lyrics

Sometimes I feel that we were born
Only to go and absorb others’ scorn
And our Mothers they gave us our compliments
And our Fathers embodied all we resent
I was responsible and best behaved
And I abide by your rules and I always have
And if you think that you might want to step out
You better rethink this action and settle down
Though the good ache still resumes
It is a better option to be exhumed
And the mighty deterrent is to reverse
The situation…but what they deserve

As for me, you never want to see what’s for me
You never want to see what’s for me
It’s all in a headache
It’s all in a backache now.

Training is better than what it’s for
But it makes no difference you’ve done the work before
And the wage is fair, but not so life
(so you swallow these actions)
Yet you swallow this all to build the best device
It has no trigger, chamber or sight
(so what is embodied?)
So you ask what it embodies to delight
Well, I brought the demo so examine one
(but be careful my darling)
But be careful because it absorbs your stamina.

As for me—you never want to see what’s for me.
You never.
I’m going away now but I’ll be sure to write

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
