lyrics
This is what our dying looks like.
A barrel, a trigger, a confused face, a change of fate. Sounds of gunshots replace churchbells. We check the news for another sermon. We wear jewelry of milkteeth: shackles of pride and shackles of shame.
We tell ourselves our fates are our own, but the future is the past and the ends are the means, and we eat our young. Dressing for unexpected funerals, hoping when friends don't answer that they're still alive. Give us a chance to stay alive and you won't die with the guilt.
There is something purely authentic and honest about Infant Island's music. These songs are substantial in their impact that go deep under the surface. The sound mix is everywhere (track 3 on headphones?!?!) with some of the slower nuanced moments giving needed space for maximum effect when the violent intensity hits. But on career highlight "Awoken," they leave nothing behind. A must hear song from an increasingly important band. bcb723
