about

A man examines what it means to be a shell of who he once was...

lyrics

Bill could stay dry in the pouring rain, didn't have anything except wheat and sugar cane.
And he never had a woman by his side, only whiskey bottles to keep him warm at night.
Even death couldn't bring itself to laugh.
Unfinished loves, in corners they did stack.
And the man who thought of greatness once became a sort of shell,
A self-fulfilling prophecy that time hit below the belt.


That shadow of a man only made his plans for the night.
The only light he saw was the one that kept his cigarette ends bright.
That specter of a plan, it took his heart and took his hands for a ride.
That shadow of a man, only made his plans for the night.

Tries to think away these shifty blues.
Thinks on Cain and Abel, thinks on "what would Jesus do?"
And he thinks of all the forks that brought him here.
What could've been begotten in those broken, dusty years.
It seems there's been another man before,
One who enjoyed life a little more.
How to get him back when there's no button you can press
To push back the wheel of time and ask God for a hard reset.
Oh, can I get a do-over, turn me off and on again?
Guess I'll stick around and wait for where the sunlight wants to land.

That shadow of a man only made his plans for the night.
The only light he saw was the one that kept his cigarette ends bright.
That specter of a plan, it took his heart and took his hands for a ride.
That shadow of a man, only made his plans for the night.
