What a mess we're in

She says “People are inconvenient, they get in my way when I am changing lanes and I can't seem to keep my temper. They grind me down to the bone, it feels like their neck and neck in a race to the bottom. If any of them amazed me at all, couldn't have been too impressive if it seems I've forgotten them. I don't think I have room in my heart for them. If we're supposed to own this place, I never felt I had a stake in it.” Such a contemplation put strain on her relations with them. She could only find the energy to come up with more enemies again. “It's hard to wait for someone else to pick up the pieces. They grind me down to the bone. Keep me from my happy home. I wish I had room in my heart for them.”

Went to the well but it dried up, you've offered us that empty cup it's left us bloated, dehydrated, a thirst that cannot be abated Shoved down your feast and became fat no leftovers for dog and cat ate until you vomit then served it up to eat again You burnt that candle at both ends expect a flame that never ends Listened for the dying groans, let culture vultures pick the bones Still amazed you found the time to study dentistry at night leave us with, no teeth left to bite still some fuel left to blaze a trail or at least to try and fail but please try resist temptation To use it for self immolation If this means mutiny I think we'd rather drown at sea Then hear another nautical metaphor Aren’t you fucking bored of every song being above board And so easy to ignore! …..........with hubris calling, we should probably heed the warning But we're so sick of bread that's stale, The snake don't have to eat it's tail But we're also out of ideas except for hacking off our ears This song's the same, we ain't tried it's simple rhymes for simple minds in four time!

Modern Dogs 02:57
These days give reasons that become quite clear to explain away how days have ended up right here making it easier to seek, a way to make it through the week, a way to bear it out and make it through another year Call off the search party I found my cabin in the woods I’ll stay There's no company I seek, I don't want that any more SO STAY OFF MY FUCKING LAWN This town like a crooked pharmacist tries to keep me from ever trying to make a fist but I kicked the habit once I broke away from all the cunce If it gets in my hands I'll hack 'em off at the wrist Call off the intervention I found my remedy in bloodied stumps There's no assembly I seek, I don't want that any more CONSTRUCTIONS SUCH A CHORE

Homefires 02:00
We'll never make it out of this house alive, we stuffed our walls with matches and tinder. Can't help but strike the same old flint, that starts HOMEFIRES and keeps us burning. The smoke is rising and pregnant with memories. Fueled by the embers of blackened mementos.

Fat Families 02:55
You phoned it in seems like no ones answering You deserve this dial tone Ain't exactly like you didn't know this grim assessment reflects your poor investment bunch of bones in a bag, You bet it on the rotting nag You packed it in moved your ass to Pakenham Square footage on a piece of land room for you and kids to expand Got someone in to widen doors steel to reinforce the floors hermetically sealed yourselves in got no need for oxygen It's fight or flight not about some settled life Don't wanna be Swallowed by Fat Families Misanthropy Is not all that there is to me Quit constantly Burning my house the ground

I don't want to see this Black Building as the wind tears it back down to it's frame. The Foreman has quit, the crew has gone home and I can't build it up again all on my own. Though they said it was an eyesore, not worth the strain of squinting eyes to look upon, I grew fond of that old bastard. It's strong construction kept me anchored to this town. If I can't rebuild it then I am up and gone. I'm useless now and that wind has yet to move on. I'll move as far as feet will take me. Across desert sand and rolling hills and vast prairie. Escape that wind that swallows whole, I'll be so far I won't notice it take you all at all. I'll grow a beard and get a dog, I need no tie, shoes or job. If any doubt that I should have stayed with everybody that's already swept away in my head should still remain, the open air will soon leach it out of my brain. Even though I made it out in time it gives me no pleasure to remind myself. But out here, it isn't lonely being alone. But I should could use some scaffolding, some tools, steel and concrete for pouring, because this is aught here to build with.

about

Graft vs Host's second EP, recorded and released after the end of the band. The songs came a long way from our first EP "Volcanoes", and showcase the more aggressive sound that was part of our live shows. The songs are about lots of things that white people in their mid 20s like to complain about.

We recorded this at our good friend and recording genius James Frazzetto's home studio in about 10 hours on 25/8/2012, about three weeks after playing our last ever show! We're pretty proud of how it sounds compared to our first EP and it does a reasonable job of conveying how we sounded live. We still really like these songs/this band/each other, but it had run its course and it was time to move on. We hope you like it!

Cheers!

Graft
