I spent last winter sleeping in / between restless shifts
and the festive season is something I no longer miss and I hate this
but as far as my arm can reach to / turn on my dusty TV
I'll stay planted here in bed
I made another fake email / to try watch some films
limping like running a three-legged race and popping back pain pills
but I'll leave it to future me / to forget
and cough up the bill / when I really haven't got the money
but it doesn't matter to me / flashback to when I was 14
I spent the winter / sick in bed
watching Batman on TV and you stuck with me
oh if you can be my Selina Kyle
we can pretend we're not behind our masks for awhile
if you steal the cash and then I take it back
just as long as we're both back in time for bed
and my / life needs a bit of mystery
do you think / you could show me?
pencil to paper, put my anxious-growing-pain-long-limbs to use
back when I had the time to do anything productive but now I refuse
so I'll spend all of my free time awake at night
just hoping to find / a reason to go back to sleep
they say that mistletoe can be deadly / if you eat it
but a kiss / can be even deadlier if you mean it
oh I mean it
if you can be my Selina Kyle
we can pretend we're not behind our masks for awhile
if you steal the cash and then I take it back
just as long as we're both back in time for bed
and my / life needs a bit of mystery
do you think / you could show me?

Such a good EP! each song just gets stuck in your head like a parasite, I love it so much
Also didn’t expect to relate to Pretty Boi as much as I do… Wil Stevens (Fan Acc)
Energetic math-rock riffs, gravelly punk vocals, and midwestern emo textures come together in cathartic fashion on the Oregon band's debut. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 11, 2023
