you could do somethin

Cybernetic Organism

and it’s only for a time we’ve fallen back again
and it’s only for a lifetime standing hand and hand

when i see you in the corner of my eye trying to sleep
when i’m holding what i have and what i need to keep

how do you know
i love you so

Canada Day

an extremely skeletal draft on a new song

rots my teeth and stains my skin
this treaty’s become punishing 
open glow
dusty road 
close my eyes
light my lantern in the northern skies  

it reaches out just like a fist 
growing out me like a cyst 
tragic joke
broken yoke
to my surprise 
put back together before sunrise

all bummed out and full of sin
my head’ll burst just pull the pin 
molov, the state I’m in

(could you tell me how that feels)

Lyrics: 

Spending days by the window
Waiting for the air to come 
And the city moves 
To the beat of a sickly drum
For now, I guess I'll try and find
A cosy spot in the sun
Like strays in the street, we'll just have to start
Getting used to pollution

It was funny how we couldn't see 
The trees through the smog
We knew it then, it was going to be
The year of the dog

Well I bark all day
Just to get myself a treat
And I whine all night
Because I can't get to sleep
Even released from my master's leash
I can't face the street
I only wish you could choose
The memories you keep

It was funny how we couldn't see 
The trees through the smog
We knew it then, it was going to be
The year of the dog

I'll get out of this city alive if it kills me 
I'll get out of this city and I'll breathe easily
I'll get out of this city and I'll never come back

Well the year rolled over 
The dog just ran away
As nostalgia grows and scars unfold
I see it in a different way
Now my days are clear and there's no more smog
I can't say it well, but it sure was swell
To be a dog

Year Of The Dog

super super rough draft and the masterings fucked cos i messed up the recording ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

eyes light the way
when meanings gone
as night turns to day 
and salves all wrongs 
hear me in the morning
when the strangled cries are ceasing
just for one more silent golden song

wings beat 
hands closed
mouthpiece 
swing low
grab for the light he said
clutching his cigarette
fire for breaking bread
bullet upside my head

splintered decay 
from the bombs 
from where I lay 
seems to throng 
around me, a warning 
of our orphaned fate repeating
all across the silent scarlet long 

wings beat 
hands closed
mouthpiece 
swing low
pass through the night prepared
chimneys and open air
people largely seem scared 
the firstborn has not been spared  

wings beating 
hands closing
mouth speaking
will broken 
the goodwill has not been spared
the bodies have been prepared 
something I should’ve said 
something I should’ve said

Memories

XO - Don't take my sunshine away - Sparklehorse cover

Did I take too long
To tell the truth
Sleep alone
Say goodbye
Lonely hour tonight

How do you find
Living in all the time
Never say what’s on your mind
You know I hate you
And I had to go

Did I find the words
To say to you
And I 
Run away
Sit alone
Right where I belong

On the wrong track
Right onto the street
I lost your trust
And I lost a key

Can’t you ever see what’s not right in front of you

Sleep away the days
The days
The days
Today’s the day
Today’s the day

written and recorded by Hafiz Nazhri

Sleep Away the Days

Fall

You shine so bright, through the fog and city lights 
You shone through time, and your light is getting’ here

You were dead so long ago, but I can see you now
I kept me eyes on, your light is keeping me
Here, here

Star is shining , star is shining
Star is shining, star is shining for you, oh oh 
Star is shining, star is shining,
Star is shining, star is shining for you, oh oh

I was blind to everyone, I could only see the sky 
I wanna fly, through space where there is no 
Time, time

Wish I could be, the light that’s keeping your 
Eyes above everyone across your
View, view

Star is shining , star is shining
Star is shining, star is shining for you, oh oh 
Star is shining, star is shining,
Star is shining, star is shining for you, 

For you, for you, for you
Ohh, ohh, it’s shining for you
