lyrics

Thought my heart was open like the sky
But you broke it open to another stratosphere
Light pours forth from a world within me
That was not born until you arrived
Reverberate your rhythm in the fabric of my stars
Penetrate my origin
Messy raw like molasses
Hidden made to flourish in shadows
Your secrets drain my life force

Danced your rhythm out of me
Or so I thought
You keep showing up in my coffee
In my dreams
In parallel universes
And in these streets
Bonny and Clyde
I've seen God in your eyes
This love sacred
But coated in hatred
I light candles with prayers
That your words and actions will dance a dance

I'm more than what you know
But your lenses don't allow you to see my light
You call me a queen but tried to take away my crown
I have given everything and more
Placed myself on your alter
Time and time again
I have given everything and more
Placed myself on your alter
Time and time again
Planted your seeds in my garden of dreams
I die each day and awake in faith
I light candles with prayers
That your words and actions will dance a dance
