Tattooed on My Heartbeat

Green shop sign flickers at 2 AM
Coffee in a paper cup, cold hands again
Your car door squeaked like it knew I was there
You wore your dad’s old jacket, smelled like cold air

And I’m stranded on the front porch of your memory
Swore I’d move on, but I’m orbiting
Every laugh you left behind is holding me
“Come back” is tattooed on my heartbeat

You said sunrise color was “sad kid in bloom”
I wrote it down at midnight in a parking lot in June
Rain carved your name along the glass I pressed my face to
Not asking you back — just wishing I knew what to do

And I’m stranded on the front porch of your memory
Swore I’d move on, but I’m orbiting
Every laugh you left behind is holding me
“Come back” is tattooed on my heartbeat

Tick of the fault line under my skin
Everything we were — cracked open within
If love is the last light before we fall apart
I wanna burn bright, even if it breaks my heart

I’m flashlight in the dark of your memory
Swore I’d move on, but I’m orbiting
Every word you left unspoken’s tethering me
“Come back” is tattooed on my heartbeat

Fangs at the Gate

Kicked down doors and they’re screaming my name
Every shadow’s got a torch and a flame
Blood on the concrete, echo like drums
I’m not afraid of where the violence comes

You can run but you can’t escape
Hear the howl at the city gates

Fangs at the gate, can you feel it bite?
Fire in my veins in the dead of night
No chains, no fear, I was born to fight
Fangs at the gate, yeah, I’m alive tonight!

Eyes wide open, the hunt is on
Every weakness you had is gone
Rust-stained teeth, yeah, we never break
Your throne is burning at the hands of fate

You can run but you can’t escape
Hear the howl at the city gates

Fangs at the gate, can you feel it bite?
Fire in my veins in the dead of night
No chains, no fear, I was born to fight
Fangs at the gate, yeah, I’m alive tonight!

Tear it down, break it down
Every wall that you build is falling now
One by one, hear the hammer strike
We don’t run — we ignite!

Fangs at the gate, can you feel it bite?
Fire in my veins in the dead of night
No chains, no fear, I was born to fight
Fangs at the gate, yeah, I’m alive tonight!

Violet Skies

We watched the sunset bleed into the street
Colors falling down where our shadows used to meet
You traced constellations on the back of my hand
Promised every night like the sky would understand

But the morning came too fast
And the colors couldn’t last
Now the violet fades to gray
But I still hear you say—

Under violet skies, we were infinite
Hearts colliding like stars, couldn’t limit it
Every memory glows where the daylight dies
I’m still lost in the violet skies

Your laughter echoes like a signal through the rain
I replay the moment just to feel you again
Every street is haunted, painted in your hue
The sky turns violet, and I swear it’s you

But the morning came too fast
And the colors couldn’t last
Now the violet fades to gray
But I still hear you say—

Under violet skies, we were infinite
Hearts colliding like stars, couldn’t limit it
Every memory glows where the daylight dies
I’m still lost in the violet skies

Still lost in violet skies…

Burn It Down Before Dawn

I tore the pictures from the walls
Every frame’s a wrecking ball
You left your shadow in my veins
I’ll burn it out, I’ll break the chains

Burn it down before dawn
Scream your name, then it’s gone
If love was a war, then I’ve already won
Burn it down before dawn

Your ghost is gasoline on my skin
Strike a match, I won’t let you in
Ashes rising, black sky bends
This is how the story ends

Burn it down before dawn
Scream your name, then it’s gone
If love was a war, then I’ve already won
Burn it down before dawn

No more chains, no more lies
I’m alive in the fire tonight

Burn it down before dawn
Scream your name, then it’s gone
If love was a war, then I’ve already won
Burn it down before dawn

Static in My Bones

I can’t sleep with the wires in my head
Every thought buzzing louder than the bed
Fingers tap like a metronome gone wrong
Heart keeps racing but the night feels long

It’s in the walls, it’s in my veins
White noise calling out my name
Can’t turn it off, it won’t let go
I’m stuck inside the overflow

Static in my bones, I can’t shake it
Running through my soul, I can’t break it
Every signal’s screaming, tearing through the tone
I’m alive but I’m haunted by the static in my bones

City lights flicker like a faulty sign
Every shadow feels like it’s crossing lines
Tried to drown it out, but it cuts straight through
Every silence just reminds me of you

It’s in the walls, it’s in my veins
White noise calling out my name
Can’t turn it off, it won’t let go
I’m stuck inside the overflow

Static in my bones, I can’t shake it
Running through my soul, I can’t break it
Every signal’s screaming, tearing through the tone
I’m alive but I’m haunted by the static in my bones

Turn it up, let it bleed, let the feedback scream
White lines in my head, tearing at the seams
No escape, no control, it’s a part of me
Static in my bones, my only melody

Static in my bones, I can’t shake it
Running through my soul, I can’t break it
Every signal’s screaming, tearing through the tone
I’m alive but I’m haunted by the static in my bones

Static in My Bones

I’m Joshua Kelsey, a songwriter and creator blending stories from my life with sounds that span across EDM, pop, country, folk, reggae, alternative rock, and everything in between. Music has always been my way of turning experiences—good and bad—into something people can feel, connect with, and maybe even dance to.

I use Suno as a creative tool to bring my songs to life, building the instrumentals, energy, and vibe that capture what’s in my head and heart. But every lyric, every theme, every story comes from real places—my own journey through family, love, loss, struggles, and joy.

For me, AI isn’t a replacement for creativity—it’s a canvas. I still shape the stories, craft the melodies, and dig deep into the emotion behind each track. Suno just helps me amplify what I already want to say.

From heartfelt ballads and hard-hitting rock anthems to high-energy EDM festival tracks, my music reflects the many layers of who I am. I create with honesty, respect for the craft, and a passion to keep pushing boundaries.

Thanks for listening and being part of this journey. Let’s turn memories, struggles, and dreams into music—together.
