Silence (ft. One´s Own Life)

[Verse 1]-One´s Own Life His father spoke in half-finished sentences Like lessons left cooling on the table Said, “you won’t always have a hand to follow” But the boy just smiled like he was able There were mornings built on borrowed certainty Shoes tied before he knew the knots Every problem solved before it reached him Every answer given before thought The man would stand there, arms folded quiet Watching like he couldn’t interfere Saying things like, “learn to hold your own weight” But it never really landed clear To the boy it sounded like background noise Like rain against a steady roof Something distant, something passing Not something meant as truth [Verse 2]-One´s Own Life He moved through life like it was padded Like the ground would meet him soft Like mistakes would fade before they formed Like falling wasn’t really a cost His father tried to hand him silence Tried to let him figure things alone But the boy would drift back to the surface Where everything was already known There were looks exchanged across the kitchen That the boy never learned to read A quiet kind of growing worry Hidden in what he didn’t need And every “you’ll understand it later” Just dissolved into the day Like a line he’d heard a hundred times And always pushed away [Chorus (first hit)]-One´s Own Life He thought time would wait beside him Thought the world would stay the same Thought the voice that warned about it Was just talking, not a flame, Now the silence hits different Now the weight don’t feel the same He’s hearing every word his father said But he’s the only one to blame [Verse 3]-One´s Own Life It didn’t happen slow or gentle Didn’t give him time to brace Just a moment where the world split open And erased a steady place No more voice across the doorway No more footsteps down the hall No more quiet second chances To not listen at all Now the air feels unfamiliar Like it doesn’t know his name And the world don’t bend around him It just keeps playing its game He reaches for a voice that isn’t there For a hand that doesn’t show And every lesson left unlearned Is the only thing he knows [Verse 4-fast rap]-Guster_novola Imagine wake up early brushing teeth humming your tone but then you realize you are on your own No gentle pat on head no "hi, how are u there" Hey mate listen up now you are all alone there think bout the you´re older I know you did it wearing that wiggy coming out of the supermarket saying "why I´m so busy" little odd that your parents died you couldn´t even say goodbye you fell on floor and dyed YOUR HAIR DARK BLUE (YE) don´t think you can deal with it now miss the arrow, shoot the bow you´ve been beggin to saved but nobody saw how you craved Your blood your filling I aint do billing You´re thinkin that will it be? so hard!!! [Bridge (reflective / growth)]-One´s Own Life Now he’s learning in the absence What he never learned in place How to carry every answer How to stand inside the weight Every word comes back like thunder Every warning, every sign Not as something he can question But as something now defined [Final Chorus]-One´s Own Life He thought time would wait beside him Thought the world would stay the same Now he’s walking through the silence With no one left to take the blame But the voice ain’t really gone It just lives in what he became He’s finally learning how to stand Inside the weight his father gave Funny how it all comes back when it’s quiet... -Guster_novola All the things you thought you had time to learn (pause) Guess… this is what he meant (pause) Guess… this is what he meant His father spoke in half-finished sentences His father spoke in half-finished sentences Like lessons left cooling on the table
