Free Cee Raise Them From the Dread
RAISE THEM FROM THE DREAD
Methinks the lady believes she can raise the dead
at least that is what resides in her head
mrs. lazarus is just an illusion
until reality brings her delusion to a conclusion
there are things she thinks only she can do
the lady believes she is one of only a few
if she perceives that one is asking too much
she immediately dismisses a person from her clutch
the lady has had men that come and go
and one broken heart was mine, I know
she has a metaphorical funeral for every man gone
while her ex-lover's tears flow on and on
friends come and go until the circumstance repeats and repeats
but one day she'll awake knowing what cruelty defeats
she'll realize how many smiles and laughter she's muted
and the fact that her ego is out of control cannot be disputed
