All i see is colored shapes and memories
And clouds having fun in the sky
As we jump around in slow motion on white sheets
The wind picks us off into the night
Sparkles bounce off the surface in the eye
Every crystallized moment
Sculpted to a simple perfection
Light shining color into my eye
If this is all a dream than don't wake me up
Don't touch, Don't breathe, Don't move a hair
Let me go as i fall to experience
The endlessness of what i feel
Let me go as the wind possesses my all
This seems so real
Pick out the pieces and rearrange them as you like
There's no such thing as wrong
But i knew this was way too good to last
The sounds have begun to shatter the glass

Find a way to colorize
your darkest black and white memory
So you can televise
All the reasons why you came to be
And if you're still ashamed
With all your might just throw away the keys
And stay locked inside
The mirrored room where they check your bones
And stare faithfully as they count your teeth
They made you the enigma
That you had always thought yourself to be
The unsurity
Has become your home i'm sure you can see
And stare faithfully as they tether them away
The cards on which you built this house of clay

Long winding road
where have you taken me?
Far from cities
Far from civility
No one's offered to help
tote these heavy memories
I don't know where what goes
These don't belong to me
This wasn't supposed to be
The spirals in your hair
were just a guise i see
In with the new
Out with simplicity
I fear everything
That coaxed away your purity
Such a lovely word
Never what it means.
How did it come to be?

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.

Grapevines growing
on the walls of time.
They're leading to somewhere
I don't know but can call mine.
And I'm just watching the show
And I can't tell where to go
It's all just colors and haze
With fog on the looking glass
I know exactly what it is
I just can not describe it
And I miss my friends.
The ones I should've kept
Untill the end
Till we begin
Till all of what's
Broke will mend
I will follow
Through all the secret pathways
That trumped the ordinary roads
(that)Led to the pleasant disarray
That i could sometimes call home
And I just can't beleive
If this is it, or was it all me?
Untill the end
Till we begin
Till all of what's
Broke will mend
I will follow
Through to where these
Lights will take me

hello my friend we meet again
just the usual or new frayed ends?
what else have you gotten into this time?
I see you've gone and made new friends
With charming smiles and sharpened ends
but we're still here repairing your smile
so what can i do for you this time?
We'll never run out of sympathies
For your paper cuts and skinned knees
I fear you'll have to stop for the night
You have to leave to find your home
But you built a house and now you're gone
This blanket won't keep you warm all your life
So just brave through the night
come on home

We stood atop our hill
Looking down as the valley fills
Never knowing what it was like
Never knew what we had
Making failures out of little plans
Far away from worldly plights
Boy, Do I, Miss that time.
Marking all the streets and trees
Never knowing boundaries...
Yellows in a room full of blue
Never could associate
With their agendas and their hate
One and the same, me and you.
Boy, Do I, Miss that time.
And I, could not believe
That you could see
Everything beyond the eye
Could not believe
No one could be
So simple as you and I
When we were the heroes, like in my mind
When no doubts could survive.
Boy, Do I, miss that time.

Baaton ka maqsad nahi
Matlab agar pata nahi tou bus
Shor hai
Jhootay lafz aur jhootay chehray
Boltay rahengay ke tu kamzor hai
Kya tujhay pata nahi?
Uski haqeeqat koi na jaanay
Tere andar gum aik qayenaat hai
Yaad nahi kya tujhko ab kuch
Aik raat main bhoolgae ke woh tere
Saath hai.
Jo tu chahay
Sab kuch tou tere paas hai
Tu ab bhi uska khaas hai
Tu jhooti baaton say dill ko na rula
Jo maanga aur jo na mila
Kyun bhooljata hai istarha
Ke jo de sakta hai woh tou hai tera
Raaz abhi khula nahi
Bus apne aapko khona nahi
Aankhen band karke karle bharosa
(Kya hai
Woh cheez
Jo tere
Paas nahi
Kya hai kami?)
Sab kuch tou tere paas hai
Tu ab bhi uska khaas hai
Tu jhooti baaton say dill ko na rula
Jo maanga aur jo na mila
Kyun bhooljata hai istarha
Ke jo de sakta hai woh tou hai tera
Raaz abhi nahi khulay
Asliyat ko pehchaan le
Aankhen band karke karle bharosa.

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
