You were born on the rough side of the fault line
Underneath a coal black sky at midnight
Cursed by a kiss from the cruel moonlight
And you still can’t shake it off
You ain’t the one they thought you were
You shake them off at every turn
They wait for you to crash & burn
But you left them all in the dust
On another back road
Unsteady ground now vanished from sight
Foundation shakes and lightning strikes
Unearth the fear that you’ve buried inside
And try to erase it
You ain’t the one they thought you were
You shake them off at every turn
They wait for you to crash & burn
But you left them all in the dust
On another back road
You drive to escape from the past that you’ve known
You try but you can’t fight the feeling of loneliness
It’s there at the heart of it all
Your pulse, your breath, the heart in your chest
You battle the demons can’t put them to rest in your soul
You’ve got nothing at all you can rely on
You can rely on
You can rely on
You can rely on me
