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 and heavenly portal 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 that corner For tomorrows that may never come Time happens in and out of order When you finally put down your gun Savor the moments to the marrow Sink your teeth into 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 me without warning To cast a shadow on the midday sun Take it slow now, take it slow How does it feel to be mortal?
