21,600
apat na taon akong nanahimik
dinampot ang pira-pirasong sarili
nagbabakasakaling sa pangalawang pagkakataon ay mabuo muli
di man kagaya ng noon na walang bahid ng basag
umaasang mabuo at makatayo sa kabila ng mga lamat
at nang dumating ang araw
na naisip kong kaya ko nang muling tumayo
sinubukan ko namang lumakad
dahan dahan at papalayo
kanang paa..kaliwang paa..
at nakaurong ng kaunti
kanang paa..kaliwang paa..
at natututo na muli
sa marahang paglakad ko
hindi ko inaasahan na mapapadaan ako sayo
di mo ako kilala at ganun din ako sayo
pero pinili kong manatili
dahil ano nga bang mali?
pinili mo din manatili
dahil ano nga bang mali?
lumagpas ng minuto, oras, araw, linggo
nandito padin tayo
pero bakit parang gusto ko nang tumakbo
hawak ang kamay mo at tumakbong papalayo
tumakbo at sabay na kikilalanin ang hinaharap
tumakbo at sabay na abutin ang mga pangarap
tumakbo magkahawak ang kamay, sa hirap man o sa sarap
gusto kong tumakbo
sa aking pananabik ay nabanggit ko to sa iyo
at humakbang ka ng isa palayo..
sinabi ko muli sayo
kanang paa..kaliwang paa..palayo
sinabi mo sa akin na di mo kayang sumabay
na ang nais ko ay di maibibigay
at doon naalala ko
oo nga pala napadaan lang ako.

We are looking at different colored skies
Different hues and shades
But I know the strings in our heart will always be tied
For we are staring up at the same vast ocean up high

I can see mountains up in the sky
I wonder if one day I'll be able to hike up on those rocks painted orange by the peeking sun
I want to feel the air where birds wander and fly
Be able to touch a soothing veil and calmly hum
Inhale the foreign fragrance far from what I'm used to
Hope that it will recolor the faded visions that I am currently swimming through

Two bottles down
But I can still smell my fear
Open another one, for myself to drown
But my sinking ship is vivid and clear
Grind something familiar
that I haven't tasted for years
Fire up my useless lighter that I've been keeping near
I just want to be lost in a different way
Stop being in reality for a second
Let my mind wander and stray
Taste the colors and let it linger down my throat
Swim away from my self despair and loathe
I know this wouldn't last
I hope this would last

We share the same sight,
but we differ in vision
Same mouth and tongue,
but we speak different reasons
Same soul,
asking for explanation
Same heart,
both filled with confusion
Same two hands and feet,
lost in wandering in the same monochrome direction
Same being, and we're both still waiting.

Here I write to everyone
whose faith is gone
for those who gave everything
and ended up embracing nothing
Remember that every burden you take
every wounds that you feel
every sorrows and heartbreaks
will all be concealed
Your body full of scars
are the only thing you hold onto
to prove that you are not far
from the dreams you look up to
Painful dealings
will slowly disappear
all the cries and tears
will fade away, my dear.

I lay down with my eyes wide open and heart shut
My mind playing all this tricks and my stomach knots
My throat is choking with all these unknown fears
I can taste the bitterness of my own tears
I breathe through my mouth 'cause it is the only way I know how
I can't hear anything else 'cause I just let myself drown

word that keeps me up at night
word that the voices screams inside
word that I can see through their eyes
word that they made me feel everytime.

"I can see my door, my bed, my window, my chair, and my table.
"I can feel my spine against the wall, my feet against the floor, my jaw tightly shut, and my fingernails buried in my arms.
"I can hear the wind coming in from the open window, my heartbeat rapidly thumping, and that familiar voice in my head, shouting once again.
"I can smell the dampness of the ground outside as the breeze carries it to my room, and the sickly sweet odor from the soap used on my hands.
"I can taste my blood spilling from the bite in my lip; my last harsh reminder that
I
am
still
alive.
