To My Brother, Johnny Songtext
von Henrik Berggren

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.
I look on, but I'm not here now,
Like I'm watching from a distance


Scenes play out with cruel insistence.
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.
