Just a Shell Lyrics by Hellbound Glory

Streets of Aberdeen

2014

[Verse 1]
Dad don't step up like he used to
He stumbled on his way home
I nearly cried tears to the tides
I guess we're all on our own

[Chorus 1]
A man who once was a mountain
Is down to a few grains of sand
I understand where dad once would stand
There's just a shell of a hell of a man

[Verse 2]
An old friend's all strung-out and low-down
Lately he ain't been all there
Old empty eyes all hollowed inside
And that empty thousand-yard stare

[Chorus 2]
A man who ran like the rivers
Soul's dried out like it's been damned
I understand where a friend once would stand
There's just a shell of a hell of a man

[Verse 3]
Darlin', I ain’t what I once was
There's nothin' beneath this act
No reason or rhyme, just old rehearsed lines
And I hide behind this mask

[Chorus 3]
I thought I filled up some big shoes
Now I'm down in the palm of your hand
When you help me stand, you know I still am
More than a shell of a hell of a man
