lyrics

So still the sickness it stays
It’s a long, long way to the opera
At the pit of my stomach
Smoldering meat that remains all raw
Through the round-rim glasses at the bottom of

The ocean.
Come Santa take one on your knee
Take another on the side of your jaw
I might like to watch you bleed
And let the glaciers of missions thaw

I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach
It won’t go away, then I see her thigh
Whenever I get to start forgetting
I’m always reminded anyway

And then I get the urge
If I want a bit of pleasure
Then I must endure the surge
Of boredom to come afterwards.
Sacrifice. No one hassles without the
slightest motion.
Notions I’m unaware of. The insects.

Don’t make fun of me
And don’t make light of this

I don’t want to take the risk
Coming over me like a sleepy mist
From the ocean. The mellowness mixed with bile
Still produces a smile of unfailing devotion

Can a man cry and love another man
Rule until we die. What are you saying?
He tried his best. He was a friend.
I have some more. Let it wash over.
I don’t have anymore.
Don’t make fun of me and don’t make light of this

I feel let down. I wear a frown.
I sleep with my head under the covers
I get uptight. Girl that I like.
Butterflies in my gut. Go to the washroom.
Never hung out or went around

Yet I make plans for the future
I learned today about a guy.
He can’t walk proud. It’s his street too.
Girl in my eye. She don’t like me.
I wish that I was in a cheap movie.

about

owenshire Ontario

Owenshire was born when Robert Muhlbock bought a bass guitar in 1992 and began recording dozens of bass and vocal demos under that name.

Two albums, numerous "live demos," one too-long hiatus and (most importantly) one bass distortion pedal later, Muhlbock continues to release riff-based alt. rock, scattered with lush harmonies and dotted with cryptic and/or disillusioned lyrics. ... more
