lyrics

We show our love like anesthetics
For those behind a padded wall
Staring down the barrel
Perhaps to brace their fall

And you showed him reserves
Of your sweet cure
And you say there's plenty to go,
But can he be sure?

Can he be sure?

We traveled all this distance
In our world so grim
We walk all day on terra treadmills
To humor cosmic whims

We use each other for shelter
From waves not seizing to cut through
Despite all we accomplish
We still remain me and you

So why do we still
Trade in our sorrows for charades
Our secrets, still so present
Within the confines of this haze
Where are you rushing
When you're where you need to be
It's nearly over
Why must we outrun our grace?

Moon walking rabbits
In the headlights of a car
A life time in the rapids
Closed our eyes off to the calm

Won't do good to cover your face when
You're falling off the edge of the wall
Youthful indiscretions
Don't mean anything at all

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
