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
