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’ll try to picture me without you but I can’t
Cause we could be immortals, immortals Just not for long, for long Live with me forever now, pull the blackout curtains down Just not for long, for long We could be immortals Immortals
Sometimes the only payoff 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
I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass I’ll try to picture me without you but I can’t
Cause we could be immortals, immortals Just not for long, for long Live with me forever now, pull the blackout curtains down Just not for long, for long We could be immortals Immortals And if we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
[Black Thought:] They got a lot of hate for me They tryna keep heaven's gates open late for me I see the way the wolves salivate for me If I don't make it home, baby don't wait for me Shit, there was a murder up in Harlem I heard there was a riot down Georgia Out in Michigan to Watts, California God Bless Ferguson, Baltimore Chaos and less order, we could be immortal It's already gon' be another martyr It's already gon' be another murder The nature of the monster we're a part of Say a little prayer for your son, for your daughter Do a Hail Mary then run for the border Where I come from, my whole life span shorter I got stress disorder Be immortal
Cause we could be immortals, immortals Just not for long, for long Live with me forever now, pull the blackout curtains down Just not for long, for long We could be immortals Immortals
