****

I’ll sink slowly into cement, running round the city square
I’ve always felt a little different, now I can breath in the anger on the dirty air
grubby beauty blocked out by streets and time
painted their slogans on the silhouette of my skyline

It is not enough to be quiet on the train back home
A change is gonna come, our country’s mind can’t stay this closed

Enter the decade fearing failing and our heart starts beating in time
with the white noise and the ranting and raving, their official party line
we must respond we need a fight, decide how the destitute will survive and then die

So wipe that shit-eating grin off your punchable face
these people are human beings that you’ll destroy and displace
when you sit in Kirribilli House and there’s no one else around do you know just to keep your job you’re putting bodies in the ground 
drowning refugees at sea, kiss babies screaming vote for me
I’ll take you to the future via the 1950s 

Were we supposed to feel hope when you said you’d stop the boats?
cause that’s some fucking evil shit, politicizing killing kids, drip feeding fear into our brains, new leader clearly insane
gonna change the culture in our cultured minds
start a war with an alibi we can justify


Wipe That Shit-Eating Grin Off Your Punchable Face

so tell me this is who you are
they tell me ive got something more
and oh you could be loved
but i dont want the lights to find me when im dark and lost
but never on my own

cos i just wanna swing like sinatra
singing like i cant stop
cos i could never rock like a rolling stone
i just wanna live like the ones before
and maybe i could play guitar like hendrix
or save the world or end it
and then maybe youll remember me when im gone
thats all i could ever want
thats all i want

so i got ten minutes to be all or nothing to
whoever wants to hear
and i got ten weeks of talking bullshit on repeat till im burnt out and disappear
but i owe you nothing
and i own my luck
oh they said youll never be alone again
but i dont think you understand me or what i fear
but you could be loved
but i dont want to lie to tell myself
im more than all the mistakes ive out run

cos im only here for a minute
and i dont care what you say cos i know
youre only here cos im winning
but i can be my own kind of rock and roll like
i dont really care if you say you dont fuck with me
and i can say what the fuck i want cos its down to me
and i got love for you even if you are doubting me
like oh my god i just cant stop

cos i just wanna sing like sinatra
with ethanol my soundtrack
cos i could never rock like a rolling stone
i wonder how it feels to burn out young
cos i just wanna die before my heart fails
from heartbreak or cocktails and
then maybe youll cry once you know im gone
thats all i could ever want
oh thats all i want

cos i aint scared of living
i aint scared of living
no i aint scared of living
cos its all weve got
what are we breathing for if we aint living
and i dont want your love
i just want to feel like im still living
and if there is no god
ill know the day i die i lived through heaven
and that i gave it hell
and if it hurt oh well at least thats living

thats all i want

sex drugs and rock and roll thats all i want
whats under the words you know thats all i want
something more than superficial is all i want
sex drugs and rock and roll thats all i want

/i aint scared of living.

i think you think too much of me

rock + roll

marlboro black // because
mixed and mastered by: FTD

lyrics//
"masama ka sakin, masaya ako sayo.
kaya bakit pa natin ipapipilitan ang hindi pwede?"
sambit mo sakin pagtapos mong hithitin ang dulo ng 'yong sigarilyo.
magkahawak ang kamay, ngunit di mahigpit
at nagaantay nalang na isa satin ang bumiitaw
kapalaran na siguro nating masaktan
"masaya ka sakin, masama ako sayo."
ngunit ubos na ang lahat, upos nalang ang natira.


tatlong araw na tayong di nag uusap/
ni isa saatin dalawa'y 'lang balak makiusap/
alam nating pareho tayong nagkulang/
at ang tayo'y 'la na ring patutunguan/
ngayon bakit nga ba tayo nagkita/
nakalimutan na't tila/
balak nating mag ayos ang lalo sating nagpasira/
diba sabi mo noon, kung tayong dalawa'y maghiwalay
ay magkikita rin sa tamang panahon/
ngayon aking napaisip, papano kung ganon/
kung tayong nga talagang dalawa'y bakit pa tayo
dapat na maghiwalay ngayon/
kung ganon magbiro ang tadhana
ay dapat, alam nyang 'la kong oras makipag biruan ngayon/
wag mo na kong kulitin pa/
wag ka na ring sumagot kung sakaling kulitin ka/
kung magkasalubong wag na natin pansinin/
ang isa't isat pagkalito'y wag ng kunsintihin pa/ 

hook:
dahil, hindi ko kayang maging kung sinong gusto mo
ibigay kung anong gusto mo
ibigay anong nararapat sayo, mahal kita, pero tama na

dahil, hindi mo kayang maging kung sinong gusto ko
ibigay kung anong gusto ko
ibigay anong nararapat saatin dahil di na natin kaya

wag ng pilitin kahit pwede/
isipin ang sarili't wag na satin dumepende/
mas mahina na nga tayo sa sakiting nagkadengue/
la tayong magagamot kung pareho tayong pasyente/
hindi mo ko kaylangan, at ganun ka rin sakin/
libro ng istorya nating dalawa'y sa simula lang kaaya ayang basahain/
sumaya na tayo dati, limot natin ang pasanin/
talagang dapat mong asahan ang di mo aakalain/
ba't ba tayo naniwala/
pagmamahalan natin dati pa'y di alintanta/
ngayon dapat na limutin na ang ating ala ala/
kaylangan na magbura para matuto tayo lalo parang sulat sa pisara/
wag mo na kong tanungin pa/
masasaktan ka parin kahit aking saluhin ka/
panandaliang marka lang to satin parang henna/
pansamantalang pagmamahal di dapat ikadena/

hook:
dahil, hindi ko kayang maging kung sinong gusto mo
ibigay kung anong gusto mo
ibigay anong nararapat sayo, mahal kita, pero tama na

dahil, hindi mo kayang maging kung sinong gusto ko
ibigay kung anong gusto ko
ibigay anong nararapat saatin dahil di na natin kaya

PESANTE (Single) 🌾
Music and Lyrics: Khryss Arañas
Arranged and mastered by Pordalab and Musika Publiko

OUT ON ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS
https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/khryssaraas/pesante

"Pesante" is a song written by Khryss Arañas last October 2018 for the celebration of the Peasant Month. The song expresses the current condition of Filipino farmers suffering under our semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Since the day it was written, "Pesante" has been performed in various mass demonstrations, cultural activities, gatherings, and other activities that advocate for peasants' rights.

Filipino farmers are facing great a crisis due to their economic and political standing. Under the current administration, 242 farmers have been killed. In Bicol, KARAPATAN-Bicol has recorded 63 Bicolanos as victims of extrajudicial killings, 34 of which are farmers. The intensifying military presence in Bicol under Memorandum Order 32 contributes to the continuous killings perpetuated by the current regime. 

Our farmers are being killed not just by bullets but also of hunger. The passage of the Rice Liberalization Law by Cynthia Villar has paved the way for more farmer's landlessness due to farmers being forced to sell what little land they have to alleviate the effects of retarded economic system and anti-poor government policies. Read more about our farmers on Project Pesante's FB page: facebook.com/ProjectPesante

Almost a year after the song was made, raw guitar stem and vocals were finally recorded thanks to Hanina Britanico. It was enhanced, mastered, and arranged by Pordalab and Musika Publiko.
