leaves

mga araw na gusto ko lumutang sa mundong puno ng problema

vault

feel something

sabi ng tropa ko, i miss you

sana nandito ka

Prologue

kasama ka sa paotsin
kumakain ng shark fins
pagkatpos manood ng gig
magyoyosi lang sa gilid

sumasarap pag kasama ka
sumasarap pag kasama ka
sumasarap pag kasama ka
sumasarap pag kasama ka

pwede bang wag mag alala
pwede bang wag mahiya
hahatid kita kahit pa
matulog sa kalsada na
bukas ba'y magkikita
san naman tayo pupunta?
kahit san basta kasama ka
mas masaya kapag kasama ka

mas masarap kapag kasama ka
mas masarap kapag kasama ka
mas masarap kapag kasama ka
mas masarap kapag kasama ka

MATOKI, Walktrip - paotsin

maliligtas mo ba ako sa kamatayan sa mundong puno ng kasiyahan?

do i deserve to be
painted so lovingly
your picture amplifies
the things i've long denied

and as amazing as you are
all that you ask of me
is to never be too far
so i'll stay indefinitely

oh it almost feels unfair
that i get to be with you
the most unlikely pair
in a maze of feverfew

with the way we are right now
i wanna try harder somehow
how can you love someone like me?
you said "you're all you have to be"

and as amazing as you are
all that you ask of me
is to never be too far
so i'll stay indefinitely

songs from the basement

oh her scent
i found it in my room
she hates herself
but i can't see why

i can see she finds it hard
to wake up
to face the world
but she does it
somehow

i let her sleep
in my bedsheets
i hear her cry
and i can see why

and i watched her
walk through the door
and i know
i wasn't sure
if i deserved
this girl

somehow

the words i read between the fine lines of your skin
were the words i wanna hear
tell me that you mean it
tell me that it's true
oh, my heart belongs to you

when i'm with you nothing matters at all
when i'm with you nothing makes sense at all

i couldn't imagine how i would be if i lost you
you held my hand and everything fell back
into place

when i'm with you nothing matters at all
when i'm with you nothing makes sense at all
when i'm with you nothing matters at all
when i'm with you nothing makes sense at all
when i'm with you

Fine Lines

Stop asking me if i love you, cause i do
Stop asking me to leave you
i'll stay here with you

Until the day our dreams come true
Until the plans we made go right through

lets stick together until we reach the taft avenue

I'll stay here with you

Riot Grrrl (Daddy Issues Cover)

lyrics:
ang tulad mo
at tulad ko
bituing nahuhulog
sa dilim 
kung gusto
magpapalaho

magkukunwari ba ang labi?
mauulit ba ang dati ?
kung tayo lang palagi
kung tayo lang palagi

'di na nga mahihiya
tayo'y iisa

'di na nga mahihiya
tayo'y iisa

iisa

sinusuyo
ikaw na nasa isip ko
walang kibo

kilometro
lalakarin lang ito sayo
walang sapatos

damhin ang bigat ng sana

labag sa akin
umiwas sa mga bangin
walang sasalo

binabanggit
pangalan mo habang umiidlip
wala naman paggising

would you go away?
i haven't slept in a day
my eyes are dry
its not like you ever tried

way down
way down
we go
way down
way down

call me on the phone
no words ever spoke
listen to the dial tone
nothing feels like home

are you tired or are you high
tell me if you've made your mind
I've been holding up my smile
(I've been holding up my smile)
knowing you still see me fine, knowing that you're mine

tell me if you're feelin fine
coz I've been losing all the time
tell me if you have made your mind
(tell me if you have made your mind)
tell me what is on your mind,
are you tired or are you high?

r u tired

Across Ur City

wondering what you look like when we grow old
where do you sleep when the night's getting cold?
i wish that you didn't have to go
i wish that you didn't have to go

i secretly hope you miss me like i do you
if you feel like yourself then darling i'm happy for you
but i wish that you didn't have to
but i wish that you didn't have to go

trust me i get it
you don't have to explain it to me
this system is rotten and someday we'll all be free
but i wish that you didn't have to
but i wish that you didn't have to go

if you come back, i hope that you will someday
we'll talk about the things you done when you're away
but i wish that you didn't have to
but i wish that you didn't have to go

but i wish that you didn't have to
i wish that you didn't have to go...

Smores

taguan sa maliwanag na buwan

o, ylang-ylang

I.
ang dulot ng ‘yong talulot
ay ang laging pagkaudlot
ng pag-amin sa’yo
malalaman mo rin
laman ng damdamin
binubulong ng hangin
nang palihim

Chorus:
o, ylang-ylang
ilang araw nang
ginugunita'ng
‘yong halimuon
‘yong halimuyak
o, ylang-ylang
‘wag maiilang
sa kalaunang
mabubunyag
o, ylang-ylang

II.
ika’y luntiang sinilang
hindi pinahintulutang
ikaw ay aking mahawakan
ng ‘yong inang luluha
at kukubli sa tawa
ako nalang sana'ng
kainin ng lupa

(Chorus)

Bridge:
bulaklak ng mga bulaklak

III.
langis ng iyong pagtangis
ay kawangis ng ‘yong pag-alis
‘pagkat hindi ka para sa ‘kin

Outro:
nang nalaman ko rin
laman ng ‘yong damdamin
at sigaw ng hanging
walang nililihim
ako pala’ng luluha
at kukubli sa tawa
maghuhukay ng lupa
ibabaon ang tulang
ika’y namumukadkad
namumukodtangi
malanta ma’y kay tamis
ng pagtanggap mo sa ‘kin
o, bulaklak ng mga bulaklak

Gasuklay

o, ylang-ylang

Lyrics

Chorus:
Magsasawa ka ba sa'kin
Bukas sa iyong pag-gising
Pakisabi na lang kung "oo"

Verse I:
Ang bigat ng puso ko
Baka madagdagan ang timbang
Sapagka't ito lang ako
Napagkakamalan na lang hibang

Pre-chorus
Mamayang gabi
Makuha pa kayang ngumiti
O makuha niya?

Chorus:
Magsasawa ka ba sa'kin
Bukas sa iyong pag-gising
Pakisabi na lang kung oo

Verse II:
Gusto kong maligaw
Sa haba ng 'yong buhok
Bangungot kang lumitaw
Sa panaginip ng antok

Verse III:
Sa tahanan na binuo
Naka-ukit ang pangalan mo
Pinto'y bukas para sa iyo
Bakit hindi ako ang uwian mo?

Chorus: 
Magsasawa ka ba sa'kin
Bukas sa iyong pag-gising
Pakisabi na lang kung oo

Bridge:
Sana humaba ang gabi  
Humimbing ang iyong idlip
Kahit di ako ang katabi
'Wag ka lang maagang magigising

Sana hindi, sana hindi ka magsawa (2x)

Chorus:
Magsasawa ka ba sa'kin
Bukas sa iyong pag-gising
Pakisabi na lang kung oo

Magsasawa ka ba sa'kin
Bukas sa iyong pag-gising
Nakakasawa ba 'ko?

Outro:
Magsasawa ka ba sa'kin?
(Sana hindi, sana hindi)
Magsasawa ka ba sa'kin?
(Sana hindi, sana hindi)Chorus:
Magsasawa ka ba sa'kin
Bukas sa iyong pag-gising
Pakisabi na lang kung "oo"

Verse I:
Ang bigat ng puso ko
Baka madagdagan ang timbang
Sapagka't ito lang ako
Napagkakamalan na lang hibang

Pre-chorus
Mamayang gabi
Makuha pa kayang ngumiti
O makuha niya?
