lyrics

This world is not a place for dreamers
And i know how
It feels to be led astray
So i'll hold your hand and show you the way

No place is right for the likes of me
And i can see the way
Your eyes look at me now
So i'll hold your hand and tell you what to say

There's gotta be another way,
another plan
I've got no flags to show,
I'm just trying to be a better man
I'm looking for the few i need
out of all the things for which i asked
we've got alot of miles to cover
so follow me, take my hand

I'm looking for the tired minds
With shoulders that keep up the glow
whose multicolored picket fences
were beaten into monochrome by them.

I wanna take you far away from where
art is judged and compromised
by the same suits that eat your dreams
whose hate is covered by their plastic hair

There's gotta be another way,
another plan
I've got no flags to show,
I'm just trying to be a better man
I'm looking for the few i need
out of all the things for which i asked
we've got alot of miles to cover
so follow me, take my hand

Just throw away what you've been told
and get down on your fucking knees
And try to salvage whatever pieces
left of all those broken dreams right now

There's gotta be another way,
another plan
I've got no flags to show,
I'm just trying to be a better man
I'm looking for the few i need
out of all the things for which i asked
I know we've got alot of miles to cover

I know there's gotta be a better way
a better plan
just take your cross, wear it proud
make the shit hit the fan
you've already got everything you need
just grab your shoes and run with me
we've got alot of miles to cover
follow me and take my hand.

about

Ali Suhail Karachi, Pakistan

Hi, I'm Ali. I make music in a room in a house in Karachi in Pakistan. In fact, that's most of what I do. I've been making music since I was a teenager, learning from The Beatles, The Foo Fighters, Death Cab For Cutie, Freelance Whales, Pomplamoose etc. These albums that I've written are an amalgamation of my experiences and perception of the world and life. I hope they make people happy. ... more
