From Herself

Folder: 
songs

One thousand glimpses of heaven

Sweet surprise in your eyes

Glowing hoop of purity and grace

Placed instead over your head



Life can't save her

Love can't save her

Nobody can save her

From herself



Unlimited faith and loyalty

Held together with pieces of leather

Harmproof fence errected around

Protecting the unsuspecting



Life can't save her

Love can't save her

Nobody can save her

From herself



Switch the light back on for now

Hallucinate that I'm sedate

Pretend I can be something I'm not

Assume I'll consume every word



Life can't save her

Love can't save her

Nobody can save her

From herself



Fortune twisted dash of vanilla

Come to proclaim you own my flame

Forget everything you were before

Neglect the future's perfect



Life can't save her

Love can't save her

Nobody can save her

From herself

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Became something I hadn't expected at the start. It's...a description of people too afraid to let the halo slip once in a while.
