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

Read, but don’t explain.
Seek to understate.
Work your brain to store
Now use it; that is what it’s for.

I saw the arrow put down.
I saw the scarecrows astound

Look to North when not in sight
Tie the knot until it’s tight
Step into the river twice
Redefine this debated life.

I saw arteries blocked
I saw the pheasant’s eyeballs pop.
The trickle left from the frost
Mixes with money the sun has dropped

I’m not complacent; I react, I resent
This film adjacent to reason, to freedom.
I think I missed my calling, it’s the end, it’s the end
Of this purposeless falling, I relent, I relent.

Sometimes I think I missed my calling
Other times I think my calling’s right here
It’s time to resist philosophical wanderings
And resign myself into a profitable career

Owenshire was born when Robert Muhlbock bought a bass guitar in 1992 and began recording dozens of bass and vocal demos under that name.
