with Alden Abaca on drums and Karel Honasan on bass, this song was re-recorded from a college thesis I had made an original score for, some couple of years ago. Now released under the Dakila Artist Collective album to promote awareness on Climate Change, I hope you support the cause as well.

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

log out of your parents’ netflix
on my living room television
maybe it’s time 
that we address the elephant
it’s obvious
that you're thinking bout leaving
but I’m already healing 
cause you're good at letting people down easy

but breaking up’s supposed to be hard
i shouldn’t have to break my own heart
just because you couldn’t do your part   

but i can’t stay mad
cuz you’re way too good at empathy
please take back
every compliment you said to me
talk your trash 
& treat me disrespectfully 
i’m not gonna make you
but i would love a reason to hate you

took it better than expected
woke up in this empty tempurpedic
used to catch you dreaming now
all that’s left is memories
i’m positive
that you’re laying next to someone new
that’s what you’re supposed to do
but why isn’t it making me uneasy?

cause breaking up’s supposed to be hard
I shouldn’t have to break my own heart
just because you couldn’t do your part   

but i can’t stay mad
cuz you’re way too good at empathy
please take back
every compliment you said to me
talk your trash 
& treat me disrespectfully 
i’m not gonna make you
but i would love a reason to hate you

(love) a reason to hate you

Funeral - Patrick - Memorial Song

you
i saw your face in june
you didn't have a clue of my infatuation

clues that i gave out to you
you took my bait it seemed so easy
you've made it very easy

did i ever expect to get out of my recent wreck?
will we ever expect to get out of our recent wreck?

i did not expect a response
from a girl of distance and 
an obedience to my affectations

did you ever expect to get out of your recent wreck?
will we ever expect to get out of our recent wreck?

please, tell me about your day.

Lyrics: 

VERSE 1

I fidget in my seat when you begin appearing
Your black frames make you so endearing
If you want the truth, I just really really want 
To stare at you while I pretend to like the boy beside you

But then I know you're with this pretty girl
You're single but unavailable
So I have to shut my mouth and be discreet
But I still think you're neat, and sweet

To eat some cupcakes with you after class
I'd ask you but I'd hate to seem so awfully fast
And you're on the phone again
Calling up your very very special friend
Who'll never be me

CHORUS

Boy, I think we'd look good together 
I'd share you my umbrella in the stormy weather
We'll march inside the classroom causing quite a stir
How could an ugly girl get such a handsome man beside her?

Be my trophy boy, while you have an affair
Go frolic with your girl at night, I'm ready to share
I shouldn't care so much, because all I could do 
Wait for another trophy boy who's so much cuter than you

VERSE 2

I wish that I could rest my chin upon your manly shoulders
Tell you all about my day and bug you over and over
But I know you're with this really pretty girl
Cause you're so single but so unavailable (seriously, wtf)

Oh you look so good when you're writing things down
Imagine all the things we'd do if we could shake up this town
Together, on the phone again
Calling up your very very special friend
Who'll never ever be me

CHORUS 

Oh boy,  I think we'd look good together
I'd share you my umbrella in the stormy weather
We'll march inside the classroom causing quite a stir
How could an ugly girl get such a handsome man beside her

Be my trophy boy, while you have an affair
Go frolic with your girl at night, I'm ready to share
I shouldn't care so much, because all I could do 
Wait for another trophy boy who's so much cuter than you

BRIDGE

Oh I'll never get to say hello
Because a girl isn't supposed to show
Just how much she thinks about a boy
Who doesn't even know 
She's sitting in the back row
Watching

And as psycho as this seems to be
I'm not asking for too much, please agree
I just want to be friends with you
Go down the stairs with you
I'm perfectly content with small talk

CHORUS

is this how it ends?
is this how it starts?
when you love somebody while they’re fallin’ apart
love somebody while they’re fallin’ apart

don’t know where it leads
don’t know if you know
when to keep on holdin’ tight instead of letting go
keep on holdin’ tight instead of letting go

but you gotta come home
(come back baby, come back first)
you gotta come home first
(come back baby, even if it hurts)
cuz there’s a million other things we could do in the world
there’s a million other things we could do in the world
so come home
(come back baby, come back first)
even though it may hurt
(come back baby, even if it hurts)
cuz there’s a million other things we could do in the world
there’s a million other things we could do in the world

remember the night
even though we were sad
that we cried so hard that we started to laugh
cried so hard that we started to laugh

when we got on a plane
going out to a show
and when we got to calgary got to see the first snow
got to calgary got to see the first snow

things will always change
now tell me are you tough
can you love somebody while you pick yourself up
love somebody while you pick yourself up

but you gotta come home
(come back baby, come back first)
you gotta come home first
(come back baby, even if it hurts)
cuz there’s a million other things we could do in the world
there’s a million other things we could do in the world
so come home
(come back baby, come back first)
even though it may hurt
(come back baby, even if it hurts)
cuz there’s a million other things we could do in the world
there’s a million other things we could do in the world

There's no one new around you.

1. Right Place, Right Time

“RPRT is our anthem for forgiveness and heartbreak. It recollects a period in my life where I was deeply in love with an individual that, simply put, didn't feel the same way about me. I spent so much time, energy, and thoughts into resenting this girl and whoever she wound up with. This song is about the introspective dialog of predicting/hoping for the perfect time and place to communicate my apologies and best wishes. Letting go is ultimately the only answer in order to move on.”

Used to worship the ground that you walked
I can’t hear, but I see you talking
On my flaws of my error
But I couldn’t seem to care

And I watched as you slipped away
Those last words that I heard you say
It’s not you, it’s me
But I’m sure not buying it

In the right place at the right time and I try to say
I won’t hate you anymore
In the palisades of a better time and I try to say
I won’t hate you anymore
I won’t hate you anymore
I won’t hate you anymore

I do hope that he treats you well
Your affection can cast a spell
It consumed all of me
And that’s no easy feat

Now I’ve held this weight on my back
Took each chance I could to attack
Now it’s time to let go
And I hope I can let you know

In the right place at the right time and I try to say
I won’t hate you anymore
You’re on holiday in the summertime and I try to say
I won’t hate you anymore
I won’t hate you anymore
I won’t hate you anymore


But don’t hang up the phone
Cause I forgot to say
I’m sorry for the damage I’ve done
And now that I’m alone
I’m trying to make a change
So I hope I’ve caught you

In the right place at the right time and I try to say
I won’t hate you anymore
In the palisades of a better time and I try to say
I won’t hate you anymore
I won’t hate you anymore
I won’t hate you anymore
