The first track in "Revenant."

LYRICS
I've been waiting for you to change
But you seem so eager not to be yourself
Like a great pretender
You don't want to be left behind
So

Going to turn my back on you
And let you feel this cold shoulder 
'Cause for those years we're together
You made me
You made me feel like shit

I think you're lost so is my trust
Not to be with you I think I must (Damn)
Be like a free spirit
That does not care
Of the whispers

Going to turn my back on you
And let you feel this cold shoulder 
'Cause for those years we're together
You made me
You made me feel like shit

Take some time to think (Take some time my darling)
Of all the things you've done 
(Honey, what you did is done and gone)

Going to turn my back on you
And let you feel this cold shoulder 
'Cause for those years we're together
You made me
You made me feel like shit

Cold Shoulder - Anne Estipona

Second track in "Revenant".

LYRICS
I won't fear all of the dark
Even if you are there
I take you just as you are
Find your way with me

Lying here feeling your heart beating
Makes me feel we're meant to be
But oh no, it's nobody's fault
 All I want is you

I won't fear all of the dark
Even if you are there
I take you just as you are
Find your way with me

Don't go yet
Let's sing with the rain
Tell me I'm your only one
Oh...It's all my fault
'Cause all I need is you

I won't fear all of the dark
Even if you are there
I take you just as you are
Find your way with me

We won't find answers to this mess
We made
I know we both regret this
I will miss every touch of your fingers
As you drown
As your drown me

I won't fear all of the dark
Even if you are there
I take you just as you are
Find your way with me

Revenant

All Of The Dark - Anne Estipona

The third track of "Revenant."

LYRICS

My drinking worsen
Gotta numb these feelings
Tell them I'm movin' on
But I'm still hung up
With all your promises
Where have they gone?

Oh it's such a mess
Though you treated me like a princess
Yet you left me without good wishes

CHORUS
Saw my reflection in the black mirror 
All she's best to do is fail
Swimming in a pool of tears
Catching her breath asking, "Why did he leave me here?"
What have a I done wrong? Wrong, it's wrong

And I bet your friends were so supportive
Told you it's all goo that you got rid of
That primadonna who'll sink you so low
Until you reach that quicksand

How can I forget that you treated me like a princess 
Yet you left me without good wishes

(Repeat Chorus)

Ooooh...Oooh...(2x)
(Do you really love me? Because you moved on so fast without even realizing anything)

Tell me does it feel so right that I'm not with you now?
Tell me, are you enjoying your life?
Without me, suffocating, suffocating, suffocating you

(Repeat Chorus)

Saw my reflection in the black mirror 
All I'm best to do is fail
Turns out I'm not what you expect
'Cause I'm stronger than before

Do you really hate me that much?
Tell me
I'll understand
'Cause that's all I'll ever do

Black Mirror - Anne Estipona

Fourth track of the EP "Revenant"

LYRICS

Hey now I’m living my life to what I wanted to
Hey now, you think you got new but I got a lot to do
Hey now, I’m so much better than what you made me feel
Without, without you

Hmm…hmmm…

The blaming game it stops right here
‘Cause I’m sick of all the pain
You’ll never see me in your heart
I am all and wide awake

Through every step I take, to every choice I make 
You’re already gone
You might have someone new but I got friends who say
I better move along (‘cause you’re not worth it)

Hey now I’m living my life to what I wanted to
Hey now, you think you got new but I got a lot to do
Hey now, I’m so much better than what you made me feel
Without, without you

Woah…Oh…oh…

It is time to live my life not a single you in me
But all the memories that we had
I wouldn’t take it all away
For I will prove you wrong
And draw out life from these
Black and white scenes
And yes your friend did say
That I don’t need a man to be happy

Hey now I’m living my life to what I wanted to
Hey now, you think you got new but I got a lot to do
Hey now, I’m so much better than what you made me feel
Without, without you

Hey now, you’ll see it coming
I will have better days
Hey now, no more tears and no more asking why
Hey now, you think you dodged the mess you left
Hey now, I’m everything
Without You

Without You - Anne Estipona

Fifth track of "Revenant."

LYRICS

Time and again
I can’t stop choosing where we are
I can’t pretend (I can’t pretend)
You’re why I made it this far

So I keep praying 
That you’ll still stay for more
It is ever changing
But friendships worth fighting for

Hear me now
The light you brought is shining
Hear that sound of happiness whistling in the wind

Weeks turned to months
Dark clouds keep blocking that sunshine
You reached out your hand (You reached out your hand)
There I knew everything is alright
Continue on fighting 
I know it’s tough right now
Don’t think about him
You’re more complete than before

Hear me now
The light you brought is shining
Hear that sound of happiness whistling in the wind

Whistling In The Wind

Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never break you—which isn’t always true because abuse come in many forms. And verbal abuse is one type of abuse that disrupts a person’s psyche. 

Before You Do

LYRICS

Your words you think they don’t matter
Your actions, you think they’re just fine
With all that you gained 
Is that how you portray the role of what is right?

Yes, I don’t have a name to begin with
But that’s not how you should define
A person that you know nothing about
At least you better check it twice

Everything that comes out of your mouth are bullets split in two
Be sure to know who’s in front of you
Before you rip her too, Oh

We are all equal on this
Let your feet land on the ground
Don’t get framed for what you see
‘Cause that’s not what it’s all about
“Build a name for you,” that’s how they preach
And that’s how you should be
The world is cruel 
The least you can do is be kind to who you meet

Everything that comes out of your mouth are bullets split in two
Be sure to know who’s in front of you
Before you rip her too

Everything that comes out of your mouth are bullets split in two
Be sure to know who’s in front of you
Before you rip her too

Before You Do

Let me walk you into the life a person battling depression and anxiety. Hear the narrative of suicidal mind.

Suicide and suicide attempts are real and it shouldn't just be the end of every chapter to those who tried or took their own lives. What can you do to help?

I AM NOBODY

LYRICS

Hmmm...
Hmmm...
Hmmm...

Who am I in this world? Do I deserve to even breathe again?
Who am I after all of the times that I stumbled down?
As I wait on the tracks and my reflection looked back without a face
What's the use to believe that I have something to say, when someone told me I'm nothing

I am nobody who keeps on dreaming, keeps on walking on my toes
I am nobody who, with all my broken pieces reminding me to stay

Who am I to be sure that tomorrow you'll comfort me?
Who am anyway to be saved from all of this?

And I ran away, far from the girl that I've been
Unsure of my pace
I don't want to pretend that I can see the light
But on this day...

I am nobody who keeps on dreaming, keeps on walking on my toes
I am nobody who, with all my broken pieces reminding me to stay

It's hard to keep on going
When you're all dead inside
They don't see me fighting
(As I) As I'm all dead inside

Am I nobody who keeps on dreaming, keeps on walking on my toes?
Am I nobody who, with all my broken pieces reminding me to stay?
Should I stay?
Oh please stay?
Please stay
Please stay
Please stay

I Am Nobody

Social media has been a platform for everyone to live like celebrities. Whether you sing, dance, draw, you can post it there and be proud of what you do. However, it also opened a world where everyone can bash and hate what you create. This leads to a question “Is it all worth it?” 

Our lives now revolve around seeking approval from others instead of looking more into our own mental and emotional well-being.  According to Sylvia Salow “The only real validation worth pursuing is validation of you for what you do, think, and say.” Let’s practice self-care because it’s very important especially in this age where everything and everyone can be toxic.

Dedicated to people like me suffering from depression and other neurodiverse conditions where even the simplest tasks are difficult to do. Dedicated to Jane as well. 

All Their Faces

LYRICS

I had no decent sleep for months
Threw all my priorities 
‘Cause my mind is not fine, Ohhh
Today I talked to Jane and she feels the same
We’re not okay
But we have to push ourselves, woah

This life is full of BS
Always taken for granted
Can’t even forgive myself for being so imperfect

When will I receive that validation?
Do I even need a destination?
I have lost my way on all the stages
Kept on hiding behind of all their faces

You tell me I have to rest, yeah yeah
‘Cause this is just a test 
Have you been on my end? Ohhh

“You know there’s a lot of us out there who only wants some peace of mind
Go ahead, give your pep talk, uhuh"

This life is full of BS
Always taken for granted
Can’t even forgive myself for being so imperfect (laughs)

When will I receive that validation?
Do I even need a destination?
I have lost my way on all the stages
Kept on hiding behind of all their faces

When will I receive that validation?
Do I even need a destination?
I have lost my way on all the stages
Kept on hiding behind of all their faces
Kept on hiding behind of all their faces
Kept on hiding behind of all their faces


Spoken words:
Do I even need that?
I’m lost
Can’t find my way
Look at those faces
(Laughs)
Do I even need that?
I lost my way
Look at those faces
Uhhh…
I’m so tired of pretending
Pffft!
(Laughs)

Overlapped verse:
Do you know what you’re here for?
Do you even remember?
Do you think it’s easy to forgive?
A person like you who only thinks of himself?
A person like you who only thinks of herself?
A person like you…

All Their Faces

Lyrics

You are beautiful as ever
As if the years have made it better
Why don't you come up to me and kiss me
Flowers bloom all around you
No one ever comes close to you
Come and blow a kiss and maybe lift me.

It's as if the stars aligned tonight
And we are the only ones here
Let's make the most of tonight
And be gone to the skies

*Let's sing and dance to the stars
Holding hands side by side
We are the masters of the night
Keep me loved, I'll keep you warm
Sing and dance in harmony
I'll keep you company
In the calming silence of the night

You and I both know the diff'rence
What pride can do, make us indiff'rent
Make us look like fools in diff'rent places
It's been a year since I last met you
I'm glad you are the same good person
Loving you makes me want you more than ever

It's as if the waves of time that trashed
Have brought us again together
I'll make sure not to let this pass
Make sure everything is better

*Let's sing and dance to the stars
Holding hands side by side
We are the masters of the night
Keep me loved, I'll keep you warm
Sing and dance in harmony
I'll keep you company
In the calming silence of the night

/We came a long way from the troubles and the past that haunts us
We figured out what was important
You and I looking out for the future
Braving the unknown horizon
With you right by my side
And I thank you
For your love keeps me sane

*Let's sing and dance to the stars
Holding hands side by side
We are the masters of the night
Keep me loved, I'll keep you warm
Sing and dance in harmony
I'll keep you company
In the calming silence of the night

You and I, tonight

Y(ou)
