Track Insight / Lyrics
Dusk settles like a darkening bruise
Sticky tar roads, a Courier's cruise
Faded maps, a trashed hand-me-down
Battered compass spins, letting me down
Rain-soaked roads, blinking signs
A lonely highway through a stormy night
The wrong turn took me to this place
No shelter from the driving, charging space
Lost in the dark, with no place to hide
Follow the highway, just drive
Headlights cast a feeble glow
I'll find what I'm looking for, don't you know
Wipers squeak, neon puddles reflect the sky
Rain lashes, a steady tattoo
A distant hum of barbecued pylons
Bearing witness to all my wanderings
Rain-soaked roads, blinking signs
A lonely highway through a stormy night
The wrong turn took me to this place
No shelter from the driving, charging space
Lost in the dark, with no place to hide
Follow the highway, just drive
Headlights cast a feeble glow
I'll find what I'm looking for, don't you know
A fleeting refuge 'neath a skeletal pine
Unloading cargo in the flickering line
Of fractured shadows dancing on the ground
A moment's peace before I'm back in motion bound
Headlights blaze, a relentless beam
Pulse of the engine, the hypnotic dream
Driving blind through the featureless night
I'll find my bearings, star by star, alight
As dawn breaks, and the rain clears away
I'll know where I am, where I'll stay
But for now, just fuel and drive
And dream of endings and brand-new lives.
