'written In Stone' Parts 1 and 2
Part 1
I write and write, but nothing changes/
I scream and scream, but my voice is silent/
I feel my life is written in stone/
Carved and written by my blood and bones/
You laugh and laugh, I think silent suicide/
You become ashes and smoke, your my cyanide/
You feel your life is written in stone/
We try and try, and we continue to try and strive/
We learn and learn, but as arrogant as a primitive tribe/
Our future, destiny, and life is written in stone/
Part 2
I read the stone slowly/
To analyze the thoughts and process life as I get older/
I understand the written language/
Because it is my thoughts and my soul/
That make me the fish out of the bowl/
I gasp for life, each second becomes precious/
I cannot escape what makes me... me/
I bleed upon the stone, which is written by my own blood/
When will the scar heal/
