The Pakistani Race - Inspired by Three Days Grace's Song Human Race

By -
I don’t belong in this country
Not in this land of hypocrisy
Goodbye, goodbye

It started with a division; a Partition
A flawed two-nation theory
And I became part of the race

You know it’s hard sometimes
Being Pakistani kind
Trying to keep up with the pace

I’m sick of belonging
Tired of longing
Sick of belonging to The Pakistani Race

Pakistani Flag


If you’re a Shia or a Sunni
You’re questioned by nobody
But if you’re a Hindu or an Ahmadi 
Then you’re mistreated for being a minority

I don’t belong here
Not in this hypocritical state of affairs
Goodbye, goodbye

It started with a Jinnah and a Gandhi
A three-nation eventuality
And I became part of the race

I don’t belong in this country
Not in this land of hypocrisy
Goodbye, goodbye.


Best Live Performance of Human Race by Three Days Grace at Sessions X

Dreamer Deceived

By -
The end is near For every lover But they do not fear Now they will run for cover But I dread you Mistook you for a dream In the mist I had seen you Walking on a stream I am a Dreamer My mind can create any scene I never wished to leave her She was my actual dream Still you persisted Calling me to insanity I, as a Dreamer, resisted Yet you dragged me into reality So what you were A miracle rarely seen And as a Dreamer I got Deceived by a dream...

Lahore Vampires

By -
Dark-brown eyed beauties Giving you signals for the night Long silky-brunette haired cuties Leaving you tongue-tied Faces with a white glow Black eyeliner on their eyes They never take it slow But who would believe my lies? From all that I know There are Vampires in Lahore Not mentioned in any folklore But from all that I know They feast on your blood Pit feelings never kept aside None of your words they have understood Now check your neck's side That is If you're still alive One teeth-gritted kiss And your life has more than died You are now the undead And amour is eternal Though if you trust a Lahore Vampire after you are dead The end will assuredly be infernal...
