love this... Soothingly smooth, thanks for this welcome new sound..

empty
such a pity for a pretty heart
aching
for the kind of love that leaves you lost
i’m not
the cure or what you’re looking for
all i
want is to be taken as i am, i’m not a book to be read

be bold and tell me 
what you really want from me, 
if you really do want me, 
say so

wake me
from my circumstantial lack of dreams
write me
all your pretty words and leave me be
i could have
learned to love the way you look at me
but i won’t let you
be so close enough to hear me breathe

be bold and tell me 
what you really want from me, 
if you really do want me, 
say so

i’m my own lighthouse
i glow my own way
if you can’t take that
then keep on sailing

be bold and tell me 
what you really want from me, 
if you really do want me, 
say so

say so

One Click Straight - Shakin'

Beyond - Farewell Fair Weather

i woke to find your ghost
folded amongst my drawers
on notes tucked in my books
are we still keeping score?

upon the brown brick walls
under the mango tree
we wrote our names in chalk
forgetting rain would bleed

you'd burrow into bed
you’d bury me in sheets
you’d dig my secrets up
and then uproot my grief

i drowned my love in waves
of honey chardonnay
i set my throat aflame
to never say your name

now I know I'm gliding down a tight rope
this train of thought is never gonna lead me home
when your breath blew over like a credo
it still echoes in my head when i'm alone

who would i be if i didn't know you
where would you be if i didn't leave you there
how did i pretend i didn't need you
how could you pretend you didn't see it

all the mile long walks
over blocks and blocks
what you're dreaming of
is what keeps me up

and when i close my eyes
i feel the void inside
i feel the great divide
wishing you were beside me

the great divide

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?

Summer

My 2nd composition about "the one who got away". Special thanks to Lara Maigue for sharing her talent and her time :)

Keyboard and male vocals are me.
On the trumpet is Neo Manosca. 

Muntikan Na

recorded in 1 take in a closet
when i was 13 i was in a guitar center trying out thinlines all day bc they were my fave guitar and the ja-90 came out and i really wanted it. i got something similar (and nicer) 8 years later and i named him benjamin. 

benjamin
dont let me forget that summer
benjamin
remind me that i can do better
benjamin
i have never been so glad to be afraid

benjamin
impulse just becomes decision way to quick for me to even know my limit
i've been staring at the signs but i could never read them
you're a language i could never comprehend
did you even think that i could ever have it in me
just to pack 2 bags and fly out to a monster city
every passing minute makes me feel more tiny and more glad to be alive
or just glad to be alive

there's a high from being miserable and jaded
finding sounding boards for all of your frustrations
you confirm your biggest fears to the most pragmatic ears
and them pretend that it could somehow make you safe
but when i am around you i am nervous screaming silently while scanning every detail of your face
all this fear that i will never really feel this way again
lights the fire that burns me into being brave

you're my fleeting summer fuck up
i'm your tropical mistake
i have never been more glad to be afraid

benjamin

Dito Lang

Hindi mapakali
Di makapahinga ang gising na damdamin
Sa lalim ng gabi
Tinig na naririnig, sadyang nagsasabing 

Hindi alam ang gagawin
Sa bukas na darating 
Hanggang kailan mananatiling mag-isa?

Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang
Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang

Ningning ng mga bituin
Liwanag ng gabi, sa buwan nanggagaling
Nais kong magising 
Nang 'di nag-iisa at ikaw ang kapiling

Kapit lang, giliw ko
Nandito lang naman ako
Paggising mo, hindi ka na mag-iisa
Wag mangamba 

Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang
Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang ako

Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang
Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang

Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang
Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang ako

Tulog na giliw ko
(Tulog na giliw ko)
Ako'y, nandito, laging nandito lang...

Dito Lang (Acoustic Version)

you can cleave my heart in two
and i won't wince, i wont blink
there’s just way too much to do
with dwindling time to stop and think

in my head, i’m burying my feet into the sand
a corner of the world i think you’d understand
weathered by the wind and war between the summer and the rain
all good things just seem to crumble in my hands

all my life i’ve wanted to punch holes into the night
city skies deprive you of the stars i know you like
a sea of taillights glow against the smog that breathes to life
if i spend a second idle i might lose my mind

in my head the path is clear and carved into the ground
nothing else to fear or talk or dance around
i am always on my toes, where it never snows
on the road
and helpless when it’s you i think about

draft 22

This song is about finding a home with someone, and it doesn't matter where you are as long as you're with them.
