No Snow for the Cold

kalmado

easy plant :)

I've been waiting here
for too long
I wish you would stick by
you're running again
I'm falling again

the distance that we shared apart
could it be different?
nostalgic reigns
within my unhealed pain

the places that intend to remain
the stories they replay
it'll be the clossest thing 
that i'll own
if only you could stay

you turn the other way
as the pictures fade

darlin, i'm falling down
an scapegoat to 
what we are now
somone to blame 
for now

if only i could blow
the haze
that showers within
your face
that keeps me from
your old gaze

cause it matters all to me

to me
to me
to me 
to me

as it fades

Waray ha atun makukurian
[Wala sa atin mahihirapan]
Kun pirmi titigamnan
[Kung laging alalahanin]
It mga balaud para hit atun kauswagan
[Ang mga alituntunin para sa ating pag-unlad]
Hunahunaa hin maupay it im mgaplano, madi
[Isipin nang mabuti ang mga plano, mare]
Paningkamut basi diri magbasul, padi
[Magsipag para di magsisi, pare]

II
Waray gud napaperdi ha am
[Walang nagpapatalo sa amin]
Bis pa magkuruankuan
[Kahit ano pa man ang mangyari]
Talagudti nga piktaw harayo't kakadtuan
[Maliliit na hakbang malayo ang mararating]
Padayon la pagpinanngusog, madi
[Ipagpatuloy ang pagsisikap, mare]
It bugas magiging bulawan gihap, padi
[Ang bigas magiging ginto din, pare]

Chorus:
Idoy, uday, burugbligay kirita nga tanan
[Iho, iha, magtulungan tayong lahat]
Ipakita na't ha ira nga waray hibabayaan
[Ipakita natin sa kanilang walang maiiwan]
(Igrayhak it kalipay ha bug-os ngakalibutan)
[Ipagdiwang ang kagalakan sa buong mundo]

Idoy, uday, higugmaay, urupod nga tanan
[Iho, iha, magmahalan, sama-sama lahat]
Kaupay la gumuliat nga diri pa kita human
[Kaysarap ipagsisigaw na 'di pa tayo tapos]
(Magkusog gud la gihap kita nga mga Waray-waray)
[Malalakas/matitibay pa rin tayong mga Waray-Waray]

III
Waray man data it karuyag
[Walang silbi ang mga kagustuhan]
Kun diri kinahanglan
[Kung hindi naman kailangan]
Ay pagtapud nga bulawan it im ginkakaptan
[Wag kang kampanteng ginto ang iyonghinahawakan]
Kun diri ka maghinay sus(!), kanugun la, madi
[Kung hindi ka mag-ingat, naku(!), sayanglang, mare]
Pagtirok bangin ka maimuran, padi
[Mag-ipon baka maubusan ka pa, pare]

IV
Waray ha atun malilisang
[Wala sa 'tin matataranta]
Kun diri nim mangalimtan
[Kung hindi mo makalimutan]
Igtirok it im pamilya ngan mga kasangkayan
[Tipunin ang iyong pamilya at ang iyong mgakaibigan]
Pagtuun hin mga diri nim aram han hadi
[Pag-aralan ang mga hindi mo alam noon]
Para mas magtikakarit, padi, madi
[Para mas gumaling, pare, mare]

Primrose Path

o, ylang-ylang

I.
ang dulot ng ‘yong talulot
ay ang laging pagkaudlot
ng pag-amin sa’yo
malalaman mo rin
laman ng damdamin
binubulong ng hangin
nang palihim

Chorus:
o, ylang-ylang
ilang araw nang
ginugunita'ng
‘yong halimuon
‘yong halimuyak
o, ylang-ylang
‘wag maiilang
sa kalaunang
mabubunyag
o, ylang-ylang

II.
ika’y luntiang sinilang
hindi pinahintulutang
ikaw ay aking mahawakan
ng ‘yong inang luluha
at kukubli sa tawa
ako nalang sana'ng
kainin ng lupa

(Chorus)

Bridge:
bulaklak ng mga bulaklak

III.
langis ng iyong pagtangis
ay kawangis ng ‘yong pag-alis
‘pagkat hindi ka para sa ‘kin

Outro:
nang nalaman ko rin
laman ng ‘yong damdamin
at sigaw ng hanging
walang nililihim
ako pala’ng luluha
at kukubli sa tawa
maghuhukay ng lupa
ibabaon ang tulang
ika’y namumukadkad
namumukodtangi
malanta ma’y kay tamis
ng pagtanggap mo sa ‘kin
o, bulaklak ng mga bulaklak

Gasuklay

nang tahimik

"transparency," my latest release is out next month. here's a demo i've been working on since last summer.

"skin"
i woke up with a lump in my throat
visions of you and the way that you spoke
it's 7am and it doesnt make sense
and i'm trying to forget before i fall in

with brown paper skin i fold to the touch
takes a gentle smile and i crumble to dust
but you'll never see what's underneath
no i won't let you in i won't let you see

if i could shed my skin and start anew
maybe i'd be better for you
a false scheme in a drunken dream
wish you'd say those same words when i'm not asleep

well i'm tired of dreaming of being who i can't be
cause i'll never be her but she'll never be me
but if you saw me the way that i wanted to be seen
i wouldn't be here wishing that it wasnt a dream

if i could shed my skin and start anew
maybe i'd be better for you
a false scheme in a drunken dream
wish you'd say those same words when i'm not asleep

"recover" 

from my mind i wonder
if i'll ever recover

i'm always holding out
i know that you'll let me down

i try to convince you
i try to convince me too

i wish i could be you
that way i wouldn't feel too

i walk by myself in 
the same place that we met

and there is not another
i wish i could recover

Artwork by the amazing Noémie Cédille

Keep me calm and I'll be on my way 
Simply holding on to sleep these days
I keep feeling like it's all the same
Take my time and see what should remain

When it's dark and the light hurts my eyes 
And it's hard to explain what it's like 
When the rush makes me lose my mind

Living life at full exposure 
Days I already know
Taking hold or taking over
Cause it's not something you can outgrow
We're taking on no shows 
Why not let it all go?

Keep me calm and I'll be on my way 
Simply holding on to sleep these days
I keep feeling like it's all the same
Take my time and see what should remain

When it's dark and the light hurts my eyes 
And it's hard to explain what it's like 
When the rush makes me lose my mind

Feel I'm losing my composure 
How are you holding on?
Are you taking hold or taking over? 
Are you gambling on hope?
We're taking on no shows

Keep me calm and I'll be on my way 
Simply holding on to sleep these days
I keep feeling like it's all the same
Take my time and see what should remain

When it's dark and the light hurts my eyes 
And it's hard to explain what it's like 
When the rush makes me lose my mind
