We are fragile, little things.
Chipped china teacups
In the hands of careless kings.
Caught in the fall,
Cherry blossom dreams,
The sighs of autumn
Keep us aloft on weathered wings.
Tethered to the will of winds
The water shouts and sings.
Overflowing that fragile teacup,
Scalding the hands of world worn kings

Finally,
I'm comin' around

I've been gone a
long long
time

I'm coming around

I'm kicking back in

My eyes beginning
to
see again.

The
faded
hated
self
I've been -
the haze
of fog
without
within

The rolling
of
sleep,
sleep
never
really
very deep

But
I'm comin' around
I'm coming around

The girls
they
look
so good
again

It's been a month
of Sunday's
since I felt the power surge

Ready to
put
my party boots
on,
head to town
see
what
maybe can
be found

I'm comin' around

All those issues
are
dead and gone
I know, I know
there's
always
another
box of tissues

But
that's okay
I'm back to seeing the world
seeing it
some way
sometimes
even
my way

I'm comin' around
I'm coming around.
Once you were so sweet
you had a gorgeous smile
once you played guitar
I stayed there for a while

heaven opened up
you owned the place
slipping away so slowly
now its hell I taste

The memories of all that we shared
can't be forgotten, can't be compared
will I recover, oh I'm so scared
my heart full of rain and
your the one to blame

Oh, you never tried
the more that I knew, the more I died
do you have no shame
just shatter my pride
and your the one to blame

am I a fool, waiting around for you?
when I know its something you'd never do.
you pushed my love aside, that's something I cant abide
And your honestly the one to blame...

Scribbling away on my walls,
have I gone insane locked up in doors?
your the one to blame

why did you hurt me so?
you always had to be in control
never letting me In, just letting yourself win.
what did I do, why can't you love me
am I invisible, cant you see?

Oh, you never tried
more that I knew, the more I died
I got a reason now to bury you alive
What do you think about that?

I don't think ill be OK
I can't believe, you could treat me this way
I do believe, you didn't try to stay

I don't think ill be all right
AND YOUR THE ONE TO BLAME.
Another old one of  mine iv just rediscovered.

Kapayapaan...

Isang salitang hindi maikakaila.
Na may sampung titik na mailap makuha.
Isang salitang nais na ibandila,
Pinapangarap ng ating buong madla.

Kapayapaan...
Isang salitang may sampung letra...


                                                  Pag-­asa...

Anim na letra lang pero sadyang matalinhaga.
Nagbibigay sigla sa puso ng nasasakdal at nag-iisa.
Nagiging liwanag sa dilim ng isang nagdurusa,
Ngunit mailap makamtan sa mundong marami ay napapariwara.

Pag-asa...
Isang salitang may anim na letra...


Pag-ibig...

Kaliwa't kanan ang krimen at kaguluhan.
Nasaan ang pagmamahal sa pagkakawatak-watak at iringan?
Ang puso ng iba'y balot na balot na nang kasamaan.
Maibabalik pa ba ang pag-ibig sa tinubuang lupa?

Pag-ibig...
Ikaw ay nasaan?


                                         Kapayapaan ang gusto ko.
Pag-asa ang nais ko.
                                         Pag-ibig ang tanging tanglaw ko...
