about

This project is derived from an incessant need to write alone and without chatter. the goal of One Hundred Owls is to hash out whatever may come, accept all mistakes and revert back to the greco-roman ideology of divine spirits leading the artist like vessels, effectively removing the ego.

This ideology was brought into context through Elizabeth Gilbert's TEDTalk: A Different Way to Think About Creative Genius.

Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius.

lyrics

Feeding junkies, cold cake
like the hands of an, old wine
and the threads come together like, simple little marionettes.

Celebrating self made old prisons
watch me as I cut run and kill them, its simple.

You've been around the block like a school girl
knowing when to say yes but never knowing when to say no
why would we say no why?
I've no reason, yes.

How do we try not the other stars?
Stand down, higher, higher.

There seems to be a misunderstanding.

Turn off the radio
and let the olive hand it down
just like a spade dog
down all the children's throats
pay attention
just like you take the hind

innocence! innocence!
of a tennis star.

How can we try round the others stars, stand down, higher, higher!
