I drift beneath the midnight glow,
Streetlight gold on cobblestone.

The city hums in whispered sighs,
Cigarette smoke and tired eyes.

In the hush between each sound,
I feel my heart slow down.
*Is é mo chroí a sheasfaidh an oíche seo*  

These echoes in the dark,
They don’t frighten me anymore.
I let them play their part,
Like a record spinning low.
If love left fingerprints on me,
They fade with every spark.
I pour another truth in time,
With these echoes in the dark.

I walk beneath the midnight light,
Shadows dancing in the night.
Each step resounds like memories,
But I choose the path I see.

The silence speaks far louder now,
I feel my spirit rising somehow.
*Fàilte do sholas nan rionnag*  

These echoes in the dark,
They don’t tear me apart.
I let them play their part,
Like a record spinning low.
If love left fingerprints on me,
They fade with every spark.
I pour another truth in time,
With these echoes in the dark.

If the night asks what I’ve lost,
I’ll say I’ve paid the cost.
I’ve loved in blue, I’ve bled in time,
Now the truth is finally mine.
*Seas mo neart, seas mo chreideamh*  

These echoes in the dark,
They taught me how to stay.
Not every fire needs to burn,
Not every love must fade away.
I move slow, I move smart,
I let the silence speak.
I finally hear myself tonight,
Through these echoes in the dark.

Echoes in the dark…
Still dancing… slow and free.

Echoes in the Dark

Lyrics by Parker Crossing

I drink and spend too much when I feel dry
I eat and talk too much when I get high
I tell dirty jokes when it gets too quiet 
I’m super intense, ain’t going to deny it

Your righteous indignation and nose in the air 
Like you ain’t never had one too many beers
If I hijack a moment or two when my filters are gone
Remember your shit stinks too and let’s just move on 
But

I know 
I’m too much and not enough at the same time
Guess what
My bag of fucks is empty and I’m so fine
You told 
My girlfriend you don’t want me at your party
But she
Likes me and thinks you’re two-faced and snotty

We all know I’m sharp as a tack and funny as hell
You’ve seen me listen with my heart and wish you well
My intentions are good, and my hands are clean
I don’t talk shit about no one, and I ain’t that mean

 I understand I ain’t your people or your cup of tea
 No hard feelings my friend, it’s alright with me
 We had many good times that I’ll never forget
 And when it’s all said and done, I’m happy we met
And

I know 
I’m too much and not enough at the same time
Guess what
My bag of fucks is empty and I’m so fine
You told 
My girlfriend you don’t want me at your party
But she
Likes me and thinks you’re two-faced and snotty

I know 
I’m too much and not enough at the same time
Guess what
My bag of fucks is empty and I’m so fine
You told 
My girlfriend you don’t want me at your party
But she
Likes me and thinks you’re two-faced and snotty

At The Same Time

Parker Crossing emerged as my bridge from verse to voice, turning my intimate poetry into songs that share the depth of my lived truth.
