I Wouldn't Mind

im in my childhood country but i dont remember what happened here
up until i was six even then i 
depend on pictures to tell me if
what i went through was real

but i know i dreamt of being older
and living out all my dreams
like ending world hunger or at least starring in some big theater play
i mean, i still dream of doing it all today

who wouldve thought i'd be me now
kinda sad it'll go to waste

cause the worlds gonna be so bad when im older
dont need to be psychic to know that
must be why i like movies from the 2000s
so my eyes are only ever looking back

if i hear "you've got potential" one more goddamn time, i'm gonna scream
they tell me i've got time, i think they mean: sentence to pay, then ask me
where do i see myself in five years from today

god, can i just be my best self now
or else it's all gonna go to waste

cause the worlds gonna be so bad when im older
dont need to be psychic to know that
everyday something crashes, only leading to the planet's inevitable collapse

there was some anticommunist prop in the bookstore
read a book or be judged by the good lord
(lord) if your plans for me are apocalypse when i'm 20, then i don't want it 
daily spams from an anti-vax auntie
telling me what the chemicals will make me
i'm betting on her word i'll be a robot hybrid by 2030
people say it's been a different world lately,
as if it even changed at all since the 40's
then we say "take me back", crying laughs, watch the daily death on a screen
watch it all die on a screen
watch them all die from our screens
watch the world die from our screens
i watch it all die
die die die die die

not saying there's no reason for living
but things will go to waste someday

is the world even gonna be there when i'm older
i'd be more scared if the answer's yes
cause that means doing something about the state of things
and i'm really not up for doing all that
but i'll roll up my sleeves

so bad when I'm older - Japanese Surplus

magbibigte na ako
pasensya na
dun saaking kwarto
wala nang tao
di ko na masabe 
na mahal kita
sana'y iwanan mona
ang nakaraang nagiba

miss kona ang sarili ko
pagmulat ng aking mata
sana bumalik 
kung saan kaya kopa

Bury Cat in the Garden - gusto ko lang naman ng yakap putangina

lyrics:
alam mo bang hindi 
nakatulog kagabi? 
sa kaiisip ng
matalino street siguro
tayo nagmeet 
kailan ba mauulit?

alam mo bang hindi
nakakain ang hikbi? 
muli nang managinip
at tayo'y tutungo 
sa qc o dulo
ng iyong trip
kailan ba mangyayari?

tahan na
'wag mangamba	
mow's, hindi nga?

alam mo bang hindi
matatapos ang gabi?
kung 'di ka makapiling sa
kowloon house
in thoughts and sounds
we'll cross our hearts
tayo lang palagi

akin ka
'gang umaga
sa que ave na
ang end sinta
mow's, hindi nga?

alam mo ba (mow's, hindi nga?)

di na namamansin c idol😱

you were my whole fucking world
for one second
granted, i didn’t let you know
not directly

but you couldn’t read the signs
you had so many chances
i had so many chances
but we never crossed the line
yeah and now i regret it
oh i so regret it

and how can you act like
i’m nobody?
still think about you sometimes
so save me the shame and think about me too

kinda sad, i still search for you in pictures
feels like i'll point u out in crowds for forever

and we're not competing
but if we were
i'd be an olympian
you'd be caught dead slacking off

maybe you could try catching up
but it’s not like u want to
pathetic, i still want you to

c’mon man, spare me a thought
you know that i still exist, right?
love to know if i still cross your mind

you had so many chances
i had so many chances
is it delusion
if you said you loved me too?

you know i still that exist right?
love to know if i’m still on your mind
even though, i'd do nothing
knowing the insanity was mutual would satisfy

and how can you act like
i’m nobody? 
still think about you sometimes

would it be so insane?
no way it was just me
so save me the shame

 and think about me... too

save me the shame - Japanese Surplus

“may multo ka mang dinadala
sa iyong mga bulsa
wala akong pakialam,
ako’y kakalabit sa bawat sulok nila
sasamahan kita sa pagbuhat
ng bigat sa ‘yong balikat

hindi ako takot na mahalin ka”

pang ilang buhay ko na ba ito?
‘di ko na mabilang 
ang mga taong dumaan
at piniling hindi ako tignan

ngunit ika’y sakin lumapit
dahan-dahang hinaplos
ang tela kong kupas
at nagiwan ng bulong: 

“may multo ka mang dinadala
sa iyong mga bulsa
wala akong pakialam,
ako’y kakalabit sa bawat sulok nila 
sasamahan kita sa pagbuhat
ng bigat sa ‘yong balikat

hindi ako takot na mahalin ka”

ilan na ba ang pinatay nito?
(nakaka sindak na pag-ibig)
walang kapalit na presyo
madugo’ng aking pinagdaanan
(sa ilalim ng manggas)
may libo-libong galos

at sa lalim ng gabi
may hiling na may makatabi
na hindi tatakbo, ‘di magtatago
‘di pipikit sa kaluluwa na dala ko

at sa isang iglap ika’y dumating
dala ang iyong kasilakan
iyong panata, “di pakikinggan ang
mga husga mula sa kanino man”

“may multo ka mang dinadala
sa iyong mga bulsa
wala akong pakialam,
ako’y kakalabit sa bawat sulok nila 
sasamahan kita sa pagbuhat
ng bigat sa ‘yong balikat

hindi ako takot na mahalin ka”

Halika Na(Halikan Na!)

sunlight used to be in my eyes
until they brought me down 
and started raining, raining
raining on me
everything used to be
so simple and true
it was always about 
always, always
always about me and you

so tell me how do i forget
all the stories we have shared
to each other
why do they bother

cause loving you
is just a dream 
i wouldn't want to wake up from
cause loving you
is the greatest risk I've ever taken
cause loving you
is something they would never understand

yes i do believe 
i do believe in wishing upon a star
i talk to them at night and say
please lead me, lead me
lead me to where things used to be

You’re not the only one I’ve been absent from

And you go on about how what I figured out was wrong
Because it wasn’t part of your plan all along

Why do you make me feel so bad
If you want me to come back

All I know I wouldn’t ask of you what you wouldn’t do for me

So many streets and only one of me
We're drowning in a big city and there's only one of me

Manila's a Trap

you with your headphones on 
i thought i saw
some trace of january's warmth 
on your favorite t-shirt

how it made me wonder why 
you never swing by 
anymore
by my door

you and your tired eyes
now i see in pictures
has it really been this while
since i held you close to me

oh these things are changing fast
some never really last
it happens all the time 
and you've got to make yourself feel fine
