feel the smoke light up your way
find words to bleed what you have to say
read past the lines on your face
smile at your falling out of place

smother my whole existence with words
that never took a form
titles of worthless meanings
lesser than a senseless worm
laugh at your pathetic figurine
in mirrors of fate
take your time to build you up
and fall into self induced hate

faulter, inflicting pain on residues
of what's now a stain

bring me apart from everything
I have ever known
smother me, keep away
I fall into myself

Faulter

let me drag you to me
slowly like falling
ashes
in the mad wind

slowly keep them coming
all your washed up pride
let me gather from you
let me make them mine
bid your pride goodbye

hear the bells
hear them ringing
in your head
hear them singing
slowly
give in

hear the bells
hear them ringing
in your head 
I am singing
slowly
let me in

let me drag you to me
slowly like falling
ashes
in the mad wind

Let Me Drag You To Me

Empty Sky
playing its tune again
silent
the night is watching
watching
the black moon
floating
on empty sky

say, can you feel
empty sky
yawning
eclipse
calling
your name
echoing
hitting the emptiness

hear the empty sky
playing its tune again
silent
the night is listening
your name
feel it rippling 
in your head
it's echoing

you exist
below the empty sky
echoing

you feel
the full eclipse
surrounding you
are you the moon?

you feel
the eclipse
devouring you
or are you the reflection?
below the empty sky





Empty Sky

these songs they playing
the tunes they saying
come close
tip toeing
between the seesaw
the other side holds
your sky
and we play
our seesaw
up and down
emotions roll

feel the soaring soul
sky, in your heart you hold
up, above you go
on the other side
of the seesaw

I know we want
our skies
I know we both want
our highs

but come meet
once in a while
and we'll listen

these songs they playing
these tunes they saying
come close 
tip toeing
between the seesaw

Between the Seesaw

"Galli"

Another protest in the city
Another girl destroyed
Yet another cry the nation soaks
Kathmandu watches

.................

See the city sleeping
Kathmandu, washed up, weeping
This monotonous drone will slowly seep in
Don't fall asleep, watch the smoke fumed night sinking
Let it ride on you, and hear her weeping
As the night rides on you, are you weeping?

Gallis slumber, houses they are high
Arm in arm, they are brothers in crime
Hush darling, leave us be tonight
High they dance, below Kathmandu's smokey sky

Dance with them to the tunes of temple's bell
Bhairav joins, tranced, in this tell-a-tale
Wake these gallis in Ason, wake up this hell
Let the deities know, tonight they failed

Let them watch the city die in their wake
One more scar tonight it will take
One more girl tonight wails unprotected
Right under your roof for death she is waiting
Inside the galli, she wails, caged in

Hush, gods will spare you the pain
Close your eyes, death awaits

chodana tyo chitiz ko gherai
umki hawa ko beg sangai

chodana aba choda
