No Roses, No Skies

She's a song unsung

She's the wild orchid in your ugly swamp

She's a song unsung

And the only white walls of her mind know

What the song sounds like

The pills, the pills

And the doctor's promises just ain't doing the trick

'Cause the arms of nothing she falls asleep with

Can still bring the razor to the wrist

The TV screens, the magazines

Scream at you like the dogs of Hell

Advertising and advising you to be

Anyone, anyone but your beautiful self

Prince Charming never brought you flowers

Just a loveless lifetime all alone

No roses for you, just unlocked doors

And the deafening silence of your phone

So block your ears, close your eyes

Remember that you’re a golden soul

Fallen from the boring, heartless, Hollywood herd of lies

That they call beautiful

(With no shoulder, no hand, no body, no man, no door)

No heart to let you in

The sun can take too long

To end the endless night

(I hear you, I feel you, I bleed with you)

When our hearts begin to scream:

This life can feel too long

But at night you're dancing through the pain

Even when you’re the only one

No rose, no sky as full of beauty as the girl who dies

But rises with every morning’s sun

Alone

She dances alone

Alone

She dances alone

Alone, so beautiful

Alone, her own romance

Alone, Lady Lazarus' Life-Sustaining dance

Alone, so beautiful

Alone, her own romance

Alone, Lady Lazarus' Life-Sustaining dance
