Makalimutin

Naisip mo bang iniisip kita ngayon?
Naisip mo bang nakikinig ako sa 'yo?

At alam ko ang iyong kailangan
Ano ang gamit ng pag-aalala, pag-aalala

Pagka't ikaw ay makalimutin
Ngunit ako ay laging mahahanap mo rin
Ang liwanag sa bintana mo
Paalala sa pag-ibig ko

Naisip mo bang ikaw ay para lang sa akin?
Naisip mo bang hindi ka na mawawala sa aking piling, aking piling?

Oh, ikaw na ay malaya
Oh, anong patutunayan
Bumibilis ang ikot ng mundo
Ngunit ako'y hindi magbabago

So It's True

figured i'd take a break from ukulele (lmao it'll be back soon because i prefer four strings to six), and add some cello into a cover as well! someone wanted me to sing medicine by daughter but i prefer this song (sorry @ that person), but i hope you guys enjoy it!

surprise! here's another song, sorry i've been absent for a while. school ends soon for me so i'll be able to start uploading things a little more regularly :-) for now, hopefully, this suffices. i'm not 100% sure how to feel about it, i had no idea it would be four minutes long but wowie it was haha 

anyways, enjoy (or just listen and then never listen again, either is fine)

buy/support me :-)

please don't

it's been a long time coming, but here it is, i hope you all like it

chords: Dmin G C C7

lyrics:
i’m happy for you
i’m smiling for you
i’d do anything 
for you for you

it’s always for you
and never or me
i need it to stop 
so let me tell you please

i’m always sad
and i’m always lonely 
but i can’t tell you 
that i’m breaking slowly

closed doors
locked in, no keys
keeping my feelings hidden 
there is no ease

i need it to stop
and i want to be able
to open up but, 
my feelings are fatal
(my feelings are fatal)

how many times
must i keep it inside
i need to let go 
and i swear that i’ve tried

but opening up 
means trusting others
and that’s just too much, 
i don’t want to bother

so i’ll keep it inside 
and bury it deep
i know it’s not healthy 
but you won’t hear a peep

though i’m always sad
and i’m always lonely
i could never tell you
that i’m breaking slowly

closed doors
locked in, no keys
keeping my feelings hidden 
there is no ease

i need it to stop
and i want to be able
to open up but, 
my feelings are fatal
(my feelings are fatal)

something

buy it here!

feelings are fatal

la vie en rose

*lyrics + chords are below chunk of text

this was written for a creative project assigned in my race and mixed-race literature english seminar. the premise of the song has to do with the struggle that mixed-race people undergo in their lives, specifically wondering if they'll ever truly find a place for themselves in the world and in doing so learn to "fly" or become comfortable with their identity. the song is based off the book "caucasia" by danzy senna which is an excellent read, i highly recommend it, and written from the protagonist's (birdie) perspective. i hope you enjoy! it's a lil different than past songs.

Chords: 
Am, C, F, F for Chorus/Verses *There's a Dm instead of the second F chord for the starred portion.
Am, C, D, D for the Bridge

[Chorus/Intro]
My name is Birdie
But I barely know how to fly
I am lost in a place
I don’t know how to describe

[Verses]
It’s like I live between two worlds
There’s nothing in the middle for me
I keep trying to side with one
But it’s so hard to just try and be

Nobody sees me the way that i want them to
My inner perception changes 
And i can’t seem to break through

I can’t seem to exist without
Another validating who I am
My face is jumbled 
Reflections crumble
Until i feel a damn sham

[Chorus]
My name is Birdie
And I’m trying to learn how to fly
I am here in a place
I don’t know how to describe

[Verse]
I’ve been so many things
And too little of others
I live between planes
Exist between mother and father

[Bridge]
But there’s Cole
She’s my rock
Speaking Elemeno tones
Without a clock

I felt free with her
Like I could be with her
But our time was cut so short

Now I wanna be with her
Yeah, I wanna go see her
I’ve got eyes on me though it’d be the last resort 

[Chorus]
My name is Birdie
I need to know myself before I fly
I live in a place
Other’s wouldn’t be able to describe

But I know I’m not alone
I know there’s more than one place to call home
Whether it’s people
Or a place it’s all equal… to me

[Interlude]
When you don’t have a home
Or a place to call your own
When you don’t have a home
Or a place to call your own

[Chorus/Outro]
My name is Birdie
I’m barely learning to fly
I live in a place
Some other’s might be able to describe

I know i’m not alone
I know there’s more than one place to call home
Whether it’s people
Or a place it’s all equal

To me

buy!

PIGGYBACK Lyrics
I was three years old
All I wanted was the music and
My parents were doing everything they could
To move away from our place working over time always
While I sat up in my grandma's project building coloring

Ooh
Moved to a small town and 
Started to started to grow
Poetry written I’m singing and dancing
Ooh
Photographs painting cartoons 
That's all I know
That's all I know

I have one best friend to this very fucking day
Since we were five years old and I fucking moved away
I wish I never did cause she’s the only one who sees me for who I really am instead of how many I reach

Ooh 
Trusted too many fake people while I was still young
Gave them the benefit of the doubt 
I was so wrong
I cut them off and they came for blood cause they know
They ain't getting no more

I’m so done with playing piggy back Ooh
Swear to god I wished y’all all the best Ooh
You’re lying your way to try and gain a piece of me when you could never come close cause I know my destiny
I worked hard for my shit
Put my love in this shit
Now you’re trying to kill my name for some fame
What is this
tried to help you do your shit
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

Now I’m 22 and I've had a crazy year of
Isolation from all the plastic people here 
I can not wait for the day I can finally move away back to New York city where the realest people really stay

Ooh
Spent this whole time writing away my heart and my soul
The people I surround myself with have hearts filled with gold
Love and empathy are things that we hold so close 
Trying to learn and evolve

I’m so done with playing piggy back Ooh
Swear to god I wished y’all all the best Ooh
You’re lying your way to try and gain a piece of me 
when you could never come close cause I know my destiny
I worked hard for my shit
Put my love in this shit
Now you’re trying to kill my name for some fame
What is this
Tried to help you do your shit
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

I’m so done with playing piggy back
Ooh
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best
Ooh
You're lying your way to try and gain a piece of me 
when you could never come close cause I know my destiny
