"Final January"
It's starting to dawn on me: "I miss you"
...more than I ought to be
I'm staring at old frontispiece pictures
SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE
This beautiful day I'll brace this broken page with pieces I'm picking up
But little did I know the stories
weren't where I left them off
Said she's gone without me
Said she, "It just wasn't meant to be"
I used to make a wish before the blazes wake in January sky
They were composed of hopes I've coated with reproach to keep the powder dry
It started to rain on me: I missed out
on opportunities
So I suppose I won't recover from this loss
until I've finally
Burned all these thoughts of you
(Oh she can't be...No, she...Please be mistaken...)
Erased all the memories
(Is she "taken"?)
Wondering how can I endure underneath
the past and soon forgotten
until I can sing this requiem for me and you
(Said she's gone without me)
The final bomb has blown and
yet I'm still counting past the hour
until dawn (until dawn)
no sleep (no sleep)
I can't be dreaming (I won't be dreaming of what)
dreams of what life might've have been
could've been
should've been
Bury these thoughts of you
(Oh she couldn't be...No, she...Please be mistaken...)
Bereft from the memories
(Oh she's taken)
Wondering how can I ensure I could reach
beyond this place, I guess I would never know
How do I go on when you are gone?
(Can't go on it's clearly in the endgame)
When the final nail in the coffin hits me,
(Final as in married and expecting)
will I want to be a ghost than spend afterlife in heaven?
...more than I ought to be
I'm staring at old frontispiece pictures

"The Trinidad and Tobago Song"
I woke up today, feeling weary, feeling gray
I struggle to pass underneath the sunrays
The latency overcomes me like a disturbing trend
Riding the bus, fast approaching a dead end
What I wouldn't give to be there again
to feel the beach stains beneath the sands -- of T&T
We met to play mas and waved our rags on our way to a fete
And limed at the Bight, reminisce it was last night:
"It's bad luck to go all this way without getting your feet wet"
"(As long as you like) swim, just don't let the sharks bite"
We're green on J'Ouvert and jumped with the pan
When things got rowdy, you take my hand
No one knows me the way you know me
Because every time that you look at me
I realize that my soul is free
And every time you look at me
Look in these eyes, my soul is free
Because every time you look at me
I realize that my soul is free
I struggle to pass underneath the sunrays
The latency overcomes me like a disturbing trend
Riding the bus, fast approaching a dead end
What I wouldn't give to be there again
to feel the beach stains beneath the sands -- of T&T
We met to play mas and waved our rags on our way to a fete
And limed at the Bight, reminisce it was last night:
"It's bad luck to go all this way without getting your feet wet"
"(As long as you like) swim, just don't let the sharks bite"
We're green on J'Ouvert and jumped with the pan
When things got rowdy, you take my hand
No one knows me the way you know me
Because every time that you look at me
I realize that my soul is free
And every time you look at me
Look in these eyes, my soul is free
Because every time you look at me
I realize that my soul is free

"Two Separate Worlds"
(So) I won't cover for why I don't wanna hang anymore
All that we have said and implored were for naught and we're back to where we were before
So now that we acknowledge where we stand:
we're too remote in two separate lands
We'll burn away the empty vows so much we clouded our days withal
As much as I will miss you dearly so,
we're too involved in two separate worlds
We'll throw away the promises so long we messed our brains withal
The tether line is going
far beyond the point of breaking
me
and at that extent it was
sufficient
for me to see that all the time we spent...
spinning...
around the bend...
is making us happy at my expense.
(It made no sense.)
So I'm not gonna lie (as I look in your eyes) anymore:
This humbled piece of pie in the sky's all but crumbled and I'm imbibing more and more
I don't want to be alone,
that's why I waited for so long

"Red Rose"
I don't like pictures because they don't move
I like art, though, because they don't need to
It's sorta odd when you look at it
All these years I haven't changed a bit
Scratched the surface, no harm to the core
I'd like to come, but am I too sure?
I could've had her, I waited too long
All I know is all I thought was wrong
(Because) It took me 5 years to realize
-- You're momentarily memorialized
-- Across the world is a million miles
-- Used to be a daily wish for me to die
-- That without you I could stand myself
Robbie Ganzon, yeah, she was pretty
I could've gone, yeah, all the way!
But I just looked and stared endlessly
She's just a painting of a red rose
Sitting at the edge of my bed
I felt a sudden draft
Plastered posters on my wall
Gobbles up the dull blue paint
And it sums up to a misconception
All is lost in my confession
Tears would break, yeah, with no reason
You haunt me like it's an obsession
It took me 5 years to realize
-- She's just a painting of a red rose
-- I could've gone, yeah, all the way
-- She's just a painting of a red rose
I like art, though, because they don't need to

"May"
You know (you know), you know I love you
I know (I know), I know I care
But all (but all), but all these yearnings
are more than I can bear
While I go on with hiding
these precious notes -- I'm burning
up inside full of grief
when I sow what I can reap
All for the sake of friendship
You know, I wonder how much longer I can keep this up
You know where I stand, but I can't take it
You know the best things are the ones we can't think about
That's why I can't give up right now
I thought (I thought), I thought I loved you
Distraught (distraught), I ought to skip town
I don't (I don't) don't want to want you
so why do I still hang around?
While I go on withholding:
repress you through red herrings
From the depths of my sleeve
I regret that I deceive
All for the sake of friendship
While I go on with hiding
these precious notes -- I'm burning up
...but I won't take this lying down
All for the sake of friendship
That's why I can't give up right now
I know (I know), I know I care
But all (but all), but all these yearnings
are more than I can bear
While I go on with hiding
these precious notes -- I'm burning
up inside full of grief
when I sow what I can reap
All for the sake of friendship
You know, I wonder how much longer I can keep this up
You know where I stand, but I can't take it
You know the best things are the ones we can't think about
That's why I can't give up right now
I thought (I thought), I thought I loved you
Distraught (distraught), I ought to skip town
I don't (I don't) don't want to want you
so why do I still hang around?

All for the sake of friendship
That's why I can't give up right now

"Chameleon"
Flipping with my finger,
I'm watching tv
Surfing with the lights on,
my watch tells
it's 3 o'clock
It's way past midnight
Now I'll get some sleep
-- Into my bed I'll slip into my jammies, wishing goodnight
The way I have been
these past couple days
I owe myself just so much
so far from catching up that I'll never die
Chameleon pride
It slumbers in me
I am your number one fan
You are my identity
All I'm really good at
is mimicking you
You don't know me, but I know you
You know it's
all because of you
I'd like to change now
but my shadow is gone
-- I used to say we're inseparable forever; we're always one
Flipping with my finger,
I'm watching tv
Surfing with the lights on,
my watch tells
it's 3 o'clock
I'd like to change now
but my shadow is gone
-- I used to say we're inseparable forever; we're always one
The way I have been
these past couple days
It's been a habit of mine:
I'll be a charlatan to get what I want
And even when there's
nothing to imitate
I'll just slip into my dreams
to see how much of my surreal mind can take
The way I have been
these past couple days
I owe myself just so much
so far from catching up that I'll never die
Chameleon pride
It slumbers in me
I am your number one fan
You are my identity
I'm watching tv
Surfing with the lights on,
my watch tells
it's 3 o'clock
It's way past midnight
Now I'll get some sleep

"A Stubborn Star Story"
My heart is fleeting fast for I'm meeting
somebody like you today.
The note, it said, "Set out for my silhouette
at tonight's soiree."
So here I go, feeling irresolute (because when you're young, there's nothing else to do). So I look forward, for tonight's debut, to finally hear you when I'm next to you.
I arrived at the party around 11:15 and hoped that you would soon appear. Then there you are, the "stubborn star", amidst the awkwardness I drew near.
So I pursued despite my feelings of: "...this attitude would turn most people off..." I'm thinking, "Dude, what am I so afraid of?" when finally, from this place, you sprinted off.
(And so I) missed the chance to get this feeling off my chest, caught an ebb and caught up in a second guess, clutch the wave before it would dissipate, hope someday you'd notice it when I say, "Discard your cloak and let it float away toward this boat," and I'd recover til the day when my "Why?"s will stand a chance to her "I dunno."s
Lost and never found again: "Where or when did she go?" And I'll have this song to mend because now I am adrift from the stars that she's holding...the stars she's folding...the stars are FALLING!!!

"Nasaan Ka Ba?"
Ang buhay ko ay napakahirap, ikaw ay hinahanap sa buong mundo
As I step unto the edge of a chasm,
spreading out the wings of an airplane
Until it gets across the bay
these words'll be an anthem:
Nasaan ka ba?
Alab ng puso sa dibdib mo'y buhay
Nasaan ka ba?
Sumpa'ng langit dahil sa 'yo
Eleven years since I've set sail,
and so far it's to no avail,
Eleven words, yeah, I have held on
even though you might've moved on
I will sacrifice the best of times
for the times we have spent...
And if you read between the lines
you'll hear an echo of my lament:
Nguni't, kung ika'y makuha
Tunay ba'ng mahal pa kita?
Ang loob ko ngayon ay walang kapayapaan
Hanggang ikaw ay makita
Nasaan ka ba?

"Lit"
Boys and girls across the world I think I'm gonna get wasted!
I always do my work
and I'm always on time
I've never stolen anything,
I've never told a lie
I'm a good kid
and I'll never break the law,
But if I find a cool store
that would sell me alcohol
I'll get lit!! I'll get lit!!
-- I'll walk down to the lake and get lit!!
You're the coolest girl
that I've ever seen
Except for the one
in my porno magazine
I just want a girl
that I can figure out
But if I'm with my friends
and I hear her start to shout
We'll get lit!! We'll get lit!!
-- We'll leave her smart-ass home and get lit!!
Boys and girls across the world I think I'm gonna get wasted
We'll get lit!! We'll get lit!!

We'll leave her smart-ass home and get lit!!
