Stand in the pouring rain
I could see my own grave
Find the one to blame
Say the shit that they won't say

Damn my back's in pain
From carrying the whole game
I could crash the plane
I could burn the whole place

And I'm not afraid
To swallow a live grenade
And blow you away
Blow you away

Cut through the static haze
I'm a spark that lights the flames
No one left to save
I'll erase what you can't face

Shadows crawl inside my brain
Nothing left but rust and chains
Tear it down, erase the name
Watch it all go up in flames

And I'm not afraid
To swallow a live grenade
And blow you away
Blow you away

And I'm not afraid
To swallow a live grenade
And throw you away
Throw you away

“The Transition” stands as a keystone track in the Basically Done Original Soundtrack, the musical companion to Donald E. Pickett’s forthcoming novel and cinematic series — the Basically Done Franchise.

This song marks the moment of reckoning at the heart of the story — when the old order collapses, and the cost of power meets the price of redemption. Within the novel, “The Transition” symbolizes the transformation of its central character and the moral shift that echoes across generations and boardrooms alike.

Musically, Pick’s Hideaway Players deliver their signature fusion of Appalachian Americana Roots, Outlaw Southern Rock, and Cinematic Folk-Rock, enriched with brass, harmonica, and layered vocal harmonies. It’s a sound steeped in grit and reflection — weary but unbroken.

The cover art’s golden boardroom sunset mirrors the narrative’s soul: the end of illusion, the rise of conscience, and the dawn of a new era. “The Transition” isn’t just a song — it’s the sound of the moment when justice breathes again, and legacy takes shape within the Basically Done universe.

The Transition

Verse
Why do I bother trying to convince you
You're such a goddamn cynic
That's not what you say when you're drunk and call me crying
You and I are both to blame
I'm not the only one you play
You're just a liar
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool

Chorus
I'm the greyhound
But I still run after you
And it's not like I didn't know you
No
I still run after you
I'm the greyhound
But I still run after you
And it's not like I didn't know you
No
I still run after you

Verse 2
I don't know why I try to convince you
I guess I can't help it
I mean
Have you seen you?
I can't blame the others for what I feel
You and I are both to blame
I'm not the only one you play
You're just a liar
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool

Chorus
I'm the greyhound
But I still run after you
And it's not like I didn't know you
No
I still run after you
I'm the greyhound
But I still run after you
And it's not like I didn't know you
No
I still run after you

Outro
I'm the greyhound
I'm the greyhound
I'm the greyhound
I'm the greyhound

Who are you dancing with in the shadows? Do you know?

Dancing with the Shadows

[Verse 1]
Your core has spoiled
And my desire for you has soiled
What a fucking waste
Oh, how I miss your taste

[Verse 2]
The juice was worth the squeeze
The lies were worth the tease
Such a toxic trait
Such a way to seal my fate

[Pre-Chorus]
Your love,
your essence
How I miss
your fucking presence

[Chorus]
Your shitty cherry blossom scent
I always knew what that meant
When you'd wear it, you left
me alone, by the phone
wondering if you'd ever come back home.

[Verse 3]
I could beg
and I could damn well plead,
but that love doesn't matter
so there's no fuckin' need

[Pre-Chorus]
Your love,
your essence
How I miss
your fucking presence

[Chorus]
Your shitty cherry blossom scent
I always knew what that meant
When you'd wear it, you left
me alone, by the phone
wondering if you'd ever come back home.
