This time, I'm taking a step forward
I don't care what happens
Maybe the time is now

This time, I'm taking a leap forward
Never knowing what happens
Come What may
Coz I was told that there is only now*

This time, I'm taking a step further
I'm suiting up against my fears
Just to make things clear
That I'm fed up with regret as a recurring nightmare

This time, I'm taking no steps further
Just to leave enough space for you to give a sign
And I'll be hopeful, faithful, wishing the laws of physics would conspire
As I suddenly perspire

Promise I didn't google you before this
Because I simply want to hear your little stories
Directly from your lips
And, besides, I'd rather think about infinite probable possibilities
Of hereditary permutations
In my daily reveries

This part, I'll raise the bar a notch up
I'll just sing my heart out
Muttering gibberish
Humming randomness
Coz I don't want to sound over-poetic
As I explain how i feel
I'd be sort of semi-lying, well-rehearsed and hyperreal
We really don't understand love anyway
And each time we listen to what it has to say
We go...

Coz I'm all up for it
And I think that we should try
As fireworks create an illusion of ripples in the sky
I'll cuss with asterisk and ampersand
And whatever results from ctrl+shift+alt commands
Coz I'm here to tell you that I am in awe of your elegance
I've seen you once but ever since my mind's been in a trance
My heart was a disaster ever-longing for a dance
Oh, pretty miss
Oh, dear, young miss
I believe I deserve this chance
According to my calculations
You also deserve this chance
And, finally, I can laugh myself to sleep now
Because at least I took my chance

Entropy (with Ronnie Badilla)

Maude - Takda

Beyond - Farewell Fair Weather

Remixed version of Leaving Soon by Yolanda Moon. 

Leaving Soon

Tell me that you're mine, or should I say it's time
For you to turn your habits into mine?
Will you stay in line, or will you say it's fine
Clouded doubts, they came in by design

So much more, what you waiting for?

What do I need to get with you baby?

LYRICS

Sa madilim na sulok dun ka lang nagmumukmok
Kamay ay nakadukot sa bulsa ng 'yong suot
Panyo mo ay hinugot, basa na at lukot-lukot
Puno ng luha mo

Kahapon lang nakita nakangiti at masaya
Mas maliwanag pa sa araw sinag ng mga mata
Ngunit pagsapit ng gabi walang tigil ang pagpatak
ng mga luha mo

Sa iyong paghihintay
Lumamig mga kamay
Nagmistulan ng bangkay
na nilimot na, 'di na maalala

Siya ang dapat na kasama mo
Ang magdadala sa 'yo diyo
Siya naman kasi'ng pinili mo
Bakit siya hindi na lang ako
Ba't ngayon 'di mo siya matanaw
Kung kailan dapat ka nang masayaw
Nangakong yayakapin ka pa raw
Bakit ngayon 'di man lang lumitaw

Sabi mo pa sa'kin, 'di ka iiyak
Luha mo'y 'di na papatak
Pwede bang ulitin, 'di na iiyak
Luha ko'y 'di na papatak

In Two

Tsong, de kalibre ang nabubuong pangungusap
Sa tuwing nababanggit ang palamuti mong pangalan
Talatang ito'y parang binuo ng malilikot na salitang
Nagbibiruang magkaibigan, nagpipikunan, nagkukulitang igan
Ikanga

'Lika nga dito ka sa king tabi
Tulad na tulad, palagi't palagi
Ale, matinding ale / ako'y nadale
Nakikiusap, nabubulol sa nais maipamahagi
'Lika nga dito wag magsarili
Kanina pa talaga nagtitimpi
Ale, ay sus di na bale
Dito at dito mananatili

'Tsong, de kalidad ang pintig ng bawat pantig na maliligalig at umiibig
Umaaligid patinig katinig halina't makinig
Sa sulating sa tingin ko ay sigurado nga at tiyak na tiyak na iyong mahihiligan

'Lika nga dine wag na mag-atubili
Damdamin, isipan na'y nayuyupi
Ale, ba't ganito parati
Pag-asa ko'y hinati't hinating kalahati
'Lika na nga dine wag na tumanggi
Utak bumbilya'y ubos na't pundi
Ale, lagut ka, ale
Ikaw ang tanging napili

HAHAHA the epic. pero yan hindi ko alam kung mas trip niyo pero eto dapat yung iuupload ko. yehey. tamang tanga lang. KSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKS

lyrics:

Mga gunitang hindi nag papatulog
Sa bawat hinga, ang bigat ng 
buga na parang nahuhulog
Pilit ko mang isara ang aking mata
saking pag higa ay dama ko ang
dahan-dahang pag ka lunod

Nilamon ng kumot at pagka yamot
gising ko na puso'y ano ang gamot
dalangin ng mulat at ng hibang
Isang mahimbing na pagkaka idlip man lang

Pilit mang gisingin ang diwa sa pag kaka tulog
Upang maka bangong muli sa munti kong bangungot
Di rin sapat ang yapos ng aking kumot
Para pag takpan ang hapdi ng lamig
Sa gabing tila nanunusok

Nilamon ng kumot at pag ka yamot
Ang gising ko na puso'y (ikaw) ang gamot
Ang dalangin ng isang tangang tigang
Isang (mahigpit) na pagkaka (hikbi) man lang

Muli ba akong hahalik sa pisngi ng umagang
wala ka uli saking tabi; sana'y ito ang huli
