about

These lyrics were written as a form of trauma healing. Back in September 2017, I had just gotten out of the most destructive and abusive relationship I’ve experienced thus far in my life. For the next month, I’d been raped by my ex on multiple occasions. You never want to believe it, really. Being physically stolen by the person who’d been telling you they love you for years really does warp your perception of what love is and what it means when someone loves you. It took me years of work to rebuild the ability to allow someone to love me. Along the way, I’d been very selfish with my love. I hurt people I cared about and chose not to care about people I should’ve. Screaming these words in a small, warm and kinda dingey room was a true release and a major step in healing from that trauma. I hope that in some way this helps somebody else.
- Sarah H.

lyrics

I think about it all the time
It haunts me every day
I don’t remember what it’s like
To have carefree dreams.
And you’ll stay the same
While you run away
What is love like
When it doesn’t rape you while you sleep?
How do I keep it from scaring the life out of me?

Sepulcher

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
