It's all shady and gray 
Like a grainy noir frame 
Won't you come rescue me 
From this grim mentality 
Grey and red look good together 
Where is my mind? 

Do you remember me? 
Said the skid marks on my knee 
I suppose we had a good run 
To which it said spare me the puns 
Grey and red look really good together 
Where's my mind? 

Oh where's my mind 
Got left behind. 

Wait a minute, what was that? 
People living under my hat 
Don't seem to have any etiquette 
Had to shave my head just to get respect 
Wasn't the best decision for December 
Where's my mind? 

The words are all jumbled up again 
It all means the same my friend 
(swonk eh ti evah t'now eh sekohc eh 
tibar seog ereht ho ,ytilear ot kcab pans) 
oh no, that was a different song. 

Won't you come back again? 
I've lost my way old chum 
Can't you retrace your steps? 
I ran out of bread crumbs 
Why must you grasp so tight to monochrome 
There used to be color sometime ago 

But gray and red go well together.

Ali Suhail - Bogart

I once had a chat with 
A fancy railway man he had 
Jewels hanging under his brain 

But despite the ornaments 
His soul was a parlor trick 
With mirrors working overtime to ape 

And in his time of solitude 
His heart of hearts could come through 
It's songs of Broadway-esque designs 
Would shine through as the biggest smile 

He said, 
There's no where I need to run 
I don't need to hide under the sun 
I was never really here 

My mind was always in the stars 
Treasuring vicarious memoirs 
I was never really here 

Maybe there was some pain his 
Grief had stillness to blame 
While he traversed the globe on his train 

Perhaps the sun had dried 
All that kept his thoughts inside 
Or maybe no vacancies remained 

And in his time of solitude 
His heart of hearts could come through 
It's songs of Broadway-esque designs 
Would shine through as the biggest smile 
In crystallized unclarity 
His soul began to look like all the 
Things that I had hid inside 
To become what I don't want to be

Ali Suhail - Railway Uncle

It all seemed so simple just a while ago 
Everything fell into place, disengage experience, Compartmentalize existence. 

You had such a simple little formula 
Broke down the condition, Disinfecting cognition 
Such a happy worried boy. 

But you did it again, Despite 
All the evidence that pointed to the other side 
Experiments to stable vital signs 
Whatever's working then has gone horribly awry 

If science is the key, it doesn't leave out you or me, 
Exceptions only prove the need, for newer systems that need to be, in place, to mitigate. 

And you can't quantize, All these feelings that arise, Compressions of the human heart, The contrasts of a pie chart, why would you even try? 

But you did it again, Despite 
All the evidence that pointed to the other side 
Experiments to stable vital signs 
Whatever's working then isn't anymore... 

Detached reasoning is hard my friend 
Just take another ride around the bend 
Doesn't get any better don't bother to mend 
It isn't a mistake if you do it again. 

Blind yourself with what you intend 
Or crack pot ways to transcend 
It'll be funny tales for the bitter end 
It's still a mistake no matter how much you do it. 

But you'll find ways to justify 
Why... 

You did it again, Despite 
All the evidence that pointed to the other side 
Experiments to stable vital signs 
Whatever's working then has gone horribly awry

Ali Suhail - Happy Worried Boy

Meri thehri duniya main 
ye kaun le ke aagaya 
Isko takiya maaroon ya pathar pe hi sonay doon 

Iskay khwaab ajab say hain 
Mujhko bhi kyun dikhtay hain 
Koi parwah nahi isko, ye aankhen band karleta hai 

Muun main bohat bheer hai 
Shor kardiya hai mere ghar main 

Aankhen laal, neeli khaal 
Teri asliyat kya hai yar 
Aasman ko kyun rula raha hai 
Haath pakar, baat kar 
Kya ajab hai tera haal 
Bilkul ajeeb, bilkul mere jaisa hai 

Apni jalti aankhon say 
Kyun sabko darata hai 
'Gar itna hai bhayanak tou kyun itna khaufzada hai 

Bohat shauk hai andheray ka 
Ye paani kahan say laya hai 
Khoon hai ya aansu hain, tera hai ya mera hai 

Raat hai iskay alfaz main 
Kis kis ko apnay muun main samaita hai 

Muun main bohat bheer hai 
Shor kardiya hai mere ghar main 

Aankhen laal, neeli khaal 
Teri asliyat kya hai yar 
Aasman ko kyun rula raha hai 
Haath pakar, baat kar 
Kya ajab hai tera haal 
Bilkul ajeeb, bilkul mere jaisa hai

Ali Suhail - Kuch Nahi

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.

Asphixiated 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.

Ali Suhail - 停止

Ali Suhail - Fear Leads To Stupid

Ali Suhail - Better Time Than Me

I wish someday i could express
That you can't blame your way to a fix
And sometimes it's OK to bare your chest
And let the scars be healed by a lukewarm caress


Ali Suhail - Sasti Machli

Red eyed ghosts
Keeping me from going home
Calling me from Paper shrines
That I've built inside my mind

Stuck between
Where I'm going and where I've been
Lost my way when I had to leave
Nostalgic for what never was


Ali Suhail - Red Eye Ghost

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Lyrics:
There is a place that I forgot
Between the reasons I made up
To justify the means
The things they thought that I could be

I tread through water as he stared
His eyes grew weak as I drew near
The teather, I surely knew was there
Was just some thread tattered and frayed

I scour ways to states of mind that waste away and rot
In alley ways behind structures riddled in scars from battles fought

The coursing rivers speak in tongues
Familiar language, strange terms
The concrete jungle only screams
There's no mirrors where I sleep

I search for dragomen that can render purity from grime
Unsophisticated, tenderfoot caught in conundrums so sublime
I scour ways to states of mind that waste away and rot
In alley ways behind structures riddled in scars from battles fought


Ali Suhail - Tenderfoot

To Tameez Bibi:

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?

Pursuit Of Irrelevance

To Tameez Bibi [Feat. Eridu]

Prognosis:

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

Prognosis [feat. Natasha Noorani]

Barely:

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

Barely

Hue:

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 rainbrow frayes' becoming clear
Now it's just obstructing her view

She fears becoming what she can't accept
She forgets everytime 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

Control:

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.

Control

All This Time:

And the cracks begin to show
In the sky I've always known
To be clay

All I'd written on the walls
Is begining 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.

All This Time

Awaazen:

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

Awaazen

Canaada:

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

Canaada [feat. Zain Peerzada]

Buckle:

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, gaurding 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.

Buckle

Avaralang - Ali Suhail (Everlong - Foo Fighters Cover)

1st single from the album Words from Boxes by Ali Suhail.

Lyrics:
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.

Attics - Ali Suhail

Hi, I made these songs to make myself happy and gain some perspective over what matters to me. I hope it can accomplish something along the same lines for you. 
Happy listening! ( ^_^ )
