Sleepless...

Slow down the voices, please...
I'm going off my mind.
It's 2 in the morning...
Couldn't they find a better time!

A voice of horror...
A voice of plight.
Then there are some noises...
No wonder can't sleep nights.

A cry of old pains...
And I am up again.
Begging to be left at times...
Or sometimes to be picked up again.

And I sit in this monkey suit...
Looking up at the moon.
Will this be over ever...
I hope that happens soon.

The alarm can go off anytime...
Resounding all over the room.
Couldn't sleep a wink tonight...
The day just came too soon.

Can't this just be over...
Can't the mind forget it all.
It's like they sleep in the morning.
But as the sun sets, out they crawl...
Couldn't sleep tonight as well
Couldn't sleep at all...

Call me!






What do I do now...
How do I make you mine.
I like the way you look at me...
I wish I knew what is on your mind.


I look around for signs and sounds...
And every movement rings some bell.
I wish you knew what I feel...
I wish I had the strength to tell.


Am I a nobody to you, tell me...
Like I am to everybody else.
Will you call me up tonight, tell me...
Will you want to be friends.


Swimming in a sea-full of acquaintances...
I think, you may not need me.
I have my own crowd,but I still do...
Look around now and then, for some new company.


I may be totally wrong...
I may be some bit right.
But if you don't give it a chance...
We would be left with- "What if"s, "May"s and "Might"s.


So, will you take a chance on me...
A chance to see those "What if"s and "Might"s.
If you know it's you and you are reading this...
Call me right-a-way- don't wait, don't fight.

To dreams...








All alone in this darkness,
I stand...
I stand...
With the roads in the map disappearing,yet,
I stand...
I stand...
There is a candle in my hand,
And a glow in my soul.
And there is a dream in my mind,
Some seeds that I have sown.



So for that dream in my eye,
For that glow in my soul.
I fight...
I fight...
Though, there is nothing I can see,
Close to what I want to be.
I fight...
I fight...
I have a dream,
I'll protect it.
Even if the world moves on,
And rejects it.

The end is only when I say that this won't be...
I've got a dream and it will be.

Stay right now...




So I knew that this won't last,
Some place deep down in my heart...
Right from the first minute,
From the very start...
I knew that we are together today,
But that some day we would fall apart...


Happens every single time,
Lost count of how many, though...
Wished on every fountain,
Every camel and every nail on my toe...
But life, I guess, stays more or less the same,
No matter how much I bother, it don't change...


And to this walking away,
And falling apart...
I am apparently now programmed,
 State-of-the-art...
Come, take, turn and leave,
Send the next one...
And yeah, you too can leave!


Can you try and surprise me next time round...
Surprise me by staying when I think you're gone.
By showing me that you'll be right there...
Surprise me by waiting when I say- I don't care.


Come to me on my darkest day...
On my loudest unrest.
Grow upon me somehow...
Like you were never gone.
Forever after, forever is right now...
