Lyrics:

I am not your enemy, I am not your dream unlived
I am just this song I have today
All I have is melody and string
If Frida Kahlo could see us here together, here today
She’d paint us in some churches, in some feathers, in some gray
She’d see us in our suffering and cut our arteries
And there would flow down fountains, flow down fountains
From my Red Corsette
Whale bone from the killing of the largest peaceful being
Is blue and bound around my waist and will not let me sing
I cannot breathe, I feel too faint just as they’d have me be
But I do not belong here, I am shedding off this, shredding off this
Red Corsette
I am not your enemy, I am not your dream unlived
I am just this song I have today
All I have is melody and pain
I don’t have the words inside for oceans upon oceans cried
All I have is this song today
And I’ll sing it now for those who cannot
Sing it now for those who dare not
Sing it now for those who know not
Red Corsette
