Lilly's ghost has painted herself
It's a defense mechanism
She knows she oughtn't feel so hollow
She knows things mustn't be as bad as she sees them
And they aren't, of course
She still paints herself
And throws herself crying into strangers's arms
She'll get herself killed that way
Lilly's ghost claims she isn't afraid anymore
Though she's never been more fearful
She paints herself to cover it up
She paints herself so pretty
