Immortals

They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be.
I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way.
I'll be the watcher of the eternal flame.
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams.

I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass.
I try to picture me without you but I can't.

'Cause we could be immortals
Just not for long.
And live with me forever now,
You pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long.

Sometimes the only pay-off for having any faith
Is when it's tested again and again everyday.
I'm still comparing your past to my future.
It might be your wound but they're my sutures.
