Green leaves, tall trees Soft sunlight on your hair Your mind feels fine We're drifting through the air Below, the rows of wheat so slowly sway Just turn the other way And look around you, just look around you There's nothing left to say Let it surround you, surround you Cool river, you shiver I pull you close to me I'm breathless, you're restless There's so much more to see Dive deeper, we're freer than we were yesterday Just turn the other way And look around you, just look around you There's nothing left to say Let it surround you, surround you Green leaves, tall trees Soft sunlight on your hair

Long black shadows crawl And they twist around you slowly 'Til you feel nothing at all You, you cannot hide When the haunting voice that frightens you Is coming from inside In the darkness of the night Who'll be there to hold you tight In the darkest hour of all Who will hear you when you call Lie in bed awake How long can you keep on fooling yourself When's it gonna break Though you try to run There's no place you can escape to After all the things you've done In the darkness of the night Who'll be there to hold you tight In the darkest hour of all Who will hear you when you call

Moving at this pace I know I'll never win the race I watch as they go by Then close my eyes and I just fly away Everything you hoped for now is gone And it becomes harder to move on When you think it might just break apart Expanding heart The walls keep falling down They crash and crumble to the ground They're not the enemy In fact they might be just who you need Did you think that you'd be left behind It is just the fear that's in your mind When you think it might just break apart Expanding heart Expanding heart Expanding heart You can't help feel a little strain When your heart's going through all of these growing pains You don't have to carry all that weight Let it go right now, it's not too late When you you think it might just break apart Expanding heart Expanding heart Expanding heart

about

"I like that this band takes inspiration from multiple eras of melody-driven guitar pop and manages to craft its own unique sound. They take bits and pieces of '60s rock and roll, classic era power pop, and even some modern garage and punk and mold it all into something that's uniquely theirs." -Lord Rutledge, Faster and Louder (fasterandlouderblog.blogspot.com/2020/03/mammals-look-around-you.html)

"Mammals play good pop music. It hooks you in and takes you along for the ride. I am reminded of my favorite hometown pop legends Bum at times. There’s a definite ’90s indie feel to this (and I do not say that as a slight). I think I love this record. I am off to find more!" -Razorcake Magazine

We really hope you enjoy our new record! THANK YOU for listening!
