You think the world spins just for you, don't you see?
Every sunset's a reminder of what used to be
We chase the clock like it's never gonna stop
But time slips away with every single drop
Memento Mori, it's a ticking sound
We're all just walking on borrowed ground
Laugh a little louder, cry a little less
We're all in the same old mess
Memento Mori, don't forget to live
'Cause life won't always give what you got to give
You wear your dreams like a suit of gold
But even kings can't keep what they hold
You run so fast, think you'll never fall
But gravity catches up to us all
Memento Mori, it's a ticking sound
We're all just walking on borrowed ground
Laugh a little louder, cry a little less
We're all in the same old mess
Memento Mori, don't forget to live
'Cause life won't always give what you got to give
You can't hide from the shadow that's always near
But you can dance with it without the fear
We're not here forever, just a short stay
So make it count before it fades away
Memento Mori, it's a ticking sound
We're all just walking on borrowed ground
Laugh a little louder, cry a little less
We're all in the same old mess
Memento Mori, don't forget to live
'Cause life won't always give what you got to give
