Alas dos na ng umaga,
Ako'y gising na gising pa,
Nag-iisip ng mga bagay,
Mga bagay na bumuo sa'king buhay.

Nasagi sa isipan ko yung mga alaala,
lahat, malungkot man o masaya,
Nag mistulang halo-halo na.
Kay rami ng sahog, yung iba di mo na kakainin pa.

Sa dami ba naman ng akyat baba at atras abante ng buhay ko,
Malamang nagkandaleche-leche 'to,
Alangan naman lahat naka super glue?
Ano yan? para di na matanggal kahit na bumagyo?

Anu-ano nga bang nangyari nitong mga nakaraang bwan?
Bakit parang nawala ako sa aking isipan,
Ano nga ba talaga ang tunay na dahilan?
Nitong isang aksidenteng aking kinasangkutan.

Isang sahog ang di ko kinaya,
Sa halo-halong aking kaharap sa mesa,
Salitang sa ibang dayalekto nagmula,
Nagsimula sa 'g' at nagtapos sa 'a'.

Limang letra, isang salita,
"gugma", ang isa sa sahog na aking nakita,
"gugma", ang may pinakakomplikadong lasa,
"gugma", minsay kay tamis, minsay kay pakla, minsay mapait pa.

Halo halo ko'y puno nito,
Mistulang lahat ng alaala koy tungkol dito,
"gugma", paksa ng aking bakasyon,
"gugma", isyu ng buhay ko hanggang ngayon.

Hay nalang, iisa palang perwisyo na,
Ano nalang kaya pag marami pa?
Ano yan? "gugma na sobra sa isa"?
Ayayay, naging salawahan pa...

Ang halo halong iisa ang sahog ngunit halo halo parin,
Sa dami ba naman ng iisang sahog di mo aakalain,
Mistulang iba't iba, ngunit sa katunayan, iisa,
"Gugma", sahog na dadaya sa iyong mga mata.

Caught you in your little affair
Eventually this had to happen
I gave away the things you’ve given to me
I’m tryin’- tryin’ to forget you
Not so hard to get you out of my mind
You came to see me one last time
Yet I almost forgot who you already
**** you keep comin' back to torment me

Take off your halo
It don't even glow
no more, i tell you woman
you brought me to an all time low
Take off your halo
don't you know
I'm done with you woman
You've lost that glow

When you changed sides
I knew the sheets has been broken into
Doesn't smell of me at all
And you're trying to give me that
I'm not so innocent look
I'm tryin' tryin' to forget you
Unraveled everything you planned to hide
The planned lies you wrote in your mind
Expected me to be a tool
I felt it was time to find
Someone else new and move on
It was time to forget but I cannot.

I'm tryin'-tryin' to forget you
Take off your halo
I'm tryin'-Tryin' to forget you
It don't shine no more
I'm tryin' trying to forget you
Take off your Halo
I'm tryin' tryin' to forget you
It don't shine no more...

In my own house, smells like you
On the couch, reminds me of you
The spot where we made love, ay
I’m tryin’ – tryin’ to forget you
The memories of you lingers on the edge
In my mind, I once dreamed of us
There’s no end to this pain
Can't you just go away

Take off your Halo
It don't even glow
No more, I tell you woman
You brought me to all time low
Take off your Halo
Don't you know
I'm done with you woman
You've lost that glow

This hardship has to end
The suffering I go through
take off, let me be alone
All this ******* aside with you,
I’m tryin’-tryin’ to forget you
Our last time together wasn't wonderful
But why did you let this come to this end
You had to play me like a fool

I'm tryin' tryin' to forget you..
Take off your halo
I'm tryin'-Tryin' to forget you
It don't shine no more
Take off your Halo
I'm tryin' tryin' to forget you
It don't shine no more...

*****.. I know your Halo.. It don't shine no more...

Golden halo, crown of gold- rings as you call,
Golden halo, heart so bold- yes and yes to all-
yet all the time that falls off the leaves after rain,
dry up too soon in the mid-morning sun’s heat

Golden halo, not of gold- just as ever blinding,
Golden halo, made of light- slowly ever fading-
the sky is clear, buts its clouds uncertain to cry,
Sit and wait, sit and wait and talk- golden halo

I hear your whispers, golden halo- loud and soft
echoing from the fleets of galleon clouds
and crashing nimbus waves
blaring through soft torrents of gale and gusts,
dodging the lighthouse of heavenly fire

I hear your secrets, golden halo- safe and sound
safe in me, golden halo, deep in locked chains
safe in me, high above the clouds,
the key, broken- its pieces, heavens apart
the lock molten shut

golden halo, golden light
golden secret, lips sealed tight
