lyrics

The end is waiting we are all accelerating into
The last parade we need liven up or just fade away.
Life is over for the sober, you can go on and quit
Cause only drinking stops the thinking of all of this

Another summer full of worry and a furious storm;
Raining reason but the reasoning is why we are torn.
Take it slowly, you’re a son and not a soul, don’t pretend
That you have better things to do in preparation for when

You reach the end on borrowed time.
Can’t get in line and start again.
We're walking down the end of this street one more day.
We're watching, we're waiting for weekends just to keep us sane.

Come tomorrow we’ll be workers who are working the same
Nine to fives, micromanaged, fully censored and vain.
What if life was less predictable, would you take the risk
Of dying humbly happy instead of rich and not missed?

Cause living lately takes a backseat to a handful of cash.
Now we’re driving, soon arriving at the scene of the crash.
Keep your sentimentalism to you’re senile self.
If we needed negativity we'd ask for your help.

We'll reach the end on borrowed time.
Can’t get in line and start again.
We're walking down the end of this street one more day.
We're watching, we're waiting for weekends just to keep us sane.

And we’re walking and we’re walking
Down the end of this street one more day
While we’re waiting and we’re waiting
For the weekends just to keep us sane.
And we’re on our own on borrowed time
And we can’t just get in line and start again from the beginning.
