Bakit sa una'y halos sumakit na ang tiyan kakatawa
At maya't maya'y tumutulo na ang mga luha sa mukha?
Napapaiyak na lamang sa sulok
Unti-unting kinakain ng maitim na usok

Namamanhid na't halos di makilala ang sarili
Nais ko ulit bumalik sa panahong wala pa akong alam sa mga nangyayari
Ang mga ngiti ko noong kay tamis
Mga tawang walang halong lumbay at hapis.

Pilit kong kinakalimutan ang aking mapait na nakaraan
Ngunit bumabalik balik pa rin lahat ng ala-ala sa aking isipan.
Ang sabi nila'y tigilan ko na ang mamuhay sa nakaraan at iwasang magkaroon ng galit sa kapwa,
Paano maaalis ang galit sa aking puso
Kung ang dahilan nito ay ang taong nag-iwan ng masakit na marka sa aking pagkatao?

Sa tinagal tagal ng panahon, para bang naging bato ang aking puso
Bawat pintuan ay may kandado
Bawat bintana ay sarado
Ibang-iba na sa dating ako.
Years change people.

And beneath all the lies, is where I lie for laying down my truths beneath the gold of lies like a swarm of flies covering the bodies of the truth. Turning away all who would reach the glorious truth of me. Lies that grow to hide from what you see is a better side to me, the best that I can be, I have not two sides but three. One part shared 'tween you and me. This I tell you honestly.

And yet to be free like a diamond from the dirt wiped cleaned of all my hurts around my heart. My heart may be stone but I tell you I'm a beauty. Don't throw me away, polish me, and then you'll see. The crude form before you it craves to be seen. Unruly, barbaric, yet hidden, my gleam. Take me now gently, wash me down by the the stream,
Cut down the grime and look to my dream,
Cut through to my heart, all is not what it's seems.
A diamond I am yet I yearn to be fire, emblazoned by your light, you gave me my desire
The name can be read in English and Tagalog (Filipino)

Stone hearted people have their own feelings and desires too.
