standing in November air
thought the cold wouldn't bother me
thought it'd fill my lungs with clarity
but now I'm coughing every time I speak
this is never leaving me
it is what it will always be
and I can't sleep
my mind is screaming at my body to wake
so on the TV screen I search for signs of life
retracing my steps
I'm a winning ticket with a missing number
and I wonder what I'm worth in the end
and I don't know
the first damn thing about poetry
I probably never will
but it wouldn't change a thing
and I don't know
why sometimes you just cant stay friends
but I'm hoping I'll find a new way home again
so celebrate
the things you got while you got em
'cause when there's life there's love
and when there's love there's loss
so come with me, we'll find peace
we'll buy our demons a drink and move on
we're gonna be ok
we're gonna be ok

Brendon wrote this song, as well as tracked bass and most of the rhythm guitar.
Now and then you come across an album that completely bypasses the cold, rational parts of your brain and just makes a straight beeline for your heart. You are defenseless. This is one of those records. Alexander Peterhans
came for "high in the morning," stayed for "useless friends," became obsessed with "stay asleep." this band can do no wrong. "i never thought love would be the losing side" sucks as a lyric when you're trying to be a lyricists, cuz it's just not fair. Adam Peterson

Taking cues from Midwestern emo and early ’10 pop punk, this Leeds, UK outfit are full of heart— not to mention hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 21, 2022
A new track from Pretty Matty finds the band in top form, delivering clean yet crunchy hook-laden power pop with trademark high energy. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 25, 2020
This album finely articulates the roller coaster of emotions that come with every relationship, especially those that ultimately fail. Gloomy yet cathartic. frank!
