The way she sings
Her commitment to the waves

And the way he plays
Knowing only how to be brave

It has inspired me
The way she sings
Her commitment to the waves
And the way he plays
Knowing only how to be brave

It has inspired me
I must be obsessed with unhappiness
To chase the perfectness of you
But it’s true
It’s true
The perfectness of you

Smoking a joint
So I’m multitasking

Who knows where I’m going to be in 5 years time?
No-one knows the future, James
That’s ok
Live for now, don’t be heavy

Mad world
But you stay on top, much as you can

Live for now, don’t be heavy

What’s at the end of a rainbow
The opposite side of freedom

The opposite side of freedom
James Daniel Jul 31
All these lies, like steps

It's time for grain
And soft lines
And truth

Back to it
Like a well paced pilgrim

I’m in a place
Where I’m appreciated

I’m no demon here
I like this place

I could make a home one day here
A world

It's time for grain
And soft lines
And truth

The Animator
Made new characters
That moved in the spaces
Unfilled and unthought

So when a punch came in,
It didn’t come from
Before the colonists
And the centuries' long tired gaze
It came from today

A bright bud
Make you dance and move
Like a balloon
Make you feel like a loon

A modern day dinosaur
A minotaur
Shiny against the bleak
James Daniel Jul 14
If you ever want to love me
I just want you to know
That there is a hole in my heart

When my dad died I didn’t go to the funeral
It wasn’t the pandemic
It was the hole

My younger sister organised everything
I did nothing
When I went back my other sister
Showed me where the grave was
I said God Bless him, and off he went

I went back another time to the grave but I couldn’t find it

If you ever want to love me
I just want you to know
That there is a hole in my heart

And it worries me
How deathly it is
How in control it is
