ten thousand ravens came knocking knocking like thieves on my door cold, i stared back like dead tree bark glued to these old breaking floors the maid she brought down an old casket then she lined it with mama's old quilt while roses were drawn back like shotguns draped softly here round my cold hips (And the raven said) you You should fly, dear For you You will die here strawberry pie in the oven sits waiting for strangers to dream as they lie on the back porch and whisper while thunderstorms rattle the screens I somehow can't seem to calm down now where are the angels in white? the man down the street he is howling and I have gone pale with the night © 2018 serena matthews

I'm having bad thought after bad thought after bad thought today Everything is falling down on top of me. I wanna lie here on this cold, hard ground and cry for awhile. I really don't care who sees me at this point in time. It's been a bad, bad day. How I wish that I could just cry myself away. It's been a bad, bad day. How I wish that I could sprout wings and fly away away, away The rain starts to fall and it stays for awhile but the the clouds roll away. The sun creeps around and it paints an awful glow on this place It's not what I want. No, not right now. I just wanna be gray. I wanna lie here on the grass and feel the rain on my face. It's been a bad, bad day. How I wish that I could just cry myself away. It's been a bad, bad day. God, how I wish that I could sprout wings and fly away. Away away... *** ©serena matthews

I dedicate this song to everyone who was (or is now) ever oppressed or abused, particularly from domestic violence. It's my only song with guitar and piano both. (Actually, a keyboard.. my mic wouldn't reach my piano.) Have a beautiful day. Never give up. Never be afraid to ask for help. Someone is always here for you. I will be here for you anytime. Just say the words. "Hey, Serena...." Lyrics: This fog is thick, but I can see. My eyes are closing but my mind won't freeze. You threw me down. I stared at you. And I did not flee as you smiled at me. Well, look at that sky. It warned me so well. Like deep scarlet sheets on the bed of all Hell. (on the bed of all hell) Well, I'll tell you my dead, I can stay till the end but I can't stand to smile and I won't call you "friend." No, I won't call you friend. This fog is thick but I can see. My eyes are closing but my mind won't freeze. My mind won't freeze. © serena matthews
