birdgit mendler - cold (an unrealsed song)

moonlight

eye to eye

Be the start

Frozen in Silence

Keep On Rising

An Electric Cover of the Original Acoustic Version
I’ve got cracks in my mirror,
Stains in my past,
Lines on my face
Where the smiles didn’t last.
But every dent, every scratch,
Maps where I’ve been,
I wear my damage
Like a second skin.

[Verse 1]
I don’t shine like I used to,
But I burn just the same.
The wind carved my story
In the rust and the rain.

Tried scrubbing it clean,
Tried painting it gold,
But it flakes off in pieces—
I’m better when I’m old.

I don’t chase after perfect,
I let it decay.
If it breaks and still works,
That’s the honest way.

Got a heart like an engine,
Little loud, little scarred.
But it roars when it’s wounded—
And that’s my favorite part.

[Chorus]
Rust is just another color, babe,
Another coat time chose to lay.
I’m not chrome, I’m not fake,
But I’m real in every flake.

No shine, no spit, no polish clean,
Just grit and love and gasoline.
Rust is just another color—
And it looks damn good on me.

[Verse 2]
You’ve got rings on your fingers,
And lines on your hands.
Each one a story
Time understands.

You laugh like you mean it,
Even when it hurts.
And that kind of beauty
Don’t come in a shirt.

You’re the burn on the vinyl,
Still making me move.
The skip in the rhythm
I never want to smooth.

We’re not made for display,
We’re not built for a shelf—
But damn if we don’t
Look like truth itself.

[Chorus]
Rust is just another color, babe,
Like a battle flag we never waived.
We don’t break, we just bend,
Worn lovers till the end.

No shine, no spit, no polish clean,
Just grit and love and gasoline.
Rust is just another color—
And it’s always looked good on you and me.

[Bridge]
Let the new shine fade,
Let the paint peel off.
Let the world call us weathered—
That’s their loss.

We’re fire and smoke,
We’re thunder and tread.
And I’d rather wear rust
Than be hollow instead.

[Final Chorus]
Rust is just another color, babe,
Not a flaw—it’s the soul displayed.
Every scar, every fight,
Is what makes the dark shine bright.

No shine, no spit, no plastic mask,
Just truth in steel and shattered glass.
Rust is just another color—
And we wear it like a badge that lasts.

[Outro]
Yeah… we last.
Even if we crack.
Rust and all…
We ain’t turning back..
