Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Reality, it burns
The way we're livin' is worse
The pillars of inspiration are all fallin' down
The clean up won't work
While fallout goes on
[Verse 2]
And it's now or never
Too close to the latter
We're all livin' proof that nothin' lasts
[Verse 3]
Standin' in the neutral zone
Livin' on sleep deprivation
The rural route sleeps while the city bleeds all over itself
Over the falls in a barrel
Is where the answers have gone
[Verse 4]
And it's now or never
Too close to the latter
We're all livin' proof that nothin' lasts
Here for now
Transient tomorrow
We're all livin' proof that nothin' lasts
[Verse 5]
The Mother Road remains
It provides no more
It can only take us away
[Verse 6]
Southbound, you can taste the weather
Feels like home
[Verse 7]
Now or never
Too close to the latter
We're all livin' proof that nothin' lasts
Here for now
Transient tomorrow
We're all livin' proof that nothin' lasts
