Gaurav Chakrabarti

It’s all in the mind.
What you can imagine or can’t
Free from defilement and want
Your wife and kids and home
New York and Paris and Rome
It’s all in the mind.
Think about it,sin and virtue
A million dollars that left you
God and His absence
Truth and its pretence
It’s all in the mind.
Honor, faith and shame
Match,set and game
Responding to your design
It is all you will find.

All the late night bars and pubs I’ve strolled
Are running their regular charts
Was feeling like an undisclosed man tonight
Wasn’t letting noone close to my heart

Didn’t know you were fishing
And I am an easy fall to pick
All I should know
You walked through the door
You had it your way, Miss

12 bar blues to give me company
The city makes love and war
Far away from unsung reality
Wailing cops and rowdy cars

Don’t know how you hit me
I was fine in my own thin skin
You don’t trade in hearts
Too proud to scar
Thinking no goodnight this

Now no lass is standing open
No cab running low on demand
Alcohol can’t be denied this night
No place for a wanna be band

Never loved being such defeated
You’ll hurt but never reveal
Now you have my soul
Crime on parole
Into the night that is

I love that you’re striving and I hope that you win
The hard work you’ve put in,I pray the phone rings
If your design should find a place in time
And wanting souls find you to align
It‘s right that you’re trying and there’s the song to sing.

When you run with the right choices,there is some integrity there
Every face to a story,a world to repair
Millions who slave to lose behind the curtain
I hope you find harmony with them certain
I pray that you are trying without your mind on win.

The dead began to sing
Myriads of tales,unabashed, strewn unseen
The dead had to chip in

Vacuous human race, blind to its haste
What words failed to reveal
What man fears but waits till he feels
The dead warned pellucid

Hungry nights, Dying child…spoke her eyes
Echoing bombs, Lacerated rights
Unearthed malfeasance,Devil‘s nod to unfair
The murky sky does get clear
Their souls threw fables not gleaned
Dead had to break in

What was locked in hearts
How their souls morphed from start
It wasn’t all dark
Yes.Life was beautiful.They’d chant
Macabre and frail
They knew more than they could tell
The dead began to sing.

Endless sea,take me home
This ship‘s been sailing on and on
Blue,black,white,sky and grey
Show me green,show me skin,show me day
Lilies and roses and daffodils
Greener pastures,horses and hills
Show me home,show me Rome
Heed me love,melt all stones.

Endless sea,
You were trial and claims
Pirates ,mermaids and piscean planes
Challenges to life,to an inch of death
Survival hath befriended us,dusk and day.

Endless sea,
You should end.
Time will change what you never intend
You were house to hope,but we love land
There I see,
Golden sand.

Listen paranoid,
Run to yer Mama
The voices in your head they scream
Are channelled from Bahamas
Pounding heart,pumping fear
Manhood crumbling, childlike tears
You’re a shame to humanity as you fall
Paranoid,you were born to crawl.

Paranoid
Beware of this planet
Noone loves a man like you without throwing in a bait
Now go explain how you feel to a competing world
Youre a walking talking Big Foot in the streets as you curl.

Paranoid
The walls they keep closing in
You are trapped in your soul and the air is getting thin.
This darkness swallows you whole as you surrender defeat
Paranoid, life never promised being a treat.

All goodbyes aren’t gone
And a loving heart is the finest home
If you belong.
All darkness is not to be shunned
All roots are borne in the dark
You take from the earth to embrace the sky
You learn to fly.
All cataclysms aren’t mindless
Life does not throw you an undeserving pitch
And in the end, you are bigger than the experiences you go through.
All you dislike isn’t impure
You shed your skin time and again to love it all
All phenomena resided in you
And you were Supreme.

It’s been a long flight to New York City
It’s been a long night in San Francisco
They said I wouldn’t like being alone
I‘m looking for another place to go

You say you’d love me anyway
Your Spirit is here,mine to stay
In Brussels,Vienna or Bruges
I’m out in the world surfing a cruise

I know them from Sydney and Auckland
From golden beaches and black sand
In the neon lights of Tokyo
I’m looking for another place to go

I travel the world to open my eyes
How barren mountains are coddled by scarlet skies
What I’ve learnt from dusks in Paris and Rome
You embrace it all as your heart is your home

I’m looking for another place to go

Mirror!You keep on lying
You show us a figure that keeps defying
What it faithfully is
The shades that swirl
Inside a soul that was to ride this curl
Mirror!Don’t you know the truth?
Infinite life expressions
Beyond a single view?
Dandy and Sexy to show their faces
Obese and ugly run behind in these races
But mirror you lie
You never show beyond the eyes
If you ever were a mirror that could tell the truth
Not many would want to stare you through
Mirror,you delude.

It’s not about me baby, they ain’t counting me in
Joke’s on me baby, I’ve been failing within

Don’t ask for sunshine and love girl
It’s been a dark to darker’s world

Our dreams they were lies, like the Gods we prayed to
Your fate it was blind, and I can’t see too

I am not the one to open doors girl ,and treat you kind
You were a fool babe ,to love my incorrigible mind

Run baby run, as far as you can go
Blessed be your soul,my luck won’t see you anymore
