Don't keep me in dark, I maintain dungeons in my backyard Pain is no stranger to me, just not fond of the clout I know the timing's off, There's demons on your ticket you can't rub off But feral creature can't you see? you need to scream and shout. Oh it's right behind the knees Oh it waits and aches and pleads You and I've been here too long, we're confusing all the shackles with the walls put up, We're not the architects, we're just shit out of luck. Did you ever contemplate, when you put up all these bars across your brain Why are you sitting here, guarding what's meant to contain. Oh just reach and set it free Oh it's right behind the knees Where it waits and aches and bleeds set your sights up high oh I will set your sights to the sky, up high.

Scraping confines Inside my mind Trying, uncharted scapes to find What you infer Cause I can't concur With my reflection There's disconnect What they had said And what rests inside your mind You've yet much to learn. Hope you can stay Your pragmatic ways Dismiss my going concern dismay I've so much yet to know I'm tearing down the walls to my room Til there's nothing to let you inside Blinded by the ruckus I've made Hiding from me you've become everything I've seen all of time Your skin on the tiles Answers radiate through your eyes You've yet much to show. I'm tearing down the walls to my room Til there's nothing to let you inside Blinded by the ruckus I've made Hiding myself I'm tearing down the walls to my room Til there's nothing to let you inside Blinded by the ruckus I've made Hiding from me you've become everything

Awaazen 03:19
Chor, kya faida hai rakhnay ka Ye Khayal, Kisi ko nahi bhaye ga Chhupa de aks apni roshni ka Maan ja, sab ko hai behtar pata Nishaan, na rahay teri nafs ka Kyun nahi, sab ko hai behtar pata Tu, Alag nahi, Teri khushi, Chuppi hui koi jaanay na Na manay tu, Teri ruh, Main tu hi hoon Lehron main nahi sukoon Alfaz hain tou sahi sab ke paas Nahi koi such keh raha Dill rakhne ko Tu, Alag nahi, Teri khushi, Chhuppi hui, Koi jaanay na Na manay tu, Teri ruh, Main tu hi hoon, Kyun tu maanay na Jhalak bhi, Asal ki, Dikhi nahi, Koi jaanay na Chhupa kuch bhi, Tu hai sahi, Maan ja

And the cracks begin to show In the sky I've always known To be clay All I'd written on the walls Is beginning to fade and fall Shrouded by day. I'm standing, still in my tracks, demanding the flesh I've been denied all this time. Allayed all my dismay All the whites were fine as grey For all I know But now there's flesh growing on my bones Consciousness I was beyond Begins to show. Fluxion, Witnessing my self destruction, both arms in the sky I'm standing, still in my tracks, demanding the flesh I've been denied all this time.

My legs Pulled me in the water She sways Pulls me to the shore Islands Pull me to healing My brain Pulls for a cure Eyelids Pull me to the real world Deep breaths Pull me back for more I know you think there's other ways Where we can map it Where we can find A place where my feet aren't swayed By all that's around. I know you think there's other ways Where we can map it Where we can find A place where my feet aren't swayed Only time. Her faith Pulls me through devotion My skin Pulls her back home. I know you think there's other ways Where we can map it Where we can find A place where my feet aren't swayed Only time.

Hue 04:07
She split her Sundays with mossy grey Her kindness split her mind in two She shared her throne with a shade she picked at night One that hadn't found its hue Her crown of rainbow frays' becoming clear Now it's just obstructing her view She fears becoming what she can't accept She forgets every time she pays her dues No one knows of the binds round her wrists and neck Was it me or was it you? Her skin is fading without the sun's caress The pale's turning down to blue The gold in her eyes never seems to rest Even when she smiles to bid adieu

Barely 07:12
Lately my words bathe in duress I make him weigh his worth against the turning of my hands He questions his motives to my credence We question grace, arms laid in wait for the hex. I borrowed some hours, from a friend of a friend. Changed my design, Changed all my plans.. He speaks behind curtains, trying to mend. He says he gets it, but i doubt that he can. And I barely listen I'm barely here. He barely listens. I doubt he cares. I worry for subversion, I dread for change I worry for things you wouldn't dare understand He tucks it all neatly, under a liquid fold And he worries for who I am And he barely listens. He's barely here I barely listen I doubt I care He maps out forever with paper toys He fails to see my tomorrows obscured by noise So we douse each others brains and set'em ablaze Til forever is now and the noise is laid to rest

Alright now You've found a way somehow To slow down the frames And be considered again Was it harder than it seems To justify the means? To prolong the bounds While it all crumbles around Does defiance apply For a need to survive? To change what you agreed upon By being born? While you move through time Validate all that survived

Jaagay Bethay teri aankhon ke saaye talay Roshni Phans gai beech buray khwabon main Tor de Bhanwar andhere ka Dekh le Ye asal nahi bus khayaal Marz nahi Hai tu ilaaj Dekh le Main asal nahi hoon kya? Main asal nahi hoon kya?

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
