Guys i tried to make a song. Mortal vs Immortal
(Verse 1)
I’m a match struck in a canyon, a flash and then I’m gone
You’re the mountain in the distance, waiting for the dawn
I’ve got silver in my hair now, a map of where I’ve been
You’re a page that’s never folded, a book that’s never thin
I measure time in coffee cups and shadows on the floor
You don't even notice when the wind blows down the door.
(Chorus)
'Cause I’m the pulse, and you’re the marble
I’m the fever, you’re the cold
I’m the story that gets better every time that it gets old
You’ve got the "ever," I’ve got the "now"
A flickering flame and a broken vow
I’d rather be a moment that breaks your heart in two
Than an eternity of nothing, standing next to you.
