[Refrain]
Backslide into the darkness
Backslide into the darkness
It's all I ever see
[Verse 1]
Johnny Law was a broken man
Tired of the poly, you know?
Some are rolled, so soft in the middle
Some are made of steel and rope
Brought up with a tough ideal
Tougher than Italian chain
Until then, our roads are golden
Rolling on home again
Nothing wanna see that friend
[Refrain]
Backslide into the darkness
Backslide into the darkness
It's all I ever see
It's all I ever see
[Post-Refrian]
Until we know that silence grins
I caught myself again
And I told myself: "Enjoy myself"
Honey, don't feel afraid
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
So, we walk inside our hearts
Hands in the pocket of change
Some are rolled, all tired and broken
Makes a mouth hard to feed
Lost all his money that night
Lost his only friend
My God, we were so mistaken
With no room to celebrate
Just to find out again
[Refrain]
Backslide into the darkness
Backslide into the darkness
It's all I ever see
Backslide into the darkness
Backslide into the darkness
It's all I ever see
It's all I ever see
