She left on that Desert highway
Running at top speed
She didn't stop for days
She wanted to end the bleed
Took a few left turns
She found herself lost
She had watched it all burn
Her soul had paid the cost
Her wildness enthralling
As in darkness she was drown
Storms of memories falling
Screaming silence the sound
Do not try to follow
Disappearing into herself, leaving only a blur
She'd taken all she could swallow
With this life she never did concur

She left on that Desert highway
Running at top speed
She didn't stop for days
She wanted to end the bleed
Took a few left turns
She found herself lost
She had watched it all burn
Her soul had paid the cost
Her wildness enthralling
As in darkness she was drown
Storms of memories falling
Screaming silence the sound
Do not try to follow
Disappearing into herself, leaving only a blur
She'd taken all she could swallow
With this life she never did concur
