Over me like a painted rainbow, Under me like the earth... when there's snow. Into me like a knife so deep, One with me like my skin, that weeps...Weeping for a time before -- you came and caused me hurt,Β Β Leaving me shame. Over me.. My Brother, Sister, one time friend.... Under me... My Mother, Father, and so many kin. Like a glove you would wear me...inside-out, tight-fit... you would say, then like a glove toss me away. Over me, Like a heart-a-tack, Killing me so true. Under me like a bomb...in the midst of me and you. I know how we got here, Don't know why you came; Looking down on my body, that you brought so much shame. Mother don't you cry, Father don't you weep. Brother I want tell a soul, Sister not a peep. Over me, The earth...the cold- cold earth. Under me, The hell that you left me... in--at birth. Over me, Like a rainbow, painted-- I can't see; Lost was the life that, You came and took from me.
