Mortal

Crystals and stones in a pile and a letter to the universe
Sometimes you feel like you're on fire
And you don't even know where it burns
How does it feel to be mortal when you believed you had a place to go?
Some far off heavenly portal where you could finally learn to take it slow

Take it slow, now
Take it slow
How does it feel to be mortal
Take it slow, now, take it slow
How does it feel to be mortal
How does it feel

Living for what's around the corner
For tomorrows that may never come
Time happens in and out of order
When you finally put down your gun
Savor the moment to the marrow
Sink your teeth in to the bone
I know that they said the road was narrow
But there's no reason you can't take it slow

Take it slow, now
Take it slow
How does it feel to be mortal
Take it slow, now
Take it slow
How does it feel to be mortal
Take it slow, now
Take it slow
How does it feel to be mortal
Take it slow, now
Take it slow
How does it feel to be mortal

Tears in the breaking summer morning
Mercury is on the run
Grief comes to meet you without warning
To cast a shadow on the midday Sun

Take it slow, now, take it slow
How does it feel to be mortal?
