호시 (HOSHI) - 호랑이 (Feat. Tiger JK)

OKAY. SO. Archangel's Viper by Nalini Singh was just released last week and one particular line in the book had me like "hey, this would make a good inspiration for a song". I went to revisit that particular line a few days after I finished reading the book, and for sure it sang to me. So I picked up my guitar and just wrote the whole song in one day.

You don't have to know the books to listen to this song as it's a tribute to Holly and how, despite all the horrible things she's been through, she chose to live. Basically the theme I had going on for this is hopefulness, and I hope I was able to deliver. :)

BUT YES, lyrics below (the description box doesn't seem like an appropriate place for everything I want to say, so I'll save the rest for a blog post):

Holly's Song (Ode to Mia)

Here we are, standing at the crossroads
Saying goodbye with tears in our eyes
As I let go of your hand

Now it's time for us to go our own separate ways
As you choose your path, and I try to forge my own

'cause I won't steal your dreams because of my nightmares
I won't let your light dim to comfort my darkness
I need to find myself
And when I do, I promise you
I'll get better and I will find you
So wait for me, I will find you

I will rise to be more than an echo of myself
And leave my past drenched in sorrow
I'd sooner embrace the unknown
If it means I'd get a chance at a life
Untainted by madness, the thing that sleeps in my blood

I'm on my way, don't worry I'll find my way
When the time comes that you see me again
I'll have a true smile on my face

'cause I'll no longer be bound by my nightmares
I'll soon walk a path in the light
I will find myself
Until I do, I promise you
I'll get better and I will find you
So wait for me, I'll find you

Holly’s Song (A Promise)

tangina, di ko akalaing makikita ka
kakaiba talaga ang tadhana
masakit pa rin palang makita ang kislap 
ng iyong mga mata nang dahil sa iba

pasensya na, di ko mapigilan ang titigan ka
kakaiba, di ko halos kilala
masakit pa rin palang malaman
na hindi ako kasing saya pero pwede na

wag na lang isipin na ikaw pa rin
ang himig na sinta

di naman na ko umaasa pa
ayos lang sakin na wala na pero bakit ganon
ba't hanggang ngayon 
hindi maiwasang sayo'y lumingon
ang akin lang, sayang ng ginugol kong
panahong dapat sa sarili ko na lang itinuon
sa halip magtanong 
kung bakit hindi ka man lang lumingon
sana man lang nagawang lumingon

lang hiya, di pa rin sanay na nakikita kang
may ngiti't di ako ang kasama
masakit pa rin pala ang pag-alala
ng pagtawa ko noon nang dahil sa iyo

wag na lang isipin na ikaw na rin
ang hinahanap niya

ang akin lang, sayang ng ginugol kong
panahong dapat sa sarili ko na lang itinuon
sa halip magtanong 
kung bakit hindi ka man lang lumingon
di naman na ko umaasa pa
ayos lang sakin na wala na pero bakit ganon
ba't hanggang ngayon 
hindi maiwasang sayo'y lumingon

tangina, di ko akalaing makikita ka
kung pwede lang ba sana'y umalis ka na
kung pwede lang ba sana'y di na lilingon pa

di naman na ko umaasa pa
ayos lang sakin na wala na pero bakit ganon
ba't hanggang ngayon 
hindi maiwasang sayo'y lumingon
ang akin lang, sayang ng ginugol kong
panahong dapat sa sarili ko na lang itinuon
sa halip magtanong 
kung bakit hindi ka man lang lumingon
sana man lang nagawang lumingon
palagi't palaging sayo'y lilingon

I love Zen. I really really love Zen

I haven't said hi to a stranger in little over five months now
With you looking like that I'm in danger
Might wanna tone down on the eyes 
See, my last kiss ain't the best, take a guess
Doesn't take take a genius to figure I was a mess
I've been working on me but there's not much progress
So when you take my hand I gotta say I'm a little bit breathless

I'm in the middle of a wreckage
Heart is missing somewhere in the dark
Do you really wanna do this
You're not the type to put up with my sh—
See you're really kinda gorgeous
Are you really sure your eyes are working right
Do you really see me
Can you really see me

I don't make a habit of talking to strangers
That kind of thing hardly ever works out but
Something bout you made my knees go weak
Oh—I should stop before you get freaked out
In the past weeks it just got better, I don't see why you're so worked up, no
Yeah it's funny and sad, but I like it
So if I take your hand I hope that's it's clear that I'm not being reckless

You're quite the pretty wreckage
It seems your heart has been kept in the dark
But I really wanna do this
I'm ready to put up with all your sh—
See you're really kinda gorgeous
It's easier than breathing here with you
And I really wanna see you
Yes I really wanna see you

Zen (Really)

I also really really love Yoosung

I never believed in circumstances or second chances
I'm not one to lay it all on the line
So you coming at just the right moment
Is nothing short of a miracle
Don't it amaze me, you got me changing so easy

I see you
Right here with me and I can't breathe
I don't think I've ever been this happy
I've come so far from where I began
The clearest that my eyes have ever been
And I can't believe that I didn't dream it
Right now your hands make the only sense
Right here I see, the one thing I need
Is happiness smiling in front of me

Before you I knew I'd given up
I couldn't trust myself with the choices I made
I lived every day just like the last
And you come in, just like that, erasing the sadness
I thought it was madness
But yes still amaze me, 
you've got me locked down so easy

I see you
Right here with me and I can't breathe
I don't think I've ever been this happy
I've come so far from where I began
The clearest that my eyes have ever been
And I can't believe that I didn't dream it
Right now your hands make the only sense
Right here I see, the one thing I need
Is happiness smiling in front of me

I See You (With Me)

A Yoo-Song for Yoosung

Ends In Rain (Reboot)

Do all people already know
The answers that I don't
Why do the seams
always all come undone at once

Some days are harder than others
and Mama says I shouldn't cry
So I look up
to a blurry image of the sky

Dad said for there to be light
there must be dark
It's just how the world keeps turning
around and round the light
Now gone

Well done again my friend
Even if no one
can tell you how lucky you've been
I need you to know
Well done again my friend
