It's getting late, for yesterday, I hesitate, and yet I'm not finished. Weighed down by the test, my own self unimpressed, maybe I waited too long... The past is haunting.
Moments flee, and so do we, we disappear in and out of existence. Looking to the sky, insignificant am I yet connected to it all; my thoughts turn toward you.
All along... along,  along, along, I thought of you.
But why, so wrong, so seemingly wrong, to admit truth?
The games I play, with my own fate, a risk I take, living in wine bottles; Giving the excuse living life daily abused, no one can spin it better than I, gazing into mirrors.
So many years have we both known each other but can I predict you? Even my own skin rarely feels just like a home, maybe we are victims afterall- of our fake will.
All along... along, along, along, I thought of you.
But why so long, so seemingly wrong, to admit truth?
And what if we felt, was true? History lies, and dies!
It's getting late, for yesterday, I hesitate, and yet I've not started. Weighed down by the test, my own self unimpressed, maybe I waited too long... The past is haunting.

A Thousand Eyes

Suddenly this world before me
Seems so far away
And so I close my eyes and sleep
All the days away, away they're going
Suddenly the memories,
Deep inside my head are fading
I feel so numb but somehow it's easier this way.
Suddenly this world before me seems so far away
And so I close my eyes and sleep
All the days away, away they're going...

I thought you knew
What I was going through
But I see now that I was 
Just a bit delusional.
Feeling, bleeding, being, and needing
I thought that you did see
But I was just a bit delusional.

Suddenly

We all seem madly lost
On any given day
On any given day
We are parted
But slowly that evolves 
Into working through it all
And finally we are
Independent.

We're all made of stardust
We're all made of sand
We all sleep and dream
We all have a plan
I wish you would come with me
I wish you were here
But even in the darkness you are near.

I know that you are afar
I know that you are
I know that we apart
But still you are my heart.

Everytime I Go Home

Afternoon without you,
Afternoon without you,
Another noon without you,
Without your voice.
Afternoon without you.
Another noon without you.
Another mood without you,
Without your voice.
You gave, you gave more than you ever did take.
And you saved me.
In the evening you're not.
An empty space left in heart.
Time moves on but not,
Not for you.
Afternoon ya Amy,
Afternoon ya 3ieny.
And in the noon so strangely,
Your voice is heard softly on the radio...
You are missed, you are missed
And no one is to blame not even you.
Cause something is inside us all,
Something is inside as all!
Tears run down my face,
All the nights that I misplaced
All the nights that I misplaced
My love for it.
How could I love it so?
My addiction-
I love music but I,
Traded it for lies...
Afternoon without you
Afternoon without you
Afternoon without you
..... Voice.
Afternoon without you,
Another noon without you
Another mood without you
Without your voice.
You gave, you gave!
More than you ever did take.
And you saved me.

Afternoon Without You

This song was written when I found myself attempting to escape instead of facing life's problems. Instead I waited for tomorrow. living in wine bottles and negativity until I became ill and decided to find a way to return to a more healthy, balanced emotional place.

Track 9 Al Watar film 2011

So far away
From empty space
You go on your way
But it's okay
I'll clean up the clutter
Yeah it's okay

Remember the books we read?
The things you said
The photos I'd take
You turned away
But that's okay
Yeah that's okay

But I I'm waiting still
I'm waiting still
I'm waiting still for you to love me
I I'm waiting I'm waiting still I'm waiting still

Life is not a book
To turn a page
Not like a key
Black or white
But shades of gray
And that's okay

Where do yourself now?
Where do your run to?
When you look at (ah...)
Is it still?

So far away
From empty space
You go on your way
But it's okay
I'll clean up the clutter
Yeah it's okay.

But I I'm waiting still,
I'm waiting still,
I'm waiting still for you to love me....

I'm waiting still for you
