Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I been feeling way too mortal lately

God knows my name

She been checking for me

Clouds I see them gathering

I can hear the thunder roll and sirens sing

[Verse 2]

Existential problems, do I really know my mind

Hard to know my feelings when I'm feeling all the time

I understand the how, but now I'm questioning the why

Oh why

[Verse 3]

Oh this life moves so fast

Make my day, make it last

Oh this life moves so fast

Make my day, make it last

But I know

[Verse 4]

I been feeling mortal lately

I been feeling mortal lately, oh

[Verse 5]

I find myself praying to a god I wanna believe in

But as I'm getting older, yeah all I see are demons

I just wanna live forever begging and I'm pleading

Feel like I'm invincible, so tell me why I'm bleeding now

[Verse 6]

Living in the moment

Feeling real golden

But the diamonds in my mouth, they got me frozen

See I'm chosen

Blowing **** away with all my progress, yeah

You know this year

Looking for peace, settle for solace, yeah

Deep down, you know, deep down

I'm still dealing with, always dealing with

[Verse 7]

Sanity, that bitch keep slipping on me

Positive mentality, finding it hard to see

Hard to see

[Verse 8]

Oh this life moves so fast

Make my day, make it last

Oh this life moves so fast

Make my day, make it last

But I know

[Verse 9]

I been feeling mortal lately

I been feeling mortal lately, oh

I been feeling mortal lately, oh

I been feeling mortal lately, oh

[Verse 10]

Oh this life moves so fast

Make my day, make it last

Oh this life moves so fast

Make my day, make it last

But I know

[Verse 11]

Oh this life moves so fast

Make my day, make it last

Oh this life moves so fast

Make my day, make it last

But I know

[Verse 12]

Oh this life moves so fast

Make my day, make it last

Oh this life moves so fast

Make my day, make it last

But I know
