She's smiling
Someone made her eyes glow
I've tried, I guess I can't be that reason

Mine is gone
She's my reason
Yet  I can't smile for them

Are the words I used right?
I think there are better things to write
It's making me think all night
Leaving it blank, I really might?

Huy gago,
Matuto kang makuntento
Tingin lang muna mula sa malayo
Wag munang simulan ang katapusan ng kwento

Pigilin ang damdamin
Apoy ay ihapan't patayin
Ulo ay palamigin
Sarili muna'y ayusin

Habang ang puso'y wala pang lakas,
Habang di pa buo ang kalooban't di pa sayo patas
Ako muna ay aatras...
AATRAS! pero di tatakas

Geniuses gathered in front of the old
For the seconds to be created and mold
Einstein's, Newton's story to be again foretold

The system to remove individuality
The simple truth and reality
It's for the "sake" of the "community"

Bilang na ang ating mga sandali
Kailangang magmadali
Tamang tiyempo, ngayon na ay mali
Wakas na di gusto, ang tadhana na ang pumili

Paubos na ang oras
Paubos na ang aking lakas
Ang paalam ay palapit na ng napakapaspas
Sasabak na sa laban na ni minsan di naging patas

Should it be really this selfless?
I doubt and feel helpless

Am I being selfish,
By wanting someone I can cherish?

To make her smile for me
May forever be a cannot be

A feeling too heavy
An ending of this inevitability

Isa, dalawa, tatlo
Pano nga ba magbabago?

Apat lima anim pito
Kung ang ayaw mo'y ang parte na ako

Walo siyam sampo
"Di bibitaw" ang sigaw ng puso

Can you really understand,
What is known as grand ?

All expectations in hand,
Can it be withstand ?

To remember everything
Is not necessarily the good thing

To create a masterpiece
You can't be at ease

Potential can be wasted
Every geniuses are tested

Failures that are just misunderstood
Are things geniuses call good

Look at me eye to eye
Please tell me it's a lie
I ask you the question why
Is it really a good bye?

Things that remain unproven
Something absurd makes it even
Over ten you can get eleven
Many things can simply happen

The place you know as heaven
Can even be the devil's den
Things that don't "exist"
Are real existence you need to insist

I've kept it to myself day by day
Something that I can't ever say
All I can do and will ever do is stay

A replacement
An ornament
Something essential
But artificial

I'm incapable
So am replaceable
I'm necessary
But sometimes temporary

It keeps breaking
Pieces gets lost

I try to fix it
Yet it keeps shrinking

It won't go back in size
It simply became a hallow husk

My heart seems to slowly fade
Now a simple ornament

A beauty that can't be hidden
Not in the garden of Eden
Not in the devil's den
This simple maiden

Within the crowd
Silent not loud
Listening
Seeing
Not caring
Only observing
That is an observer

She fills the world with insanity
A simple beauty and certain calamity
This faith and destiny
Is her simple identity

Those great lines you think
Can be gone in a blink
Let that thought sink

Masterpieces created
Can get neglected
Poets and artist can remain untitled

Magpapadala na lang ako,
Ngingiti, tatawa, at magsasaya
Alam na hangang dun lang ang tayo
Isang sandali, na siguro di naman na aksaya

Something that you tried to keep
But got buried in the deep

Something you have lost
To get what mattered the most

A meeting for confirmation
No need for words nor any action
Please give an affirmation
To this yes or no question

H e's tired
A nother day passes by
D ictating the cannot be's
E nding each day in tears
N o one ever noticed
O ver and over again
U nderstanding nothing
G etting nowhere
H elping himself a final time

If only there is something i can do
Something that spells I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U
But everything after that became a no-can-do
I just wish it's possible to do an undo
