lyrics

i hope this is the curve’s lowest point
i think that it is my time to retreat
and fleeing down the highway, i’ll escape everything
all this drink, all this desire, all this heat

this highway traces all these lonely drought ridden places
bitter locales hidden behind smiling servo faces
these fading towns devoid of welcome
somehow this journey south and home
back to a place I once escaped from
it harks back to these troubled months
to this disaster it belongs
it articulates the exact arc i have descended along

drive on thru dry country, patiently await
the great southern cloudbelt's welcoming embrace
‘cause there's no better sign that everything's in order
than seeing that grey-white line hugging the shire's border

so i’m rebuilding my defences
and fixing my mothers fences
sliding back into life here
watching these weeks disappear
and all of the drunk drivers
swarming around the weekend
they reinforce my conviction
that i've got something to defend
and i’ve got so much to defend
i’ve got so much to repair
and i can see hope now in my hometown
where i once only saw despair
with its prize winning consumption
those figures so obscene
a town so steeped in alcohol
seems a strange place to go clean
but if i stay focused on this body
the love of my family and friends
and i stay clear of stirling terrace
on these cold summer weekends
then nothings predetermined
i can will my track to bend
the ocean it will heal me
and i will see my exhaustion’s end

that city’s fucking ruined me
that’s why I have to stay
immerse myself in cool and cleansing
water twice a day
