When the skies are a blanket of violet
Stars they whisper for tides to calm
Then, in the silence should I realize
It has grown to be the way I am living

It's only so far a smile can take the crowd,
In days far from the sunrise in the east
Those eyes will undoubtedly catch me
Crying a river, knee-deep in your nostalgia

For you I will give an exemption
To find another purpose in life
So the things you treasured here
May grow and spring reminiscently

On the wake of the morning sun
I will embrace the warmth within
Looking up and clutching the skies
As I imagined you would, every single day

Since living alone I finally realized
The night, it's long and unforgiving
And having someone to look forward to--
The night eventually lost its facade of a beauty

Living purposely brought me to realize
I had it wrong and you were right
The sun I saw when I was in my lowest
Was brighter on the other side

So whenever I feel fleeting away
Somewhere, some place, some how
Your voice remains the only hope
To steadily anchor me to my feet

As though life was not once cruel to me
Hear me sing a song of love to you
Because I know none of what I've done--
In your eyes, none of them was in vain

On the day of my last breath, I will smile
And in the other side I'll finally see you
Smiling, as I imagined you would
"The sun really is brighter on this side"

Well versed crowd dancing around us
Still, I have your hands with mine
Enter the night, we'll still be together
Terribly drunk so caught in ecstasy

Gather your things and feel the lights
On the way to the crowd, let's be lost
Then find each other's heartbeats
As they slowly synchronize

Hear it real close from the source
Just how your man can only imagine
Accidents? They naturally happen
Tonight might just be the one you need

The room will past every ticking second
But it's still you and me drunk terribly
And even if it meant time is wasted
It was still time well wasted with you

Won't let our plastic cups be empty
Accidents? Surely they could happen
The room it passed every ticking second
And it's still you and me drunk terribly

I regret that I'm still here
Facing the last trip of train,
Bound for one last beer
Repeat for tomorrow again

To think some few years ago
I was once a proud plethora
A kid with ambitions to show
Wits to which I'm not a goner

Wasted days of my youth
Earning a way to discredit
My parents' sense of repute
All the while dying underneath

Moments after the expected
Here I saw myself standing
On a glass panel window I wept
Wishing to be just good at lying

'My life is ******* brilliant' I said
Counting the cigars I had left
Smoking another 'one last' dread
Before the 12 AM train depart

It's hardly an effort for your ghastly soul
Leaving me sheltered on this prickled rain
Maybe for the reason that you imagined
It all happening in your head, ever since

Brewing in each step you took looking afar
A heavy storm circling on my chest
Joyful on the assumptions of being subpar
Calamity at worst, first among the firsts

I still, however, imagine how we slow-danced
Hopelessly against the wave of hands
Pushing us far from the reach of each other
Many chances taken but none won over

So it is hardly an effort for me not to cry
Falling over an unmistakable silver lining
You had me at the very least of efforts
Left me with the very least of trying

Remember to water down the rainbows
The ones I grew on our backyard
Never fail to realize each color I arranged
Were the days we watched every sunsets

Worry not, I will tuck my shirt properly
White and crisp like how you told me
Pristine as silver, I will bear my clothes
As I edge closer and closer to being free

Smile as I pander to the life I'm leaving
Afterimages of warm hugs in the winter
Crossing against the torrent of tears
I have known to be cold but serene

To lie away with a bed of thorned roses
As the youth I sought to savour
Gradually fade unto the hug of you
On my first breath upon this world

To leave this earth ever so early
Sure is much peaceful than how I hoped
Seeing the rainbows we grew on our yard
Will soon be arching to your embrace

Must be nice
Must be good
For the world
Not to fall apart
When I feel
Happy
For once
