Knuckle Puck - Pretense

I’ll take it inward so no one sees, while you find slumber on tops of trees. And after all of this I still find it hard to breathe. I taught myself things you never did. You need a spine like I need new skin, but neither will ever happen. How dare you guilt me for not sticking around as if you ever did for me? I’ll leave you in the dark with a broken flashlight. You left me with a choice and a pretense. I will not follow in your footsteps. I’ll find a face to call my own, because the mask you wear is all I’ve ever known. Consider this a repercussion of the actions which you were never properly punished for due to an overbearing demeanor brought on by your own self-awareness. Your credibility is a half-empty glass of salt water that I watched you spill over and over and over again. Go ahead, make me the bad guy. So I’ll take what strength I have left, if you could call it that, and I’ll give you time to reflect. Then you can call me back.

10 years from now we're gonna look back to 2015 when this album came out and praise the hell out of it cause this one here is fucking evergreen

[ajcristillo]

Knuckle Puck is just on another level right now.  Blown away.

[CharlieViking]

3/3 on all singles. Band is rock solid. Dat brief blast beat was pure fire.

[fjofrez]

...Replay and replay and replay again. Go ahead, make me the replay guy.

time to put this on repeat till my ears bleed

[Rizzn]

I thought The Story So Far's new album would be my favorite pop punk album of the year. Guess I was wrong.

[betes]

Not only is this song killer, but it also seems like every person commenting here is simply stoked on the music, saying nothing but positive stuff to everyone, and being super cool. Well done my friends, you made my day.

1:08 i don't think you can listen to that part without getting chills!

[daviddangerfield]

Don't get me wrong I have always loved this band but so far this album has blown me the fuck away honestly did not think they had this in them but they have more than delivered and have matured musically more than I ever would have dreamed of thank you for these songs!

[syko.uk.]

Best song so far, Knuckle Puck have come very far even from their last EP

[yafomonster]

Probably my favorite single so far. This song really reminds me of Story of the Year.

If this band doesn't have genuinely after sort success within the next 10 years, the musical world will seriously needs to reconsider itself.

[EpicRedWolf]

Knuckle Puck is really going somewhere! I love them so much.

[kyleyoung]

This is seriously gold. The chorus is the best part . " How dare you guilt me for not sticking around as if you ever did for me."

[samiboi]

This song has everything! A haunting melody in the chorus, soft parts, heavy parts, fuckin blast beats, a solid message, thank you knuckle puck for introducing me to my favorite song of 2015

[GrizzlyGriff]

I'm calling it now- this'll be the best jam on the record.

[Jordymonn]

They really can't make a bad song!!!!
