Hello friends...

My brother was so much more than the title of this blog. To clarify, it was a title I planned to own for a book of my own one day. When I shared it with him, he swore he would steal it from me for his next album. I figured we could share the title together in this blog.

Please feel free to share anything you can about Johnny- stories, pictures, videos, love letters scribbled on napkins, etc. :) I would love to have this be a collective collaboration from Johnny's loved ones, and anyone who knew him knows he had more loved ones than most anyone ever is blessed to find. He touched hearts in a way that very few can.

It’s All Temporary

I’ve been going round in circles
writing all the same old lines
trying to make some sense of it all
my theories, confusion
the truth in my rhymes.

It’s all temporary
I say to the ghost in the mirror
each day you look a little thinner
truth is we we could stay lost like this forever
Give me a sign at least
that one day we will get better
something’s gonna come together
we can’t stay lost like this forever    *chorus*

I need you to tell me this life’s worth living
Cuz it’s taking more outta me than it’s giving
I need you to tell me, again we will meet
and it will have been worth all this pain and defeat

It’s all temporary
I say to the ghost in the mirror
each day you look a little thinner
truth is we we could stay lost like this forever
Give me a sign at least
that one day we will get better
something’s gonna come together
we can’t stay lost like this forever

So am I writing your story now?
Am I here to keep your legacy alive?
To try and help her somehow survive?
To go back in time and see,
where we all went wrong when we had a family?
Am I here to fully self destruct?
To find a new way to stay stuck?
Are you gone but I’m still here
because we have the worst of luck?
Truth is, the whole thing is fucked.          *bridge*
