leave the paintings
leave the photos
leave the vinyl albums
...that was a pointless hobby...
leave the love
leave the tooth
leave the journals
...you can read whatever you'd like now...
leave the cats
leave the ***
leave the blood stains
...on the bathroom floor...
grab only the good books
whatevers left of the gin
grab the coffee maker
put your shoes on
i'm ******' outta here

Listen to me, oh bright shiny star
The one in the sky so far
Why is it so hard to reach you?
You just made me sad and blue

Why are you always there?
Each time, I fall into despair
Are you mocking me, my bright shiny star?
Knowing that I can’t be where you are?

Even if you will disappear in time
Even if you’re way past your prime
Even if it leaves me a deep scar
I would still be here, my bright shiny star
I'll still be here, my dearest star. Though I can't be there, I will still be here...

I'm very sorry
I must have
Read the dictionary wrong

You see,
I was under the impression that

Forever meant
For the rest of time
Never ending
The rest of my life and beyond

Truth meant
Not lying
Meaning what you say
Being straight with me

Sorry meant
You feel bad
An apology
That you didn't mean it

So I apologize
For the miscommunication
I must have been
Reading the dictionary wrong

Tulad ng kinimuyos na papel
Sinta, kaya kitang isantabi
sa mga botelya ng alaala ng hikbi
Isasalampak sa isang sulok
Pabubulukin sa tagal ng panahon

Tulad ng maruming basahan
Puso, kaya kitang itapon
Sa'king labahan ng paglimot
Doon kita'y ikukula sa mga buntong hininga
Patutuyuin hanggang muling mapakinabangan

Marahil ito na nga ay pagtanggap
Na tulad ng maraming bagay na napaglumaan
Kaya kitang limutin at talikuran
Sa lupa, doon ang pinaglibingan
Ng ikaw at ako na walang patutunguan.

The Issue
tell all the seabirds and ravens to switch
this world is shattered tipped and kicked
into positions where trees and cars fit
a child sees they are lying
that dosen't fit.
square in a circle?
  when words arrive
truth leaves
leafes to the ground
then they stay
year for year
like lovers refresh
on every second 14th
lions get white
like a young mens eyes
when he sees her true
beauty in disguise
flowers get black
and hate gets blue
love is a lie
and rules the clue?
