year 1



a year's worth of memories squeezed to a quarter.
may we make more of 'em.
we will make more of 'em.

deep reality?

i don't know what it's like
to be with you tonight
cause we're never together
that far, wish you'd feel as i do
cause i'm falling into you
you bridge my yesterday and tomorrow

look at me now
the deeper way
try to find the feeling
i've been hiding for a thousand days
catch the real thought
of all my words
and try to realize
that you are becoming my world

you know the real me
the only one who can see
inside my heart
oh my friend, you've been the meaning of me
but nobody can see
i'd like to say, i'd like you to stay


2004.12.31_P09-04_deep reality

death through tongue of absence

asking what's the purpose of your life
through mine
your glory's still roaming above me
unsocial

your presence, you callously left
so dreary
i can't make a single step
with your memory

aah
sail back here

asking what's the purpose of your destiny
and mine
and why do i grieve for your existence
and why do you laugh at your absence?

are you real?
you carried me for once
then left me half a chance
to get up on my feet
and live with unpleasant dreams
you ruined me
you're a sky of lies
you're noone but a belief
of nothing! you're poison!

you're never coming back
forever

..and wait for nature do its work.

bababa? bababa.

wanna hear something stupid? here it goes..

so i took the lucena bus from alabang south station, right? i don't know, probably about what, 4:50 in the morning? and it took off, let's just say 5. and i was so tired i fell asleep immediately. and so..the bus conductor had to wake me up to give a ticket. i know i was sleeping with my mouth open coz it was so dry i could barely tell him where i was getting off. he heard me the third time. and i slept right after i got the ticket. so..he had to wake me up again to pay the ticket. same thing happened. mouth dry. after that, i finally could rest. and i did. but not after this. here it goes.

i was in a very deep sleep and i know i was dreaming. and from the back of my head i heard "lucena! lucena! lucena!". it was the conductor. i woke up immediately after the last call. peeked briefly out the curtain and saw residential area. street wet from the rain. sari-sari store right in front. oh shit. i'm here. i have to get off. right then and there, i stood up and quickly walked towards the front of the bus, still a little dizzy, dreams still echoing from my brain.

conductor: bababa?
me: bababa.

so. i. got. off.

right after the bus drove on, i knew something's not right. i knew i got off early. but i was kinda hoping not too early. and guess what? yea. i was too fucking early. we've only been driving for less than an hour. fuck.

look where i was.

fuck.

eden

it all breaks down at one point as the law of averages takes over. the ups and downs somehow lose its form and gets lopsided. sometimes favoring the ups, but more often the other way around. reality has its special way of reminding you how badly you turned out to be. decades of hunger for success and multiple short instances of almost feeling it. the distraction of hobbies and relationships and good times with now lost friends seem to be too shorthanded. at the core of it all, you ask yourself what the fuck happened. and you dig deeper questions of talents and skills and capabilities and the lack thereof. and the deeper you get, the more evident reality becomes. the ever surfacing self-worth assessment. the fast stacking adulthood responsibilities. the sheer determination of peer pressure. and all you can do is escape through vices -- the drugs, sex, and rock&roll, whatever floats your boat. and that word alone, escape, leads you to a whole different reality. succumbing yourself to synthetic environment. seeing only bits and pieces of what really is out there. and you slowly die inside until there's nothing left worth saving. i now understand why people, wherever they're coming from, hang themselves. and i'm always reminded of that one line from that one film.

“Because when I was young and I'd get an A on a history test.. or whatever.. I'd get this good feeling about all the things that I could be. And then I never became any of them."

school fair

you seem dying

before this december ends
i (hope / wish) to see you again
just to breathe you in
with this lonely heart of mine

your lips carry the poison
the only one that can kill me
it looks so red-tasty
it looks so blood-thirsty

and to you, this song i sing
but the melody seems dying
i won't let it a happen
i won't leave you broken

how can i pretend
that you're not someone special
if you're so stellar
which my wishes could come true

now with this blessed air
i hope tears won't wash away
these drowning memories
that you never cared about

and now december ends
when will i see you again?
when could i breathe you in?
with this lonely heart of mine

this winter makes me shiver
it's so cold without you

2011.12.25_11-16

this scene is exactly like
the dream i had last night
with your eyes of fire
starin' back at mine
please don't wake me up

don't speak so much of us
i might gain your trust
when it's so unlikely to
see just us two
please do not wake up

just please don't
just please don't

well this isn't makeshift
(i guess) i can tell
if you'd just spill it out
i promise i won't be scared

love, it might not be the word
or maybe it is, it just sound absurd
but what the hell

just don't dream so much
it might lead you somewhere else
for it doesn't get more real
this is what i'm supposed to feel
let us not wake up

8 and eighteen

another sunrise with a darkness in my eyes
wish you would come back and wish you would hold me tight
it's been eight months and eighteen days since you're away
and now the season is calling for a holiday

(so) open up your eyes
please never say goodbye
and even if your heart's away
i'm beggin' you to come back for just one day

another sunny day, but clouds're wrapping up my mind
i found myself lyin', cryin' out last night
i wish you were back here, so you could watch me die
and then you'll realize, you illuminate my sky

sometimes we forget everything we left behind
maybe it's only you, left in your mind

please open up your mind
please don't wave goodbye
and even if your heart's away
i'm begging you to come back and..

hymns of forever confusions

i see faces
of my yesterday
when i was with you
so tragic
so vulnerably sick

i was injured
by the scene
when you left
so painful
so out of control

damaged, weary
emotionally tormented
by the
synthetic feelings
from you

no more goodbyes ahead
all pain, left in me
the sunshine of tomorrow
will never shine on me
now i'm on my kness
surprised by your shadows
in my dreams
sacred voices
shallow hymns

i feel destructed by the reality
perceived of your absence
so lucid
so obviously hid

unequally destroyed
selfishly killed
nothing
in my memory's fine
i'm so out of the line
without you here tonight

2010.12.22_10-15

listen to the three autumn shades
just so you would understand
how it feels to be me these days
and the other nine thousand

leaves of (amber / ember)
made sure it isn't (winter / december)
well, i've been here, i remember
well, this ain't a dream, this is forever

yes, i have friends to talk to
and few other people
but still it spirals down to
i'm still miserable

my sun is never around
couldn't be found by any sound
and this world that i sing to
made me underground bound
sent me long way down..down..gone

the autumn shade are just in time
this one's next in line
i am next in line

bus scene

bus onboard television tuned in to sunday noontime show with the audience going berserk over dancing tv stars.

thought: why was i never interested in this?

her

witness of the past
now balled up in someone's trash

the pretender. the hungover.
the free. the contented.
the end.

what scares you these days?

12:16

moments, still hanging by
time, still passing by
but you are just too lazy
about our love story

you brought, smile to my face
when you gave me
the handkerchief you wore
back when we're on the swimming pool

everything you do
it all matters to me

holding on to you
is like walking on tacks with no shoe
grabbing on to you
same old shit
i always go through
when i'm with you
i always end up with nothing

we met, last semestral break
we should be talking, i can't wait
and then to nowhere i went
because of that car accident

from the small town you are living
i heard you're moving
to another place i don't know
i don't want you to go

i miss you, now we're growing
i miss you, now i'm wearing
the perfume gas you wore
back when we're in highschool

i guess this is the end
of my fucking love song
now it's time for me
to move on


2004.03.20_A04-05_12:16

my chastity

gave you almost my whole life
half of me is with you now
take by your heart  in flames
thought of letting go somehow

tears along my shattered dreams
you decided to leave everything
now i forgot how to forgive
for i don't know if tomorrow, i'll still live

now is it over?
i know you're glad
for everything you have now
is this over
yes over
over for me

you know you're all that i have
gave you all that i have
you took all that i have
you took all that i have

i have to move on to my next page
though your memory still haunts me
it's so hard to face a single day
without your presence killing me

2005.12.15_46

defying the light of the sun
your stars are blinding me black
those hopes are now despairs
myself..out..locked!

more alibis
more lies
more tears
no light!

a heart so transparent
yet so unpredictable
a tongue so silent
yet so dangerous
yet so uncontrollable!
yet so poisonous!

leaves of autumn tries to cling
last drop of sanity pours
i see them laugh but hear nothing
(you) my cross..my blood..my death!

red and black (!)
crawling under (me!)
blood and death (!)
walking after (me!)
(repeat)

you're all that's left
now lost
now i'm lost
so afraid
i still wait!


2005.12.15_46

fade

should i let you know that you resemble a past
should i let you know that i am dying at last
you got me all mixed up
now your smile is all i've got
to get me to ask you
if you can save me
so i can try to save you

wear your own glasses
and look at the pieces of what you still have
isn't it great that everytime you breathe
you're saving someone's ass

just by staring, your smile is worth my life
just by staring back, tells me those cards are always right
what if my everything's intended to end up with you
would you rather slit your wrist again or accept the truth?

should i let you know that now i'm more like dead
should i let you know that if i wasn't interrupted
that strangest night
i'd be pushin my way through
to get me to ask you
if you can stay with me
so i can try to save you

wear your glasses
and look at the pieces of what you save, you don't even know you are saving
you don't even know who you're saving
you don't even know i need to e saved, fade..
fade..fade..fade..
please..

you looked into me
for a single moment, you're under me
walked behind you
then there's nothing left
nothing left

killing every part
you've been the doubt of my heart
chasing you
with another
another

hit me
the exact
magnitude
as my
love

i'd rather die behind our wall
than take my fall
with someone else
i'll never find another wheel
to turn and steer
than your own

never will it matter
these riots in my head
never will it matter
these ruins inside me

i missed

i thought i got you this time
you're mine
so wrong, so wrong
i thought once again you'll be here
after
so long, so long

now
tears are here
drowning me
my breath'll soon be gone
wishin'
you'd help me
be here
and be mine all the time

if i could turn back
the hands of time
i'll never hide this feeling
that's been creepin' inside me
for so long
i can't keep this so long
if you won't be here
now, now

i thought i got you in my hands
my heart bends
so badly, so badly
i thought your face is so clear
so real
it's a lie, i'm a lie

oh, help me please
seems like you're thousand miles
thousand miles away

i can hear your footsteps
getting away and away
please don't leave me behind
for the (first / last) time
let me feel you're min

we've been here before
and i felt this a million times
please forgive me
for now's the last and only time left

we've been here before
and i'll never be here no more!

your smile
took me away
now there's a change
i'll take it away

my heart's
confusing my mind
everytime
i get lost without you

dreamin' of a better tomorrow
as fire lights up my mind
this heart is so converted
to something, someone else
and i fear my own words
if you're here, i might
scream to death
as you watch me drift away

those miles
oceans so deep
kept you away
it's so better
so better

dreamin' of a better tomorrow
without you
without you

as i wake up

sacrifice yours
give it up, give it
don't take anything
no one is giving

something to pay for
yourself, upon it
you may find
you may find no one

suffer
a love to die for
suffer
uncontrollable
suffer
a love to die for
suffer
suffer

open your heart-shaped mind
bring it close to you
and tempt your tounge into
something bitter than before

ignorant eyes so tamed
lips waiting in vain
resurrection of my dead heart
suffering

so in these last days of me
before forever darkness bites
hopin you're the last that i see
you, my only aperture of light

forever in this side is not real
i never believed in it anyway
but at this moment, still..
i'm wishing you'd be with me all the way

there won't be no more Summer
no more Autumn
there won't be no more..nomor..

i've never sold myself this short
this is where everything goesto waste
this is the hardest so far
this is me in pitch black haze

i give up
i'm sorry
i quit
as always

i thought no one could say how's these gonna end..
well, i guess i can..
watch.

t-gun

i can't define
what i feel for you
walk away, walk away
walk away from me

i heard you scream
while you watch me die
take me, take me
take me, away

you're begging me to come to you
but when i do, you pull away
i'll break your neck, you little bitch
i'm tired of all the games you play

i wish you're me
so that you will feel
what i feel
what i feel
from what you did to me

if you want me
if you need me
just come to me
and i will throw you away
if you want me
if you need me
just come to me

this silence
you've seen all there is
to be seen
not my fault
not mine

these dark eyes
you looked at me like
you don't care
not at all
not at all

someone
somebody
some people
around you
around me'ts
you

yeah
i'm getting deep into you
i'm pushing my way through
stop ignoring
can't help myself from falling
into your hole

this sick heart
wanted everything
from you
your fault
yours

running deep
fast so fast
into you

this couldn't be
again
you are trying to
pretend
playing somebody in front of me
can't deal with your insanity

this couldn't be
again
it's ok but in
the end
you will look forward to me
looking for security

(but / and) you ignore me
yes, you ignore me
erasing the thoughts in my head
yes, you erased all the thoughts in my head

how could you do this to me
you are killing my memory
you are my amnesia
yes, you're my amnesia
forgetting everything
can't remember anything
you are my amnesia
yes, you're my amnesia

i am tired of this
deceit
crying in this pile
of shit
screaming out the sadness that i faced
controlling my mind not to erase

i can see
your face
looked at you a million ways
i can hear you loud and clear
but for a second it disappeared

who are you?
where are we?
who am i?
answer me!

stealing the stars and the moonlight
to flicker your face with the night
coz today, the sunlight is burnin' us white
the trace of your lips makes me weak inside
and these last nights, i've been dreaming only for you..

been dreamin' only for you..
my nights are only for you..
and the smiles in your eyes
bring me a vice of this heroic tragedienne in you..

such an infinite grace
to wake up with your face beside mine
it's the sweetest tragedy
to fall with you to destiny..
to fall with you from cloud nine..

getting away with the crime
of completing my puzzle by yours
if you would just let me in your door
i'm so tired of this, but i still want more
and these past nights, i've been dreamin' only for you..

..ten..eleven..

when angels break their wings
they are bound to hell
to avert the damnation for their sins
to snare the deed of evil

and when the devil's horns're impaled through their hearts
they become the ravens, hogs, swindlers..
greed grows as if there's no tomorrow
as if there is..coz there's none.
their days will be blacker than their hairs!

embittered with curses they now hold
they ruin even their siblings
taking chances just not to fall
what's there for them to fall upon? none!

evil fill their self-centered minds with concussions of greed for their own deaths!

now the signs are all visible
you are the only one left missing
your window's so opaque
even your silhouette's hidden
my knees are already bleeding
so as my insides!

now your everything has come to dust
and your peace of mind is now a must
but i can't just believe you still
feel the way you feel

now your scars are all visible
you are the only one that couldn't see
though your heart is healing
i can feel you're so empty
face the fact, face the reality
face your mirror, face me!

don't get so astonished
when you see your tears on my eyes
i guess that's your reflection
(this silence makes things harder)
(your presence is getting further)

spend the money. sip that coffee. go get that planner. write your most intimate secrets. forget about it one night. have someone else read it. and ruin that person's life. then thank starbucks.
