So after many takes of messing up lyrics I finally got one that I could at least bare to post :p
Lyrics are probably the only real problem I encounter while playing live. I usually do well but it takes me a lot of practice to remember them while playing and singing while engaging with a crowd.
Definitely follow me if you enjoy. Will be releasing more and excerpts of my story/music project starting next week.
But this is a favorite for many people when I am playing out and I hope you all enjoy too steemit fam!
"Take Me To Church"
My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
"We were born sick," you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom."
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick
But I love it
Command me to be well
Aaay. Amen. Amen. Amen.
[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine-looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work
[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
No Masters or Kings
When the Ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Ooh oh. Amen. Amen. Amen.
[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Fantastic performance! Great lyrics and amazing voice.

I use an audio technica 2020 condenser mic and ableton to mix the sound a bit. Not a lot at all.. usually a bit of EQ and other random techniques youtube taught me. :)

Great song, the voice and guitar working like a good team, you've really got the funk in the rhythm balanced perfectly to make the most of those lush subte nuances and emotive qualities in your vocals. One of the best I've heard so far. Love it

Thank you so much for the support and write up.
I feel sometimes that text does not display enough emotion and longer does not always mean more thought out or better. I really cannot say enough but this means a lot to me and I thank you for taking time out of your day to spread positivity. Thanks again Verbal-d!
