There must be something wrong with me
There's definitely something that is defective in me
For I can't seem to be able to live in this world
that was supposed to be designed for me and my fins

Why is it that I can't seem to fully taste this air we breathe?
With such drastic changes and slow weathers,
It seems like the more I try, the more I get suffocated
In this world that grows just a centimeter smaller in each and every glance

People whose faces are blurred and smiling shadows
Norms of manic panic and reeking hypocrisy
I am pushed down and swallowed in by the darkness they named justice
Why is it that I feel strangled by every touch that these people give me?

Something is definitely not right with me
And I know, the world itself sees it
That's why it tries so hard to reject me, and it laughs just as hard at me
As I poorly try to hide my defects and blend in with the shadow-faced crowd

Sukdulan

Bukas,
Bibilihin ko ang mundo,
Babayaran ko ang Diyos
At patitigilin ang panahon
Ibubulsa ko ang araw
At patitigilin ang unos

Bakit sila? Bakit ako?
Sino ang makapagsasabi na may
mas hihigit pa sa pagmamahal ko?

Bukas,
Ako na ang nasa tabi mo
Patatawanin ko ang kagubatan
At gagawing kastilyo ang alapaap
Kukumutan ko ang mundo ng pag-ibig ko
At gigisingin ang umaga sa liwanag ng hinaharap

Bakit ikaw? Bakit ako?
Sino ang makapagsasabi na
mali ang nararamdaman ko?

Saan nga ba napupunta ang mga sobra?
Yung mga damdaming umaapaw na?
Ganun na lang ba? Masasayang na lang sila?
Kelan ba ako mapapagod? Kelan ako mauubusan?

Philomela

Kaskasin at paiyakin ang gitara
Hampasin at panggigilan ang balara
Sumigaw, Bumulong,
Na parang wala nang umaga
Itaas ang kamay, pumadyak, tumalon

Lumipad.

Wala na atang imposible sa mundong puno ng musika
Wala na atang mas maganda pa sa mundong binabalot ng awit at saya
Ngunit bakit ganoon?
Kahit ang buhay ko sa piling ng musika ay dapat kumpleto na,
Di ko pa rin maiwasang hanap-hanapin ka.

Ngayon 'di ko na maalala kung ano nga ba ang nauna,
Ang pag-ibig ba, o ang musika?

Fear

I guess, this is how real fear feels like
To want and hope for something I don't exactly understand
To be able to stand just inches away from you,
And not to be able to hold your hand
To be sitting right next to you, and still be missing you

I completely understand,
I have dug my own grave
I fear every little thing
that may pop this neat tiny bubble that I am in
Terrified by the fact that I am skating on such thin and fragile ice

Scared by the very thought that it can end with just a slight turn of your hand
Trembling in solidity each time I realize that I am forever to fall to the abyss
With just one thoughtless, most thoughtful word coming from your lips
I'm hanging on such a delicate thread,
Too afraid to wake up and too scared to know

Ang Gabing Kulay Pula

Nakaplano na
Ang mga bagay na sasabihin ko
Pag nagkita tayong dalawa

Alam ko na ang itsurang
Gagamitin ko sa susunod
Nating pagkikita

Sa panaginip ko,
Malayo na ang narating nating dalawa

Pero ganun pa din,
Gaya ng dati,
Kahit ilang beses ko pang
Iuntog sa pader ang aking sarili
 Di ko pa rin matutunan
Kung paano ang tumigil

Sa susunod na magkita tayo
Sigurado ako, hindi ko magagawang sabihin
Ni ha, Ni ho, galing sa aking plano
Balik sa walang katapusang pagpaplano,
Tapos maghihintay ako

Kung sabagay, yun lang naman ang
dalawang bagay na ginagawa ko,
Ang makuntento pag magkasama tayo,
At ang maghintay sa susunod na sandali
Na magkakasama tayo

Through my eyes

Hindi ito para sa'yo, para sa kaibigan ko 'to

Kaibigan ako,
Hindi man perpekto,
Kaibigan pa rin ako

Ano nga bang dapat gawin
Pag nasasaktan ang kaibigan mo sa harap mo?
Dapat nandyan ka lang sa tabi niya,
Pakikinggan siya, tutulungan siya, papasayahin siya

Dahil sa totoo lang,
Kahit na ganito lang ako,
Ayaw ko pa ding nakikitang nasasaktan ang kaibigan ko

Kaya,
Mas mabuting ako na lang ang nandito
Sa pagtitiis nama'y bihasa na rin ako
Dahil kaibigan niya ako

I lied

I lied
Just when I thought I wouldn't,
and couldn't lie anymore
Forgive me,
Its not intentional, believe me,
Its just because of this contraindicating thoughts and feelings
I feel each time I see you look at me

I really would like to stop now
You have no idea how much this torments me
Its like shredding every fiber of my being
How can you expect me to be fine the next day?
What am I to you really?

For once, I want the world to disappear
I'm done blaming anyone or anything,
I'm tired of looking for explanations for everything
I'm through with reasons and understanding

Choose me,
And I'll crumple the sky for your pocket to keep
Pick me,
And I'll watch you in your sleep
Love me,
With nothing in exchange, without reason, without doubt
I have nothing for you to give
Nothing at all,
not even a used up old button, or a cent, or rotten shoelace
Nothing but me,
This is all I can give you

But still, I still want you to pick me,
Just close your eyes and choose me,
I really, really want you to love me,
Just because
