lyrics

Roaring tides
Extend to the edge of everything that’s mine
The sun still shines upon what I can’t see
But now the moon is looming over me
Counting the colors in the oceansky
They number greater than I could describe
Sifting through words and tones to capture it
But nothing’s detailed like the real shit
and none of me is like it

My body is nothing, My body is nothing
My body is nothing, My body is nothing more significant than a single drop
I am nothing, I am nothing

Who am I
if I don’t let them characterize me by
Constructs that overlay transparency
Projected over my identity
But staying radically indifferent
to validating my existence
defines my energy as excellent
devine, powerful and feminine
The only thing that makes sense

My body is nothing, My body is nothing
My body is nothing, My body is nothing more significant than a single drop
Or everything at once

I can only see a fraction of it
There isn’t anything that matters less
It’s all the same, it’s all the same
