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 its written in stone

When the sun's heading south
And all the cows come to herd
When 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
