I want to run away,
to detach myself from myself
Leave behind that ball of pain building in the depths
Inside this heart, inside of me –
            inside the love you never feel
            when you hold me or look at me
            or when your fingers ring the bell;
It’s time to say goodbye,
to detach myself from myself
from this solitary brokenness which I forever felt
But first, tell me how you begin
to live and smile again
Tell me
How do you escape and free yourself
from being clothed in pain?

Nangingibabaw ang amoy ng kape sa paligid,
Pati kamay ng orasan ay naririnig.

Mababawi pa ba ng katahimikan
Ang mga nasayang na sandali?
