Lady Lazarus, what do you think you're going to do
You gave so much but now there's nothing left for you
You live the colors of a synesthetic symphony
But hide behind a smile what it is you really see
I know how much you've tried
Always I have known you to rise
You lose yourself when it seems easiest to sleep
But life's the end so where else have you go to be
Things won't seem so tragic in time
I've only caught a glimpse of what's never seen the light of day
Standing in the rain until you learned you can't wash away pain
And now there's butane on your fingers, bottles in your car
But these can only ever make it seem so far
I know how much you've tried
Always I have known you to rise
You lose yourself when it seems easiest to sleep
But life's the end so where else have you go to be
Things won't seem so tragic in time
