piece of mind.


Piss Off
by Alistair Chong

I don't want to see that again.

You wear that mask of yours,
Pretend to be her closest friend.
But in the end just want to defend
Your face, say that you were there.
Your pathetic practised prose of verse
Laced with sickly sweet words
Accompanies selfishly soft eyes.
But all I see is a slim and shallow disguise.

Get out of her face.
Leave her to be.
All she needs is herself to see
That time is all she needs.
Give up on your disgrace.
One day she'll see your who,
But now is when I'm saving her from you.
So just step back and run before you get smashed through.

Keep your head out of the hole
No one wants your console.
Keep your hands off our backs
Before they're cracked and broken
After everyone's woken and seen past your tacts.
Because in the end, we'll see your within
Worse than the most evil sin

Get out of her face
Leave her to be
All she needs is herself to see
That time is all she needs
Give up on your disgrace

One day she'll see your who
But now is when I'm saving her from you
So just step back and run before you get smashed through

Run, run, run.
I'm sick to the core
Don't want to hear you anymore
Because friends watch for friends
And you aren't one of them.



On a different note and in a different key,


Let Go by Alistair Chong

4 a.m. morning clock screams
Urgent with every ring
I open my weary eyes
and ready myself for today's tries
Trudge with my head low
Feel the pavement passing as I go
Into the blur of today's whirlwind
Knowing today will be the same as it's always been
And I realise the reality
Of today's monotony
With today being the same
So I anticipate tomorrow with a smile today

Tomorrow
I wake up to lie still
Watch the sunrise over water
Walk down the beach until
I get beyond the border
Tomorrow
I'm lying back with you
As we watch the clouds drift by
Let the sunshine wash us through
Just you and I

Sometimes it seems you are lost
Inside the cyclic chaos
You slip through my mind
As coiled frantic unwinds
It eats at me with guilt
That it seems my mind is filled
With now for the future
And edges you away from the picture
So I know that tomorrow the sun will shine
And you are all I'll have to pass the time

Tomorrow
I wake up to lie still
Watch the sunrise over water
Walk down the beach until
I get beyond the border
Tomorrow
I'm lying back with you
As we watch the clouds drift by
Let the sunshine wash us through
Just you and I

We'll see the sun rise and fall
Hear the ocean's timeless call
Let time slip through our fingers
Letting ourselves to linger
Give up on all I've toiled with
Because you're being is worth it.
