til sun is old

refresh by Alistair Chong

time to sleep
time to regain
conscious this week
easy seeing shade
clearing haze
from my walking slumber

like a

running around by Alistair Chong

a day
is just a day
what you do
determines how it plays
so you can sit
you can stand
or you could take my hand
make the most of it


Follow Sound by Deas Vail

Follow sound highway
Travel underground to find your soul
And you give a lot
But they don’t see you for the love you share alone
So go alone

Are you searching cold?
You’re willing to be more than bold for open doors
But do they pour this on
When they're fooling no one?
Now's your chance to let this go
So let this go

And I fell asleep
But no one said anything to me
So I never knew that you were lost
Wandering this world without a chance of getting through

Is this just a game we play together?
Do you think we’ll ever know
If the pros and cons allow for us losing hope?
You move in slow and steady motion
Oh you’re evading none the less
You know their lives are defined by portions of progress

And I fell asleep
But I could dream that I was anything
And we brought ourselves to this place
And turned and walked away to find a life that’s so much more.

You can say anything to me
You can say anything to me
You can say anything to me
You can say anything to me

Won’t you open up your eyes?
Through your window you’ll see
The sun is shining bright
And I promise there's a world out there

sure

through your window by Alistair Chong

the day wears on
still waiting for
some kind of redemption
if any at all
sights are gone
we'll take anything at all
for a whole new day

God roll the dice

band of brothers by Alistair Chong

somehow it feels
like today is just
yesterday continued
friends
they somehow turn
time into nothing
freeze it into
good times
to savour

out with a bang

dinner dance by Alistair Chong

suits and ties
dresses and flowers
we're riding high
into early hours
good to see
friends all around
a family
with ties we've found

up there

stage light by Alistair Chong

showman
i'll be a showman
let the floor
consume my all
lights in my eyes
finding disguise
behind these faces
it's pretty easy

just get it over

orchestral by Alistair Chong

this night
planets will play
a suite of fatigue
there's no heart in this
just waiting for it to die away
just orchestrating
puppet of the conductor

choerographing

dance you off by Alistair Chong

once again
feeling the beat
running through
it's the blood inside
pulsing to the tide
surge and hide
once again
moving in the music
power through the beat hits
trumping you out

fast lane life

busy by Alistair Chong

bring on the week
fill it more
and with activity
gonna let it come
embrace it with all i've got
let's dance.

thinking steps

soon enough by Alistair Chong

yeah i don't think
i've got anything else
pulling them further in
i need some creative
give me more

come up with

step by step by Alistair Chong

dance, push through
the music in you
your hands
your feet
duet with the beat
replay, again and again
try not to forget
the count
your head
from the top, from the top

waiting it out

and we're off by Alistair Chong

one to go
before we're going home
to sleep
to dream
recover
and to smile

narrow minds

ridiculous by Alistair Chong

can't get any more
in this ridiculous fear
paranoia takes the floor
and you can't let me leave it here
get your head out
it's only media
you haven't even found
anything to say
it's so narrow

total 90

scoreline by Alistair Chong

hear the roar
tens of thousands more
voices
watching for
the change in score

i swear

gone nowhere by Alistair Chong

wind back the clock
four years again
might as well have not
let those days end
because we're nowhere once more
trying to take the floor
don't take this life
i need something

everyone's got

struggle through by Alistair Chong

we're here
through it all
battled and broke through
the tidal wall
tired and beat
but still so much alive
safe from the heat
of dying to survive

similar to the same

over again and again by Alistair Chong

a bit repetitive
speaking of which,
stop saying it over again.
a little monotone
trying not to show
that i'm grey.
get a bit creative
gotta try and shake these
routines
off of me

mediated

don't be by Alistair Chong

again
missing again
don't you know i can
fend for myself?
a world won't kill me
the cold only chills the
outside beyond myself
inside i'm alive

one more

just give by Alistair Chong

water sweep down the drain
wouldn't be too safe
to chase a mess away
through drudgery
through dirt
through dust
through the day

that is all

finished by Alistair Chong

freedom cries
it's me, it's me
freedom flies
finally free
let me open those wings
clipped too long

up all night

down by Alistair Chong

midnight hail
pouring from the sky
to bring in the morning
from an ice broken night
and then comes the snow
falling right down
to cover the world in white
white snow

conditions permit

so long as by Alistair Chong

ready to take it
pen and paper
time to savour
dying moments
of social death

two more

losing out by Alistair Chong

nearing, nearing
its getting close
time slips by
and feet get tired
dragging, dragging

a fit

no glimmer by Alistair Chong

yeah i get it
you're not happy
but just take a look
nothing fits
where you see it
with glazed eyes
and pointless intention

broke the

breaking by Alistair Chong

an escape for a second
split moment freedom
where free fall
is taking me away
just me
air
my breath
slow dancing with the night

cutting

over there by Alistair Chong

not so far
into somewhere beyond
there's a field
definitely greener
without a doubt

if you

mhmm by Alistair Chong

probably
perhaps
possibly
no chance
i hope
me too
no go
no clue
alright then.

not really

motivate by Alistair Chong

seven days
what to do with seven days
what to do before
before its too late
sometimes in my head i'm taught
that i can't be bothered
and i learn that lesson

solitude

silent night by Alistair Chong

books will turn
pages flip
while oil burns
in a midnight shift
silence sings
children sleep
cold drifts in
on padded feet
and still time will not
stand still for me

strength

somewhere inside by Alistair Chong

there are some weeks
where every day
there's no right side of the bed
there are some days
when it pours
though it started over your head
there are some times
inside your mind
when eyes can't be met
but there are moments
that shine inside
that can never be taken
