the sun dressed the sky in a bright red cardigan so beautiful, so beautiful wish you were to see this my absence means nothing, nothing my absence means nothing, nothing i dont think you'll miss me at all no one will ever miss me i just want to make my family proud before i go
2.
the world won't stop spinning for you and i i'm still tracing memories from olden times pretending not to see this ghost will i get to see you soon? why are you so out of reach? just sleep in this lonely estate in patterns that never repeat my knees collapse as the sun laugh at all of us my thoughts collapse when i try to be the sky

i saw the city crumbling down as i was walking home last night everyone's oblivious my friends they feel like strangers to me i'm even unsure of myself time stands still bids goodbye to everything bids goodbye to everything i gave an empty promise to myself again promise to myself again i gave an empty promise to myself again promise to myself again today's the city's been destroyed and here i am trapped under the rubble with nowhere to go with no one beside me
4.
maybe someday i’ll grow tired of writing all these songs for you maybe someday they’ll finally take notice of me i fall down weak to the south coast its not so easy being alone its not so easy being alone when will i put money on the table when will i make my parents proud i fall down weak to the south coast its not so easy being alone should i just give up, call it a day will this be the last song that i will ever sing?
5.
my hopes disintegrate my soul has fall from grace i'm so afraid of this place this world has swallowed us whole i'll be fine seeking comfort in loneliness, loneliness, loneliness i'll be fine walking this path on my own promises lead me on leave me with nothing to say this world has swallowed me whole nanana nanana na nana... december is here and the sun has soak my hopes dry nanana nanana na nana...

so much unfolded this year friends moving on while i’m far behind the ghost of my past change still won, take its effect on me time still won’t wait it still won’t every september you will grow a year older than me i’ll be gone, you won’t see my face her ocean eyes won’t cry me a sea i’ll be gone, you won’t see my face your ocean eyes still won’t cry me a sea the promise you made on the 3rd day of may still echoes in my head it still haunts me i’ll be gone, you won’t see my face her ocean eyes won’t cry me a sea i’ll be gone, you won’t see my face your ocean eyes still won’t cry me a sea years at a glance i wanna move forward, what if i don’t? years at a glance i wanna move forward, what if i don’t?

about

a year has passed but here we are, still coming to terms on coping with your absence. the last few years prior to syed hafiz's passing, a couple of pivotal events took place within each of our individual lives; family loss, marriage, parenthood etc. all of which was going on during the making of our next album.

we can't deny that we feel gutted that we were unable to record these songs and put out what was supposed to be our last record together. to honour his songs and sincere love for the band, we felt it was only right that we compiled any recordings that we could find for the final record to share it with the world.

these songs were recorded unplugged and raw by syed hafiz that was sent out to us during the song-writing process. we hope that you will take your time to listen to his last few written songs with us.

this is 'may the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face'.

grief can last a lifetime.

may peace always be with you.
