MORTAL [Verse 1] I built cathedrals out of matchstick bones, Prayed to the silence when God was gone. Every halo I wore turned to rust, Every promise of love turned to dust. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t call me holy, don’t call me pure, The flesh is weak but the ache’s still sure. [Chorus – snarled, jagged] I’m mortal too— I bleed just like you. I’m human, baby, you’ve forgotten, Now the air between us stinks, it’s rotten. Mortal, mortal— Say it true: I’m mortal, and I’m nothing to you. [Verse 2] You crowned me holy but I cracked the frame, Love’s just a weapon when you call it a game. Every vow’s a shadow, every kiss a scar, You wanted forever—do you know who we are? [Pre-Chorus] Don’t call me savior, don’t call me divine, I’m a ghost in the mirror, a blade in the spine. [Chorus – harsher delivery] I’m mortal too— I bleed just like you. I’m human, baby, you’ve forgotten, Now the air between us reeks, it’s rotten. Mortal, mortal— Say it true: I’m mortal, and I’m nothing to you. [Bridge – half-snarled, half-sung] Carve my name in cathedral glass, Watch me shatter when the light won’t pass. Kiss the cracks where the truth bleeds through, If I’m broken, I’m broken for you. [Final Chorus – screamed / distorted] I’m mortal too— I bleed just like you! I’m human, baby, you’ve forgotten, Now the air between us stinks, it’s rotten! Mortal, mortal— Poison proof: I’m mortal, and I’m nothing to you. [Outro – fading into distortion] Mortal… mortal… I’m mortal too.
