First Summer Breeze
Written by Erik Kjelland, 2015
VERSE 1
Hold tight, stay with me tonight
I know, its a hardship to divide
All the glitter in this world
From the wreckage on the shoreline
These days, not much to celebrate
Build walls, and fortify the gates
There's corruption on the streets
And distrust between the sheets
But we've been through it all
Yeah we've seen it all
PRECHORUS
Every chain, can be broken
Every door that is shut, can be opened
CHORUS
Here comes the relief, oh oh oh oh
Its riding on the back of a breeze
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh
Its covering you, its preaching to me
Its the first summer breeze
VERSE 2
At times, we all lose control
A wrong step, can leave you in a hole
Filled with anger and disgrace
Failure painted on your face
Dreaming, driving through the snow
I see, no lines upon the road
There's a pileup on the interstate
Hope I’m alive when will I wake
Better slow it down
I better slow, it, down
PRECHORUS 2
Every word, every warning
Every breath you create in the morning
CHORUS
VERSE 3 (Instrumental)
PRECHORUS 3
Every life, has a purpose
Even sinners like me, who don’t feel, that they deserve it
CHORUS

Over The Horizon

I’m staring out a window
10000 feet above the cold
A fitted sheet of nimbus clouds below
Though I can’t see the highways
Or the churches where the children pray
I feel that they are safe inside today
When the world seems far away so distant
Out of reach from your tired and calloused hands
I assure you there’s a glow where the river meets the shore
There’s a good chance you will find just what you seek
Over the horizon
Are the highest mountains under me
Or mighty rivers bursting seams
An infant who is learning how to dream
I know its hard to see right now
The flowers planted in the fall
Will burst to life as soil begins to thaw
CHORUS
Please, hold tight the ones you love
Every kiss and every hug
You can never have enough
Count them one by by one

One Last Serenade

Lay down promises like fresh cleaned linens
Piled up high, ‘til the cold wind feels betrayed
We hide like children, under beds full of sorrow
And wait for tomorrow to chase those blues away
There’s a reason for the change of seasons
Falling leaves, like mile markers in the sky
How far we’ve come is, such a relative equation
I’m certain there’s a new day, on the other side
I never was the perfect statue
I walk on until there’s nothing left to prove
I’ve seen the sun go down like one last
serenade, Though my boots have all
worn through, I will walk on any way
When my days are few and my debts
have all been paid, Still my feet will keep
on movin’ I will walk on any way, walk on
Been prone to wander down fresh gravel roads
Follow footsteps to the sweet sweet by and by
A proud, determined man, framed in a mirror
I’m certain I can trust him,
cause he looks me in the eye

End Of The End

Rip off the bandage let the healing begin
Let's call it what it is, the end of the end
Pull the drapes open wide, let the fresh daylight in
Let's call it what it is, the end of the end
Two broken hearts take a long time to mend, you’ll see
And the good times live on in our thoughts and our memories
We’ve seen what we’ve seen and we’ve been where we’ve been
So let's call it what it is, the end of the end
We climbed a mountain
with the best of intent
Now the sun sets before us
and its time to descend
If we’re lucky, hit the bottom,
in time to begin
To see the sun rise again,
and a new day seep in

The Mascot Theory Madison, Wisconsin
The Mascot Theory sound has roots in the Americana genre, but the new album leans heavily into classic rock influences; harmonies that bring to mind the Eagles or America, a bit of that Rolling Stones guitar swagger, a little ZZ Top blues rock, a dash of the Pink Floyd mood, but never straying far from the core of the Tom Petty/Beatles/Poco-esque importance of solid melody and lyrics. ... more
