What Lies Behind

Verse 1:
And now I write as I lay
Wondering why we’re here tonight                                                                                                                        
There’s something missing inside
My smile went away for a while
 
Verse 2:
It’s getting colder and colder
Whenever I think that you hold her
You tell me things I wanna hear
But that’s not enough cuz you won’t stay here
 
Chorus 1:
Oh please tell me what lies behind those lines
You can tell me what’s going on your mind
If this is wrong then I just want to
 
Verse 3:
We kissed and missed our forever
You think this isn’t over
But you tell me that you love her
Oh what the hell
 
Chorus 2:
Oh please tell me what lies behind those lines
You can tell me what’s going on your mind
If this is wrong then I just want to
If this is wrong then I just wanna get by
If this is wrong then I just wanna let go
 
I just wanna let you go and see you smile


What Lies Behind

"Fools"

First official single

Self Produced
Artwork by the talented Rachel Halili
http://rachelhalili.tumblr.com/

Eventually we'll fall asleep, and dream about these past three weeks,
Or lie awake and dedicate, our thoughts to finding what it means,
But when it is all said and done,
I can't think of anyone else,

Nothing is just as it seems, at least that what it seems to me,
And everybody has a path, but some will walk reluctantly,
Well you can throw your map away, 
Cause I'll be here another day or two

Hope will take its toll
And ignite your soul

 We were told as we grow old, that one day we would find ourselves,
But as we aged, everything changed, and we were locked by different spells,
Well love is such an abstract art, 
And we each have a different part to play

They will find that overtime, that they can't help but play along
And as we wait they hesitate, for fear that something may go wrong,
But when the smoke has finally cleared,
Things are not just as they appeared,

Hope will take its toll
And Ignite your soul 


Fools

Lyrics:

I'm losing myself
Every time, you're around
Feel so high
When you said "hi"
I feel like I could fly

Hallucinating (hallucinating)
I am Fantasizing (fantasizing)
Birds are all chirping (are all chirping)
My heart is singing

I feel like I'm on drugs when I'm with you
(I feel like flying high when I'm with you)
I feel like I'm on drugs when I'm with you
(I feel like flying high when I'm with you)

My head won't stop spinning
Pupils dilating
Step inside of my spaceship
And give me a head-trip

Hallucinating (hallucinating)
I am fantasizing (fantasizing)
Birds are all chirping (are all chirping)
My heart is singing

I feel like I'm on drugs when I'm with you
(I feel like flying high when I'm with you)
I feel like I'm on drugs when I'm with you
(I feel like flying high when I'm with you)

I Feel Like I'm On Drugs

(final track, Karma Zero EP)

I just wanna slow down,
I just wanna slow down with you,
feel the world twisting like a tourniquet
'til we don't feel anything anymore—
we won't even breathe,

'cause if we breathe we might start an avalanche,
and every move the consequence could be tectonic,
every ripple, every echo that led us to each other
can be traced through causality,
can be broken by us—

slow down, I just wanna slow down with you,
feel the world twisting like a tourniquet
'til we don't feel anything anymore,
until we forget what we slowed down for,
we won't even breathe

Tectonic

Kai Honasan’s “I Should’ve Left” seems intent on pursuing an emotional imprint that moves beyond the quirky, ukulele-driven confessionals that have always been her trademark. Few minutes into the song, Kai makes us curl up in a ball of agonizing regret, rendering a sentimental folk-pop ballad for anxious, sleepless nights spent trying to get over an ex-lover.

 There’s no room for elaborate arrangements that call for attention, no hint of heavy-handed brood for the sake of drama. Even when Kai wants us to feel her pain, she carries in tow the laid-back airy vocals that complement the quiet , rainy-day mood served at the balcony of her window—subdued minus the unnecessary sappiness. It’s a striptease of what to expect from someone ready to chop off her hair and try something new and vulnerably daring, if not a completely departure from her safety net. We’re definitely sold.

Pasikat (Live at UP Music Circle's Tambayan Sessions)

You've given up on this
I've given up on love
You bought a ticket to the exit
While I bought a key away from you heart

I'm here lying down
Resting my tired and weary heart
Photographs of us covered in dust
I wonder where you are
Wondering where we went

I guess it's time to leave it all
I guess that I was wrong

I said we'll go far
But now I don't even give a fuck calling you out
Paintings on the wall
Were they yours?
I can't recall. But thanks.
Cause you were never always there

I guess it's time to leave it all
You took my heart with a grain of salt
I thought that I could wait no matter how long
I guess that I was wrong

I Was Wrong

I'm at the beach and I'm all alone, ooh
Sand fills the gap in my toes, ooh
Where the wind blows, no one really knows, ooh
Forgot how it is so tell me how it goes

Under the night sky
Feeling the breeze against my skin
Under the moonlight
Ooh

I wish that you are here with me
Feeling the waves again
Pretend to be who we want to be
All over again

These faces can't compare to you
The feeling I get when I am with you
Why'd you leave and make me feel that I was wrong to fall for you
Now I regret I've ever felt this way

The city lights don't help how I feel, ooh
Counting the days 'till I feel those waves again
I crash in my bed and wish that I forget you
Forget you

Forget You

Drunken words fill my mind
My eyes are tired from these lights
I'm far from home but I don't mind

Those hands don't seem to move
How long has it been?
How long have you been gone?
It's fine, I'm moving on

Say that you are for me too
Cause I don't know what it feels like to be without you
I'm falling heavy now
I'm falling to the ground

It's morning now
But the pain still remains
You're gone
And what's in store for me?

These bottles don't seem to drown all these thoughts inside my head
Unanswered questions to the things that you've said
Someday you'll be right here on my bed

The Morning

today i saw your little ring hiding in the sand
i put in in a canary cup to put it in your hand
before you walked away 
your little crochet hat unraveled and you sang
that's why i'll never pass by lou's coffee shop
or speak of it again

woo!

you don't have to apologize because i don't write cards each year
there are some things i'll learn to accept
and some i'll learn to fear
so go walk away 
i'll pop some champagne 
bottoms up while i can
that's why i'll never pass by lou's coffee shop
or speak of it again

Lyrics:

Baby, we could go all the way
I could spend everyday
Wasting time with you
I don't think you realize
what you mean to me

Come closer
Let me whisper
These words to you
Before the night ends
And we go our separate ways

I want this ooooh
I need this ooooh
Tell me, do you too?
Oh tell me, do you too?

Baby, let me feel your hand
Do you now understand
What you are to me
And how I feel about everything
You and I could be

Come closer
I want you near me
I need you to show me how you feel
Before it gets too late




Do You Too?

Josephine has never been in love. 
you can see that fake smile on her face. 
quit the stupid questions. 
her so called fiends play on her 
and it's all over... 

coz she cries. 
yes she does. 
obviously. 
and desperately 
escaping reality 

run away Josephine! Save yourself! 
run away Josephine! Save yourself! 

Josephine your heart's like serpentine. 
with every desire, there's sparks of fire. 
in all that hatred you find atonement 
and I can't really blame you... 

if you cry. 
coz I cry too. 
isn't it funny? 
how come all the things just end up like our deja vus 

and I know that there is too much that is to be loved in this world! 
I believe in you, 
Josephine I do.

josephine

A song about finding meaning

LYRICS:
Panahon
May mga sikretong binubulong
Kung lumipas na ba
Takdang oras na nakalaan

Sa atin
At parang ihip lang ng hangin
Tayo’y lilisan din
At kailanma’y di maiintindihan

Bakit pilit inaagaw
Ng tadhana ang bukas na tinatanaw
Kung ang buhay ay byaheng balikan
Bakit papunta pa lang ito’y tutuldukan

Ano kayang dahilan?

Panahon
Kay bilis lang minsan na di natin
Namamalayang nasayang
Oras natin sa paghihintay

Sa magpakailanman
At kapag ating naintindihan
Huli na ang lahat
Kaya’t sulitin ang bawat pagkakataon

Kahit pilit aagawin
Ng tadhana ang landas na tatahakin
Wag kang matakot
Mundo ay umiikot
Anumang kalabasan ng kinabukasan

Lahat ng bagay may dahilan

Awitin natin, sa mga bituin
Na ang kalangitan ay magpahiwatig sa atin
Ng liwanag, kanyang kaalaman
Na ang lahat ng bagay ay may dahilan

Lahat ng bagay, may dahilan


Dahilan
