about

The door of the house swings slowly open, you can see it over the tops of the swaying blades of grass. A swishing sound reaches you, as something wades through the thick vegetation. The grass in front of you parts, slowly. You stare through the gap into the gloom. It stares back.

lyrics

All of our egos
And everything we know
We're going on down, back to basements

Could it be any ruder,
or more of a murder?
With mushrooms all over our mother

All the shit that we've seen
Well, it comes back to me
As a shining and meaningless effigy

And it seems to me to be pretty odd
That you speak of the devil
But you're playing God
And it seems to me to be pretty odd
That you are the devil
But you're playing God

I was replaced by a fool
With the same soul
And the same body as me
So none of this is my fault

And it seems to me to be pretty odd
That you speak of the devil
But you're playing God
And it seems to me to be pretty odd
That you are the devil
But you're playing God

And it seems to me to be pretty odd (that you are the devil)
That you speak of the devil
But you're playing God (and it seems to me)
And it seems to me to be pretty odd (that you are the devil)
That you are the devil
But you're playing God

House in the Tall Grass image

House in the Tall Grass Adelaide, Australia

Founded in the deep, dark valley of December 2020, House in the Tall Grass is the project of four old friends who needed a louder, stranger and angrier outlet in their range of bands. We're writing music for people who feel the world to be strange and proud and blue-grey and distant, but who are righteously angry and firey enough to get up and dance about it. ... more
