Lyrics:
You're the reason
Aliens would come down to earth
Outer space must look small
From inside your universe
We paint time
With the colors of our lives
With what we do to survive
If I were the branch
Of an old oak tree
I hope you'd be the one
On the swing tied to me
Your love is on a need to know basis
And I need to know right now

Countdown to the new album:
Bloodline Maintenance
July 22!
Here's track one, "Below Sea Level" from a soundcheck at the Hollywood Bowl, celebrating its 100 year anniversary. Pre-order album/vinyl here.
LYRICS:
I fear that everything is happening in this world
Some days it brings me to my knees
You said I dropped in on the wrong planet
As if it were up to me
When I'm down in
My heart pounding
Below sea level
We belong to us
Glitter covers the dust
My best efforts met with disdain
Surrender by another name
A deep breath
Is all that's left
Below sea level
Read in the papers
Watch on the news
Planet's hanging on
By the string of its shoes
You sing high
I'll sing low
Down where daylight dare not go
Below sea level
🎥 Adam Keely
Sound: Danny Bernini
Band: Leon Mobley, Oliver Charles, Chris Joyner, Darwin Johnson, Alex Painter
