Creepy Girl Blues

I found my voice in a witch’s pitch,
only to have it ripped away.
I was freed wearing a cloak,
until the calendar packed it up.

I’ve got the creepy girl blues 
and it’s not even over yet. 

I found my way on the darkest day,
until someone tried to cheer me up. 
I was smiling beneath a painted frown 
until the Sun melted it right off.

I’ve got the creepy girl blues 
and it’s not even over yet. 

I was so happy to finally reveal
all that skin beneath such timid wings.
I was out of control for a moment,
until I had to be reeled back in.

The winds that cut me wide open, 
their nightmare had barely begun. 

It hasn’t even happened yet,
I’ve got the creepy girl blues.
