Lyrics:
I wonder, oh, so quietly
“When will it come to be?”
A romance, warm as the summer breeze

And as I’m watching the birds sing
I’m suddenly remembering
Yesterday, I dreamt I fell in love, oh

Yesterday, I dreamt I fell in love

(Instrumental)

I close my eyes 
I hear the sea
There she is, waiting for me

And though I know that I’m dreaming,
I still retain the feeling
Yesterday, I dreamt I fell in love, oh

And I know she’s an illusion
A made-up solution
For something I can’t seem to find

But for now, I’ll stay in this tiny world a little longer

[Intro]
(Instrumental)

[Verse 1]
Today’s the same old day
The self pity invades
The ink blots makes the spots
That stained my self image
Then a girl abruptly came
My eyes were on her face
Locked within her presence
Her looks etched within my brain

[Chorus]
Oh, I am in love,
What's this strong connection
It’s my ringing affection?
Oh, we don't converse
But love needs no reason,
A fairytale confession!

[Verse 2]
All these maths equations
That confused my mind
But the biggest question is
my feelings in a bind
Is this a fairytale
Where fate plays my own will
(Spoken) A story of a romeo and juliet,
But juliet never met a romeo

[Chorus]
But, but, but
Oh, I am in love,
What's this strong connection
It’s my ringing affection?
Oh, we don't converse
But love needs no reason,
A fairytale confession!

[Post-Chorus]
(Instrumental)

[Bridge]
A mystery, affinity, I don't know just why
I never even speak or meet this person to realize
Her traits, her birth dates, late on the uptake
Snow White didn't know her prince in the first place
As my love breaks off into so quite vague

[Chorus]
Oh, I am in love,
What's this strong connection
It’s my ringing affection?
Oh, we don't converse
But love needs no reason,
A fairytale confession!
Oh, I am in love,
What's this strong connection
It’s my ringing affection?
Oh, we don't converse
But love needs no reason,
A fairytale confession!

[Outro]

Lyrics:
Verse 1: 
I can’t seem to find the time 
You asked me as I heave a sigh 
The chances are never mine 
Heads up to the ceiling, I'm not feeling fine

Chorus: 
God knows, 
Why I love you like I do 
The pain that u made me go through 
I'm so damn confused 
It's an endless cycle, what should I do?

Verse 2.1 : 
Say, am I so pitiable 
Am I a joke to you
Verse 2.2:
I'm falling to pieces 
But really, what can I do
Our difference increases 
when I’m with you I’ll always lose

Chorus: 
God knows, 
Why I love you like I do 
The pain that u made me go through 
I'm so damn confused 
It's an endless cycle, what should I do

Outro: 
Say you wanted me, 
But I never see
Foliage on the bricks 
You asking for a fee
Though you make my eye bleed 
And act like as it be 
Nah

Verse: 
Turning twenty
How’s life been lately
Would we meet again, just maybe
Years have past but nothing’s changing 

play those memories 
we had for centuries 
they’re buried in my mind 
like how I feel inside 

Pre
I will hold on till the end of time
like how the stars will always align 
Just stay with me, I'll run to you 

Chorus 
I will never leave you alone 
Hate that i've to live when your gone, 
Stay with me 
While you sleep
Be with me in my dreams 

I swear I will never let go 
I will hold your hand until “tomorrow” 
Stay with me 
While you sleep 
Take this weight off from me 

Verse 
should've told you
the way I loved you 
on that frozen cold november
not something you’ll remember

colors fading
but i'm still waiting
so why am i alive 
if i cant love you right

Pre
I will hold on till the end of time
like how the stars will always align 
Just stay with me, I'll run to you 

Chorus 
I will never leave you alone 
Hate that i've to live when your gone, 
Stay with me 
While you sleep
Be with me in my dreams 

I swear I will never let go 
I will hold your hand until “tomorrow” 
Stay with me 
While you sleep 
Take this weight off (from me) 

Chorus (Soft)
How could you just leave me alone 
to fight for what is still left unknown  
Stay with me 
While you sleep 
Be with me in my dreams 

Chorus 
I will never leave you alone 
Hate that i've to live when your gone, 
Stay with me 
While you sleep
Be with me in my dreams 

I swear I will never let go 
I will hold your hand until “tomorrow” 
Stay with me 
While you sleep 
Take this weight off from me

Stay With Me

听一听
海浪的声音
手紧扣沙里

轻风吹着你
最美的风景
不愧是侧面的你

你知不知道
我解释不出口的
急速心跳
是喜欢的恐惧
更是向往的命运

名不虚传的爱情
我在这里就决定
相信
这温情

无声无息地靠近
挖出心里藏着的秘密
是你

停一停
说自己从不会再为谁傻傻地愣着
但为了你却呆呆地等着

你知不知道
我解释不出口的
急速心跳
是喜欢的恐惧
更是向往的命运

名不虚传的爱情
我在这里就决定
相信
这温情

无声无息地靠近
挖出心里藏着的秘密
是你

不是你是谁
怎么可能后悔
没人比你更配
故事到结尾
结局是你就对
相信这次的笑容

名不虚传的爱情
我在这里就决定
相信
这温情

名不虚传的爱情
我在这里就决定
相信
这温情

无声无息地靠近
挖出心里藏着的秘密
是你

Bitter

I remember when you told me that you’d hold me tight 
Were they really all just lies  
I remember all the times we would kiss and fight
Now i'm staying up at night
Hoping you'd be closer, a little warmer, a little something that lasts “forever” 
Should've stayed sober, now it’s all sour 

Waiting in silence, louder than sirens 
No matter where you go I’ll be
Waiting through phases, clouded by faces,
Hung on your lips though I know it 

Tastes so bitter, bitter, bitter
Better if I’m the
Villain, villain, the villain 
Wish I could pull the trigger 
But the sugar on your fingers
Made me feel so bitter, bitter, bitter, yeah 

Everybody tried to warn me but honestly I’d rather risk it all 
Risk it all, running back to you, you

Waiting in silence, louder than sirens 
No matter where you go I’ll be
Waiting through phases, clouded by faces,
Hung on your lips though I know it 

Tastes so bitter
Tastes so bitter
Better if I’m the
Villain, villain, the villain 
Wish I could pull the trigger 
But the sugar on your fingers
Made me feel so bitter, bitter, bitter, yeah 

I know I can’t help it but (bitter, bitter, bitter) 
I know I can’t help (better if i’m the villain)
I know I can’t help it but (villain, the villain) 
I know I can’t help (wish I could pull the trigger)
I know I can’t help it but (but the sugar on your fingers) 
I know I can’t help it (made me feel so)
I know I can’t help it but 
I know I can’t help it (tastes so bitter, bitter)

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Bitter

Lore:
Ethan works at 711 as a cashier, a shitty. He's at work, complaining about how much he hates his job. As he is leaving his job, he gets excited as he cannot wait to get home and play video games. When he plays games, he feels like the virtual world is where he belongs. The next day Ethan is forced to go back to work, he is back in the vicious cycle and he wants to die. He thinks about how he should actually quit his job and just play video games for the rest of his life. He goes into an existential crisis and decides to play guitar hero to destress. In the end it is implied that he quit his job, the good ending. He is now a bane to society. 

V1.1

V1
Mondays pass, the world is black and blue
nothing has changed, well, maybe one or two
the way back’s longer, wind gets colder, a monochrome expanse
“With your chest and all your heart, 言って (say it)”

Pre-chorus 1
one more time, one more time
smear my feelings on the line
watch the ink
slowly blot out the sky

Chorus 1
Can you say that it's over
say that its enough
あの優しい声
ano yasashi koe
忘れない
wasurenai
cry that it's over
without a goodbye
and maybe then
i'll let these feelings die

V2
Yesterday, i dreamt of something new
And when i dreamed, you were there in your dress taking in the ocean view
Oh do you remember the days
Seeing flower fields in may
How i wish we could both go back
To then

Pre-chorus 2
one more time, one more time
smear my feelings on the line
watch the ink
slowly blot out the sky

Pre-chorus 3
‘Would you just see, your eyes clouded
Stay with me’ (ghost lines)
“Don’t forget”, i regret
All the words still in my head
Will they reach
Cross the seas and the skies

Chorus 2
Can you say that it's over
say that its enough
あの優しい声
ano yasashi koe
忘れない
wasurenai
cry that it's over
without a goodbye
and maybe then
i'll let these feelings die

Bridge
But then, i've tried,
Failing every single time
Again, I find
Myself holding out my hand
But i know that it won't quite reach you
Ink spilling out turned to words that don't go through
And i still write

Soft Chorus
Can you say that it's over
say that its enough
Hear your voice come through the wind
“Oh you’ll be fine”
cry that it's over
without a goodbye

Chorus 3
Oh i know that it's over
though it's not enough
I will write until, i end
Up by your side
cry that it's over
I’ve said my goodbyes
This bleeding pen
Will never truly dry

SUGAR

Fall asleep, when I think you’re mine 
Can it be not just in my mind 
Now I’m waiting ‘till you cross the line 
I’ll get roses when the time is right 

Run away on the weekend 
Holding your hand 
No time to spare 
No more games, no more pretend 
Our romance
Sweet like eclairs 
What are you waiting for? 
Love is a chance for more
For more 

Sugar, won't you be mine, I swear I’ll treat you better all the time
In my dreams every night, I swear one day you’d be my valentine 
I know, I know that you feel it too so why don't you give me a kiss or two 
Sugar, won't you be mine  

Feel the breeze, sipping on cherry wine 
You and me swaying from side to side
Holding onto little things in life 
It’ll be us at the end of time 

Run away on the weekend 
Holding your hand 
No time to spare 
No more games, no more pretend 
Our romance
Sweet like eclairs 
What are you waiting for? 
Love is a chance for more
For more 

Sugar, won't you be mine, I swear I’ll treat you better all the time
In my dreams every night, I swear one day you’d be my valentine 
I know, I know that you feel it too so why don't you give me a kiss or two 
Sugar, won't you be mine  

Sugar, won't you be mine

Verse 1:
Wish I was in love
I’m fallin’ behind
Overthinking the things that I write
It’s more than the words
I played myself
I’m fallin’ behind
I’m screwed
Oh, I’m such a fool

Pre-Chorus:
I’m struggling
Everything's wrong with me
Tell me why can’t I feel the spark
I’ve been locked out of my heart

Chorus:
I’ve been up all night
Thinking about my life
The places that I’ve gone and the things that could have been
I’ve spent all my life
Searching for the chords
The chords to the chorus of my song

(Guitar Solo)

Verse 2:
I hate to be lame
But I know
I’m not the only one
With my head up in the clouds you’re heaven to me
Even gone you’re never done
You’re the only thing I wanted
Fallin’ behind
So screwed
What can I do?

Chorus:
I’ve been up all night
Thinking about my life
The places that I’ve gone and the things that could have been
I’ve spent all my life
Searching for the chords
The chords to the chorus-

Bridge:
As I stop and stare
Looking in the mirror
I would ask myself: “Would you do it all again?”
Wish that i could do this forever
But I’m running through the dark

Final Chorus:
I’ve been up all night
Thinking about my life
The places that I’ve gone and the things that could have been
I’ve spent all my life
Searching for the chords
The chords to the chorus of my song

Instrumentalists: Ethan, Matthew 
Special thanks to Ziyu

Verse: 
Standing still at the red light 
with you on the other side
staring back with your teary eyes 
with no words left behind 

Pre:
Round and round thought that you would come back for more
Though i know that you’re just the same as before 
Keeping my walls up
Knowing that you wont stop 
Hurting me ‘till i bleed 

Chorus: 
tonight your promises turned out to be a lie 
now i'm sitting alone ’til midnight 
Am i ‘pose to i carry on, holding on, holding onto flowers that don't belong
Hoping you would turn around come back, turn around come back to me
 
Pre 2:
Something in me wished you would call my name 
Doesn't matter how long it takes, i'll wait 
I know that it will never feel the same 
Don’t wanna make the same mistake

Soft chorus:
You showed up even when you said 
“Let’s never meet again” 
But here we are, standing where it all began 
So do we start over, over again?   

Chorus: 
tonight your promises turned out to be a lie 
now i'm sitting alone ’til midnight 
Am i ‘pose to i carry on, holding on, holding onto flowers that don't belong
Hoping you would turn around come back, turn around come back to me

Lyrics:
Verse 1A:

Walking in from a long day
With a bass that’s worn from practice
to the room where the band played
Songs of Sunny streets and 
Sunnier days

Verse 1B:

When did it turn so cold
and oh so empty
I thought that there’d be brighter days
The scent of summer, distant soon forgot
Disappearing into may

Pre-c:

And if
Time would stand still 
Holding for the morning light
I would stay here 
Within your crumbling walls

Chorus:


Let me dream a little, just a little longer
I hope that the moon will leave me be
Broken sanctuary, sanctuary 
A Garden that’s seen the end
I’ll follow you like the stars
Until we fade
To black, to black 
To nothing more

Verse 2:
Was it fine wasting monday
Waiting for your turn to play
And me burning my days
Tryna sleep through the pain

Pre-c:

And if
Time would stand still 
Holding for the morning light
I would stay here 
Within your crumbling walls

Chorus:


Let me dream a little, just a little longer
I hope that the moon will leave me be
Broken sanctuary, sanctuary 
A Garden that’s seen the end
I’ll follow you like the stars
Until we fade
To black, to black 
To nothing more

Bridge: 
And as spring begins to leave, we
Turn to fall whose leaves were autumn’s gold
And those broken leaves, rot in winter’s dream turned to memories forgotten
It’s just so cold,  here

Pre-c:

And if
Time would stand still 
Holding for the morning light
I would stay here 
Within your crumbling walls

Final Chorus:
One more second, one more moment
Please, I don’t want to go
Just give me forever, though it’s not enough (though it’s not enough)
Broken sanctuary, sanctuary 
There’s flowers beyond the end
I barely see past the stars
As it just fades
To black, to black 
To nothing more

Outro:

‘Vocals moment’

All fades  to black 
And nothing more

Verse 1:
Never had a good night's sleep for weeks
And I've been caught up in a daze

Cause you had a rough day and your life's all gray
But it's gonna be okay, everything's gonna be alright
Cause tonight, push your problems aside
We'll be having the time of our lives

Chorus:
Follow me, I'll take you to my favourite restaurant down the street
Bottoms up, let's share a toast, and have some sizzling wagyu beef 
It tastes just like home to me, so let me share my home with you

Verse 2:
Sometimes life feels like you relive the same things everyday
But I'm here to tell you that your life doesn’t have to be this way

Any sides you want, cause the treat is on me
Order what you like, there's no need to be stingy
End it with dessert, get some more, it won't hurt
It will be a night that you won't forget

Chorus:
Follow me, I'll take you to my favourite restaurant down the street
Bottoms up, let's share a toast, and have some sizzling wagyu beef 
It tastes just like home to me, so let me share my home with you

Yo,
The Fat Man is absurdly fat 
He lives high in the land, an aristocrat
Except nobility here isn’t of the privileged act
See, he lives a simple life, no wealth in that
From his cave in the hills, it’s rise and shine
Plants seeds in the garden when he has the time
But when his tummy starts to growl, you don’t have the time
You better run for your damn life, fool!
(Start running!)
A Type 2 weapon of mass destruction
Watch him rollin’ in for his introduction
The men (Gone!)
The women (Gone!)
The children (Gone!)
The city (Gone!)
While he's tearin’ at the people from bone to bone
There's a hint of green searin' the horizon, yo
It's the beloved Armed Forces, and they've come to attack

(Hentak kaki, cepat hentak!)
CHECK!

Cepat jalan!
CHECK!

(Yum, yum, yum!)

I was there in the crowd
When I saw it go down
Green, red
Blood, dread
Fat Man,
Not dead

They brought me to a hospital, when the battle took a turn
Blew his cave to smithereens, The Fat Man watched it burn
We thought that we had won, we thought humanity was saved
We were dead wrong, it only made him crave
More cry, more die, madness in the streets
The monument was walking, and it didn’t even grieve
Maybe war was silly for this matter after all
You create a monster, your kingdom’s bound to fall

(Auw!)
Fat Man is coming to town!
You better hope he doesn’t gobble you down-uh,
Auw, Fat Man is coming to town!
He’s gonna bobble, wobble, topple the crowd!
Fat Man is coming to town!
Chronic obesity is weighing him down-uh,
Auw, Fat Man is coming to town!
He’s gonna roll all the folks into the ground,

Roll all your friends into the ground
Roll all the dogs into the ground
Roll all the cats into the ground

big thanks to Aria, Rifqy and poos for supporting me on this journey, this song was written about you guys :)

its been 5 weeks
the days are growing longer
how can I be happy
When its crumbling

Message - how can i stay happy when everything is falling apart

its all ending
the feeling of security
is this our fate? 
what more is there?

pre chorus
Trying to water the tree

take your time   
its gonna be all right
stop your crying
“its ringing in my head” you said
“dont let this go to waste
after all you’ve been through 
one day you’ll feel safe” 


As the trees decay
new life springs where i once laid
will I be okay?
tommorows another day
you said 
you know that youll always have a place to stay
you’re going to find a way (thanks rifky)


(bus 800 type melody) 
stop tasting sour
you let your mind sink through
you took it out on me as i
rant to you again
cant you be more positive
stop bringing yourself down
its 3am 
and i really want to talk 


ill listen to you
ill stop being stubborn
i would put the world on hold
just to keep you safe and one day
ill come back with you to thank myself
theres no need for us to be afraid  

As the trees decay      
new life springs where i once laid
will I be okay? 
tommorows another day
you said 
you know that youll always have a place to stay
you’re going to find a way (thanks rifky)


now its time for us to go 
did we do enough though?
everything around us
is fading and decaying
is this really what you want?
digging deep into this hole
do I still  feel joy from this 
do I still want to go through this

now its time for everything
from the place where we once grew
i hate to say "i told you so"
but its something we all known that
in time this will end
soo lets have fun
one last dance
and then farewell my friends

even when it snows
the new tree emerges from below
I will be okay 
its time to make our way
you said “well
youve helped us find our own place to stay
your gonna be okay.”

thankyou (POD FINAL VER)

[Intro]
Instrumental ~ Main Riff

[Verse 1]
I see you standing there
Hopeless, wanting me to care
Rejected but I can’t just let you go
You say “leave the past behind”
But you came in the back of my mind
Pointless, for what do I owe?

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve done bad and you’ve done worse
Living hell like it’s a curse
All this screaming in my head
‘Cause I can’t 

[Chorus]
Walk away from the ashes
Run away from the pain
Bearing on to my scars
I will never heal the same
Break me free from the chains now  
Holding on as I drown
I’m being haunted by the ghost of 
who I am

[Post-Chorus]
Instrumental ~ Main Riff

[Verse 2]
Don't beat a dead horse
Once hurt you’ll leave a person said gone
Yeah, your existence leaves my head torn
So we need to end it off

Yeah, screw the memories with you and I
Tear the rot that gnaws my life
Longing, desperate, clinging to the part of me that's gone inside
Of the marks imprinted in your lies
That shows the mistakes in my light
The despised times of you and I
Enveloped eyes with all my vice

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I’ve done bad and I’ve done worse
Lived through hell, break free of this curse
Voices stirring in my head
‘Cause you can’t leave, no, you won’t leave
You’ve tied my hands, fatality
Did you hear the mass decree?
Get out of my sight, out of my life
But you won’t
 
[Chorus]
Walk away from the ashes
Do you find yourself in the pain?
Bearing on to your scars
You would never heal the same
Break me free from your chains now 
Holding on as I drown
I’m being haunted by the ghost of who you were

[Bridge/Outro]
Instrumental ~ Guitar Solo

"It's all a working process." There isn't a really an end to anything, but a process that leads to somewhere. 
My inspiration comes from the music I hear, wherever it may be. New sounds. New ideas. New stress? Maybe? Certainly. 
Working with people is great, as ideas bouncing around is sometimes faster than the project bouncing. So, if you enjoy my works, and you’re interested in collaborating, feel free to reach out at abcde@gmail.com
