Lyrics:

Well, shit’s went south long as I remember
Black cat hissing at me under a ladder
All banged up, reaching for my wallet
Only found a knife and the devil in my pocket
Thought about a way to sneak up into heaven
When God ain’t lookin’, I’ll take an angel hostage
All banged up and done with hard livin’,
‘cause the bad gets worse, and my sick is turnin’ septic

Please, take me from this earth
Don’t wanna be a lingering curse

Another day ends choking me to sleep 
in a dive-bar haze while the stray souls drink
Woke up deaf from the alleyway’s scream
I tipped my hat to the ghost leavin’ me
A lady walkin’ by spat in my direction 
A city dove seemed to laugh at my rejection
So, again I go, circles in the gloom
in this rickety heart of an old, empty room

Please, take me from this earth
Don’t wanna be a lingering curse
I’ll trade in my bones for the dirt 
Don’t wanna be a lingering curse

Please, take me
Can I get a do-over?
I don’t wanna be
Next round I’ll do better
Please, take me
Can I get a do-over?
I don’t wanna be
Next round I’ll do better

Lingering Curse

For me nothing evokes feelings of melancholic nostalgia and deep sadness than an empty abandoned playground.  Maybe a little terror too...

Wasted time (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by VELVET)

Lyrics

Its mostly me
Most for you
Some other feet in other shoes
kindly with me you're fused to choose
A life that's happy if that's what you choose

Victory in spirit
We have burned descending into hell
With us the trophies returned
With warrior silence

Its mostly me
Most for you
Take pride in defeat
Win with the truth
Your fused
I refuse
I refuse
I refuse
I refuse

wanted to cover Katrina and the waves -too happy- i  had to minor the shit out of it - changed the lyrics to make it a break up song -hope u enjoy

I used to think maybe you loved me now babe I'm unsure
Expect me to wait for the day when you knock on my door
Now everytime I reach for my phone gotta sit myself down
'Cause I just can't wait till you text me you're coming around
I'm walking on sunshine, 
I'm walking on sunshine, 
I'm walking on sunshine, 
And don't it feel good!


I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that’s not  true
And I don't want to spend my whole life, just waiting for you
I don't want u back for the weekend
Not back for a day, 
I really don’t want you back dont expect me to stay

I'm walking on sunshine
I'm walking on sunshine,
I'm walking on sunshine,
and dont it feel good

I feel alive, I feel alive, I leave the love that wasnt  real
I feel alive, I feel alive, I leave the love that wasnt real
and dont it feel good

walking on sunshine -purpleclaire (cover)

Some music just deserves to be turned up...until the neighbors can enjoy it too.

Missing Pieces (Rock Version)

Shaft of light between the shades
Penetrates 
My eternal night curtailed.

Now this light falls at my feet
Drawing me
“Come walk out the door, be free, be free”

Oh what I’ve been missing these years,
To feel the breeze cool my face
And not be kept in a jar like a bug

Come collect just like a bird
Fly away
Please return another day

Take the gifts placed in the tree
Begging you
Just look up and smile tonight, tonight

Oh what I’ve been missing these years,
To feel the breeze cool my face
And not be kept in a jar like a bug

7 gifts placed in the tree just begging you to smile
7 gifts placed in the tree just begging you to smile at me.

When the drunk comes calling
I will be there
When he drags you down to the floor
I will be there

I can stand alone in the house
But I know the feeling that feeling you're close

So I'll stay behind the door
I'll never venture out so far and give you anymore
