Point Pleasant was inspired by The Mothman Prophesies and then ignited my interest in writing music within this strange paranormal/cryptid idiom. This song explores what happens when we allow our fascination with the unknown to lead us into an obsessive dead end. These things can leave us isolated and questioning everything we believe.

Lyrics

I’m watching lines flash by on the highway
somewhere between Richmond and D.C.
I can feel that I am slowly fading
so is she, her memory feels like a dream

I come and go for just a moment
awakened in a place that I have never seen
the only light that is provided
are two red spots beneath the canopy of trees

now the car begins to stall
is there anyone at all

in Point Pleasant, West Virginia
how did I get here, and how long was I asleep
I need to find my way to Richmond
maybe ask this stranger standing in front of me

I met a man who says he’s seen me
the past three nights outside his home
but I swear I have just arrived here
he swears that we are not alone

in Point Pleasant, West Virginia
something’s watching in the dark
many claim that they have seen him
but one man knows his name by heart

last night I spoke with Indrid Cold in my hotel room alone
he told me secrets that I hold, and she will soon be coming home
have I lost all reality trying to solve this mystery

in Point Pleasant, West Virginia
over the river a bridge begins to sway
and forty-six with Christmas presents
fell to their death wondering if Jesus is the way

is there anyone at all
is there anyone
