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
