Stuck

Verse 1:

Staring at the ceiling

I feel these walls are closing in

My body weighs a thousand kilos

Wish I could launch like a missile waiting in a silo, 

Waiting in a silo, waiting in a silo, waiting in a silo, 

Waiting in a silo, waiting in a...

Chorus 1:

Can't get out, I feel so stuck in helplessness.

Can't forget that feeling of freedom. 

Will this ever end? 

Verse 2:

Trying to shake the feeling

Of me being shackled in 

This loop of quiet battles where I

Wish I could launch like a missile waiting in a silo, 

Waiting in a silo, waiting in a silo, waiting in a silo, 

Waiting in a silo, waiting in a...

Chorus 2: 

Can't run away, I'm lost inside this emptiness.

Can't find the way to my home. 

Will this ever end?

Bridge:

Counting seconds, holding on

Still alive beneath the stone.

If I'm still hurting I'm still here.

There's gotta be some hope out there. 

Can't wait to launch like a missile waiting in a silo, 

Waiting in a silo, waiting in a silo, waiting in a silo, 

Waiting in a silo, waiting in a...

Chorus 3:

Can't wait to run, I dream of getting away. 

Can't wait to find my freedom.

Someday...


Unsent

Verse-1:

The first time- I still remember 

It was a windy day in October 

You took me on the back of your bike.

And we did everything I liked.


The first night- I still remember 

When you asked me for my phone number.

As we gazed into the eyes of each other

I thought you were a keeper.


Prechorus:

I don't know what we did wrong to get to this place. 

It doesn't matter anymore cuz it all went up in blaze.

Everything happened so quickly, everything has changed. 

Please help me out of it, put an end to this chase.


Chorus:

May be our story wasn’t meant to be,

Cuz we were never meant to be together. 

You felt like magic, and I fell for it- now I know better.

That you took it too far and I took it too far.


Verse-2:

The last time, I still remember

It was the end of an adventure

You felt like someone else I didn't know at all.

By then you put up a stone wall.


Prechorus:

I don't know what we did wrong to get to this place. 

It doesn't matter anymore cuz it all went up in flames.

Everything happened so quickly, everything has changed. 

Please help me heal and let me find some peace. 


Chorus:

May be our story wasn’t meant to be,

Cuz we were never meant to be together. 

You felt like magic, and I fell for it- now I know better.

That you took it too far and I took it too far.


Bridge:

So many places we didn't travel to, 

So many dreams we haven't lived yet, 

So many stories I didn't tell you, 

So many movies we'll never watch again. 

Wish I had a lifetime with you. 


Chorus:

May be our story wasn’t meant to be,

Cuz we were never meant to be together. 

You felt like magic, and I fell for it- now I know better.

That you took it too far and I took it too far.

That you took it too far and I took it too far.

That you took it too far and I took it too far.

Hold Me

Verse-1:

Never really cared for human touch. 

Never thought about emotions much.

Not the kind of girl who gets attached

Let me navigate the world unscratched.

Coldness was the source of my strength,

Had no problem being estranged.

It's strange how fast things change.

Don't think i'm deranged.

Prechorus:  

Just hold me like the world is ending

Hold me like i'm the last one standing 

For tonight, hold me like you'll never let me go.

Chorus:

Tomorrow is another day

You'll go your own way

But tonight no matter what they say

You're mine, come what may.

Verse-2:

I felt invincible being so guarded,

Let people think i'm cold-hearted.

Rough, tough, strong, bold it's all an act

Suits me so well in fact.

Hiding my weaknesses day in and day out

A flawless wall built around.

But with you the warmth I felt,

Made my heart melt.

Prechorus:

Just hold me like the world is ending

Hold me like i'm the last one standing 

For tonight, hold me like you'll never let me go.

Chorus:

Tomorrow is another day

You'll go your own way

But tonight no matter what they say

You're mine, come what may.

Bridge:

I know it's gonna hurt like hell.

I'll forever be under your spell.

'Coz finally in love I fell.

Prechorus:

Just hold me like the world is ending

Hold me like i'm the last one standing 

For tonight, hold me like you'll never let me go.

Chorus:

Tomorrow is another day

You'll go your own way

But tonight no matther what they say

You're mine, come what may.

Queen of hearts


You may be the King of Diamonds. But don’t underestimate me.
I’m the queen of hearts! Only I can set you free.
The game’s not rigged. It’s just that I happen to make the rules.
I happen to own the game, happen to be cruel.
Come after me with all your arrows and knives and guns.
Take a good look at me before you Unleash your demons.
Play your offence, I’ll forever hold my defense. You will give in.
Cause you know it deep within, In the end I’ll always win.
I’m just a pawn, A ticking time bomb, waiting to become the queen.

Pull out your wild card. But get ready to get scarred.
I’ll be waiting for you to let down your guard.
Climb your ladders just to get bitten by my snake.
This game’s not a piece of cake. Your life is at stake.
When it’s my turn, all your bishops and knights will burn.
Your castle will crumble. With your head hanging low, you’ll return.
Play your offence, I’ll forever hold my defense. You will give in.
Cause you know it deep within, In the end I’ll always win.
I’m just a pawn, A ticking time bomb, waiting to become the queen.

Check mate honey! Your time is up darling.
The game’s been lost before you even started playing.
I’m just a pawn, A ticking time bomb, waiting to become the queen.

ইচ্ছা


ইচ্ছা ছিল একটা লাল বেলুন কেনার
ইচ্ছা ছিল রংধনুর রংগুলোকে চেনার
ইচ্ছা ছিল একটা দুইটা তিনটা করে তারা গোনার
ইচ্ছা ছিল একটা গল্প লেখার টুনি আর টোনার
ইচ্ছা ছিল কনসার্টে গিয়ে একটু গান শোনার
ইচ্ছা ছিল সাগর থেকে ঝিনুক কুড়িয়ে আনার।

ইচ্ছা ছিল কত প্রশ্নের উত্তর জানার
ইচ্ছা ছিল তোমার সাথেই স্বপ্নগুলো বোনার।

যাবে আমাকে নিয়ে কিনতে সেই বেলুন?
আমার যত ইচ্ছা ছিল করবে কি তা পূরণ?
নেবে আমাকে গুনতে তারা দুই কিংবা তিন?
লিখব নাহয় গল্প এবার নিয়ে আমাদের দিন।

ইচ্ছা ছিল দেশ-বিদেশে নিরুদ্দেশ ঘোরার
ইচ্ছা ছিল হাত ভরে নীল চুড়ি পরার
ইচ্ছা ছিল হাতের মুঠোয় জোনাকি ধরার
ইচ্ছা ছিল জীবনটাকে নিজের মতো গড়ার

ইচ্ছা ছিল কত প্রশ্নের উত্তর জানার
ইচ্ছা ছিল তোমার সাথেই স্বপ্নগুলো বোনার।
যাবে আমাকে নিয়ে নিরুদ্দেশ ভ্রমণ?
আমার যত ইচ্ছা ছিল করবে কি তা পূরণ?
নেবে আমাকে গুনতে তারা দুই কিংবা তিন?
লিখব নাহয় গল্প এবার নিয়ে আমাদের দিন।

Auni's Song

Verse-1
Have you met that girl? They say-
She's got dream pop song, lullabys,
And board games for you to play.

Pre-Chorus-1
Rainbow hair turns from rainbow
To blue then green in progression.
She's a bursting kaleidoscope,
His pixie temptation.

Verse-2
In the sunlight her skin is gilded honey,
A shade of warm brown.
Yet her locks ever changing colour,
Makes her super fun.

Pre-Chorus-2
Dark laughter, mysterious yet
Bubbly in nature.
She's a mesh of in control
Yet free, gypsy rockstar.

Bridge
She does no drugs,
Is high on life,
squints her eyes while she smiles.
She'll tell you how it is,
What it is straight up.
Living life to the fullest,
No half cup.

Outro:
Have you met that girl? I say-
She's a nutcase and so rude.
But I love her anyway.
I love her anyway.
I love her anyway.
I love her anyway. 

Northern Lights

Verse-1:
Northern lights, tell me a story of northern lights,
Tell me a story of a princess and a prince.
Or no, may be a sword made of laser beams,
Tell me a story of a farm boy with the dreams.
Oh wait, may be a witch with a magic peach,
Tell me a story of the sun set on the beach.
Pre-Chorus:
I promise, I’ll pay you back with a story of mine.
It’s more precious than the nickel or dime.
Chorus:
We are nothing but the stories that we make.
When I tell, I give a piece of my soul for you to take.
Verse-2:
Northern lights, tell me a story of northern lights,
Tell me a story where the villain dies.
Or no, may be a girl with the wings, who flies,
Tell me a story of a land where ocean dries.
Oh wait, may be the queen who cries every night,
Tell me a story of the rebels, who rise.   
Pre-Chorus:
I promise, I’ll pay you back with a story of mine.
It’s more precious than the nickel or dime.
Chorus:
We are nothing but the stories that we make.
When I tell, I give a piece of my soul for you to take.
We fearlessly enter magical territories.  
We forever live in each other through our stories.
