I Don’t Know What To Make Of It

I don’t know what to make of it 
So I just watch as I sit
The canvas play across his eyes
It’s just the sky in disguise
And I wonder what he might see in me
That makes him so inclined to be
Inadequately disposed
To my less travelled roads
And I’m half the woman I used to be
And I hate that word and I want to set it free
But it’s clear I am girl no more
It’s like I’ve been cracked from the roof to the floor
Like the kernel of an egg
It’s in the words that she said
When she sought to deny
The part of me she cannot buy
With her recompense
And there were years living in tents
Getting by on the music we own
Just green and half grown
And if I could have known
What was in front of me then
I’m not sure I would want to live it again
As I run to the nearest fount
But the water did not amount
To what I thought it would
It only ever seemed to draw blood
In the place that I was weak
And before I get to speak
They have a label slapped on my head
Says reconciled to be dead
And I just feel like Jesus on the cross
Crying out that all is lost
To a Father that does not answer
He just takes his last breath and the dancer
In me can’t move the way she used to
Because something weighs on me and you
And it is not my fault
But I must say I loved the vault
It was just the narcotics that did not suit me down to the ground
I think I would have rather drowned
Than go through the hell they rained
All so that I could be mediocre again
But I was born to be the best
So I’ll take up my burden and fuck the rest
