In the wake of that which is cold
We fill the cracks
With fragments of gold
You smell the rot?
Only time will tell if it holds
We fear the worst is still yet unknown
One more
Stray form
You smell the rot?
I’ve got the shakes again
I can’t stop thinking of what
Could’ve been
I’ve got the shakes again
I can’t stop thinking of potentially
What could’ve been

Just because you can
Doesn’t mean you should
You’re just a piece of shit
You’re not misunderstood
I can see everything at once
It just furthers my disgust
You can’t attack a pack of wolves
Without consequence
But I’m not surprised you didn’t know that
Stay away from our home
Stay away from where it stands
We shouldn’t have to change plans
I remember silence
In its purest form
In the moments
After the storm
Never mind their wretched cries
They’re the reason why it’s cold at night
Stay far away
We all look the same anyway

What felt like 20 days
Still felt the same as nothing
My life’s as incomplete
As incomplete as nothing
What’s left of me but a disguise?
A vessel crafted for demise
I can’t believe I had to die
Anything for love
What a price
Oh, Brian Wells
I never meant to do
The things I did to you
If only I’d have known
The things they’d do to you
I can’t believe they did you in
I never knew of such a plan
Believe me when I say it’s true
That I truly hoped
You’d make it through
I love you
Every empty room
I’ll be there with you
To send a freezing cool
Shiver
And every single day
Around half past two
Remember that
That it starts with you
Oh, Brian Wells
Come home

Yeah you could run for miles
Before your heart of gold
Would even start to notice
You’ll never grow old
Yeah you’re so full of courage
Embrace of the unknown
‘Cause I know you had to learn it
Mostly on your own
I’m so lucky you showed me the way
Not completely, but partially
It’s a long, and turbulent road
I’m so glad I’ve got you, I’m not alone
The greatest force of nature
Couldn’t come between
‘Cause I know you wouldn’t let
Ever intervene
Without a thought or question
You’d give everything
For the ones you love
In place of surviving
Imagine finding a compass in the woods
In a forest unexplored
Then destroying it with both of your hands
You never would
I hope you know
I’ve never wanted to kill myself
They’re guiding words to love
And nothing else

Patience
Never tasted so good
I think I bit off more than I should have
I keep crying out for more
Except I don’t even know what I keep crying out for
The answer’s hanging there in the balance
Of love, of pain, and despair
And callous
It’s no wonder why it hurts so much
Great things come from patience, not luck
I’m bleeding love from my
My body’s shift in tide
The mind follows close behind
It’s alright to feel alright
I’m tired of all the forced attempts I
There’s no need to chalk it up
Some things just aren’t what they seem
No matter how much I’d like
I’m learning now
How valuable, and delicate, and sensitive
This existence is
I’m learning now
How valuable
Life is so fragile
Time is so fragile
Under a spell
enchanted for
Longer than I could have ever hoped for

Panic attack in my room
Same shit, still miss you
I just want to be left alone
Or at least I seem to think so
How many times can I get it wrong?
How many times can I call it what it is not?
Back at it again
I could really use a friend
Suddenly cold
Creating more distance
Slipping into an unknowing
Of lost control
It’s only a matter of time and patience
I’m tired
I lay sleepless at night
Perfectly prone
And static
But I’ll make it out alive tonight
I fight with teeth and fists
To make sense of it
Now I can see right through this
I’m alive
I survived
I’ve said this all before
In search of something more
Just wait
I’ve said this a thousand times
And I’ll say it a thousand more
I’ll say it forever
Silent sleeping
Static and freezing
Shallow breathing

They come around once in a while
Their influence stretches for miles
It’s something I need to avoid
They have a way about drawing me in
They don’t care
They don’t care and that’s the way I seem to like it
Stay the fuck away
I can’t help but notice
How willing
We let this happen
On our street
Inside the minds of all our enemies
Behind the walls of darkness
Unity
Tear out their claws
And wait
Tear out their claws
And hope that it all comes to an end
Hold
Stay the fuck away from me

Breathe a weighed sigh of relief
But I know it isn’t
No it’s not that easy
What is closure? I don’t know
What that means
Something about it don’t sit well
With me
In the moments after I got the news
I made a list of all the things I’m gunna miss about you
And if there’s one thing upmost
Above all
All the memories I have of you
They come from love
Yeah I know that it’s hard
So take it right back to the start
And take all the time you need
I don’t want you to rush this
Take it right back to the start
And take all the time you need
What is closure?
I don’t want to know
The very nature of that word feels cold
It’s not that I don’t get it,
Because I do
But I’m not ready to pinpoint
A life without you
I’m waiting for this feeling to let go
But I hope that the day never comes
Forever, you’ll stay in our hearts
Don’t stand at the plot
Of land where you think
My body’s been laid
It’s empty
I don’t want you to stand
At my grave and cry
I am not there
I did not die
Valerie, Marlene

Should it so happen I die tonight
Final curtains on morning light
I just hope that there’s no confusion if
I had it in my sights
There’s beauty and there’s comfort in
All the things that make me cry
Maybe you could call it cause for concern but it
Makes me feels alive
I don’t know if you understand
But I’ve got it now in the palms of both my hands
(I feel a burning need to apologize)
This is not me calling it quits
I’m breaking down all my awful habits
I’m shedding skin
And then keeping the best of it
I don’t know if you understand
But I love my mom and my dad, and this band
And I would never take ‘em for granted
I want to see this through to the end
I’ve never felt so alone
I’ve never felt so at home
I’ve got it now in the palms of my hands
And I’ll never let it go
Wait
I’ve got a second opinion
I picked up along the way
I’d rather die in a moment of glory
Than live in fear of fucking change
Let it go
I don’t mean to make light
At the loss of a life
These words are communal
To offer a hand in the dark
Find a light!
There was a time I wasn’t afraid
Of living or dying, it all felt the same
But I’ve got it now
In both of my hands
I can’t let this go
Do you understand?
I can’t let go

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant.

The breakcore section in this track was so unexpected yet oh so welcome. Killer album

Screamo, post-rock, and a little black metal meld together for Virginia quartet Infant Island's signature immersive and melancholy sound.

Screamo with a sense of urgency that calls on big shoegazey guitar melodies to channel its chaos.

This one also took me a while to get into. It strikes me as less HC than Untitled and less poppy than Ultrapop (stupid I know). Let's call this the No Wave record. Its musical (and amusical) density is matching the persistent sound in my head right now.
