The Now By James Parkinson
The moment's passed
But for you, it was never real
You can hear it back, you can borrow or steal
Live your life like they’re deleted scenes
But I can’t promise happiness if you never
Bleed - Where are you now, where are you now?
Are you breathing, breathing, or are you in the now, in the now?
And so I write this heavenly line
If it’s the end then surely it’s my last time
All hope lies within the joy of their rooms
They’re in the now and they don’t care that we’re
Fools - Where are we now, where are you now?
Are you breathing, breathing, or are you in the now, in the now?
I once saw a tear, I once lived a year
Saw worlds crashing down and titans in fear
A solitary thought, a meeting of hopes
It’s time to leave when you can’t leave your
Home - Where are we now, where are you now?
Are you dying, or are you in the now, in the now?
Bleed - Where are you now, where are you now?
Are you living, or are you in the now, in the now?

Into the Deep by James Parkinson
You thought that you were alone
When you knew you were free
Do you have to know everything
If you’ve never cried or never believed
There’s a wall your head needs to see
But the lies won’t feel a thing
I hope my children never see
When a mess of a man can lead
I want a stranger, I want another mouth to feed
I want their power, I want the lies and deceit
Let the words roll down, into the deep
The forest welcomes the dark
And now the path has lost hope
We cling to the nearest hand,
Our mothers coat and the crudest joke
We bury in the books
and now the light has comes out
Let’s paint this drab world
and breathe in and out the doubt
I want a stranger, I want another mouth to feed
I want their power, I want the lies and deceit
I want a stranger, I want another mouth to feed
Let the words roll down, into the deep
I want a stranger, I want another mouth to feed
I want their power, I want the lies and deceit

The World In Autumn Sun

Autumn Sun by James Parkinson
Autumn makes you see
With crystal clarity
It’s hard to feel alone
In palettes of shining gold
And life flows on the breeze
When leaves hold tapestries
And the world leaves you alone
When skin feels autumn sun
But if I ever forget
I will paint your light in my head
When autumn sun decides to wrap it’s arms around me
I will try not to forget
The world in Autumn Sun
If autumn goes quickly
A lesson for the lonely
I will never be this free
Until autumn sun is with me
But if I ever forget
I know your light will burn in my head
When autumn sun decides to wrap it’s arms around me
I know your light won’t let me forget
The world in Autumn Sun

Hard to Feel by James Parkinson
Searching through the distant haze
A labyrinth within, my mind starts to fade
I cling to the line that’s warmest to my art
But still I feel the most when I’m alone in the dark
It’s hard to see, when your constantly free
It’s hard to feel, when you have company, when you hold on to memories
Will it make me work or will it inspire?
Or will I need more fuel for the fire?
They applaud now, it always come too late
And just like sadness, I wish it could remain
It’s hard to see, when your constantly free
It’s hard to feel, when you have company
It’s hard to breathe, when your endlessly free
It’s hard to feel, when you have company, when you on hold to memories
SOLO
It’s hard to see, when your constantly free
It’s hard to feel, when you have company
It’s hard to breathe, when your endlessly free
It’s hard to feel, when you have company, when you on hold to memories

On The Edge Written by James Parkinson
Have I written my end?
Burnt myself to a thread
A tragic waste
Or the right time to end?
Dust and doubt
I’m at the edge again
The beauty and the splendour it still hurts
Dust and doubt I’m at the edge my friend
But the light is alive in your words
And winter ends
A titan, a voice from the depths
Breathes in the words we lament
The darkness and light
There never will be a drought
Dust and doubt I’m at the edge again
The beauty and the splendour it still hurts
Dust and doubt I’m at the edge my friend
But the light is alive in your words
And winter ends
And winter ends
Oh I’m on the edge, the edge, the edge

We all wave goodbye
We all pretend
