Shut the drapes and the world drops dead
Sometimes it’s nice to forget
Why suffer from another sunrise
Dying is an art like everything else
So heavy is my heart
So dead in comfort I am numb
The luxury of sleep eludes me
Close my eyes and the room turns red
Sometimes it’s nice to pretend
Why bother with another sunset
Dying is an art like everything else
So heavy is my heart
So dead in comfort I am numb
The luxury of sleep eludes me
Just one more pill to take
And maybe I won’t recognize
The harsh light of day
These are my hands - my knees - my scars
Oh Lady Lazarus
Come and speak to me
Dark side of happy is despair
Oh Spirits of the night
Forgive my restless mind
From ashes I will rise and eat my enemies like air
Just one more pill to take
And maybe I won’t recognize
The harsh light of day
