~if it's true, it isn't new
  it is tried & it is tested
  it is followed through

  can't erase, can't replace
  what I feel for you
  but if we wait for fate
  we'll be old news~

(cover image from Chihuly Museum in Seattle, WA)

old news

~I won't even hear you if you call my name
  put the pictures side by side, the little girl is not the same
  
  I knew it was poison but they all said it was rain
 'you sound just like an angel, so why would you complain?'~

every inch - music/lyrics by shelby jean


[verse 1]
I stand alone, feet in the water
hand on my sword, eyes on the sky
I'm in the right, but victory's bitter
watching you fall so I can rise

I was a good man, wasn't I?
I was a good man, so why?

[chorus]
can't I shake your ghost?
can't I find my peace?
can't stop clenching my fists
or grinding my teeth?
all I've ever done
all I ever will do
every inch of it somehow
still belongs to you

[verse 2]
I ran the ruins, following fire
the ashes are cold, but I'm not relieved
pacing the graveyard, with smoke in my footsteps
cursing the hero you had to be

I was a good man, wasn't I?
I was a good man, so why

[chorus]

[bridge]
I used to tell myself it wasn't worth the time
but now there's nothing else to keep me from wondering why
you had to hold so tightly to your pride
you couldn't ever let a dead thing lie, and now neither can I

[inst. break]

[chorus]

every inch
