I'd like to sit on the banks
And think about life in Riverland
I know a lookout
But I shouldn't go alone
So I'm driving suicides
Along the shoreline today in Riverland
Safe from the bloodsucking bugs
Down there waiting for me
I could live my life
Safe and sound inside
Feeling like a bruise
Sucked up with the tide
Never fear that I'm
Missing all the fun
I'd rather run
Mostly I try not to dwell
On what went down in Riverland
Facing the day can feel like
Wanting the night to fall
I thought that I might tell everyone
What happened in Riverland
But maybe I got it wrong
So how can I
Hold him to the fire
Tethered to confusion
And dressing down my own mind
Wondering if I
Brought it all to life?
I'd rather die
Still, I think I know
How he got inside in Riverland
