She went along the highway, and started at the end
I lost her down the road, before it all began
What she found could only save herself
She spent her days searching for what she would have
Holding a case for her future and in it put her past
Alone in hiding, a soul deprived of what wouldn’t help
Emptiness filled with smoke to fog what she felt
What she gave could only save herself
And made her heaven feel like hell
As she lies to herself while she lies by herself
What she had could only save herself
Looking at what she’s looking for
But cannot soar with broken wings
Clouded years of token things
To cover cavum she won’t call a bore
…but are
The thoughts she held
For hopes she felt
Of hollow words she spelled
The emptiness became her means
Of hollow thoughts she dreams
All to save herself
What she laid would only save herself
And what she saved may have paved her hell
