seasons change

see you later by Alistair Chong

well goodbye summer
a long time coming
so we'll be going
see you next year round
same time
who knows what will be
in three hundred sixty-five

27.2.10

they fall down

wishing on a star by Alistair Chong

on a broken sky
sits the stars in night
waiting for one chance to shine
a billion years
have seen countless tears
from the heavens
shooting stars crumbling to the ground

26.2.10

unloading

this is therapy by Alistair Chong

one track night
tonight is a one man band
out like a one night stand
a meaningless joy ride
but so much joy

25.2.10

foresight

i know the future by Alistair Chong

i'm blind
a year from now
i'm deaf
can't hear the sound
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

i will by Alistair Chong

i will make it
it's only a matter of time

19.2.10

be wrong

wrong state by Alistair Chong

no i don't want this anymore
pushing away
it's not what i thought it was
or hoped at all
no, i don't want it

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
who you are meant to be
are we really living
or in another system
of systematic convention
i want to know

7.2.10

oh long

forgotten things by Alistair Chong

seems that
only the midnight hours
can talk to me
persuade the writing hand
churning inside this mind

6.2.10

endless

suns by Alistair Chong

time
she was my friend
now not so sure
who she is
but still she takes my hand
and pulls me away
from where i love

5.2.10

as you are

fading out by Alistair Chong

sleep
asleep
peacefully
breath will rise and fall
i watch it leave and go
into the night
out for the night

4.2.10

this is my

lines over lines by Alistair Chong

when i didn't know yet
things i do now
they were lines
that i hadn't read
but its pretty loud

3.2.10

take a chance

ambitious by Alistair Chong

easy
for a month
with 28 days

to find and climb
through windows and doors

2.2.10

initiate

it's always like by Alistair Chong

was never my intention
to fall behind
the handbrakes were on
and i never realised
but now
i'll try
catching up
foot on the pedal
bit by bit

1.2.10

some just say

the right things by Alistair Chong

words that could inspire
have done so
a warmth inside
grows and grows
into a smile
outwardly emotive
