lyrics

I rescued a bird and I think it felt better than me.
(Deprivation of air. I made a killing.)
Melted the carpet through my soliciting
(The house is very dirty)
The Partisan cloud was free floating through my Red Sea.
(Where are you now? It’s all left to the Ivory)
And you dressed the wound so it looks so much better,
it smells so much better, it feels so much better.
Why are you so able now?

When I write it I don’t like it.
And that’s enough.
Thanks a lot.

He grasps the plot ‘cause he thinks so originally
(but my letters never arrived)
Hold that thought, I think I hear a soft subtle plea.
(Which one of us has the mercy?)
I called from work and asked for extension 903.
(The voice was robotic, distant and always phony)
Instructed them all with logic and hard imagery.
(The next one to cry is the next one to die, no acting)
When he goes home he attacks the next thing that he sees.
(You make it all worthwhile when we conceive)
And you dressed the wound because it looks so much better,
it feels so much better, it smells so much better.
Why are you so stable now?

When I write it I don’t like it
You only cry when you’re frightened
You only believe when you’re frightened
That’s enough.
Thanks a lot.

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
