lyrics

Freight truck driver
sole survivor
crashed into the fields
4am-er
petrol tanker
charred with the unreal

Take a sip of coffee and a swig of day to day
chemical your body til the nagging goes away
take the corner faster on those winding country roads
scarlet ribbons licking
metal canisters explode
with your head

You don’t like anyone
messing with your head for fun
"Tell me how it feels...?"

Counselled trauma
digging for your former self
underneath the wheels

Capture family moments
dive like dragonflies
back beneath the iceberg
that betrays you with it’s size
feel your future greying
furniture stacked high
caring less each second
as sanity slips from sight
from sight...

Television news
night-time light hues
watching from the ward whiten

lilies, cellophane
card taped in place
anger makes your lungs tighten

Take a sip of coffee and a swig of day to day
chemical your body til the nagging goes away
take the corner faster
on those winding country roads
wishing you were taken
luck is bitter on your own
on your own
