The Shell - Lucy Dacus
Written by：Lucy Dacus
I'm a ghost
Walking in a boring dream
You are there
Talking and I'm not listening
I am busy doing nothing
And you're rudely interrupting
It's a myth and now I see it clearly
You don't have to be sad to make something worth hearing
Now I'm calm and content
One more burden off my back
You don't wanna be a creator
Doesn't mean you've got nothing to say
Put down the pen don't let it force your hand
I'm a ghost
Walking on an empty street
No name anymore
No need to call for me
I'm a long lost hometown hero
Late to legendary past lives within me
If I had the offer to do it again
Make me invincible invisible or brain dead
If the body and the life were two things that we could divide
I'd deliver up my shell to be filled with somebody else
You don't wanna be a creator
Doesn't mean you've got nothing to say
Put down the pen don't let it force your hand
You don't wanna be a leader
Doesn't mean you don't know the way
Hold your own hand walk on without a plan
