To My Brother, Johnny
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's like nothing is for real now
Moments pass like on a screen now
On the breeze a chill bites numbing
Now I can feel night coming
Johnny, look, I'm bleeding!
I can feel the world receding
Can you hear me, Johnny?
Time has run out on me
How did I get so messed up?
On myself I guess I gave up
And, Johnny, isn't it funny?
My colors turned so dark
I let go in my heart
All the faces turn austere now (Johnny)
I look on, but I'm not here now (Johnny)
Like I'm watching from a distance (Johnny)
Scenes play out with cruel insistence (Johnny)
Kill the lights! Muffle the bell!
I'm going straight to hell
Can you hear me, Johnny?
Shadows close in on me
How did I get so messed up?
On myself I guess I gave up
But, Johnny, don't be sorry
The evening lights shine so fine
Johnny, I wrecked my mind
And, Johnny, I can feel night on me
I never got out free
And now they've maddened me
And, Johnny, isn't it funny?
My colors turned so dark
I let go in my heart
