The Shell Lyrics - 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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
