[Verse 1] They got more than they needed — but they still need more. A new phone, a big raise, a view from the 30th floor. They rush through dinners, skip the calls, miss the first steps, chase the malls. Thirties look like fifties now. Where did the years all go? You burned them down like paper just to feel like you’re in control. [Chorus] You burn, you spin, you call that a win. You’re chasing gold, but folding in. You blink, it's gone — no rewind cue. Just smoke and glass where life passed through. (call & response) Burn it. – Too fast. Earn it. – Don’t last. Trade it. – For flash. Fade in. – Then crash. [Verse 2] You taught your kid to scroll, but not to ride a bike. Bought matching outfits but missed what they’re like. Your parents shrank while your inbox grew. Did you even notice what time stole from you? You call it building but it’s just escape. You framed a life then cut out the shape. [Chorus] You burn, you spin, you call that a win. You’re chasing gold, but folding in. You blink, it's gone — no rewind cue. Just smoke and glass where life passed through. Burn it. – Too fast. Earn it. – Don’t last. Trade it. – For flash. Fade in. – Then crash. [Bridge] What if less was more than enough? What if silence was stronger than tough? What if love wasn’t bought or planned— just a minute spent, a held-out hand? [Final Chorus] You burn, you run, you call it fun. But something’s lost once speed’s begun. You blink, you fade — no second round. You lit it all and burned it down. Burn it. – Too fast. Earn it. – Don’t last. Chase it. – Collapse. Name it. – “Success.” [Outro] You called it living. But it was just… fast-forward.
