"Can't find the worth in anything" You spoke those words and I felt their sting Still you sit broken mending alone upon that shelf Only thinking about yourself While I've been picking up on bad thoughts Won't be diseased with what you've got Here I stand broken cleaning my wounds since day one Shouldn't feel this way at so young A reality far from what we see False advertised on a T.V. screen Propitious and pristine, never once had a bad dream Sewn together tightly at the seams With age our actions fall on youth Pick up on the mistakes and they follow suit A family hopeless keeping it together for the children's sake Is only wading in the mess you made Enough of this bullshit self-destruction Looking back on all of this I feel nothing

Full Circle 02:53
Start suppressing thoughts in my head but the worst comes out instead In fake smiles and secrets you've been keeping Growing tired of this home and the grip you so strongly hold A white knuckled contempt reveals the past you've never shown Pattern all the abuse, channel the fear you can't diffuse Redirect it to every pawn that you've ever used Suddenly I'm facing everything that I can't escape Is self pity haunting me or the hatred that you embrace? If every step that I make brings me more and more alone If that's what this will take then I'll start to let you go No ties, I'm fine Can't control me this time See you on the other side When it breaks it breaks full circle

No Love Lost 04:32
You said it all along "The doors open if you like" I kept calling out your name While you made decisions out of spite No matter what I did I could never please you No matter what happened we could never see it through Gone are the days where I stay the same Time seems to slip from under me And I could never make you laugh Couldn't help but feel regret When looking back to the pain that I caused To this rotting in my chest Done with the faults and your demanding Hold on to whatever keeps you standing
4.
Solstice 04:40
Everyday dissolves the same Can't find the right direction I should be headed in But a compass can't turn back the time So I guess I'll settle with whats been placed in mine The place that we have come to know Owned by our darkest regrets Haphazard silhouettes Just wait until this mental breeze won't bare the resemblance From decades of negligence Always prone to be alone Not wrong as far as I can see Discordant melodies Question what becomes of us When long gone the sun sets behind whats left of my mind Despite all that we respite stress will follow in our lead Swift like a fever dream When that day begins to break start with a smile on my face Safe from your embrace

about

Petty Thieft's debut EP, " Whatever Keeps You Standing" delivers an outstanding blend of alternative-rock, emo, with hints of shoegaze, recalling bands like Title Fight and Superheaven. Being a fairly new band, Petty Thief seem to know exactly what they wanted to display on their first release: Cohesive tracks, filled with introspective/melancholy lyrics, twangy guitar riffs and punk drums. Sunday Drive is very pleased to present the bands first release on cassette tape.
