Mortal Dread

I wake up so early
The sun has only just set
I wake up in middle-aged body
To the toilet, I must get
I wake up with no purpose
No raison d'être
I wake up and the world is changing
I don't feel any different yet

Mortal dread
Until death comes, mortal dread grows
Mortal dread
Until death comes, mortal dread grows
Yeah

We wake up in these brackish waters

Neither here nor there
We wake up and drift into each other
Comin up' for air
We wake up and every breath is precious
Pulling each other down
We wake up, try to save each other
We wake up and then we drown

Mortal dread
Until death comes, mortal dread grows
Mortal dread
Until death comes, mortal dread grows
Yeah

I wake up and I just don't matter
Shedding an invisible tear
I wake up to that dreaded spectre
As a younger man, I used to fear

Mortal dread
Until death comes, mortal dread crumbs
Mortal dread
Until death comes, mortal dread crumbs

Mortal dread
Until death comes, mortal dread grows
Mortal dread
Until death comes, mortal dread grows
(Mortal dread) Yeah
Mortal dread
Until death comes, mortal dread grows
Yeah
