lyrics

I thought I understood, the writing on the wall
It's there all day, and all night too
From the 18th floor, you're just as high up, as you are down

I could not have known, the lengths that you would go
To stay the same
You thought the common good, was only yours to save

I didn't know the time of day or even where I was
It's hard to be what you can be as you stare down a gun

You'll never be the same again, you'll never be the same
You'll never be the same again, you'll never be the same

I didn't know the time of day or even where I was
It's hard to be what you can be as you stare down a gun

about

Peter Johnston RVA Richmond, Virginia

To put it simply, Peter Johnston RVA is Catholic indie rock; you
wouldn't hear this at mass, but it does try to prove that traditional Catholic thought and indie rock are not mutually exclusive. It began easily enough as a few home recordings but has slowly turned into a full on project that explores matters of human dignity and common good in society.
Sincerely yours,
Peter Johnston RVA ... more
