Lone Star 02:20
Winter came running while I slept in today I tried to get right but the devil keeps getting in my way Changing my name couldn't shake this curse I'm going through hell and it just gets worse Winter came running while I slept in today Grass stays hidden and the leaves have turned to dust I'm getting real leary about the people I can trust Changing my name couldn't change my life I'm going through hell on a ten-speed bike Getting real leary about the people I can trust I can't trust I can't trust I can't trust any of us Including me and you We've all got something to hide and prove

Ready To Die 03:25
"It was all a dream" I used to have dreams and I used to believe in dreams Before they got the better part of me And I can see clearly But it ain't a pretty sight to see Now I'm begging to be cut from the team I've seen what the world has to offer: I'm good The older that I got, the more I understood and I'm ready to die I'm ready to die I've seen what the world has to offer and I've given it a try, and now I'm ready to die I'm ready to die "It was all a dream" And like most dreams, it went up in smoke And I got real tired of always ending up the butt of the joke And I got real tired of working hard and always ending up broke And now I'm ready to croak Yeah, I'm ready to die I'm ready to die I've seen what life has to offer and I've given it a try, and now I'm ready to die I'm ready to die I'm ready to ba-ba-da-da-ba-da-da-ba-ba ba-ba-da-da-ba-da-da-ba-ba ba-ba-da-da-ba-da-da-ba-ba Ready to die I'm ready to ba-ba-da-da-ba-da-da-ba-ba ba-ba-da-da-ba-da-da-ba-ba ba-ba-da-da-ba-da-da-ba-ba Yeah, I'm ready to die

Bugatti 02:12
I'm blue in the face Recovering from A difficult case Held under the tongue I'm out of excuses Won't speak to detectives Won't go back to prison Remain undetected I just pray my right hand doesn't turn I'm afraid my right hand is gonna turn I just pray my right hand doesn't turn I'm afraid In spite of the pressure You gotta make weight I'll throw my body into this Bugatti With stolen plates

I'm toting a pistol tonight Right here waiting for someone to shoot on sight On sight I'm standing on ten toes tonight I know that they're coming to kill me, that's alright That's alright I'm toting a pistol tonight I'm bright and I'm wild and I'm loud I'm not hard to find

about

JV as the House of Wills has become a fixture all their own. Named after a once-crumbling prominent Cleveland building that has reinvented itself again and again, JV has been in a half dozen of your favorite punk bands (Ultra Ultra, RAM ONES, and The Public, to name a few) but their solo project somehow manages to bring even more emotional heft than some of their bands' hardest bangers. the House of Wills is a powerful project, playing ceaselessly around the region and quickly gaining steam from their two releases in 2020. Much like the ever-changing legendary local landmark, the House Of Wills is something that has existed, and will hopefully continue to exist, even as JV's rock bands come and go with time. Long live the House of Wills.
