lyrics

You wait ten minutes but who’s counting?
It’s not like you had plans to do
Rather than stand straight, I’m crouching
Must you take that now too?

What I hate
I had to wear my jacket tied around my waist
I broke the pact
Under scrutiny because I got attached

And if I jumped off of a mountain
Would you jump off of one too?
I drank from your estrogen fountain
And now you would deny me proof.

What I gave?
They put their trust in me so I guess I should behave
What I thought?
Caught me unprepared is exactly what I got
What I made?
My best caricature is the shell of an egg

If I jumped off of a mountain
Would you jump off of one too?
If you do then who will come to me after?
And that seems to be the greatest truth

So I am glad
That your healthy disposition hardly renders you mad
What I’m not
Is after your innocence when you tell me to stop

You find the images attractive
Impressionable so what do you do?
I’m blushing now because I’m flattered
Is that what you want?

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.
