Corridor

3:01 AM

Corridor

(From "Journey into the Unknown" Second Collection)

Minsan na nga tayong nagkita

Nagsalubong mga mata

Nais sana magpakilala

Pero ako ay huli na pala

Umaasa pagkatapos ng klase

Makita ka at makasama ka

Kahit sa pag-uwi ayos na

Walang problema

Inaantok sa matematika

Sa guro na kanina pa nagsasalita

Binibilang mga oras na nalalabi

Sumaya kahit na sandal

May ilang araw na din pala

Napupuno ang eskenita

Ng mga libro at tao

Mga munting kwarto

Magbabalik at pauwi na

Nais makasalubong ka

‘Yun at nangyari na nga

Pero may kasama nang iba

Buti na lang nagdala ng paying

Dahil unti-unti nang umaambon

Puso man sa putik sumubsob

Gusto mo bang sumukob?

Paradox

3:00 AM

Paradox

(From "Journey into the Unknown" Second Collection)

Should I still hope?

Should I still believe?

Should I continue to live?

A life I cannot scope

It’s so obvious

It’s just right there

Why can’t you see it?

Why can’t you feel it?

The fog you make

The bridge you break

You tell me to come

But you always go

What do you want to show?

What do you want to know?

The things go the way

It shouldn’t be

It shouldn’t be

I’m telling you the truth

The truth is the lie between us

Blinded me and now brought me

To a point of reality

I shouldn’t be here

You shouldn’t be here with me

There must be someone else

You must have mistaken me

It’s hard and difficult

To convince myself to believe

It tells me to go

But you want to me to stay

Air

3:00 AM

Air

(From "Journey into the Unknown" Second Collection)

Do you believe in this?

Do you really think it’s me?

The pain I feel every time

The blood that drips from me

It’s not easy to pretend

That there a lot of bullets to dodge

That the rain kills me

Yet you’re just right there

You think that’s air you’re breathing now?

That I’m so fast you can’t hit me?

That I’m so strong you’re hurt?

Think again, it’s not your world

Deft dreams driven by pyhysiques

That’s the reason why you never see

Even if you deny it the reality drifts

Reality drifts…

Just let me stay here and die if you wish…

Vicissitudes

3:00 AM

Vicissitudes

(From "Journey into the Unknown" Second Collection)

Offer a toast to the moon

And drink with the stars

‘Cause it’s only you tonight

And the wandering thoughts

‘Round the night sky

When the nip goes down

Do you follow through?

Let me take you again

Take the glass down

And take yourself up

Don’t try to get another shot

‘Cause tomorrow might be gone

Without you

Sober down you vicissitudes

They make you go on the curves

Rushed your mind to take another

And when you wake up

You’re stripped from the truth

Take the bottle down

And keep yourself up

Don’t return to take another

‘Cause the morn might be gone

Without you

Scheherazade

3:00 AM

Scheherazade

(From "Journey into the Unknown" Second Collection)

The tales you tell

With permission you speak

You try to live with these

Reaching your life’s peak

That’s the reason why

I don’t want to come

With the stories you share

My wishes for you can’t be done

I loved and tried

But I rather be the simple one

Than being the knight

Who can end your life

I can’t be the king

Who can spare your life

‘Cause I was just hopeful

That my existence might be meaningful

That’s the truth

I can’t deny it

So when the vizier comes

I plead so I’ll keep you away

Shadow play

2:59 AM

Shadow play

(From "Journey into the Unknown" Second Collection)

Take me to the show

I want to see the marionettes

Come see the light

The act behind the curtain

But when the feat is over

And the light is shut

I want to stay and see more

But I’m tired, I want to go home

I don’t want to take the place

Of the play’s pawn

I tried to go on with you

But the next scene goes on

I can still hear you breathe

Wanted to follow you but I couldn’t

‘Cause when I do

You’ll never make it back

Take me to the show

I want to see the marionettes

Waiting for the light again

Closer to the curtain

Hangga’t Maari

2:59 AM

Hangga’t Maari

(From "Journey into the Unknown" Second Collection)

Hanggang ngayon

‘Di pa rin ako makapaniwala

Na nuhulog ako

Sa isang katulad mo

Kala ko dati

Parang walang hanggan

Pero nang tumagal

Do’n ko naintdinhan

‘Di pala pwede

Kaya wag na lang

‘Di sa ako’y nagpahuli

Kundi sa ako’y nagpasaya

Maiiwasan ba?

Na magkaroon ng luha

Kasi ‘di naman talaga

Dapat na ika’t mag-isa

Kaya’t hanggang maari

Kalimutan at isantabi na lang

Tunay na nararamdaman

Kahit nasasaktan

Gustong sumama

Kahit saan gustuhin

Pero ‘di maari

Dahil nandoon ka na
