Keep Walking

Smoke builds up my atmosphere Now I choke on, my own preaching Struck by love and plagued by regrets Now I down on my own drinking Fill the glass its half as empty Light my soul inflamed for redemption Eyes are dried up from atoning The communion of our sins I've confessed to all the saints Still no penance to give the damned As a consolation for wasted youth And admiration for what is lost Johnnie will walk me home Johnnie will drive me home Johnnie will take me home And drown all my sorrows for the night Happiness is where I fear to tread Till I walk the line of recognition In silence, I spoke of achievements In delirium, I swam for the raging seas I've cushioned my head on disappointments Still I sing in order to be heard Like a bat, I am just as blind Waiting for the echo of my screams I've confessed to all the saints Still no penance to give the damned And now the walls they seem to breathe on me Still my shadows keep me company singing Johnnie will walk me home Johnnie will drive me home Johnnie will take me home And drown all my sorrows for the night
