Aura Shock (feat. Jess Johnson)

Have you known a person that just didn't fit in anywhere,  had a hard time making friends or always just seemed like they were unhappy and just preferred to be alone? Maybe that outcast was you? I think we all felt that feeling of being a complete alien to any situation at one time in our life. I wrote a song about it, Here are the lyrics: 

Come inside you're always welcome
I'll show you where you can sleep tonight

Come tonight we're always open
We will be here for you
Whenever you arrive

Break the hold on hesitation
Take the gold it's a strong temptation
You're too old turn in your resignation

BACKGROUND:
Break the hold on hesitation
Take advantage of a dark temptation
Don't fight the rise to your elevation 

Just come inside, come tonight
We'll be here when you arrive

Come tonight and build a fire
Take your time and make it higher
So everyone can see it from
100 miles away and then some

Run the red lights
Nevermind the law
Or what it signifies

It's always only told you lies
So how have you not realized...

final-lies (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by VELVET) _1

Four years ago we had our first child together. While in labor I watched the nurses and doctors force my wife to push for hours when it was clear to everyone she needed a cesarean. When the alarm started going off every time she pushed I thought they would finally do the right thing.  They called in the MD and I heard the Dr ask the midwife, "what kind of coverage does she have?" The midwife said "none" (I'll explain at the end). The Dr told her to have her keep pushing and give her a shot of pletosin. Another hour went by with the alarm going off so many times that the midwife shut it off and that's when I freaked out. Eventually she was taken into surgery where they performed a c section. My sons head was cone shaped of course and that went back to normal. We learned that every time the alarm was going off he was not getting oxygen so whenever mom pushed he would not be able to breathe he wasn't getting oxygen and that happened so many times I can't even count.  Fast forward 3 years and it wasn't really obvious at first until he was three that he was on the Spectrum. My wife worked for a big medical device manufacturer called Stryker and when she went on fmla to have the baby their computer system listed her as no longer employed instead of being on fmla so the system canceled her health insurance which we didn't know until we went to the hospital to have the baby.  The entire time we were there we were treated horribly, given subpar treatment and watched them almost kill our child but definitely changed his and our lives forever.  And yes we do have a lawsuit against them. I almost didn't sue but thank God my woman stopped me and straightened out my head one day when I was all loaded up in my truck with my buddies AR and 9 and plenty of popcorn for the event. It scares me to this day that I was in my truck pulling out of the driveway when she ran out and stood in front of my truck. I hope those responsible felt a chill that day and found Jesus. My biggest hope is that they didn't do that to any other families, unfortunately I don't think they care because they will lie under oath with a smile on their faces. Pure evil.
I don't think I have enough space left on here to add the lyrics but I'll try: 

I've been bad,  I've been good
Up until this point I feel
I've done what I could

Sometimes life throws a curveball
When you're not expecting it at all

Now you got to be a man and take it
Don't listen to the voice tells you to quit
Don't listen to it don't listen to it no don't you listen to it

There have been some good days
There have been some bad
Thoughts of justice and revenge
 running through my head

Honestly it's a lot harder than I thought it'd be
Taking its toll on my wife and me
Harder than I thought it'd be
But don't listen to it

I know I'm not supposed to think that way
But it's so hard when I have to see 
what they did to him every single day

Now I got to be a man and take it
I didn't listen to The Voice and I didn't quit
No I didn't listen to it I didn't give in to it I didn't listen to it
I didn't quit. 

don't listen to it (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Xavier) _1

Everything will be alright, it really will. 

be alright (written & performed by Jess Johnson Music by Ryini Beats)

Here are my lyrics:

You're my only, you're my, my only

watching you walk by with a smile on your face brought a tear to my eye

can't explain why, can't let you go, I'd rather die, don't cry 

I try not to show any animosity,
 you taught me that word now here I am using it irresponsibly, don't cry don't cry

there's a word people use for someone like you it's baby, my wife, perfect life

it don't get no better than this don't get no better than you don't cry, No Lie, My Baby Don't Cry

so dry yours look into mine come let me hold you one more time tonight oh don't cry, don't you cry don't cry

watching you walk by with a smile on your face brought a tear to my eye, can't explain why don't cry ×7

don't cry ( Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson music by Warren Zeiders)

Another soong about memories, nostalgia and the war with age and time and the unfairness of both, not to mention the government that is mainly the cause of the speed in which we age and pass. Never in history have humans had so little time to live. The top 3 cause of death in humans are: 1 - Cardiovascular Disease. 2 - Diabetes. 3 - The Healthcare Industry (mainly pharmaceuticals). Imagine that?  The industry that is supposed to help us be healthy and live longer is the third highest cause of death in humans. That fact alone is the 2nd highest reason I despise our government and I can't imagine anyone thinking they have our best interest at heart, i don't think we are even on the list. Maybe the 99th lowest out of 100 and only one above the country's sewage problems. You GO prez chump! Please just go! I have no money for you so stop begging on my email it's unbecoming and quite literally embarrassing but does show the world how filthy stinking rich got that way.  So when someone hits "STOP" or "UNSUBSCRIBE"? NO MEANS NO!!

Yesterday (written and performed by Jess Johnson Music by GAXILLIC)

I found a beat created by dennydarko and it had a really catchy rhythm so I listened to it and came up with these lyrics, I really hope you like it!
LYRICS:
Your eyes, open mind, see with your heart, one more time
Loving, feeling, we become one
We sleep and awake with the Sun, oh yeah

Sometimes it seems I'm living a dream

Do I deserve to be so blessed
Why me, is it a test
How will I know if I passed

Sometimes it seems I'm living a dream 
sometimes it seems I'm living a dream 
and I don't know where I've been
And you won't believe what I've seen

We've battled some hard times that seem to last forever
We will never lose if we are together
Baby you can count on me
Let me show you how sweet love can be

Sometimes it seems I'm living a dream
Reality ain't what it seems when you're living a dream

Living a dream (written and performed by Jess Johnson Music by dennydarko_beats)

After thinking about this for a little while I finally had an epiphany, women ain't the reason we drink but they are the reason we drink too much. Now that wasn't so hard to figure out was it?
 Here are the lyrics:

You drifted off to sleep another night of digging in deep 
it's not your fault don't take it so hard
 she never liked the friends you keep,

Women ain't the reason we drink,
But they are the reason we drink too much, 
let me come back home I promise I'll do better next time,

I'll try not to let the booze affect my mind
 I'll do better next time 
women ain't the reason we drink
 but they sure the hell are the reason we drink too much

Don't believe me don't deceive me 
don't make it your mission to relieve me 
of my love for a half gallon of Jack

Women ain't the reason we drink 
but they the reason we get caught up in the wind and Blown Away 
it's our only Escape

You drifted off to sleep don't take it so hard, she never liked the friends you keep

women ain't the reason we drink
but they are the reason we drink too much

let me come back home I promise I'll do better next time
I've been trying not to let your views affect my mind, I'll do better next time

Women ain't the reason we drink but they are the reason we drink too much let me open up my mind so you can find...  the train I drink too much, maybe you'll understand this time...

Women ain't the reason we drink (written and performed by Jess Johnson Music by Jake Angel)

I created a track with a little less light for those who like things on the darker side once in awhile, you know, like me.  And yes you too my friend Billy the kid and all my other friends on here who like to stay flexible and mix it up, and that means every artist I know on here and there are way too many to list but you know who you are! I hope everyone finds something to enjoy on this track, just please keep in mind I'm at the beginning of my journey with all genres so don't expect Chris Cornell or Dave Mustaine or Rob Halford. Maybe a juvenile mix of all of them?  I wish, but I can tell you one thing for sure, with Ryini putting out his killer instrumentals and completely amazing guitar work, he sure gives me the inspiration and motivation to keep working to sing better so i can try my best to do his instrumental creations right so I can also do my best to offer the best of my abilities to all my friends that support me, because without you guys I've got no reason to grow or improve

Here he lies (written and performed by Jess Johnson Music by Ryini)

LYRICS:

Walking the line wishing you were here
 watching time slowly disappear 
everywhere I look all I see is you
 it's every man's worst nightmare
 for me it's coming true

 I picked up the broken pieces 
dug a hole in my yard 
another lesson that life teaches 
surprised it was so hard

 you can scream from the highest rooftop in the city
 but the only one that cares is you
 ooh ooh ooh ooh oh yeah

 now you know what you need to live a good life
 and that's the woman that you got, will she still be your wife
 there's only one way for you to know
 look her in the eyes and speak real slow 

all this time we've been together
 I never once left you behind
 now we talk about being together forever 
baby are you still going to be my wife.

Repropose ( written and performed by Jess Johnson Music by Infraction)

Lyrics:

Condescending never ending writings on the wall
There's a place in time where you will find 
Retribution for your crimes

It's not the end of time, it's the end of life as you knew it 
so ask yourself how are you supposed to get through it, get through it 

Guitar Solo 

How many times have you lost your mind believed those lies just to get left behind,
you were told on the day you die no Second Chance can't say goodbye 

Was it the church that made you this way did they kick you out when you tried to pray

 Heaven never wanted you 
and the devil never heard of you 

You were given a shovel so dig your hole You made a deal with the Devil he gets your soul

 ohh ohh you're fading away, 
fading away, you're fading away, 
keep fading away, fading away,
 fading away, fading away

Last Rites (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Ryini)

I'm not sure what it looks like in the rest of the United States but in the Northeast here all of our trees and plants that are usually vibrant green this time of year are faded and washed out looking, like they aren't getting nearly enough sunlight.  If you've been paying attention for the past year or two the government and media have been laying the groundwork to put the blame on climate change but those of us that use more of our brains than most others know what's really going on. If you don't know and you think those of us that do are crazy conspiracy nuts then look in the mirror and you will see the real problem.  And remember,  yesterday's conspiracies are today's realities. 


Lyrics:
The sun no longer shines brilliantly somebody decided we no longer need
light for the plants our family's feed 
won't somebody please tell me what it means 

we can't live without the light 
look up in the sky and ask yourself 
why? Why? Why?

 Why do all the trees look faded green
not enough sun is what it means
 don't listen to the lies 
every news station tries 
While the truth is right outside
 open your eyes!

 Why, why do they want everything to die? 
Why don't we know where we're getting our next meal 
why does the water leave a stain on stainless steel 
please answer this for me 
why do they lie and tell us that we're free

 we can sit and wonder why 
so long we bought the lie
 turned our heads and called them crazy when we knew deep in our hearts that what they say is true 

we know what it means when trees are faded green.

Faded Green a ballad of survival  music by GAXILLIC

I like to write.  Singing the songs I write turned out to be a little more challenging than i at first thought it would be.  My hope is for a real singer to see and hear my work and decide that they would like one of my songs or would like me to write some songs for them.  I can think of a lot of performers who would be great singing some of my songs.  If that's you hit me up!
