Written in Stone - Ólafur Arnalds

When I'm all by myself The silence seems so absurd Dripping words from my mouth It never feels like I've heard And I feel like I'm done "I'm tired", is all I can say When it wears down my health It's time to take this away 'Cause when it breaks down It's like it's written in stone And when it fades out I feel the pain in my bones It's like it's written in stone When the sun's heading south And all the cows come to herd Will the flames get snuffed out By the screams of the birds? And I feel like I tried To quiet all my dismay But it tore me apart The violence out on display 'Cause when it breaks down It's like it's written in stone And when it fades out I feel the pain in my bones 'Cause when it breaks down It's like it's written in stone And when it fades out I feel the pain in my bones It's like it's written in stone Like it's written in stone Like it's written in stone Like it's written in stone

Some of y'all never took a risk and it shows Comfortable but how y'all still living at home Gave up too early, didn't stick to your goals You gotta risk it all to get it written in stone I hit the open road, everything I own in the back seat Tears down my momma's face, pops tryna combat me The black sheep, whiting out the script that dad written for me Hoping in the end that I'll come and show my wits importance Blisters hard to reach, the biggest misconception Investing time in me and in return I'll skip depression All that work for someone else to build your dream propaganda That they teach while we young and weed doesn't breed a commander He's sad I haven't talked to my dad in three months now Nurtured a pen and the paper ain't futhered my education, shunned out His generation rolls like secret sevice I don't copy docs Fuck security I'm in this bitch without a body guard I know what's to come for me Took a couple 'L's but my bounce back game rooted deep like a rubber tree I cut the seams, don't fit into the pack because I become the lead I'm seeing there's a whole lotta yous but only one of me Some of y'all never took a risk and it shows Comfortable but how y'all still living at home Gave up too early, didn't stick to your goals You gotta risk it all to get it written in stone I'm saying some of y'all never took a risk and it shows You look comfortable, how's living at home Crazy what'll happen when you stick to your goals You gotta risk it all to get it written in stone I'm finally understanding everything, designing my path Realized the only thing I never got was time to relax That 60 hours plus a week, that job got me drained But I can't stand the thought of someone else deciding my pay While most decided to wait, that shit aligned with your fate You got content and you relied on those provided escapes Too many excuses, you gon wait until the timing is great That set of mind states fucked, cause you can die any day Look at my leg work To make some movement, gotta take the baby steps first But I made it mine, I need it now like J G Wentworth I'm passing up on pussy, ooh curving tens hurts But lessons learned I won't regret her Married with kids, it's fine y'all don't understand it But I interpret all the truth from what y'all say underhanded Yeah I thought it, I felt that I went and acted upon it Chasing the sun, my future bright Ain't looking back on the dumb, no Some of y'all never took a risk and it shows Comfortable but how y'all still living at home Gave up too early, didn't stick to your goals You gotta risk it all to get it written in stone I'm saying some of y'all never took a risk and it shows You look comfortable, how's living at home Crazy what'll happen when you stick to your goals You gotta risk it all to get it written in stone
