Accept Me

oct.19.2006

Open your eyes
Accept me
Open your hands
Hold me
See through me
Dive into my thoughts
Is norm too far?
I don't think so
Think, analyze
It's right under your nose
Reality's shit
Normalcy is sometimes fake
Faking is a reality
So it's normal to be a shit
Shit in the eyes of the many
But to me it mustn't
Because it's a part of me
It's me
So accept me
Open your eyes
Accept me

Wat Tym Is It?

oct.19.2006

Anong petsa na?
Gulo at lito, galit at inis, buwisit at paso
Sunog na ang sigla ng kaluluwa ko
Akala ko "ok" na ang lahat, tapos ganito?

Anong pesta na?
Wala paring direksyon ang buhay ko
nakatayo parin sa gitna ng kakahuyan
Binabato ang santol ngunit 'di masapul.

Anong petsa na?
Nape-pressure na ko
"Diyos ko, help me, help us."
Masakit sa loob, sobra na ito.

Pero ayoko sumuko
Buhay parin ang apoy sa aking puso.

Who Art Thou?

sept.23.2006

MALICIOUS
As if you know me
You can't hold me
You can't touch my soul.

FICTITIOUS
Never did I credited your word
You are unknown, 'till now
Did you even said something true?

CONTROLLER
You're misleading to arrest me
You came to conquer?
I wont let you.

THIEF
As if you've gotten something from me
You can't destroy me
I'm still intact, still priceless

NARCISSISTIC
Too much love for your damned self amuses me
I won't tell you what's real
I know that you know it and it fucking kills you!

Prejudiced

sept.23.2006

I am prejudiced
It's on my paper, I came from a quiet ship
Never knowing the reality
The world of the damned

It kills me, I feel it, It's like a stab on my chest
I tasted my own blood, a cut in the throat
Heat of fury burns
Consuming, raging!

Do you know me?
I don't know you!
Have you given me consideration?
I never even used my Libra scales on you!

Is this injustice for life?
The norms of society hits me big time
Now I understand
Back then I empathized, now I'm sympathized

How hurting, I can't do anything
A stronghold one can't destroy
Millions can't even raise a voice
Though I know I'm strong, I am weak.

So Near, Yet So Far

sep.23.2006

All the things that I yearned for are so near, yet so far
Never thought it would feel like this
I never saw this coming
I assumed everything's gonna be just fine.

But things happen, days seems cloudy
I am hanging
It's so near that I can feel it
Yet so far that I can't see it.

Every day seems I'm going nowhere
Just yesterday my life's on track
I planned every move, done my duties
But what happened, I got derailed.

Many things hover my mind
Gloomy thoughts of dim future
Is there really something in store for me?
I'm worthy, give it to me.

My hands are eager to grab it as it floats in the air
It's like a butterfly, fluttering, gliding slowly, but i can't reach it.

Fallen Angels

jul.23.2006

Past these streets
On my way home
I see these young flesh
With burnt skin, tarnished
Run as we pass them.

As we halt by the next stoplight
A boy lurked by my window
He stared as I stared
He knocked as I shook my head.

A doomed city of fallen angels
With no choice but to live in vain
Does anyone care?
Am I affected or do I care?

The engine is running, I can hear and feel it
The children are running, and smiling
The irony of life
Anyways, they’re too young to understand.

There's something to be done
Is it value system, economic drive, change?
Or accuse the children’s parents for lack of judgment?
But then, maybe, just sincere care and help would do.

Asa

jul.23.2006

Iisang pader lang ang pagitan natin… @
Ngunit parang magkaibang mundo and ating ginagalawan… #
Mapayapa ka sa iyong buhay… $
Ako nama’y sabik sa iyong pagmamahal… %

@

Kwatro kantos, limang dankal
Ito ang layo mo sa akin
Maaari kitang hawakan kung gusto ko
Ngunit my hadlang, pader ma'y magiba.

#

Sa iyong kapaligira’y musikang ‘di banyaga sa akin
Ngunit ang landas natin ay ‘di magkatugma
Minsan nang nagkabangaan
Pero sa iba’t-ibang direksyon pumatungo.

$

Ang hirap mo namang istorbohin, mailap ka pa
Saka baka ano p'ang isipin mo, kahit iyon naman ang balak
Hayaan nalang kita, tignan nalang kita
May magagawa ba ako?

%

Ano kaya kung malaman mo, nakaka-kaba
Tanggapin mo kaya? Makinig ka kaya?
Asa lang siguro ako na makuha ka,
O mapasaakin at matutunan ako’y mahalin.

Nagaabang

V1

Sa iyo akoy naghihintay
Masulyapan ang iyong mukha
Marinig ang iyong tinig
Kung maaari lang ay mahagkan ka.

V2
Ngunit itoy hindi maaari
Pangarap kong ikay mali
Paanot, saan maaaring maganap
Ang dasal kong tayong dalawa.

Chorus

Nandiyan ka
Nandito ako
Alam mo kayang nabubuhay ako?
Alam mo kayang ikaw ang buhay ko?

Akoy naghihintay sa wala
Sa imposibleng maganap
Akoy nandito lang
Nag-aabang

V3

Darating kaya ang araw
Kung saay iyong malaman
Ano kaya ang gagawin mo?
Sanay maging tayo.

Repeat Chorus

Coda

Nag-aabang lang, diyan sa tabi-tabi.

Fly, Soar

jul.19.2006

V1

When I was young
I always see myself, upon the pedestal
Where people cheer
As I come home.

V2

Too many years
I have worked and waited for this moment to come
I am ready
I’ll spread my wings.

C

Fly, soar
Shoot above high to the starry skies

Fly, soar
Find my rightful place among the stars

Fly, soar
And now I’m one of them.

V3

The time has come
The wait is all over now, I’m living my dream
My star’s shining
Bright above all.

Repeat V2, C

B

Nothing can stop this star
It’ll shine, I’ll shine bright, forever.

Repeat C to Fade

Each Day

jul.12.2006

Mornings with you are breathless
As you wake up right at my very eyes
I see love and worth
That moment I can say I’m deeply blessed.

At noon, as we leave each others arms
I hear you whisper, “I love you.”
Others may say it’s protocol
But that’s all that I need, all that I want.

Each day, I feel love
Each day, I give love
Each day spent with you is a gift
A gift of forever, ever after.

Each day, ‘till the end of time.

Afternoon isn’t a delight if I don’t hear your voice
You give life to my very soul
I yearn for you, I do
I’ll wait ‘till dusk to have you by my side.

Eve, you are my eve, my star
You complete the skies
As we touch each other and becomes one
I say “I love you”, and that’s for a lifetime.

Believe

jul.12.2006

There are times it seems it’s over
When as if you have no chance
Chance of living your dream
Your sole moment of becoming what you want.

These are the times when hope fails
When momentum crashes
When faith is doubted
And often, believing is impossible.

You’ve got to believe
Believe in yourself
That you can do everything
Everything you’ve dreamed of and wanted

Just have faith in yourself
You’ll succeed, if you believe.

Surpassing this struggle is tangible
It’s inside you
You alone can free yourself
If you let faith command, and believe.

I Hear You Play

jul.12.2006

I hear you play just around the corner
I love it when you play, I hide by the corner
I must see you, you mustn’t see me
I see you through that window pane, mirrored by the glass.

When you play my heart starts to jump
I got to hear you, I got to see you
But our eyes mustn’t cross
You must not know, no one has to know.

I dreamt of us together,
You played.
I dreamt of us together,
I sang.

I dreamt of us do these things,
But impossible, we’re apart.

If the stars suddenly chose us to cross path
I won’t tell you I heard you played
I won’t tell you I saw you played
Because you might never, ever, want to play again.

Wherever You Are

jul.12.2006

Wherever you are
I'm still hoping you'll come

To end all my fears
To wipe all my tears
To help me bear this sorrow
To tell me "It's okay".

Wherever you are
Please don't go astray

You're my only hope
You're my soldier
You're the one who can free me
You're my sole key.

Wherever you are
I will be waiting

Never in agony
Never again will I doubt you'll come
Never will my hope fail me
Never again, never ever.

Wherever you are
I'll still be here

Hurry,
Free me.
Hurry,
Save me.
