
[00:14.091]Like some El Greco painting
[00:16.341]So full of pain
[00:18.331]So full of longing for light of day
[00:27.131]I thought I knew who I was in the world
[00:31.501]But here I am twice blind at being born
[00:35.621]Crawling to my buried voice within
[00:44.041]And I've forgotten who I used to be
[00:52.700]And I've forgotten the woman in red
[00:59.690]Living her dream
[01:01.500]And I've forgotten the courage I used to be
[01:19.340]Happiness is overrated
[01:21.650]It never lasts
[01:23.710]Skating the surface of oceanic depths
[01:28.140]Oh may the fruit of my life be meaning
[01:37.000]So please forgive me all my seriousness
[01:40.870]My so-called spirituality
[01:43.810]I'm just a mess
[01:45.740]I'm tears and anxiety
[01:48.300]But I'm unafraid to See
[01:53.980]And I've forgotten who I used to be
[02:02.650]The leader in her glory shining divining
[02:11.480]And I've forgotten the courage I used to be
[02:20.150]The middle passage is so damned humbling persona crumbling
[02:29.010]I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know
[02:37.170]And I try and I try and I try and I try and I try
[02:45.780]I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know
[02:54.520]And I try and I try and I try and I try and I try
[03:04.250]Like some El Greco painting
[03:06.310]No sun or sky
[03:08.500]No lantern no candle needed to light
[03:12.800]The holy radiance behind the eyes
[03:21.350]And I've forgotten who I used to be
[03:29.710]And I've forgotten the woman in red living her dream
[03:38.450]And I've forgotten the courage I used to be
[03:47.120]I don't know
