Backslide from Feelings by Tommy Alexander

backslide into the darkness
backslide into the darkness
it's all ever see
it's all i ever see

Johnny Law was a broken man
tired off 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 are roads are broken
rolling on home again
nothing want to see that friend

backslide into the darkness
backslide into the darkness
it's all ever see
it's all i ever see

until we know that silence grins
i caught myself again
and i told myself: enjoy myself
honey don't feel afraid

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

backslide into the darkness
backslide into the darkness
it's all ever see
backslide into the darkness
backslide into the dark-ness
it's all ever see
it's all ever see
