lyrics

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

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
