She may be dancing but look at her eyes.
She will turn them away if she notices you noticing.
She may be flowers but look at her roots.
She can`t kick off the dirt she wants to grow into.
She may be lying but look at her spine.
It recoils at a touch. She can`t kick off the dirt and she`s reminded.
She`s reminded. She is reminded.
She remembers now...
She thinks she`s so strong and you believe.
until you look at her at a distance trembling.
She knows flowers. She knows the dance.
It`s just the history that anchors her to dirt.
Look at her flowers. Look how they dance.
