My Song: Heal My Soul

Heal My Soul(c) 2005 Ahmed Arsalan
by A. Arsalan
Author's Note:
This song was probably written some time in 2003.


When the feeling's gone
When I'm not in my own
When I've lost my home
Then I find you there
In the shadows somewhere
And then you cure my wounds
And you heal my soul

When there's mayhem afar
And there's danger ahead
Then you take my hand
And you lead my away
And then you cleanse my heart
And you heal my soul
You heal my soul
You heal my soul
You heal my soul

When I can't go on
When I want to give in
When I've lost all hope
That's when you come in
And you don't let go
As you heal my soul
You heal my soul
You heal my soul

Time less days
and time less nights
The light you showed
Still shines bright
Your magic touch
Has made everything worth the fight

[CHORUS begin]
And I go O O OO O Ooo
'Cause you heal my soul
As I lose control
And you heal my soul

And you make me go
O Ooo U O oo
And you heal my soul
O Ooo U O oo
And you make me go
O Ooo U O ooO Ooo U O
ooO Ooo U O oo
[CHORUS end]

[Repeat CHORUS 'til fade]

My Song: Never

Never (c) 2004 Ahmed Arsalan
by A. Arsalan

Never
In a million years
Will I ever
Shed those tears
I will hold them back
I won't show my fears

Clever
That's what I thought it was
Could I ever
learn to be so strong
I will never fall
And I will stand tall

When my heart has a hole
And the misery is untold
When the spirit is gone
And the nights are too long

When the cries are muted
When the heart is uprooted
Can a man really find himself
When faith has eroded

Forever
That's how long it has been
Since my soul left me dead
and buried in my troubles

Searching
For that all elusive context
Believing but really not
Feeling but really not
Living but really not

When my heart has a hole
And the misery is untold
When the spirit is gone
And the nights are too long

When the cries are muted
When the heart is uprooted
Can a man really find himself
When faith has eroded

Hope
Is an elusive dream
(Like) An imaginary stream
Holding back
a loud deafening scream
Holding on
to my own self esteem

Forever
That's how long it has been
Since my soul left me dead
and buried in my troubles

Searching
For that all elusive context
Believing but really not
Feeling but really not
Living but really not

Never
In a million years
Will I ever
Shed those tears
I will hold them back
I won't show my fears

Clever
That's what I thought it was
Could I ever
learn to be so strong
I will never fall
And I will stand tall

My Song: You don't care

You don't care (c) 2005 Ahmed Arsalan
by A. Arsalan
Author's Note:
This song depicts the thoughts of a man in love with a "difficult" woman. This is not a verdict on all romantic relationships. This is just a depiction of human feelings. This song was written on February 12, 2005.

You don't care
what I do
Who I am
You don't give a damn

You don't need
You would leave
You don't plan
You don't treat me like your man

I'm looking at you
And you're looking away
I'm searching the truth
Why did you come my way

[CHORUS begin]
You don't care
You don't show me love
You're unfair
Sink your teeth, suck my blood

You don't care
Just beat me with a stick
You're unaware
How I am at the end of my wits
[CHORUS end]

Subtlety is lost on you
You're ignorant, and you're crude
You're hiding your low self-esteem
You're heart's gone black, and you're speech is mean

You never learn, you never grow
All I want is a chance to show
I could lead you to the light
If you let me relieve your plight

You don't care about me
But I care about you
I wanna go away
But I have to stay

[Repeat CHORUS til fade]

The Big Three O

My Song: People Say

People Say (c) 2003 Ahmed Arsalan
by A. Arsalan
Author's Note:
This song was most probably written some time in February, 2003.

People say that I can't do it
I don't know why they notice
only the things that I know
I have that I don't want to show

People have killer words
I guess they don't realize
How much words can hurt
When they throw their dirt... on me

[PRE-CHORUS begin]
So I say to myself
Alone in my world
Can I really go the distance
Can I keep faith alive
[PRE-CHORUS end]

[CHORUS begin]
I don't wanna be alone
anymore
I don't wanna just survive
on my own

I don't wanna just get by
I don't wanna have to try
I don't understand why
life gets so complicated with time

Why the world goes around
and I am sitting on the fence
Why so many things
just don't make sense
[CHORUS end]

[Repeat PRE-CHORUS]
[Repeat CHORUS]

I have been trying hard
for a very long time
I still don't know
where to find

Don't even know
What I am looking for
Is it some inner peace
Is it something else

Is it love, or is it myself

[Repeat CHORUS til fade]

My Song: Chill Pill

Chill Pill (c) 2005 Ahmed Arsalan
by A. Arsalan
Author's Note:
This song was written on February 4, 2005.

I know what yer sayin' is true
You're rubbery and I'm your glue
Seems like this is my cue
To go hide in my shoe
Cuz very soon I will rue
When you tell me "Screw you!"

[CHORUS begin]
So I'm gonna take a chill pill
I'm just gonna stand still
This won't turn into Kill Bill
I haven't even written my will

I'm taking my chill pill
Just gonna sit in the sun
Barbecue on the grill
I'm putting away my gun
[CHORUS end]

I know that you are always rude
You're never in the mood
Your heart is made of wood
And I've got matches in my hand

I'm gonna lay down on the beach
Somewhere out of your reach
A place where you are not around
The leech

Hey, I'm gonna take a chill pill
Away from your nags
Pretending to sleep
Where all I really want
Is make a giant leap
Make my escape

[Repeat CHORUS]

Peace out!
