My favorite part of the day
Would be the lifeless stare
At the setting distant sun
As I pass another day older

Tears fall behind every drop
Of the rain I prayed to grief
Along the scars I trace within this shroud
Of a thing I used to be

In the dark I stray alone
With a match within my hand
To find the path I used to walk
Beside the shrouds I came to be

I cast the stone upon myself
And let it drum throughout my chest
I let the sound echo through my ears
Unto the heart I've known to fear

For a long time I tried
To hold on to these tears
All the while realizing
How each drop is a part of me
I could have saved

Dear and close to my heart
Are each memory I have of you
All undeniably good times
And they only get better and better
As time regrettably pass

I would not want to waste another day
Crying on the thought of us
Daydreaming maybe, just maybe
You would eventually find your way
Back to me, again

We could have been a beautiful story
Two platonic worlds colliding
But fantasies will always be
As disappointing as the life
I am struggling to live

There is an infinity between us
Stretching far beyond my reach
Yet to my heart, this too was close

Not in proximity can my longing
Be tamed but rather knowing
That your heart still holds mine

Left with only the still images
Of that one face that had loved
You the most since infinity

And when this love that knows
No infinity at all brought pain
Then in proximity shall I cease

Return to the infinity between
Back to infinity shall I reside
Knowing no proximity and all

Less than a minute, less than an hour
Less than a glance, but less is enough
To teach my heart to do just one lie
Just one and save itself from you

Ngayong lumipas na ang temang nakasanayan
Silip banayad sa kahapong dagliang dumaan
Pikit man ang mata, alaala naman ay pabulong
Hikahos sa hanging hindi naman tunay na yumao

Niyaring tinapos ang kasalukuyan sa halina't
Imahe ng kapayapaan sa kabilang daungan
Lingid sa ibabaw ng katinuan na ang bangka
Lumutang man ay di masasakyang tuluyan

Bigkas ay mga hikbi sa bawat pagsulong
Hanggat ang biyak ay hindi tuluyang magtagpo
Sa harap ng dahas at galit ng ilog sa pagitan
Paglubog ng liwanag ay syang di maiiwasan

Niyaring tinapos ang kasalukuyan sa halina,
Silip banayad sa kahapong dagliang dumaan
Sa harap ng dahas at galit ng ilog sa pagitan
Pagkalunod sa sariling luha'y syang di iiwasan

Why is it hard to find
A sanctuary for myself
But it's easy to be one
For somebody else

Curtains call, curtains fall
A bow ends up a play
Play where we stood tall
But ended up falling arrayed

Curtains call, curtains fall
A bow ends up a play
At last this long sought tale
Will come to an end

To the end without you
To the end with just me
To the end one last time

I wonder how will the world turn
If I could see everything in your eyes
I wonder how much difference would it make
When all is perfect and fine

If you could just realize how much I envy you
How can you say I'm so special?
You can be anything you want
I'm nothing compared to you

I knew I'm up to no good
But everytime I'm inside your arms
I could feel my heart alight my chest
That's something your love can do

I'll take a step reaching out to you
To make myself a better version of me
To make me that kind of special
Even being half as special as you

Look at my smile; I really adore you
I hope that you knew
That something special I told you
Was you, I love you.

Destitute ice where the soul should be
Replaced before the heart could ever speak
In each, melancholy bloomed infinitely
Words to paint the hymn of your eyes

Fruits of labor lie just across the steep
But when the last step to the fight oughts,
To deliver the expected, it would not
Maybe melancholy since then held you dear

Was thinking of newness frightened you?
With the endless possibility of disaster,
Aside from the chance of another great fall
Does newness finally caught up to you?

When fingers are pointed, you shrivelled
Maybe because of those destitute eyes
Confidently staring just across the steep
Pointing fingers at a reflection in the mirror

Take me to the end of the world
Let me stand at its edge
And feel the fear of falling
Return to my senses

Let me stare at the abyss
Like when I stare back into those eyes
Sunken as a pirate ship
Monochromatic and void

I'll ignore the failing voices in my head
As I stay valiant on the edge
With no intention of writhing
In silence again

I've always lived in constant misery
Though I didn't want it to be
This abyss is a disappointment in comparison
To the life I've lead

So, take me
Take me at its edge
I'm not gonna fall
This abyss is too shallow for me

Honey, you can smile now
Free your emotions running loose
As summer comes through
Picture the days
With better skies

Help yourself with the breeze
Brushing excitedly against--
Each crease along your skin
Remember how these sceneries
Would be the first of many

Leave everything on the bay
And watch the waves carry it away
Honey, worry not and hope
For everyday to be like
The summer we'll spend

Brace for brighter days
As we clear your clouded world
Savor the better days
Honey, worry not
You can smile now

This maybe a superstition
The life we are forced to take,
Like many of the things
We used to believe

Everyone refused to die
Unless it's an immaculate ascension
To our perceived
Culmination of all heavenly on earth

Millions and millions
Seconds they past
While we dance
Into the flames

Every night is longer
Much longer than before
Yet we laugh
And cry when we're through

It scares me enough
Realizing this much
The fools we are credited for
Was our consequence of
Being superstitious

I woke up drenched in fear
Numb and I couldn't stand

I stared at the ceiling
Stretched my arm but didn't felt warmth

My heart dazed, my mind blank
I searched something, maybe someone
I will never find again

"When did this bed got bigger?"

I woke up drenched in fear
Now I remember, it is when you left

"This bed surely is bigger now. I should be happy."

We always argue in our space in this bed
I pushed you to the side and let you sleep in the brink.

"How am I suppose to sleep with this tiny space?"

Each day you complain
A record that plays enveloping this bed

"Can you just let it slip away? Okay? Your voice is irritating."

You argued but I am stubborn
You insisted but I am immature

"Yeah, I should be happy now."

Now that the bed got bigger
And the corners are welcoming

You said you're tired
I thought you're just tired of work

But no, you aren't tired of work
You're tired of me--childish

"God, I should stop myself from crying."

I should be happy by now
Now that the bed just got bigger
And now that I won't have to hear that record anymore

"Can you just let it slip away? Okay? Your voice is irritating."

Gaze upon the midnight sky
For the moon above is free
For the blinding stars and peaceful winds
I bow these down to thee

We are one with the stars
In dust we form our history
Our paths may have diverged
Yet the scheme where we belong--
Kept the dust inside our body

We are one with the moons,
The comets that stretched out the sky
We are a whisper within a storm
A flicker on a candle
A tear under the rain

The dust will grow old and wither
Like the lives that succeeded the first
But the dust will meet its head
The dust will return to the scheme--
To the scheme where we all belong

Gone too far
Are the winds of hope
For a man with no light to see
Beneath his eyes

His threads are sewed
His time still runs
Yet his hands are still
Drawn to the winds

As the stars shone bright
And the moon rose quiet
The man grew old
Passed his dripping years

The planted seeds
He treasured for years
Took no time to heed
The plea of a wilting man

The winds of hope
Showed no mercy to the man
Until the man has meet
His marching band

Only then he was pleased
For a place to rest
To stop his time
Aboard the winds

Whenever I close my eyes
I try not to see your face
I try not to see your lips
I try not to read those sweet words escaping through your mouth

I try not to see the face I loved the most

Whenever I'm all alone
I try to drown the sound
I try to rest my chest
I try to tame my heart, running wild, unchained, and broken
I try not to hear the way you breath the air.

I try to ignore the hymn of you and me.

But whenever there is time
Just enough to catch a glimpse of the past
I can't help myself from seeing you and me linked and covered in the sheets
I can't help myself from seeing the way we used to be.

"The way we used to be together."

I am running out of words
I am running out of breath
Just like we're running out of time
Time to be together

Tie me a knot
A knot stronger than the wind
Tie me a knot--
A weapon I will wield

I'll carry it all day
Treasuring the knot you'll make
Walking a mile distance
From the draw out line I gave

Heave it strong and brave
Carefully making connections
Between the rope you made
And the rope I kept

Heave-- tie our ropes
The rope you used to save life
And the rope I used to end mine

The rain befall my shields again
Withdrawn the sheets below the pain
And in my eyes all there is rain
To which my heart I knew would fail

I curled myself and dozed to sleep
Closed my eyes never left a blink
To start again my fleeting dream
And see that smile I dearly miss

Where does the time played in our life?
I'm seventeen still young and brim
Whereas you're two older than me
And now I'm two older than you

I couldn't believe the way it snapped
Sheared in two, teared in apart
While crimson dye flowed in and cracked
Which marked the start of my demise

You should've been strong so you could tell
That you needed me like I needed you
Now I'm two years older than you
The way younger sisters don't naturally do

I did good, you did good
But I just wish
We could've done better

You said 'I loved you'
I smile
Never knowing
You said loved
Unfair
Cause I still do

Love is the mirror of the mind
For when you want to see yourself hurt
You choose someone you absolutely curse
Knowing anytime you can be bawling
Shouting at the top of your lungs
"I deserved to be miserable"

Love is the speaker of the soul
For when you want to be heard
You pour all the sound you can muster
And create something so loud
It makes a deafening sound of satisfaction
"I wanted to be heard!"

But most of all, love is a storm
Rage and angst swerving across a field
Of a once peaceful and bright place
You can only dream of returning
"Love is a storm" you said
Before drowning yourself for relief

The worst thing I think when I go home from work
Is that I need to lie again tomorrow
To push me out the bed
And get me brushing my teeth
I need to feel sorry again
For the time I spent awake
Thinking about my journey
A handful scenarios of defeat

All of these
Just to get me up the bus
To tell another lie
Just to be greeted with one
Almost decieving as the first
And when I thought things can't be worse
The truth hits me even harder
Realizing the effort I continue to make
Will go waste once I go back to bed

Distant are the days of my yearning
Of what things could have been
Now that you stand in front of me
Soon to accept my name as ours

We knew it all before even the stars
A premonition of a happy ending
Together forever with my other half
The X's to my O's, the tic to my toe

Have this heart learned
How much a name would hurt
Just enough to tug the threads
We would not come to be

Farther and farther
We could have not learned
The sad truth about ourselves
That you and I are utmost almost

We knowingly chose this path
The path of least resistance
And threaded this trapestry of mishaps
Just to have it all snapping back

Reality of us is worst at best
Yet we found all the reasons to ignore
The call and the trace of struggle
Between our decietful smiles

But certain things would not deny
Things will always be
You and I will regretfully bet
Almost will come to be
