Owl Song (Demo) Lyrics

I walked out of my house

And saw an owl stare me down

Its eyes showed no surprise as I

Came close to look around

Instead, it kept on staring

Just to open its beak

And ask me how the weather is

In a language we both speak

I hit it with a rock

'Cause owls aren't supposed to talk

Then walked back in my house

To take a nap

And in my dreams appeared

My feathered victim looking weird

One of those round eyes

Missing from its head

It said it put its eye

Right in the corner just to see

The moment that I die

So that its soul could be at peace

I said that was impossible

I'm never gonna die

Then I took off my right shoe

And threw it in his one good eye

Yeah, I hit that bird again

Looked like he asked for it to me

'Cause he looks so much scarier

And now he's in my dreams

Whatever guilt he was trying to manifest

I fist-fought off and I'm feeling my best

You came down the stairs

And saw me talking to myself

I said the owl I had killed

Came to show me how it felt

The next day you were gone

So now I guess that it's just us

I give a big ol' toothy grin

So he doesn't think he won

I guess we're roommates now

Although he never helps with bills

Just watches with one eye

Gives me a look I think could kill

But secretly I fear the day he wants to leave my home

'Cause if he does, then I'd be alone
