help me settle down

from doofus EP (six demos) by housebroken

/

about

recorded april 2013 at the launchpad, indianapolis.

lyrics

kerosene and a lil imagination
that’s all it takes to lose your wherewithal
fell asleep to that daydream nation
woke up screaming ‘i don’t feel nothing at all’
ran through the woods and set the sand on fire
followed the water straight to the fall
if i’m a punk then you’re a liar liar
so many arguments; can I lose them all?
(and if I do what shall I win?)

i tried to change, to push, to spit on the fire
but I can’t find that sneaky little wherewithal
but everyone loves the sick and the naughty
they’re lining up for kisses by the mall
the little doctor says to just hold steady
but there’s no peace when you feel your skin crawl
were my eyelids always so heavy?
did i always wake up so appalled?
(or am I born again?)

“i’ll burn this small town to the ground, if it’ll help me settle down”

housebroken Indiana

after years of jamming and waiting for the right flannel-clad diva to front them, geoff and alex finally formed housebroken, a minimalist rock duo with heavy interests in americana, funk, post-punk and annoying time signature changes.
