Trees 03:11
Tonight I'm in some other place Feels different from today Unfathomable plain Clouds playing tricks, I'm not here The ocean's never smelt this way The sun tries lunar for a change There's no trees but you magically appear To remind us that we're not here

停止 03:08
Faded from your lips Became one With the winter mist Every word you spoke Garnered more Fading still The noise that people make Wasting time To acquaint People that you'll never know Has more weight Than saving All we wish to resurrect As soon as we find, Everything we know is dead and gone. All the laws of alchemy are flawed. Asphyxiated in the fog Wait for the flesh To evanesce While we still deliberate Which blade Put All we wish to resurrect As soon as we find, Everything we know is dead and gone. Product of someone else's thoughts.

Return 02:34
Try to Look beyond All we have And all we've found But all we see is now Fingers slipping off The walls making sounds Echoing all i need Calm down, All this will resolve itself You don't control, All you think, just take a breath Close your eyes, Stay for a while, your entitled self Try to return Home (x2)

Nature 03:21
You and me You and me, we're stuck out of time Consoled versions of saved Crossed over the frays to roam these barren lands. Circling, draining, the compass never quits Failed to see, the absentee, mistook for something else Will it count for something? Will it count this time? Will you forget what ails us? Will you remember? Give me a hand, I'm not right Not even close to what I am Reassemble you with all that I have So if I give you all of me I still make someone else But I might come close to making sense of some of this (For you) Will it count for something? Will it count this time? Will you forget what ails us? Will you remember?

Enough 04:10
Reason with my riddles While my riddles are riddled with complaint. Disguised needles of antibiotic words. Never meant to cause pain. My reasons are fickle They never last till i need them to stay You're a magnet for my every word Just gather them while I chuck them all away. Have I said too much? Was it A breathing shrine for scabs where mirrors never had much to say. There's big stitches holding me together They're scaring you away. The cabinets are empty What's left just expired yesterday So we spilled a bit of the mirrors To fix up a new remedy. Have we done enough? Was it But I started to reflect and you can see how that's a whole new problem in itself. I'm spinning around to catch your reflections, all you see is you while I can't look away.

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
