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
