Songs of Serafina

I:

my neighbor don’t mow his lawn the right way

and the kids don’t look the same

as they did yesterday

my white bread friend dave

stands on his porch to give me a wave

but I don’t like his face

“well, out here we’re friendly,

out here we care.”

out here the sun sets

and your blinds stay closed...

I:

You give me nutrition with your eyes...

Oh, oh…

You nurture me with your soul…

Oh, oh…

(x3)

an acoustic guitar and sitar melody starts

V1:

The heart in my heart

does not know where to go

I am afraid to use it

when I grow old

and I was told

if I used my heart

then I would be ‘sold’

what does that mean?

Does it mean I’m for sale?

Does it mean all my dreams will fail?

I:

Sound of someone getting smacked

Broken glass exploding

Chewing

Spit

Shit

Intro:

I feel like I know her,

but sometimes

my arms bend back.

...

Meanwhile...

Laura Palmer doppelganger growl/scream

Int:

there is nothing wrong

hold on

tell me why-

C:

synth kicks in

You wear your heart on your sleeve, I nail mine to the wall.

Magna mater, magna mater,

Mother, mother

Crying for me.

Seven swords in your heart,

Tears in your eyes,

Veiled lady, veiled lady

Speak to me.

V1:

Sitting in a broke down car

Waterfall in my ears

Tundra in my blood

Sitting in a box so cold

My heart lit the fuse

Snuffed out before its time

And I ran

to the mermaids

and asked if you were near

They turned away, and I knew then

that you had swam too far to reach.

Something underground,

Something returning to its egg-

I missed when you cracked

but I will not miss the sound

of your tears

and the white noise that took you away.
