Lyrics by Ali Jafri
It’s time to turn out the light
It’s time to say good night
It’s time to lay down your head
It’s time to go to bed
It’s time to hold bay bear
It’s time to say your prayers
It’s time to turn out the light
Its time to say good night
It doesnt have to be like this
It doesn’t have to be so unfair
I didnt know you’d take my heart
I didnt know I’d be so scared
I didnt know that this would be our last
I didnt know what you were trying to say
I didnt know that this could break like glass
I didnt know when they‘d call your name
We come to leave
It doesnt have to be today
It doesnt have to be this place
You shouldnt have to go away
But I can see it in your face
I would die if I could
Testify if I could
Justify if I could
Dry your eyes if I could
It’s time to go to bed
It’s time to lay down to rest
And as you turn out the light
I will show you the way home
We come to leave

Deer In The Headlights

Lyrics by Ali Jafri
We build a fortress in our minds
To keep the truth at bay, confined
The walls will crumble and we’ll see
The truth we feared has come to be
Frozen in time
A deer in the headlights
A moment of grace
A deer in the headlights
Oh denial
Deceitful friend
That lets us dream
Until the end
We cling to lies
And turn away
Of news that we cant ever say
Our hearts are fragile we cant bear
The weight of truth that’s everywhere
Frozen in time
A deer in the headlights
A moment of grace
A deer in the headlights
Frozen in time
A deer in the headlights
A deer in the headlights

Lyrics by Ali Jafri
If I am on the threshold
With one foot each in hell and heaven
In the depths of wonder
With paradise abandoned
Who would dole out clemency
There is no promise left here for me
This inferno makes heaven feel so cold
We imagined
The world was upside down
As we closed our eyes
The ground became the sky
We didn’t feel afraid
We knew that we were safe
And the magic that we made
We felt that we could fly
We found a world of wonder
And a love that would never die
Swallowed by the sky
We imagined
This isnt goodbye
You were just swallowed by the sky
We come to leave it all behind
This isnt goodbye
You were just swallowed by the sky
I am but a whisper
In a starry cosmic play
In a place of wonder
The universe expanding
In an infinite array
I am lost in the abyss
It consumes me
I am drawn into the light
We imagined
The world was upside down
As we closed our eyes
The ground became the sky
We didn’t feel afraid
We knew that we were safe
And the magic that we made
We felt that we could fly
We found a world of wonder
And a love that would never die
Swallowed by the sky
We imagined
This isnt goodbye
You were just swallowed by the sky
We come to leave it all behind
This isnt goodbye
You were just swallowed by the sky
We come to leave it all behind
