Andromeda

Evenings, a tidal wave of feelings
Rush in like a sea of worry from above
Believe me, there’s a subtle breeze with
A transcendental healing
That comes from being loved
How did you get this far
Lost among the stars
Not knowing where you are
Or when you’re coming home
You’re a distant galaxy
Nowhere close to me
But you don’t have to be
Out there on your own
If I could find your constellation
I’d set my destination for
The deep space in your eyes
And I would, I'd build you a great city
And point out all the beauty
In every sign of life
CHORUS
There’s a black hole coming
And you can’t turn away
Send out a message
And I’ll be on my way
CHORUS

Comatose at 2:33

Its 2:33, the space in between
Not quite awake and not quite a dream
Trapped in a forest of wallpaper trees
Numberless shadows wrap fear around me
Is it just a restless mind or
Maybe it’s the food I ate last night
It’s 2:33 and I don’t feel right
Its 2:33, and I can’t break free
I’m counting the seconds while my love is counting her sheep
What if a thief breaks in and he can’t hear my plea
Can I protect the children as a helpless detainee
CHORUS
Then I scream and shout
At the top of my lungs
For somebody to let me out
Not a sound is heard
With my paralyzed words
An invisible mushroom cloud
Hanging over me
CHORUS

Scared To Life
02:58
|

|
Lost the beat, lost the fight
Got no shelter in the dark cold night
Lost direction, lost my mind
Don't know how I'm gonna make it right
Cause I need your love to guide me
I need you in my sight
I'm wide awake since you've been gone
And I'm feeling all alone
I've got a serious condition
Won't you fix my broken heart
There's a reason I can't sleep
Yeah I need you here with me
Only you can bring back sanity
Be my ghost in the mirror
Be a starless sky at night
Be a shadow in the graveyard
Just enough to scare me back to life
Broken string on my guitar
Just a light from a dying star
I am tired, I am cold
Overserved and undersold
Can this ember bring me heat
Or will the ashes bring relief
Only you can be my remedy
CHORUS
Baby I'm fallin', baby I'm fallin'
Won't you save me?
CHORUS

I forgot how the blue the sky can be
On a cloudless day like a movie scene
A midday moon hanging over me
Appears when it’s not supposed to be
Caught in the middle of a daydream
Reminds me that I'm allowed to be
Something you ain’t never seen
Something you ain’t never seen
Now Jesus is a friend to me
Gives me hope when I’m in need
But his church is filled with crooks & thieves
So I practice faith by absentee
I keep my head up and my nails clean
And push on when it’s hard to believe in
Something you ain’t never seen
Something you ain’t never seen
________________________________________
Man, what you think, you can think what you thinkin
Ya think that I care that you offended when I ain’t mean what you thinkin
Ya see I’ve been in the deep end with demons breedin’ all weekend
They seize an opportunity they see they gleam on a weakness
While they convene on their beaches, a bunch of leechous elitists
It’s so convenient preachin peace while all the cheaters deceive us
I concede that all these heathens are schemin to lead us
To a place where they can bleed us and delete all our freedoms
Turn the other cheek dear, ain’t you the sweetest
And now I’m a bad apple cause my trachea deepened
So praise Jesus, if he appeared you’d just call the police
So how am I to believe it that you ain’t callin ta greed
You need to disinfect yo closets cause we in need a vaccines
Clean up, in every aisle … we got rats in the chi
See I don’t buy what you sellin, so you can keep the receipts
You seem ta think that I’m rebelling cause I ain’t seen what you seen
_________________________________________________________
Some folks drive at lightning speed
Others pray for quick relief
Why don’t you be you, I’ll be me
A midday moon with a quiet breeze
Out of place but well-received
Thank God I'm allowed to be
Something you ain’t never seen
Something you ain’t never seen
Caught in the middle of a daydream
Reminds me that I'm allowed to be
Something you ain’t never seen
Something you ain’t never seen

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

Juxtaposing poetic balladry with roaring feedback and warped piano lines, the Vermonter's music is as stunning as it is unsettling.
