lyrics

There on a treadmill. Won't go anywhere
Maybe that's the end of the story
Sounds like a chance is a million to one
That it can accelerate motion

The time has passed
Point of no return has come at last
The moment is gone
Waited too long
outlasted the interest

So take another step
Hey take another stride
You know that we're not
getting any younger

Try to stay relevant
Though that spark has died
Don't wanna drown so we
keep on treading water

Rest in peace oh rock and roll
Bury all your heroes
Climate change, inevitable
The heat of the summer killed us all

I sent my guitar to a nursing home
I sent my love to the days of old
I'll meet you there, if you return
There, we can watch the future burn

We woke up somewhere between washed up and deceased
Generation of casualties to the nature of the beast
