I wake up so early
The Sun has only just set
I wake up in a middle aged body
To the toilet, I must get
I wake up with no purpose
With 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 crumbs
Mortal dread
Until death comes
Mortal dread crumbs, yeah

We wake up in these brackish waters
Neither here nor there
We wake up and drift into each other
Coming 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 crumbs
Mortal dread
Until death comes
Mortal dread crumbs, yeah

I wake up and I just don't matter
Shed an invisible tear
I wake up to that grinning 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 crumbs
Mortal dread
Until death comes
Mortal dread crumbs
Yeah
Mortal dread
Until death comes
Mortal dread crumbs
Yeah
