[Verse 1] A is for ashes drifting through the street, B is for the heartbeat losing its beat, C is for the clock that never turns back, Counting every mile on a one-way track. D is for the days we thought we'd never lose, E is every echo of the life we choose, F is for the fire burning bright and brief, G is for the ghosts that linger underneath. [Chorus] Mortality’s the ABC, Written in the bones of you and me, Every letter fades eventually, But we scream it out before we leave. Mortality’s the ABC, Hold my hand and sing with me, Every heartbeat writes another line, Every ending makes the moment shine. [Verse 2] H is for the hands that slip away, I is for the innocence of yesterday, J is for the journey no one can explain, K is for the kisses left behind in rain. L is for the lives we leave half-done, M is for the moon that watches everyone, N is for the names carved deep into stone, O is for the truth that we die alone. [Chorus] Mortality’s the ABC, Written in the bones of you and me, Every letter fades eventually, But we scream it out before we leave. Mortality’s the ABC, Hold my hand and sing with me, Every heartbeat writes another line, Every ending makes the moment shine. [Bridge] P is for the pulse beneath the skin, Q is for the questions with no answers in, R is for the roads that disappear at night, S is for the shadow standing beside the light. T is for tomorrow we may never see, U is for the universe swallowing history, V is for the voice that says, “You’re still here,” W is for the wildness underneath the fear. [Verse 3] X marks the silence waiting at the end, Y is every yesterday we can't amend, Z is not a ending—it’s the final key, Turn the page, burn the cage, and let yourself be free. [Final Chorus] Mortality’s the ABC, A through Z, then you and me, Every heartbeat writes another line, Every ending makes the moment shine. Mortality’s the ABC, Written in the bones of you and me, Every letter fades eventually, But we scream it out before we leave.
