Something More Than Ink

(album: The Things We Carry - 2006)

Just take a fucking good look at just what you did
You set a raging fire in the heart of a kid
Your words, and the message you sent
Are held in my heart as they burn inside my head

It burns, burning inside my head
Even if you chose a different path to tread

I guess it was something inside, it was something more to us
I guess it was something inside, it was something more to us

You took a different path from the one you once set
But that's just cycle of life so take your steps ahead
That doesn't change one thing in my life
I'll never cease to keep your words alive

'Cause I still believe in what was said. I do
I'll hold on to the last thread
'Cause I still believe in what was said
Your absence doesn't bring my values' death

It was something inside
It was something more to us
It was something inside
It was something more to us
A "hero's fall"
Will never change what I think
Because at the core of my heart
This is something more than ink

Something more than ink
On a page, on a shirt, on the back of my hand
It's something written in stone
Words we wrote in stone

Something more than ink
On a page, on a shirt, on the back of my hand
It's something written in stone
Words we wrote in stone

Words we wrote in stone
Words we wrote in stone
Words we wrote in stone
Words we wrote in stone
Words we wrote in stone
Words we wrote in stone
Words we wrote in stone
Words we wrote in stone
Words we wrote in stone
