Mortality Moment

Finding a breaking point
We do our best to avoid death
Existing recklessly
The weight of being caving in my chest
Worldview defense, my mortal salience
A scar without a memory
Running from my mortality

And it takes its toll
The final breath that breaks me down
Only payments in pain and suffering
And it’s getting old
These days it always feels the same
Keep me out of the darkness, let me walk away

We’re losing our focus, stuck in the motions
Paying a debt to be at rest
Lost in the moment, the tired and broken
Giving their souls for a second chance

Leave me alone to waste my days
Return to dust, my flesh and bones
Can’t understand the gravity
You raptured me home to a resting place
Return to dust, my flesh and bones
Can’t understand the gravity

We’re losing our focus, stuck in the motions
Paying a debt to be at rest
Lost in the moment, the tired and broken
Giving their souls for a second chance

Return to dust, my flesh and bones
Can’t understand the gravity
The final breath that breaks me down
Payments in pain and suffering

A scar without a memory
I run from my mortality

We’re losing our focus, stuck in the motions
Paying a debt to be at rest

We’re losing our focus, stuck in the motions
Paying a debt to be at rest
Lost in the moment, the tired and broken
Giving their souls for a second chance

(Paying a debt to be at rest)
Giving their souls for a second chance

As we look on, mortality at stake
Meet me at the gates
