lyrics

NOT THAT MAN

Gather all ye mourners
There are questions made of fire
What growls from distant corners
In the caves of your desire
Call off the wedding
Call off the hounds
He was last seen heading
Now he’s nowhere to be found

You’re not that man
You’re not that man
When you’re not the man you thought you were
When you’re not the man you thought you were

Caballero sunset
Shipwrecked on a shoal
There’s too much here to forget
At the tropic of your soul
Rat out all your culprits
Sing like a bird
May you protect your witness
May he have the final word

You’re not that man
You’re not that man
When you’re not the man you thought you were
When you’re not the man you thought you were

Dig your grave and visit often
There’s no use hesitating
Build a fine coffin
And know it’s there waiting

You were born into a fiction
Your home never existed
A well-rendered depiction
Whose echo persisted
When the story won’t hold up
It’s flawed from the start

And the columns don’t add up
In the ledger of your heart

You’re not that man
You’re not that man
When you’re not the man you thought you were
When you’re not the man you thought you were
