about

This is a live demo. Imagination is needed to appreciate what this song could be at its full potential. A studio version is forthcoming.

lyrics

She broke through the atmosphere
that no one knows about
She wrote my autobiography
without my help
She spoke all the instructions
with proof I'll have no doubt
She don’t give a second glance
that know one knows about

Ah what we want is what we can't deny
What we want is how we feel inside
To complement the absence in our lives
You pretend but still I can't

She hopes for a holiday
to rest her weary frame
And though he provides everything
it’s never quite the same
Well, I don’t know how to swim
so I'll never cross this moat
She said to avoid the water’s
like cutting your own throat

Breathe through your mouth
Drink to your health
Ah what we want is what we can't deny
What we want is how we feel inside
Burn the bridges, cutting all the ties
To complement the absence in our lives
You accept but still I can't

Maybe I should retire
Maybe then I’d acquire
All these worldly desires
Maybe I should retire

Ah what we want is what we can't deny
What we want is how we feel inside
Ten commandments, you just obey five
This contract binds us even when we die
Ah what we want is what we can't deny
What we want is how we feel inside
All that you know's cutting your own throat
You accept but still I can't

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
