Don't Be An Asshole

You can be an asshole if you want to
You can be a dickhead nothing's stopping you
A goddamn son of a bitch
A mother fucking piece of shit
But why would you want to
Was on the road the other day
This dude didn't even look my way
Before he swerved into my lane
Gave me the finger and honked
Was at timmies in the line
And this dude all he did was whine
He said I'd like to speak to the manager
What do you mean there's no manager
There was no hash brown in my wrap
Life will be better if you're not an asshole
People will like you if you're not an asshole
Someone might fuck you if you're not an asshole
So don't be an asshole
Don't be an asshole
Don't be a butthole

Rising
03:12
|

Through the window of broken society
Nothing can bring back what used to be
Yesterday too far from reach
The distance is hard to believe
But no one will say who's to blame
When coming to terms of defeat
So we're RISING over and over my friend
Yeah we'll try again facing the pain and contempt
Hoping the change isn't far from the way in which we have all come to depend
Yeah we're rising over and over again
Silent scream inequality
Falling dead down the empty street
Faces changing the policy
Hidden where no one can see
But when they've been made
Seize the day and ask yourself what you believe

Unlearn
02:00
|

|
I see you there speaking loud and clear
But the point is still a bit fuzzy
I'm standing by under this watchful eye
Soaking up the misery
This shit is fucked up nine ways from two Sundays ago
Highlights of a brand new low
The dirty bird catches the worm
The hangman takes his turn
Some things are so hard to unlearn
You point at me say that I should be
Questioning my decency
I call you out ready to charge without a doubt
Then on to the next tragedy
I come for you you come for me
They say it’s the way it should be
But I can't help but wonder if we could stand together
All the amazing things we'd see

Jacob's Sweater
02:33

Jacob went thrifting yesterday in cold weather
He saw some complicated patterns bought a new sweater
The piecede resistance of his whole lifetime
He's washing it to wear to the show tonight
He's the master
He's the master
Master of his domain
Jacob got a new sweater he never looked better
I think I might need to steal his sweater
He got a new sweater he never looked better
I think I might need to steal his sweater
Jacob is drinking a beer inside a can
He's got his elbows out he's dancing to the band
He goes to the hotdog cart to buy some street meat
Condiments all over that greasy glizzy
He's got a mustard stain
Mustard stain
Jacob ruined his shirt
Mustard mustard

Fragments
03:14
|
|||
|
Why should I just wait and wait 'til
There's no reason why
I can't even understand the
Self that I'm beside
Don't trust the world that I see
Fragments of broken dreams
Come as no surprise when
Everything seems so impossible
Like it feels just out of reach
I know that I'm not invincible
God it's killing me but I can't resist
Curious and complicated
Though I don't know why
Choice emerges from the darkest
Corners of my mind

It Is What It Is
02:09
|
|||
|
I don't care what you think of me
Can't just break down my dignity
I see through the hypocrisy
And you don't get to tell me who I should be
You can run but you'll never get away from it
I know why you say the things that you say
I see it coming and I'm not afraid
Lead follow or get out of the way
Dear friend of misery my mind is not gonna change
Listen to the voice of reasoning
Can't deny it when it's happening
Growing louder 'til it’s deafening
Come together and the voices will sing
Dear friend of misery
Your words mean nothing to me
Ok you've had your say
My mind is not gonna change

Six Stray Hairs
02:39
|
|||
|
It's just a little maintenance
Hold still and suck it up
Why are you getting so stressed
It doesn't hurt that much
Well it might be cool to raise the bar
Beyond how bangable we are
'Cause sometimes my whole mood can change
it’s kind of hard to explain how
Six stray hairs
Found in random places
Six stray hairs
can throw me off my basis
Spending time and energy
combating my own body and
Six stray hairs
Glass ceiling window shopping
Yeah it must be nice up there
Would you consider swapping
It’s toxic down here
Poison products blades and wax
Charging my health and pink tax
Why is my sense of self worth
Measured by the length and girth of
Results of youth obsession
Doing what you can to stall
Pedocentric expression
I'm so sick of it all
Their voice now internalized
Self imposed objectified
If pain is beauty its so sad
That we want it so bad

These 4 Walls
02:47
|
|||
|
Since 13 I've had the same theme
I just keep moving through constant instability
No more than 13 months I've spent in the same home
I don't get comfortable I'm so Impossible
Between these walls I can be hidden
They are identical to all the bedrooms I've lived in
The days feel long when I don't wanna be alone
After all these years I've learned how to call my body home
I know I'm afraid of my lonesome days
No reason to escape no plan to walk away
And while breathing deep making my chest inflate
My thoughts are at bay I fall back asleep
So I stay awake waiting for the rain
Does it even matter what I'm doing anyway
Just need to catch my balance
And just meet myself where I'm at

Reality
03:26
|

|
I found the edge of the world where nobody's breathing a word
If I should tumble over the ledge who's gonna save me
Nothing's gonna change me nothing's gonna change me yeah
I lost my mind again but I can't remember when
The paper moon and the padded cell they're coming to take me
Nothing's gonna change me nothing's gonna change me yeah
Nothing's gonna change me nothing's gonna come and
change my mind again
It's been so long and now its gone
I had it all but I gave it up
‘Cause it felt so wrong
and I don't need another chance
It was never gonna last
Can't face it again reality
REALITY
I saw the brand new day the veil was torn away
I couldn't remember what I had said and so I betrayed me
If this is the final word I'm lost in a brand new world
Is anybody out there that I can't see coming to save me

One Day At A Time
02:51
|
|||
|
Sometimes I feel like a runaway
And I don't know which way to go
Can I be free or will I be
Just another heart without a home
The whole world seems to be turning on me
I can feel the change inside
Hold on to days I remember
And dreams that remind me that I’m alive
Whoa one day at a time
whoa gotta keep on trying YEAH
It's so hard to see the differences between
What's wrong and which way is right
Gone are the days when the promises were made
In a trust that I could confide
Alone in a world that has grown beyond
What I'm sure was meant to intend
And heads are laid in a bed that was made
Imagining a world without end

Encore
02:59
|

|
Another drink to take my troubles away
You know the world is going to hell
No time to think we're spinning out of control
Yeah we're digging a hole I can tell
And where it stops man nobody knows
If its with or without
of all the things we should have better known
Just to think for ourselves
One more song
One more song
One more song
One more song
Would you take the other side If I fail to comply
Is my soul prepared to die for our cause yeah
One more song
Now it seems that what was taken away
Has been taken away again
You'd better believe what you're fighting for
Has gotta break before it bends
They take and take but its never enough
And they don't care if its wrong
I only need to decide for myself
and its been way too long

Upstairs Downstairs
03:04
|
|||
|
Don't know if you're hearing voices
Witness what's not there to see
Deregulation medication
At four in the morning
When my doorbell rings
It's mean to say but I don't care
Standing in my underwear
shut the door Im going back to sleep
Leave me alone
Just stay far away from me
Pretending you're my friend
When I have something that you need
Leave me alone
And I'll do the same to you
Forget you ever heard my name
And I'll forget you too
I don't know what world you live in
Delusional the whole day through
Unforgiven and uncool when
Your kid screams
He's done with you
It's mean to say but I agree
listening so happily
Nice to see you get what you deserve
If I ever change my mind
Become stupid deaf and blind
When I die may dogs shit on my
grave

Doghouse Rose Toronto, Ontario
Rooted in melodic punk with a hint of new wave and good old fashioned rock n roll,
their vibrant melodies, thunderous
rhythms, and candy sweet vocals deliver stories of
chasing dreams, hard luck times and not taking life too seriously.
