(If we fight, let the walls we built so high up falling so low)
(Falling so low)
Can ya make the time stop?
It’s moving too fast
They wanna get first place
I’d rather be dead last
I wish we could live forever in this moment
No, I never wanna pass away
Yeah, uh
We take for granted, instead of taking advantage of
All the little things that life’s constantly handing us
But life is beautiful, truly I couldn’t ask for more
I’m blessed to be myself and honestly that’s all I’m asking for
I know it’s hard to see the beauty in the struggle
Sometimes we get so caught up in our feelings we just see the trouble
A couple times a day I try to shrug the stress away
But pain is so subjective, while perspective gets to call the play
And in this day and age, the pressure of success can crush you
Spent so much time prepping for the future that the present rush you
So take a moment, appreciate the life you livin
Only given one, so take advantage till it’s taken from you
Memento Mori
Why we gotta end this story?
Why we gotta end this story?
Why we gotta end this story?
Memento Mori
Why we gotta end this story?
Why we gotta end this story?
I don’t wanna end this story
Make the time stop
It’s moving too fast
They wanna get first place
I’d rather be dead last
I wish we could live forever in this moment
No, I never wanna pass away
Yeah, uh
Life is precious so cherish it while you’ve got the chance
I’m trying to teach myself to see the good in every circumstance
'Cause you never know when your times up and it’s time to go
So best to treat today like any day could be your funeral
See when we’re young we tend to think that we’re invincible
But nothing in this life is guaranteed and that’s a principle
To live by, sometimes I wonder will I
Live to see my thirties, pass my eighties, or not live to see the Sun rise
Uh, so every night before I close my eyes and fall asleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Yeah, now take a moment, appreciate the life you livin
Only given one, so take advantage till it’s taken from you
Memento Mori
Why we gotta end this story?
Why we gotta end this story?
Why we gotta end this story?
Memento Mori
Why we gotta end this story?
Why we gotta end this story?
I don’t wanna end this story
What do you look at?
(I mean, I think I, I look at for me)
(As being able to touch and, and affect people in a positive way)
(And have, have music that, that lasts for a long time, have a long career and um)
(Just, you know, being able to be influential in, in a positive way)
