Route Lyrics - Trace - Son Volt

Reality, it burns 

The way we're living is worse 

The pillars of inspiration are all falling down 

The clean-up won't work while the fallout goes on. 

And it's now or never, too close to the latter 

We're all living proof that nothing lasts. 

Standing in the neutral zone 

Living 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 

And it's now or never, too close to the latter 

We're all living proof that nothing lasts 

And it's here for now, transient tomorrow 

We're all living proof that nothing lasts. 

Another road remains, but it provides no more 

It can only take us away 

Southbound, you can taste the weather 

It feels like home 

And it's now or never 

Too close to the latter 

We're all living proof that nothing lasts 

And it's here for now, transient tomorrow 

We're all living proof that nothing lasts.
