Johnny Come Lately

johnny come lately, haven't you seen me?
i don't believe in fear.
it isn't what you wanted that i held dear.
tell me you missed me.
tell me you wished me silence on my run.
it isn't that i wanted to spoil your fun.

and i hope we'll remain friends.
and i hope you'll keep me true.
and i'll never forget you.

johnny come lately, won't you believe me?
i wanted to see the sun.
i didn't want to know my number's up.
tell me you see this.
tell me you witness shadows on the wing.
i didn't want to catch you up in all these things.

johnny come lately. violent too early.
a razortip embrace.
nobody said they despised your ways.
tell me you're haunted.
just like you wanted, an end beyond the means.
it's just like it happens in my darkest dreams.
