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. jim_fuego
Screamo, post-rock, and a little black metal meld together for Virginia quartet Infant Island's signature immersive and melancholy sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2020
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. barnaby nygren
