BUILD

BUILD

HI!

The park is empty, my beer's already warm

And the shoppers have all gone home

Drunken and weary, I almost thought I forgot

About that someone who hit that spot

Love was a thing, you wanted to know

And so with one wish, I did give a show

Now that you're back, with a half-baked smile

Just skip the bull let's talk for a while

Hello! How have you been?

Who've you been seeing these past few weekends

I know it's not me. I know that it's you…

I'd love to be with.

When you want to be free, it's so funny

How you should hurt someone and that someone was me.

I'm just a man, not much with plans.

But I do believe in what I stand.

Love will tear us apart again.

Hello! Don't say goodbye. Just say hello.

ALAALA

Sa pagsapit ng dilim:

And buwan at mga bituin

Sa pagpukaw sa umaga:

Sinag ng araw ay kakaiba

Bakit nga ba ikaw ang nasa aking alaala?

Habang lahat ay nalunod na

Sa alak at sa katatawa

Binili na ang lahat ng luho

Upang utak ko'y mapalayo

KUNDI RIN LANG IKAW

Bakit mo pinaasa pa

Ang gusot kong ito?

Na ang buong akala

Ay mamahalin mo

Ngunit bakit ka biglang nagbago?

Sino pang makikinig sa awit ng pag-ibig

Na tanging handog ko sa iyo

O irog ng buhay ko

Kundi rin lang ikaw

Ayoko nang pumorma

Para ano pa ang mabigo muli?

Wala nang halaga ang buhay ko sa mundo.

Sayang ang mga panahon

Na aking ibinuhos

Sa babaeng tinatangi na nagpaasa

Na ako ay magwawagi

STUPID HEART

You had to make an excuse that's so incredible

I'm so gullible

You say that with a face that's so predictable

You're so lovable

As always--

You had to act as though it was an original, true, but unnatural

You smell like someone who's pure and clean it's so obvious

I'm so obvious, I think--

I'm better off without this

(pathetic,sorry / crazy, hazy) state I'm in

I don't deserve the misfortune of nurturing

This stupid heart!

You give me things that I don't need it's so tangible

So affordable

You write words that feel and heal it's emotional

Yet so fictional

I ponder--

You look cool in those clothes it's so conventional

But hysterical

Everything about you seems irregular

Illogical

I think--

L.Q.

Heto na muling mag-uumpisa

Away-away na wala namang kuwenta

(di makatingin ng diretso, di makaisip ng diretso)

Asaran hanggang mapikon

Nakasimangot buong maghapon

(di makatingin ng diretso, di makaisip ng diretso)

L.Q., L.Q., L.Q….

Sige pa ako'y inisin

Di naman kita papansinin

Bintangan, sumbungan, kampihan

Apektado pati mga kaibigan

Ba't di na lang natin pag-usapan

Matigil na tong sobrang kababawan

NEVER WAS

Have I licked my wounds so well

So that no one, can recognize the smell

My intentions frozen in time

And my words have gone out of rhyme out of time

You can never let be, what never was

You can never set free, what never was

(You can only see, watch it die)

Have I drowned my torch already

Or does it still burn alive and steady

Your voice still clear on my ears

It's the sound of my greatest fears

ALIKABOK

Nabulag sa salitang

Puno ng pag-asa

Pangakong hindi naman maitutupad

"Huwag pakinggan!!!"

Alikabok sa daan.

(Huwag kang padadala

sa pangako ng iba

di mo sila kilala

hadlang sa tunay na pag-asa)

Babala : huwag paniwalaan

Ang bagong siyensa

Adhikain nila ay mawala ka

"Mag-ingat ka!"

LALAWIGAN

Sama-sama lahat ng tropa'y masaya

Iba ang trip, walang hassle sa kalsada

Wala ngang cable TV marami naman ditong tubig

Ingay ng trapik, kapalit ay huni ng kuliglig

Sa lalawigan, ibang klase ang saya

Sa lalawigan, malayo sa problema

Sa lalawigan, (buksan na ang cervesa /

O pare! Nakailan ka na ba? /

O saan na kayo pupunta?)

Umpisahan na ang kuwento ng tropa

Tungkol sa lovelife ng isa't isa

At sa syota mong may boyfriend nang iba

Kawawa ka naman

Nandito naman tayo lahat magkasama

Lalangoy sa malinis na batis

Lalakbay sa palayan ni Mang Castor

At pag di nakatiis ay manliligaw ka

Ng dilag na maganda ang kutis

Isang babaeng taga-barrio

Ingat ka lang baka siya'y multo

BALIW

Huwag kang tumawag

At huwag na huwag na huwag kang lumapit

Baka ako'y muling mapaakit sa 'yo

Huwag kang ngumiti

At huwag na huwag na huwag kang magpakabait

Baka ako'y muling mapaibig sa iyo

Ako'y nababaliw

Ika'y nakakaaliw

Ako'y nababaliw

Huwag kang tumawa

At huwag na huwag na huwag kang umawit

Baka ako'y muling mapalapit sa iyo

Sana ika'y masungit

Asal ay napakapangit

Upang hindi ako

Mapaibig muli

BUILDINGS

Can I reject

All the plans you've laid down for my sake

Aren't you frightened

By the fact that you give more than you take

(Please obliterate)

I've seen the light within your eyes

I'm tantalized

How motherly is your intent

If I may not offend

I seek for pleasure when you seek for fulfillment

Will the coming days witness the time

When you would say

These buildings represent the dreams I built for you

These stretches frame the soul that's fragile but true

Forgive me if you may

These doubts were never because of your shortcomings

I just want to know did you pour out everthing

For the builders to build upon

And would it be fair that I voice out all of my fears

"The higher you build, the harder I may fall."

STUBBORN

I wanted it certain and I needed it fast

The whole day centered on a craving built to last

If my selfishness were to be heeded

I guess I just needed it, I need it

Where do we go now?

I feel the world would come to know this somehow

Relying on my impulse, it scares me to think

That I didn't move mountains by insisting on my worth

Invite me to your wedding, I know you'll be happy.

Will you be happy?

And will I persist on choosing to distract

The consciousness at hold?

Will I grow cold? Will I grow old?

Where will you go now?

I feel the world would come to know about this somehow

Coz somehow it seems I've built my dreams on weak soil

Unprepared to toil. Not prepared at all

I know I'll want again! Where will I go now? I feel…

I can be wrong again

BUKAS LILIGAYA DIN AKO

Lahat nang pinaghirapan nawala na parang bula

At ngayon ako'y naghihirap dahil walang-wala

(muntikan ka na ring magwala)

May bukas pa namang darating

(sa silangan may pag-asa)

At duon ako makakatikim ng saya

Pag ako'y sinuwerte babawi ng todo-todo

(pag nanalo ka sa lotto)

Bibili ako ng kotse at ng barko

(at iikot ka sa buong mundo)
