if you did

all that we are by Alistair Chong

we forget
how fragile we truly are
a broken petal
floating down a river
ready to drown
in a flicker

If I Die Young by The Band Perry

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger, I've
Never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a
Boy here in town says he'll love my forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when your dead how people start listenin'

If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

21.9.10

any excuse

we'll be there by Alistair Chong

any chance
to indulge in what we want
a couple of drinks
celebrating friendship
and finding a good way
to start some kind of night

20.9.10

winston

brothers by Alistair Chong

brotherhood
well the blood runs thick
and i appreciate that
you stuck to it

the same family
but we went it well
a duo that would never break
thanks to you

22.8.10

life

birth by Alistair Chong

well was there really
a reason
no i guess not
just a chance that happened
and the universe
never could look back
birth
and a grateful child
to a God so good

14.8.10

leaving on a plane

you'll be gone by Alistair Chong

doing the same
the best way to remember
a card of five hundred, some charades
closest friends here
we'll remember you
don't forget
but i know life will take you
to the best places yet
hang your flag
loud and proud

13.8.10

for us fans

heartfelt meet by Alistair Chong

you say it means a lot
but to me
words on the back of my guitar
songs in the heart of the strings
you'll never be far
your songs i'd sing
and every now and then
i'll remember you again
and how you sang
thankyou AJ

31.7.10

juicebox

AJ by Alistair Chong

something about the way
he'd have something to say
through words he could write
he could throw emotion
into the deep blue ocean
and still bring a song to life

4.6.10

forces

drive by Alistair Chong

some part of me
that wants to keep writing
searching for the coming dawn
as if words could ask for all
of the night stars to leave

3.6.10

powers

getting there by Alistair Chong

don't think i'd find the will
to strive through until
the waking hour
or even get close

2.6.10

intersections

this way by Alistair Chong

a different direction
i should be looking in
does me a world of sin
does the street look so pale
in the mist of older days
we always find cross roads

1.6.10

cold front

upon us once more by Alistair Chong

well
here comes the winter cold
back from days of old
a year has gone by
yet she never forgets the night
where she returns
cold, heartless
such beautiful character

31.5.10

no more leaves

falling away by Alistair Chong

well i guess
we've come across another goodbye
another song for another time
well i guess
the end of fall
a sign for all
to curl up and keep inside

30.5.10

shout it

desire indeed by Alistair Chong

well deserving
could there be sacrifice
or is natural enough to suffice
a talent we are blessed with
oh how i wish i received
something more
but we'd make something more
if we just tried

29.5.10

taking them

meds by Alistair Chong

the taste
bitter and broken
would only do a world of good
to me
sick and weary
i hope this leaves

28.5.10

transporting

bussing by Alistair Chong

on and off we get
the bus will take the road
around and around it goes
thank God they do

27.5.10

carry through

we'll continue on by Alistair Chong

always there will be
a spring following the winter
breaking between the snow
and finding just another light

26.5.10

as the sun will rise

faithful by Alistair Chong

no matter how many clouds
how dark it gets
the sun will always shine
forever beyond the rain
and endless days
she'll be there

25.5.10

journeys

voyager by Alistair Chong

on a payphone
in Paris
waiting to hear a voice
a letter from New York
and it never seems too far

24.5.10

if it never does

wants by Alistair Chong

cracks appear
in between fears
of many things
we could never love
or we could find it wrong
or never in the first place

23.5.10

the chance

charmed by Alistair Chong

lucky numbers
and a four leaf clover
a charm we'd kiss
before it's over
all we'll need
is the result

22.5.10

passenger

stranger by Alistair Chong

so we end up
in the same kind of place
an empty box
and a featureless face

21.5.10

heart signs

still there by Alistair Chong

too bad
i couldn't be bothered
searching through this diary
to find a note
a note we shared

20.5.10

no more

tens by Alistair Chong

home stretch
of a part of me
alone this edge
will cut the spree
words upon each other

19.5.10

imprint

where's the mark by Alistair Chong

before we leave
would you conceive
ever giving something back to us
before too late
we leave our sign
nowhere to be found

18.5.10

this we know

rolling dice by Alistair Chong

a few more
we'll gamble away
giving lee to what we earnt today
what kind of words
do we remember

17.5.10

dull as

four leaves by Alistair Chong

there is no notion
or cyclical motion
of this routine
we're just stuck
and there's no luck
we could ever see

16.5.10

i don't think so

didn't care by Alistair Chong

there we go
more than a half
some kind of mark
to commemorate a sense of nothing
so a lot slipped by
don't bother checking in again

15.5.10

hounds

back down by Alistair Chong

in the background
a black hound
waits for the hunt to start
to tear this apart

14.5.10

too many hours

fatigued by Alistair Chong

eyes so weary
can barely see blurry
heavy and burdened
sick of the light that's here

13.5.10

always similar

uncreative by Alistair Chong

emptying the words from my mind
is a surprising thing to find
a lot of the time
there are only the same words
a sign of lacking

12.5.10

a lot of

to the heart by Alistair Chong

a bed of grass
root for a pillow
chilly air blankets me over
not long left tonight
i'll be warm soon enough

11.5.10

for a reason

all night long by Alistair Chong

trying to pull one through
a night we could open up
all the way
until the dawn is upon us

10.5.10

missed times

routine by Alistair Chong

nearly through
by the by we go
letting it all slip by
before we could take any of it in

9.5.10

boxes we make

more than this by Alistair Chong

where could we go
when things get slow
why can't we find something else
something different
other than a light in the end of the sky

8.5.10

ideals we create

sweetheart by Alistair Chong

if we ever find each other
sitting underneath a tree
or swimming in the ocean's deep
staring at stars above
trying our best
to envision this quest
we'd be alright

7.5.10

through time

civility by Alistair Chong

we could sit around a fire
imagine life without a wire
we could stare into the flames
get lost in primal ways
and pretend today
never existed at all

6.5.10

because we could

simple things by Alistair Chong

we could find
a sense of pleasure
in anything that's out there
a dream or a sight
anything falling under light

5.5.10

after we're gone

repetitions by Alistair Chong

i think i find
i use the word sometimes
a few too many
i think we could all
find the right way

4.5.10

just another one

some kinds by Alistair Chong

such a finite possibility
in a so called infinity
that i tried to find
sure we could try
sometimes that just won't get by

3.5.10

this old

catching up by Alistair Chong

some kind of impossible task
well it's a bit to ask
might i answer with a sigh
shrug it off let it by
i guess i'll set to it
get going

2.5.10

go for good

penny in a pocket by Alistair Chong

go for as long as you could
run with your feet as fast
as the wind through a mountain

1.5.10

when you die

final breath by Alistair Chong

what if you had
not one more breath to take
what would you do
would you hold it
or would u scream
or what would your last words be?
would they be heard by many
or cherished at all
who would even know

30.4.10

mindless thoughts

mulling by Alistair Chong

we could
probably fall
into an endless hole
want to die
but never stop it all
but i don't know why

29.4.10

i want to change this

inspiration by Alistair Chong

we could live our dreams
in our own sleep
or we could take a step
break getting it
and be in others'

28.4.10

everyday figures

mind blown by Alistair Chong

there are six billion
wouldn't it just amaze you
a population
and a world around the sun

27.4.10

correctly

tree in a forest by Alistair Chong

if a tree falls in a forest
who would know
if it rains in a desert
where would it go
if a mountain fell
would it show
some things
you could never know

26.4.10

wherever it is

running by Alistair Chong

we can run from who we are
we can hate the so called scar
we can look in a mirror
and scream
we could run

25.4.10

unknowing

wherever we go by Alistair Chong

we could save the world
and they wouldn't care
we could break down walls
and never be seen

24.4.10

a hero

impossibility by Alistair Chong

i swear you were always
the one for me
i guess it's safe knowing
that you'll never see
a word i write
or you will unknowingly
i guess i'm over
breaking up inwardly
always denied it anyway

23.4.10

somewhere before

paths we take by Alistair Chong

i wish i knew
what i do now
when i was young
i wish we did
things differently
back then
i wish these weren't just dreams
like it felt like then
now all it is is a dream

22.4.10

late or early

reassurance by Alistair Chong

sometimes
we just need to sit awake
just before the dawn
anticipate the sun rising
just to remember
that the world is round
that we'll live another day

21.4.10

bounding

childhood dreams by Alistair Chong

if only
my heart would pound
bound through my lungs
steal the air from me
if only
one would come around
she would have sung
and made this song complete

20.4.10

never

wishes by Alistair Chong

where should we
go tonight
a question we ask so light
dark and quiet

19.4.10

futility

rage by Alistair Chong

breaking walls
or slamming doors
a lot of frustration inside

18.4.10

originals

therapies by Alistair Chong

just because you don't see
doesn't mean
this isn't my therapy
i'll do it until i don't care

17.4.10

you don't really follow

get real by Alistair Chong

can we really follow our dreams
or is a dream all it is
a fictional fantasy and an unreal reality
that we indulge
in the morning daydream
or the midnight sleep

16.4.10

ruts we fall in

searching by Alistair Chong

sometimes
we push to the limit
searching for the air
outside of the box
beyond infinity

15.4.10

the point is...

misunderstood by Alistair Chong

we could dance in a club
and party 'til the day is young
we could raise our hands
and never lose our stance
we could drink our love
swim in lights above
and do it all over again
what for

14.4.10

always a reason

another's treasure by Alistair Chong

trash
out in the can
worth more to another man
cash
a dollar down the drain
priceless to those without the same

13.4.10

we all want something

get out by Alistair Chong

who the hell
do we think we are
much less than we think
all broken into the same thing
we could live
but we choose not to

12.4.10

live it

do it by Alistair Chong

we could only find
words to cry
if there was a life
that passed by
that we lived

11.4.10

out of rhythm

blues by Alistair Chong

eyes closed
blanket over
we don't want
the world to find

hey there by Alistair Chong

to anyone out there
hello
is there existence
or do we crawl back into our caves

9.4.10

radio bled

pop by Alistair Chong

always wondered
how the radio
can make so little sense
and how the words
could be sung again and again
in a mindless world
there's no more wonder

8.4.10

self note

anyone out there by Alistair Chong

who's ever going to read
words of a kid
stuck in a world wide web
it's like finding sand in the ocean

7.4.10

wrong path

systematics by Alistair Chong

i guess
in the end
i fell into the same trap
a world so grey
i guess
we couldn't bend
or break what they say

6.4.10

history writer

dreams by Alistair Chong

if i were a john mayer
i'd write a song
the world would never forget
a thousand years on

repaired

4.4.10

existence

meaning by Alistair Chong

sometimes
a day fills in the calendar
we really forget where
we exist

3.4.10

wrong reasons

ghost town by Alistair Chong

dust falls down
onto a rusty crown
will no one see me
just an empty town
no one to bow
how i thought it was glory

2.4.10

more than some high

lights and the like by Alistair Chong

sometimes it becomes a struggle
burning out in a rut
an empty firework
that's had it's fair share
of light and colour
now nothing more than burnt out
trash on the ground

1.4.10

birthday dad

for you, dad by Alistair Chong

you are here for us

here all along
unconditional, never failing
thank you for being the father you are
we will cherish you
in our hearts

31.3.10

let go of some

chain breaker by Alistair Chong

some kind of liberation
finding in words we scream
some kind new feeling
it's called freedom
stopping care
and whatever weighs us down

30.3.10

at heart we all

age by Alistair Chong

sometimes my bones hurt
am i growing older
finding the nights colder

at simple things i see
sometimes i forget about glee
i once was a kid

29.3.10

enjoy

round the corner

pedestrians by Alistair Chong

pedestrian
on the street

who it is
ever

27.3.10

how do you

getting there by Alistair Chong

you can get to the finish
is to run
the only way
you can find some land

it's all you can do

26.3.10

issues in today

facing today by Alistair Chong

listen
can you hear
it's those nights

and packed out seats

24.3.10

proverbial

fader by Alistair Chong

or was it for something else

23.3.10

growing old

maturity by Alistair Chong

i'd climb a tree
if i were three
or if i had less dignity

to try that again
oh what we've lost

22.3.10

limited

this is earth by Alistair Chong

autumn leaves
blanketing this street
underneath our feet
crumbling into the ground we meet
what a memory
we should cherish
the simplest of things

upward

progressions by Alistair Chong

day by day
slowly catching up
steps on a pavement

20.3.10

some kind of therapy

stupidity by Alistair Chong

ten days at a time
seems the strangest
we barely hold a line
let alone this long

19.3.10

i guess they

culture by Alistair Chong

a lot of the time
my mind will wander
finding the same old words
shows how i never read

uncultured and obnoxious
you'd hate me

18.3.10

lacking

we're alive by Alistair Chong

blurry eyes
burning bright
some lights just won't come together
out of focus
and breaking apart
i forget what it's like
to sleep

17.3.10

individuality

adject by Alistair Chong

keys are pressed
words are dressed
with the most unusual
ways and means we can find
just to be one of a kind
sometimes ridiculous

16.3.10

per week

two days by Alistair Chong

we love our time
timetable so free
no hours for a fee
i'm full of a way that i thought
was going to be
exactly how it is

15.3.10

deciphering

five too many by Alistair Chong

well, there were five
if only there were four
or maybe three
two or one would have been
more than enough for me

14.3.10

shortness

echoes of the sun by Alistair Chong

sometimes
i hear the echo of a summer
in the wind that blows by
in the leaves in the drive
wishing for me back

13.3.10

sometimes we miss

unsaid by Alistair Chong

every day
seems like
a lot of words to say
but we let them slide
hoping for a reply from the other side
just hoping

12.3.10

faders

enduring by Alistair Chong

we start
with fire in our feet
and wind behind our backs
but we often fold up our wings
and give in
much too easy

11.3.10

wasting

idle by Alistair Chong

99 minutes
is still a long time
so much could happen
we take for granted
the life we find

the days of the past
walking down the avenue

finding what has gone
slipping

tertiary

back then by Alistair Chong

somewhere in the haze
started a phase
the start of the end
of learning about the world

5.3.10

done in

small steps by Alistair Chong

partial parts
small portions
this is done in
there's only a matter of time
before it all catches up

on the calendar
now running as hard as i can

2.3.10

to go

just a couple by Alistair Chong

one or two
lines
use to be the way to go
i guess
it's just the easier way out

1.3.10

it's time

born or dying by Alistair Chong

yeah it was a long time ago
sometimes autumn leaves
would be born
or did they die
was so hard to tell
back in the memories
that i don't see so well

28.2.10

seasons change

see you later by Alistair Chong

well goodbye summer

they fall down

wishing on a star by Alistair Chong

waiting for one chance to shine
a billion years

from the heavens
shooting stars crumbling to the ground

26.2.10

unloading

this is therapy by Alistair Chong

one track night

25.2.10

foresight

i know the future by Alistair Chong

i'm blind
a year from now

down the tunnel we call life
somewhere there is an end
where do i step

24.2.10

standing where

age old lie by Alistair Chong

bus ride
the same
out the window
are men on a watch
holding the hour hand
and crossing roads
this is my crossroad

23.2.10

the world

wouldn't you want to know by Alistair Chong

so sad
that slipping through the night
i'll never meet you again
met with a smile
just a stranger
maybe we'll meet again

22.2.10

knife edge

fragility by Alistair Chong

all around
there were words
that hung in the air
trying to weave through
avoiding the collision
that broke the air
like black holes in a night sky

21.2.10

if you could see

birth by Alistair Chong

never found a picture
to match
those thousand words i wanted to say
if only i could paint a song
life and day

20.2.10

just give me time

i will by Alistair Chong

19.2.10

be wrong

wrong state by Alistair Chong

18.2.10

from the inside

for the moment by Alistair Chong

there's nothing like
the perfect song
clear
through my head

17.2.10

not for long

won't be by Alistair Chong

up and down stairs
crawling through heat
and the sound of voices
beating through my head
there'll be something better

16.2.10

you'll find it

away by Alistair Chong

a peace
2 and a half into midnight
tastes like a drop in pond
quiet
it's just me and a world

15.2.10

call some time

months on leave by Alistair Chong

yeah, i've thought about it
never got back to me about it
couldn't make up a mind
couldn't find the time
i'll make it up somehow

14.2.10

two more

red clouds by Alistair Chong

nearing the end
of a summer
we thought would never
find autumn leaves
lining its streets
all we see
makes us just like this

13.2.10

inspire

buried somewhere by Alistair Chong

somewhere
there'll always be hiding
a song
buried.
found, it'll bring me back
to life, life as i knew

Find Me by Boyce Avenue


So many nights trying to hide it
But now I stay awake just pleading for more
To think this heart was divided
I'm losing sleep cause I can't ignore

Feeling your touch all around
Peacefully hearing the sound
Of silence around us, I'm so glad we found us this way

Find me, here in your arms
Now I'm wondering where you've always been
Blindly, I came to you
Knowing you'd breathe new life from within

Can't get enough of you

I want to be where you are
In times of need I just want you to stay
I leave a note on your car
When I can't find the right words to say

Hearing your voice all around
The last place we're going is down
I'll blindly follow knowing you're leading the way

Find me, here in your arms
Now I'm wondering where you've always been
Blindly, I came to you
Knowing you'd breathe new life from within

With you in time
There's nothing else
My life stands still
You are the will that makes me strong
Make me strong
If ever alone in this world I know I'll always

Find me, here in your arms
Now I'm wondering where you've always been
Blindly, I came to you
Knowing you'd breathe new life from within
You sleep, here in my arms
Where the world just shuts down for awhile
Blindly, you came to me
Finding peace and belief in this smile
Find some peace and belief in this smile

Can't get enough of you

12.2.10

where i've gone

when i'd give by Alistair Chong

something could always bring
this back
i'm coming back
i'll be here
though an empty house it may be
i'll sit in its chairs and remember
long gone moments of a long forgotten memory

11.2.10

just right

things that sit by Alistair Chong

heavy, warm
thick and still
music on the inside
close my eyes,
open my mind
feel the fire

10.2.10

mumbled

210 by Alistair Chong

two hundred and ten
things to say
things i'd thought
i could articulate
guess not.

9.2.10

heavy eyes

usually happens by Alistair Chong

light by the night
keyboard sounds to the silence
i'll put my head down for a second
or so i thought
sleep will cradle me

8.2.10

meant to be

how by Alistair Chong

how can you know
