Music & Lyrics by Ben Visini
Recording & Editing by Ben Visini

Dedicated to the best cryptid of all

THE PLAN:
This is part of a project I'm doing called "7-Day Songs"! I'm challenging myself to write, record, and edit a new original song/video each week, every Tuesday. Doing this for a full year!
I'm mainly a piano player & songwriter, not so much a recorder/mixer at all, so please bear with me as I try to improve these upcoming weeks!

LYRICS:

7 feet tall
Glowing red eyes
Stare too deep
You'll surely meet your demise
Spreading his wings
And taking off to the skies
There goes the
Mothman

Cryptid of fame
They've known his face
Since '66
In West Virginia's Point Place
You can drive
But he won't give up the chase
You can't escape the
Mothman

If he's the cryptid you wanna see
Go to those igloos of TNT
Bipedal creature of mystery
Might be no proof but I still believe
And still to this day
The hype won't go away
Forever here to stay
One day I'll find a way to find you
Mothman

100 miles
per hour in the air
Even the bravest souls on Earth
Are too scared
Not a sandhill crane or an owl
Or a bear
It's undeniably the
Mothman mothman mothman mothman

Angel or Demon, you make me whole
I think about you and lose control
The only way I can soothe my soul
To celebrate at the festival
Hopefully I will find
Others similarly inclined
Who can't get him out of their mind
I'm overcome by the oh so fine
Mothman

The statue stands
As firm as a brick
But why's he gotta be
So thicc

Out in the woods
The dark of the night
Suddenly I can see
A faint red light
As I'm approaching
It takes off in flight
Was that really the
(mothman)

If he's the cryptid you wanna see
Go to those igloos of TNT
Bipedal creature of mystery
Might be no proof but I still believe

In the mysterious creature who
Made me feel brand new
All the cryptozoologists know too
And he's coming for you
Yeah he's coming for you
And there's nothing you can do

Mothman
