lyrics

Maybe I don’t want to grow up tall
Maybe I don’t want to grow up at all
Maybe I don’t want to grow up free
Maybe I don’t want you to grow up through me

Because there’s much more than ghosts in my head
Making me sick to my stomach
Making my face turn blood red
Telling me all that I wasn’t

I’m in awe
Of this medicine ball
I’m distraught
With this particular cause
It’s in all of us
We are the mannequin dolls
And I’m at odds
With these inherited flaws

Maybe I don’t want to grow up tall
Maybe I don’t want to lift up this medicine ball
Maybe I don’t want to grow up clean
Maybe I don’t want to dream these repetitive dreams

Because there’s much more than hope in my head
Making me sick to my stomach
Making my feelings regress
Feeding this all with my silence

I’m in awe
of this medicine ball
I have seen all of this
Somewhere before
I can’t stop these petty insults
I can’t stop these competitive thoughts

Maybe I don’t want to grow up tall
Maybe I don’t want to grow up at all
Maybe I don’t want to grow up clean
Maybe I don’t want to dream these repetitive dreams

I’m at odds with this Medicine ball
I’m at odds with a benevolent God
I’m at odds with these repetitive flaws
You are a doll
You are a mannequin doll

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.
