Lyrics

There was a girl, her name Selene

Her favorite day was Halloween

She said she was a pageant queen

By the time she was fourteen

And God she was pretty, cause she was so kind

Her eyes shined like embers, like stars in the sky
Her body told stories of things we can’t see

Selene, Selene

Her father was a working man, 

But got drunk when he’d can
Oh Selene, she lived in fear

She wanted to get outta here

I said, “we can find another place

He won’t find us for days

I think we should runaway”

Her eyes began to luminate
She was gonna seal her fate
She said, “Come and pick me up at eight”


But when I biked up to her house

There’s caution tape, all around
And silence filled all the sounds
There’s teddy bears on the streets

Everyone shuffling their feet

Talking about Selene


I wished I could save her, cause she was so kind

Her eyes shined like embers, like stars in the sky
Her body told stories of things we can’t see

Selene, Selene

Oh, Selene
