Chorus:

Maski iba ang daan, sa buhay nating ito

Sana ang sinabi ko ay totoo
 
Kasi wala ka na sa buhay ko, patawarin mo ako

Ito ang huling pag-asa ko, huling pag-asa ko

[Interlude]

Verse:

Kahit walang dahilan, may nararamdaman

Nagtataka ang puso ko sa di na pag-iisa

Kahit hindi na tayo ay magkaibigan

Sana tayong dalawa ay may ibang dahilan

Chorus:   

Maski iba ang daan, sa buhay nating ito

Sana ang sinabi ko ay totoo
 
Kasi wala ka na sa buhay ko, patawarin mo ako

Ito ang huling pag-asa ko, huling pag-asa ko

[Interlude]

Ito ang huling, Ito ang huling pag-asa ko

[Solo]

Verse 2:

Di na babalikan ang ‘yong kagandahan

Sana bagay naman ang langit at buwan

Pwede bang dahan-dahan ang taon? maging malumanay.

Maski ‘sa lang (Maski ‘sa lang)    

Kasi ito ang huling, ito ang huling

Chorus:

iba ang daan, sa buhay nating ito

Sana sinabi ko ay totoo
 
Kasi wala ka na sa buhay ko, patawarin mo ako

Ito ang huling pag-asa ko, huling pag-asa ko

Huling Pag-asa

Lyrics
Intro
(ambient intro)

Ballad section
(interlude) 

I showed up
To this new place
Tryna find myself
And keep my pace
New world, new rules
I can’t act like a fool now…
Ohhhhhh

Liars all around me
Still gotta smile politely
Stay sharp keep the noise out
Don’t give them reason to doubt
Focus on my self
I’m gonna bloom in the storm

Oh, I, I bloom on my, i bloom on my own (improv)

Transition: 
Maybe its time to bloom now

Boom Bap section
You ever look back at your worst days and think like
Man all I had to do was drink some water yk what im sayin hahaha

Skipped school, made art in a food court
Spilled thoughts on a beat like a crash course
You laughed, I cried, then we switched roles
And then we turn it good and make up like it’s rose gold
I’m not the type of guy to impress
Got scarred affiliations from the people I know
And even when we paint pictures, that abstract shit
The world don’t revolve around you like a merry go
Sidewalk talks and late night walks yeah that’s it
Had to swallow more pills than I ever could admit
My daddy told me never show face and be emotional 
My momma told me that it’s okay to be emotional 
My brothers told me happiness is never non-negotiable 
When I was back school I used to be so inconsolable 
Friends made it easier, we were irresponsible 
And laughed through the pain like it wasn’t even optional 
We ain’t have a plan, just a playlist and a curfew
Heard the world say “no,” but my friends said “we heard you”
Had to be blessed, cause i bite off more than I chew
More than hot glue, so let the drum break run through

Dreamin’ of a future we could never comprehend I
Used to scribble in margins, now I write like comprehensions with
Every late night secret that we swore we would defend, and
Hoped the ripples of laughter never really had an endin’ 
I Told the world we’d make it, even if we broke instead
Found a little comfort in the music in my head
Every moment bigger than the weight of our regrets
But I’d do it all again just to never forget 
My life is like a loop in a playlist that I’d never change
And even if the world moved on, I would keep my pace
And stay the same, we’d be alright, even if tomorrow never came 
So pass that positivity like blunts or some novacaine

We were golden in the night
We don’t gotta worry even if we had one eye closed
Didn’t have to pick a fight
Sitting and just staring at the ceiling yeah I know
Every laugh, every night
Every song that we write
No matter where we are it feels like home
And I’d give it all again so I’d never have to let go

(Geetar solo)

Tom Groove section
Every grain of sand
You hold it in your hand
Just like every scene and  every memory

Too young to understand
Im floating on an island
Staying still but moving

It’s just another day 
Just like yesterday
Don’t you wish that you could go back home?

you can’t just run away
I don't really want to stay
Tell me what it feels to just let go?

Ahhhhhh (adlibs)

(Interlude)

(Geetar solo)

Lyrics
Verse 1: 
Hiding, overwhelmed with
Work and life now
Wanna set myself free 
Waiting for the weekends
And the Sem breaks 
Wanna just start working now

Chorus: 
Run Away 
Run Away 
Run Away  
‘Cause I can’t hide no more

Run Away 
Run Away 
Run Away 
‘Cause I just wanna run

Run Away

Run Away 
‘Cause I can’t hide no more

Run Away 
Run Away 
Run Away 
‘Cause I just wanna run

(Interlude)

Verse 2: 
Hiding, overwhelmed with
Projects pilling
Wanna set myself free 
Waiting for the weekends
And the Sem breaks 
Wanna go out and have fun

Pre-Chorus:
But I don’t wanna fall behind 
The light is shining at the end 
I wanna rest but gotta keep on going 
I don’t have a choice, I just wanna run

Chorus: 
Run Away 
Run Away 
Run Away 
‘Cause I can’t hide no more

my light’s been extinguished 
But i have to reignite it

Verse
We keep dancing round the line we drew
Say it’s nothing then we stay till it’s noon I
Text at 2am, but your replies seem like you do not give a damn and
I don’t know what to do now, im kinda lost
When we stand here in the rain, coincidence? When our paths crossed
Yeah I don’t know what to do, don’t know who to trust
So tell me is this easy or am I trying too much?

Chorus
you know that im just a man
why can’t we just hold hands
and maybe we could touch the sky
give you back borrowed time cause
you know that im just a man
why can’t we be more than friends
conversations late at night
and i could just hold you tight 
cause you know that im - 

Verse 2
Thought we speak the same language, turns out we speak in dents
You fill the gaps with texts that are meaningless
Love ain’t a currency, im tired of being spent
I need deposit, not loaned bills of intent
My heart is aching, would it be better being alone
Your silence thick, like winter coats left on a bone
I try to talk, but you close the door (fuck am i s’posed to do) 
Fuck am i s’posed to do when everything is going to shit
Might as well past time while im getting lit
But the tonic and gin don’t fill gaps that split
(it don’t)

Chorus
But you know that im just a man
why can’t we just hold hands
and maybe we could touch the sky
give you back borrowed time cause
you know that im just a man
why can’t we be more than friends
conversations late at night
and i could just hold you tight 
cause you know that im just a man

Hold You Tight

[verse 1]
as time goes by
we struggle and we strive 
towards the light
hoping that we’ll never lose our minds
I lie awake 
counting memories and mistakes
as time goes by

[chorus]
I want to be
Reaching for the stars
I want to dream
But dreaming gets so hard
When all you do
Is question who you are 
it feels so far 
we just can’t wait to land amongst the stars 

[verse 2]
i can’t deny 
i’m letting my life go by 
just wondering why 
we always gotta say goodbye
to things that 
we hold close, i’ll never know
as time goes by

[chorus]
I want to be
Reaching for the stars
I want to dream
But dreaming gets so hard
When all you do
Is question who you are 
it feels so far 
we just can’t wait to land 

[bridge]
I wanna try and reach the sky 
I wanna try and reach the sky 
before i say goodbye 

[chorus]
I want to be
Reaching for the stars
I want to dream
But dreaming gets so hard
When all you do
Is question who you are 
it feels so far 
we just can’t wait to land amongst the stars

Lyrics:

Mind’s in a heatwave
I look around, I’m in the wrong time (no) wrong place
Listen to the sound, but it’s quiet out in outer space
uh, I’m gone
Runnin’ out on hydrate (I got no)
I’m going ham, over 90 on a highway
Listen to the sound, but this sound ain’t no drum and bass

If only someone was somewhere, out there
Could hear my voice through the silence, cold air
If I crashed, let the echo be my prayer
If I land, hope you’re waitin’ for me I swear

Oh, I wouldn’t take it this far
If i knew that you’d leave me here in the dark
And oh i swear on my broken heart, can’t take this no longer so
Why am I still running off my mind

Listen, if you wanna, get it of ya, i could give you worth
all them other bitches wanna (ooh!), out of my turf
pull up with the fire make it hotter than the sun burn
so please don’t call me little bitch
better keep your convo down, my name and number off your phone lil bitch
if i get e-commerce, then stay calm and get good karma in this biz
and i feel fantastic cause i got 4 diamonds with three of em on my bag and i got one of em on my wrist


If only someone was somewhere, out there
Could hear my voice through the silence, cold air
If I fall, I hope you know I still care
If I’m up, keep the violence unaware
If only someone was somewhere, out there
Could hear my voice through the silence, cold air
If I crashed, let the echo be my prayer
If I land, hope you’re waitin’ for me I swear

Oh, I wouldn’t take it this far
If i knew that you’d leave me here in the dark
And oh i swear on my broken heart, can’t take this no longer so
Why am I still running off my mind


I got snakes in the grass, I could multi-task if I wanna
know I’m barely worth sumn but if you really wanted something I could give it to ya
Got some weight on my chest, still I never fold, I just really push it further
Got my mind in a maze, but I navigate around, like a runner

I’m scared of forever if ever isn’t with you
I don’t a need a lifetime, just a moment that’s true
Even if our moments fade, I’d still spend the little few
Cause forever isn’t worth if it aint with you

Fuck a tee and a tank top
keep that hood type sh-
Consumer chains tighter than a padlock
What’s the use of threads, I’d rather wear wisdom than a name-drop
Strip the labels, let the soul talk
This soul food, it’s dangerous
I’m more at stake then a tomahawk
But truth be told, I got these truth over these trends
I do not follow follow any mannequins
it do not make sense to make ends
When the means are gone and seams are split
They sew illusions, thinking I’m in
But I stitch my purpose where the spirit hits
They chasing fabric, I chase bliss uh

wtf am i doing here bruh
