about

Inspired by Standing In Another Man’s Grave, by Ian Rankin.

lyrics

Like the stories of the ancients
Fairy tales and urban myths
I convince myself
Something fresh to hold
deep inside I know
but they keep saying so
that this case is,
col-old
A deep need
too seek
The truth
In front of you
Something fresh to hold
deep inside I know
but they keep saying so
this case is
Something fresh to hold
deep inside I know
but they keep saying so
this case is, col-old
Small shreds
Fallen
Fingers tread
Through old news
Stitched together with a thread of hope
Deep inside I know something’s close
I must trust the way the dust lies
Something fresh to hold
deep inside I know
but they keep saying so
this case is
Something fresh to hold
deep inside I know
but they keep saying so
this case is, col-old
And like the stories of the ancients
fairy tales and urban myths
We see the signs, and we convince ourselves
I convince myself.
