I'm Not A Murderer




I.
I woke up in the middle of the night
A scream shivered down my spine
I heard a cry from afar, then
I saw a ray of sunshine
I wished it would last forever
And a murderer would turn into a lover



 
 
 
 













II.
In the cage of loneliness and
An overcrowded emptiness
I see them with no hope in hell
Of escaping from the dark age
I'll never make them stay in pain forever
'Coz I'm not  a murderer, I'm a lover













Chorus
It's not new not everyone caresMy people this isn't a maze

Aren't they so easy to save
From living in the cruellest way












III.
How I wish it didn't come to pass
And the trade had finally come at last
What of that if there's a few of us?
We're stronger than we have thought we are
I'll never make them stay in pain forever
'Coz I'm not a murderer, I'm a lover








(I thought I would include images of real animals suffering from laboratory tests, victims of taxidermy, illegally traded animals, and more - because to them I especially dedicate this song. But I regularly visit my blogger and I can't grapple with the sorrow those pictures bring to me. )

The Heart that Never Becomes Old


I.
Walking in the rain with you
I’m not looking for something new
As long as I am with you
Until my life is through
 

Refrain
‘Coz you are the first to touch my heart
The first one who brightens my darkest nights
Who kisses my forehead night by night
I don’t wanna die
‘Coz you are the first, the first I love
I love  you, I love you with all my heart
You are my everything
My everything, my everything

 
II.
Life must go on and on and on
Though it’s hard we’ll try to make it last
We’re not getting younger anymore
It’s the heart that never becomes old

 
(Repeat Refrain)

 
Bridge:
Beside here, my window pane
Looking straight at the apple tree
Counting all our memories
Smiling back at those old days
 

(Repeat Refrain)

Sige (Tagalog)


I.
‘Di ba nagpaalam ka na?
Nang-iwan at sinabing masaya ka na?


II.
Bakit? Nakalimot na ata.
Sa mundo ko ay bumabalik pa.


Chorus:
Ano ba talaga? Ako’y mahal mo pa ba?
Kung tayo, edi tayo.
Kung hindi ay okey lang.
Basta’t ayokong maghintay.
Kung tayo, oo, sige tayo na talaga.

 
III.
‘Wag ka lang masyadong istorbo
Kahit pa ikaw ay gwapo

 
IV.
Kung handa ka na sige lang
Nandito pa rin ako nagmamahal

 
(repeat Chorus)

 
Bridge:
Kung bakit din kasi hindi nag-habol
Wala din naman kasing pagbabago
Bahala na lang ang panahon
Kung bukas tayo, sige po

 
(repeat chorus)

 
Coda:
Sige, kung tayo, tayo,
Edi, sige, tayo talaga

40 Years From Now

I.
When I get older
And my voice gets thicker
Will you still love me 40 years from now?

II.
will you be sending gifts
On Christmas and Valentines
Say "I love you more" 40 years from now?

Chorus:
You'll get older and wider
And never be clever
And days will all come to end
And if I ask you a question
Will you still love me
Will you still play with me
40 years from now

III.
When  my eyes get blurry
And it's hard for me to walk
Will you still care for me 40 years from now?










Chorus:

You'll get older and wider
And never be clever
And days will all come to end
And if I ask you a question
Will you still love me
Will you still play with me
40 years from now

And if I ask you a question
Will you still love me
Will you still pray for me 40 years from now?

A Poem That Doesn't Rhyme

I'm growing eyebag in spending hours,
It's really freakin' hard to think what to write.
I'm sweating arms and counting dust,
To come up with the words I want to tell the man.

If I were the glass from where you drink wine,
I'd put a glue so I'm forever stuck on you.
If I were a dog, as cute as Don,
I'd bark at you 'till you notice I'm forlorn.

But you're busy sweetie, I'm not the priority,
So I won't call 'cause this might end in tragedy.
But if you, again, remember me,
My skype is up, tease me, hug me, and sing to me.

But, honey, you don't sing to this young lady,
So I thank DJ Noah for 'The New ABC' (yeah)
Have you deleted the Ozaki song I recorded?
Please, OMG! Don't make me feel depleted.

I thank the company that gave me opportunity
To meet this fossil that is ever so busy.
He's strong as a lion, and roars like a tiger,
But soft as butter, like how birds twitter.

Now, he doesn't reserve lessons with me,
I do not need to save the last rooms for him.
But every night, the subject's like Sociology,
Mostly Anthropology, and a bit of Psychology.

I remember the time when he made me half-crazy,
When he delicately proved his love to me.
He isn't just a man of dignity and wit,
But also of love that is undeniably sweet.

It's half past four and I can't fall asleep.
I wonder if the prince still thinks of me.
But more than that, I hope he's at ease.
Later, I'll just dream of him, chatting with me.

I miss his smile and I miss his laugh
And his compassionate heart that I always love.
It's funny when he pictures the nail as 'T'
And calls his master when he's about to hug me.

I noticed his picture on skype had changed
I asked where he was and who they were.
(Now, I have a copy of that memory to keep)
From here, we started to exchange words 'till 3.

From him, I learned a lot of worthy things.
For him, I try to be great as a king.
(Or maybe not) Sir, of course, I'm just kidding. ^^
I'll be great for myself, and that's what I believe in.

I'm reading your words, as if I were in a masquerade,
With sugary magic, like promises, that will never fade.
When you said that you tend things to really happen,
Was it just a kind of Turkish delight which sends believers to heaven? 


I can't believe myself, I cried for the first time, again,
After a long time since I broke up with my first boyfriend.
For the hundredth time I re-read your beautiful words.
But I might just stop it, melancholy is getting worse.

I miss you and I hope to see you soon.
I miss you and I hope to talk you soon.
I miss 'good nights' and 'lullabies' before bedtime,
'My sleeping beauty' and 'my Angel' like you're holding me tight.

Nothig more beautiful than seeing you in Singapore soon.
Now, all I can do is write songs for you, even if they're out of tune,
And stare at your pictures wherein you're really damn cute
But on skype, I love more the furry master in pink suit

So now, I have to sleep (on my new contour sheet ^^)
And I'll pray that on tthe next day, I could talk to you again.
And your business will prosper, and everything will be okay.
That you, my man I knew, will never, ever change.

May all the angels above don't leave you, and continually guide you
In helping your families all around the world who love you.
But, Sir, could I ask you a simple favor?
My name - could you possibly don't forget to remember?

I don't have much more to say.
Maybe, If I could feed my brain a piece of bread,
Or left my heart alone on my desk,
There'd be a bunch more words to be read.

Good night and take care, we'll see each other again
On Skype, in manila, or in S - I - N.
I'll never forget the name 'Hideki Kiyohara',
I'll think of you from time to time, in everywhere.

Broken Heart

I.
I do a little sleep at night
While I dream that everything's alright
Barely crying, but I now you're screaming
Deep inside you're hurting in the wild

II.
Every second you die and think
All things are far from real
Still got a lot to fix
But got no time to live
And got no time to heal

Chorus
Still got a lot to fix
But got no time to live
And got no time to heal
Your broken heart

III.
Some run, some hide and cry
Some try to stay but they cover their eyes
Some try to fill their emptiness
They'll feel okay if you give them space

IV.
Some thought they already have everything
There's nothing more they need
All things are far from real
Still got a lot to fix
But got no time to live
And got no time to heal


Chorus
Still got a lot to fix
But got no time to live
And got no time to heal
Your broken heart

Bridge
When everything's gone wrong
We tend to lose control
This ain't a perfect life
This ain't a perfect love
It's never a perfect life
It's never a perfect love
No never a perfect love

Chorus
Still got a lot to fix
But got no time to live
And got no time to heal
Your broken heart

Loosin' Up

I.
I'm floating on the water like a leaf
I'm walking on tiptoe like a breeze
Like a silent rock rhythm
Like a centipede breaking down
Who's never been a home-bound
(woah...)

II.
As hot as the sun, I'll start the fire
You know, flying can't keep me satisfied
But it gives me a little thrill
Quite a jetplane speeding through
One-stop hill or two
(woah...)

Refrain:
I'm loosin' up, 
yeah I'm loosin' up (2x)

III.
I'm fillin' up the spaces of the streets
I'm painting all the faces I can reach
Good as shattered colors of kaleidoscope
Good as dancing on a bullet train
Puts you on the cutting edge
(woah...)

Refrain:
I'm loosin' up, 
yeah I'm loosin' up (2x)

(woah...)

STUPIDITY THEORY

What is Stupidity?

Is it when a friend calls you on the land line, and asks you where you are?

Is it when somebody steps on your foot, and asks you if it hurts?

Is it when your teacher asks you questions about the lesson she hasn't taught the class, and she gets mad at you because, heaven's sake, you just really can't answer. And afterwards, a classmate stretches both arms, like just a few inches away from the ceiling, and proudly gives the answer (which he got from the book under his desk) - then the teacher becomes profoundly happy, and eventually makes him teacher's pet. (Slap their faces >.< )

Is it when you wonder how fancy tricks on Facebook were repeatedly done by your friends, and you still keep wondering for days until your stupid slow-loading brain realizes it's just as simple as 'copy-paste'?

Is it sticking your nose on youtube for hours to memorize the 'Knife Song' lyrics, suddenly you plan of filming yourself with a knife on your precious hand?

Is it when your neighbor goes to your store and asks for 'Colgate' which she actually means 'happee toothpaste', as stupid as she asks for 'Pampers' which she means 'EQ', and looks for 'Downy' which is actually 'Del'?


grrr.

You Are The Sunshine

Il.
I don't worry, don't cry for nothing
I got the best things to write into my notes
I count the blessings, enough the wasting time,
I'm so in the mood to stay in my place, and clear up my head,
And see that everything's fine, fine
Pa-pa-fine, fine

Refrain
Because you are the sunshine, you are the sunshine
'Cause I can be myself all the time
I realize how perfect I am just with your smile,
Just with your laugh, just don't say goodbye,
Keep the lovin', keep, keep me turnin' on

II.
So don't worry, I am your honey,
You are wonderful just the way you are
I heard you're having the blues again
Just keep it calm, the night is fine, so clear up your head
And see that everything's alright, everything's alright
