lyrics
it shouldn't feel like abandoning
like I'm giving up
when I'm home it feels like I'm visiting a grave
the grass turned to concrete on the other side
and it was too hard to break my fall
you were always away from home
I can't sleep, I turn the television on and I can't understand a word
you were always away from home
and those phone calls back don't give you the comfort that they should
you were always away from home
sure, I've got some friends but they're hundreds of miles away
the shock wore off, they've moved on and they don't visit anymore
it feels like waking up in the middle of traffic
I have nothing but a dial tone on the other end of the line
and that ringing in my ears is deafening
and that ringing in my ears will never understand how badly I miss everything I had
I'd like to know what I'm running away from
I'd like to know why I'm retreating from everything I love

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
