lyrics

Let me tell you a story bout a muted mandolin
Never got played cause it’s strings were too thin
No wood outside, worn out within
It’ll probably end up in a garbage bin
(Repeat)
Played around the world by a million hands
It’s got blue grass folk and punk rock fans
In America, Germany, UK, and Japan
Bouncing with the band in a mini-van
(They all go!)
Play that mandolin! (x4)
Let me tell you a story bout a muted mandolin
Never got played cause it’s strings were too thin
No wood outside, worn out within
It’ll probably end up in a garbage bin
Muted mandolin sure got passed around
But got lost somewhere in some muted town
Now it’s just dying to be found
Dying to play make a sound for a dying crowd
I told you a story bout a muted mandolin
Never got played cause it’s strings were too thin
No wood outside, worn out within
It’ll probably end up in a garbage bin

Empathize!
by Sadfishing

Empathize is the 80's-esque trans anthem you never knew you wanted, and the 80's desperately needed. With a well balanced mix of hope and exhaustion, a raw ballad and epilogue, Empathize will entrance Raccoon Venom
