blowing the dust
cleaning the rust
let me feel
no one is here today

avoiding the past
but shadow was cast
let me see
i think it'll be okay

let me hear your

ye heh yehey! ye heh yehey! hurray!

the day won't last

when it’s night time…
this black painted room
has no light…
so a candle i seek
and i can’t find…
i turn away, i turn away, i turn away…

at times i reach…
but agony pours
and never bliss…
so a chant i do
but still can’t hold…
and turns away, still i turn away, i turn away…

(but) don’t fail me now
God please don’t fail me now…
can’t take another loss…
just for today… just for today…

when things are pale…
i try to stain
with disbelief…
conscience now walks
i’ll try to gain…
not to turn away, don’t turn away, don’t turn away…

i've been so violent, always in rage
this thought just came, while examining the years
maybe because of hurts and these scars i see

it would be lonesome, or maybe
to test our love and to let you free
just to be free for a while, for sometime
but regrets seem to show, though inside me

will you be there?
in the fountain of frozen water
will you be there to stay oh...
oh... stay!

i still hang on our memories
flowing rivers and the setting sun
we'll not be seeing for a while

only my heart will erase
the scars you hide, the scars you hide

will you be there?
to melt the fountain of frozen water
will you be there to stay oh...
oh... stay!

out of a restless world
image of introspection
hoping to resurrect
go away madman's curse!

viewing the west side
i heard a loud cry
ending the hope
but mine's a long crusade

it tumbled down
but we could reach the rope tonight
there's a fire in the sky
fire in the sky tonight
it's all a pipe dream!

guard the nursery
advise the young
don't hide the scar
let your voice be heard!

i see the shadow
today's tomorrow
black is back
but again love will win

don't tumble down
as we climb the burning rope tonight
there's a fire in the sky
fire in the sky tonight
though it's just a pipe dream!

sometimes you're thinking what you want to be
but inside your mind, it's refusing - not giving in
it's like a long way there
but a tiny step will move you away from here
if only time would stop
we'll all jump in and swim
move a little closer and push the wind

do something about it
don't wait and don't talk about it

stars don't shine in the morning but in the dark
the sky is high
but if you climb a mountain, you'll feel the clouds
don't just sit there, the wind might blow you back

do something about it
don't just wait and don't talk about it

why wait?
live your dream

gusto mo bang mag-drayb, drayb, drayb, drayb, drayb,

mag-dadrayb ka papuntang buhol
kahit ang traffic ay buhol-buhol (bukol-bukol)
mag-dadrayb ka hanggang sa buwan (eeyuwee...)
isama mo pa ang asong may an-an (an-an-an-an)

kaya magpaturo ka nang mag-drayb sa: socialites, interphil,
alamo, standard, gdi, ddi, a-one, ewan!

gusto mo bang mag-drayb?
gusto mo ba talagang mag-drayb?
gusto mo bang mag-drayb, drayb, drayb, drayb, drayb,
drayb all your life?

makapagdadrayb ka ng chedeng
kahit mag-sakay ka pa ng kambeng (eng-eng-eng-eng)
ma-idadrayb mo pa ang b.m. ko (patatat!, patatat!)
huwag mo lang dadraybin ang asawa ko (loko-loko)

bibigyan pa kita ng benefits gaya ng sss, vacation leave,
paternity, maternity, many money, medicare, house and lot, peklat!

gusto mo bang mag-drayb?
gusto mo ba talagang mag-drayb?
gusto mo bang mag-drayb, drayb, drayb, drayb, drayb,
drayb over-bike?

magkakaroon ka pa ng sariling kotse: honda, toyota, lite-ace,
hi-ace, isuzu, daihatsu, lamborghini, pwitney ili!

drayb my bm
drayb my bm
drayb my bm
drayb my bm

at pag-ikaw ay naging magaling na driver ko (chuwari-wari-wah),
ikaw ay mapro-promote at magiging pilot ko (chuwari-wari-wah)
pero pag-nagkaroon na ako ng aeroplano (chuwari-wari-wah)
kaya dapat maging mayaman na ako (chuwari-wari)

"drive..." "drive..."

i don’t have the right over you
i can’t even see your eyes
i don’t know where to find you
at a time of recall

i don’t have any amnesia
to forget a girl like you
though the full moon is out tonight
maybe i’ll just stay at home

i’m just wasting time, wasting time
thinking of you
wasting time, wasting time
thinking of you

there are times there’s a longing
i like to kiss your lips
but my mind keeps repeating
it’s just a waste of time

in the afternoon of heat and dust
i always live in the past
thinking of my branching tragedies

i only gain when i close my eyes
there i can reach the infinite sky
i always stay in my dreams
when there’s so much wasted times

i like to return to those wasted times
to change this miserable life of mine
i like to recycle those wasted times
and change it to something new

so i imaged the ocean in the sky
then said good-bye to this ugly youth inside
as the sun and moon passed by
but still there are wasted times

i see the starless sky of black
i’ll always remember this night
i ran through the pouring tiny drops
so hurt, i can feel my liquid eyes
as i reach you speechless inside
i reach you speechless inside

strange, i fear this time with you
but are there still something to lose?
i know ‘twas lost a long time ago
you’ve forgotten all of my thoughts
thus my mind always reminds me of you
my mind always reminds me of you

when love runs cold
when love runs cold
when your love runs cold

twisted, burned and all to smoke
it’s time i guess to set you free
be free, for today i’ll be home again
where things are meant to be before you
but it’s hard for me to disremember
it’s hard for me to disremember ahh…

the children are playing
happy in what they’re doing
no worries on their minds
as i look on i felt the sadness inside

recalling the years that past
now seeing so many lost
the rain starts to pour
but the fire still keeps burning on

what’s left are the ashes
in the pouring rain
it’s sadness not loneliness
what’s left are the ashes

there are more to lose
and few to gain
so better lay it on a line
and helplessly watch the children as they play

watching a funeral march
at this darkest hour of time
i seldom recognize the blessings
and frequently complaining
no one bares the facts of life

faithfully reading a tabloid
in the weakest moment of my life
i was finally blackened by thoughts
and i began to pour out my shaded emotions
i can’t take this forever

i’ve shared my rhymes
consumed most of my time
but i’m still waiting
for someone to relume my life

relume my life

digging the soil with crosses
i watched with no colored feelings
i’ve forgotten a remorse from the mirror
and i turned my eyes to the sky
with a worthless sigh

relume my life…

another tear from another, constantly dropping
how can love win over hate this way
when things are simply still

moving back and forth

maybe love or hate

can’t make purple blue from black

i fell asleep and dreamt of you
but i can’t seem to wake up
you’re confusing me, you’re hurting me
you’re choking me, you’re killing me…

so i removed your picture from the wall
and burned all the things you’ve given me
i burned the letters, i burned the books
i burned the tapes, maybe i’ll burn my brain too…

now i made a song out of this hate
yes! i made this song to forget our love
i played the guitar and undo my anger

he hides his smile once more
gazes at the sable parts of the room
and wears his black shirt again

plunged into desolation
he stares at the picture of memory
and puts his thoughts running again

feeling the sadness of solitude
in this lonely city

he is looking for something
he wonders and lays on his bed
works hard to deceive his sentiments

i heard you calling my name
as the blue sky turns to gray
you wave to me then you smiled
your wave was a goodbye, oh why?

i passed by so many ways
and nothing left for me to keep
even had an imageless thought
of a burned memory when recalled – why?

everything is new
and all has their due
but no one seems to be true

i’m pinned to a wall of insecurity
it leads me to a path of losing more
no reality from my vision
just a vision of a lost memory

i heard you calling my name…

the sky is clear
the clouds are new
the grass is green
the trees are tall
the birds sing
the flowers bloom
the sun shines to everything
i’ll treasure each moment with you

the breeze is soft
the sea is blue
the shells are red
the fishes – gold
the water flows
to complete the view
though it’s simple and for some it’s dull
i’ll still treasure each moment with you

ooh… ooh…

my love is pure
it is for you
my broken dreams
now they’ve come true
just being with you
fills my empty life
the night is dark but it’ll be alright
i know there’s nothing that will tear us apart

i’ll treasure each moment with you

ohh… ohh…

hctib, elohssa, 'nikcuf shit!

sometimes we just sit down and laugh in the rain
sometimes the sun shines but we still like the rain
sometimes the dawn, we wait and kiss the night away
sometimes her sister yells, well she thinks i’m so weird
oh no!

and i run, run, run, run!

sometimes dreaming in the day and talking ‘bout love
sometimes we just consume the time, fighting all day
sometimes she says she cares but always she ain’t
sometimes she’s a scumbag and a pain in my neck
oh boy!

i just cry, cry, cry!

always i find
all the boys she left behind
i’m in the shit coz that girl’s a bullshit!
damn the plastic girls!
damn the plastic girls! (yeah)

sometimes when the day breaks, we drink the coffee i made
sometimes i wish i bought some poison for her
sometimes i see her and her stupid boyfriend
sometimes i like to kill him together with her
oh yeah!

i like to kill, kill, kill!

A(5)       G(5)
    alone anew in this room
A(5)              G(5)
    with timeless tragic woe
A(5)           G(5)
    dark paths of recall came
A(5)                G(5)
    as you stood by far from me

A(5)                     G(5)
    sheer reflections of dawn died
A(5)           G(5)         A(5)
    like winds of july that passed
                 G(5)
can’t keep these trembling hands
A(5)             G(5)       A(5)
    from this blind deception of love

D                      C#m
 (cause) these are the broken glass

 remembering that time
D              C#m
 time of love, time of hate
     D                   C#m
just lost pieces of this broken glass

A(5)                G(5)
    nothing much to say this day
A(5)                    G(5)
    still tomorrow it’s just the same
A(5)                    G(5)

breathe each second with love… love

don’t be caught without a smile
never think it’s the end of time
desperation, desolation, lamentation
anyway…

stir your mind with fantasies
and with that you can behold
more temptations, sharp illusions, some confusions
even though…

move with wisdom in your hands
you’ll see patterns all around
infatuation, combination, unification…

breathe with love… love

it still echoes and haunts my mind
a beautiful mem’ry that turns to shadow
always there behind, always there behind
ooh, what will i do?

burning all visions that reminds me
still she echoes and haunts my mind
no more chance of changing
no more chance of changing her view… ooh…

i thought that game was forever
i was so happy
but there it was
the cause of the break of mood

it’s so difficult to forget the yore
and to heal the notch cause by the sore
i can’t live in sorrow, i can’t live in sorrow

walking around, while the rain sways the day
we cross the sea of hate and love
we dream of fortune, we dream of luck
and together we’ll climb the mountain of disgust

as we hold on to each other
while our hands are tightly together
we cried, then we smiled and laughed
when the rain seemed to stop

we looked up in the sky
and saw the endless reflection of light
telling us there’s a future
behind a love so pure and true

yes, we both knew about our sorrows
but we still hope for tomorrow
we’ll smile and laugh
even if the rain won’t stop

we’ll smile and laugh
even if the rain won’t stop

yeah!

love is cold as ice

breathing kills
reaching the hills
but no view is new
walls only grew
i’m pained…

imprisoned in my room
imprisoned in my own room
i’m a prisoner in my own bedroom

silent shadows
i’m drown by sorrows
find the prophet
blow the trumpet
don’t rain…

stress rose high
worries never die

sitting here, wond'ring how the years have passed away
it seems that all the pains disappeared
but something hurts inside
like there's no light in my way tonight
but i can see your love
your love that lost its way
it flew away
what can i say?

i'm all alone, thinking how the days have passed me by
i just can't stay at home,
live in gloom while something hurts inside
oh help me! how can i face the facts?
thinking it was just a lie
now i'm sure
your heart is made of clay
i'm wasting my day!

you don't care at all what's in my head
and i'm still dazed like i'm hypnotized
cause i just can't let go
of all the memories you left four years in gold!
your smile just fades away

you walked away!
you walked away!

yeah! yeah! yeah!

the moment flies, the time reminds me now
when morning comes, the bright sun brings me here
though the hassle rushes as fast as i can sing this line
but everything's still fine cause friends are always there

there's something inside that keeps me alive
you can take my sight, my hearing, my pride
but please don't take away
oh please don't take away
please God don't take away...
this memory

i can see the picture but it's more than what the picture tells
it's not in my mind cause i know how it really feels
at times i get lonely and my sunny day turns to gray
i don't have to worry cause friends are always there
i know - you don't even have to find

there's something inside that keeps me alive
you can take my sight, my hearing, my pride
but please don't take away
oh please don't take away
please God don't take away...

ba’t ka ba ganyan?
nagtatago sa di mo kulay
trying hard to impress the others
and to climb their mountains

ba’t di mo aminin ang tunay?
na ikaw ay simple lang
don’t you think what you’re doing is wrong?
“you make tusok-tusok to the fishball” o… o…

pa-sosyal, sosyal!
di naman sosyal!

ba’t ka ba ganyan?
give nang give puro utang naman (“yeah, that’s right!”)
don’t you think what you’re doing is wrong?
mahilig mang-small, matapobre in other words!

“look at, what’s the matter for you?
when i go to your house, you are not
even your father is not
even your mother is not
all of you is nots!”

My friend Edmund Pielago (drummer of Jellybeans) and I made the translation, wala kaming magawa noon kaya tinarantado na lang namin itong song ko. Heheee! :D

Nothing At All Ever Change

Thinking-thinking of many a thing
disarranging of my life

i don't know what to do to what i'm wishing
it doesn't suit you the feeling

oh i gave it all to you
my whole life through
and also my love
i offered to you
but nothing at all ever change
oh... oh...

coming to an end are all the things
seems now even the wind

gone is the meaning of my life
it is cold now, your feeling

oh i gave it all to you
my whole life through
and also my love
i emptied to you
but nothing at all ever change
oh... oh...

what i'm looking to you is the love of yours

So Little Time

2010-12-01T13:01:00.001+08:00

captured by dark cycle of frames
viewed with pain and sorrow
enlightening my inner thinking
what makes this pace a bit tiring

from a different angle, some claims
many people beg and borrow
this stops me from singing
the day spent - passing and raining

trying my luck on boring games
time passed by til tomorrow
tinnitus kept my ears ringing
like a bad dream - slowly crawling

        Dm7/A      G
and you tried everything

    Dm7/A               G
but everything is so confusing

It'll Be Alright

2010-11-18T04:48:00.001+08:00

i know it's hard to understand
that my life has no fun

every time i think of love
it's fear, i always grab

then i try to do what's right
but i'm always in this fright

sometimes i like the things i do
but you know that it's not true

i'm always frightened every night
that someday it's déjà vu

i tried to change my every way
but everything turns to gray

competition is too tight
and the sunshine is not bright
yes it's always…

she doesn't love me
she doesn't care
she doesn't love me
she doesn't care

but it'll be alright

i guess my mind is now deranged
for my life i can't arrange

and all my friends, they come and go
that's why my strength is too low

i know, i can depend on you
but i know someday, you too will go

After 13 years of hiatus from the music industry, Darem Placer of The End sings Pagkalumo at MIPSS 26th Foundation Day. 29 October, 2010

sinisisi mo ang iyong buhay
sa larong walang tagumpay

sa paggising mo, wala na ang laya
sa pagtulog mo, merong luha
ahh...

mapapawi rin ang pagod
sa kahirapan sa pagkayod

kahit paggising mo'y wala na ang laya
pagtulog mo, merong luha

pigilan mo ang luha mo
iwanan ang iyong pagkalumo
oh... oh...

magkakaroon din ng lunas
parang binhi sa bulsang laslas

paggising mo wala na ng luha
sa pagtulog mo, ikaw ay malaya na

Blame

2008-05-05T18:30:00.008+08:00

seven days of nights i've followed
by the sun, its light i've borrowed
i heard today the news of sorrow
findin' a way to know tomorrow
oh oh...

no more stain to stay
no more lies to say
no more sins to take
no more plaint to make
no more prey to blame

as the days of loads go narrow
same routine like before starts to show
i can't destroy the notions of hate
those i met were told they're late
hey...

one more game to play
one more debt to pay
one more pest to shake
one more mind to blame
one more! one more!

the things you see today
were all the things we made
the things we made
yeah! it's not your fault!
it's not your fault
it's all my fault!
it's all my fault!

Regret

2008-05-01T07:05:00.002+08:00

i'm missing something here,
the pains inside are trap over the years

life is just the same
the time would be clear for your sake

call it innocence
the world, it turns around, it makes me gray

living in this scene
numb, worthless, oh how i hate my pace

hiding in between
face to face, oh how right it should have been

love is so strange, it rules, it's bull
it stays in my head

i'm calling out your name
oh no! i knew, you thought it's just a game

i know it's hard to say
i'm lost for words
oh...

i could have save it
somehow, it bothered all my days
i never looked your way
and now you're gone
and now you're gone
you took my life away

just another day
with fear, i cry, hoping as i pray

going further now
the sky, it fades, it shows out your face

but how can i forget
the things i've done is done and now you're gone

i know it's hard to think
i've lost my mind
oh no!

Remnants

2008-04-30T22:46:00.001+08:00

don't tell me everything is just for waiting
all my worries, now they're all parading
remembering how love and how faith were wasted
time never waited for those who want it

forgetting all i want, all i want
cause these things i have, things i have
are going to die someday!

i believe the days are all deceiving
only you and i, i know is worth believing
remembering how chance and how hope were wasted
time never waited for those who want it

forgiving all mistakes, our mistakes
for this bond we built, the bond we built
only love remains!

Life

2008-04-28T15:56:00.003+08:00

life goes on like a burning candle
dripping from above
falling downwards, getting low

but i can feel the heat within
it's burning, burning my skin
when life is gone, it's never done
it's not the end

planting beans but the rain won't fall
the summer sun won't shine
some have sprout but it doesn't grow

no! i can't see, oh it can't be
what's happening to me?
hopes are gone, i haven't won
i lost again, woe oh oh

i can see the outside of your world
deep inside i'm lost for words i cannot say
life is such a drag

planting beans but the rain won't fall
the summer sun won't shine
some have sprout but it doesn't grow

no! i can't see, oh it can't be
what's happening to me?
when life is gone, it's never done
it's not the end

life is such a drag

naghahanap ako ng kasagutan
sa mga tanong simula ng pagkabata
aking magulang nagsawa na sa akin
lagi na lang ako'y iniiwanan

mahirap ba naman akong pakisamahan
pare-pareho lang naman ang aking kahilingan
aking mga kaibigan, naguguluhan sa akin
lagi na lang ako'y iniiwasan

tanong ng tanong ng mga tanong

walang pumapansin sa aking suliranin
ni-isang kaibigan walang sumama sa akin
di nila alam ako'y nahihirapan
lagi na lang walang kasiyahan

agony of my wounds
you don't have to bear
seems right when left broken
blue mind burst with angry days

pains we see, dumbs can say

treasons
ever since twas borne our way

nothing

nothing
knotting!

pressures of your trials
i don't have to bear
facts run closely taken
root canal changes as the years make shift

seasons
all that time pain's expressed

treason seasons
ever since i was born this way

nothing
nothing

wala na ang mga ibon sa langit
wala na ang mga rosas sa palidid
lumipas na ang masayang kahapon
na dulot ng mapait na ngayon

mainit na ang simoy ng hangin
nagbago na ang iyong pagtingin
umiwas, lumayo at ako'y itinapon
ang pag-ibig kinulong sa kahon

nagsimula nang magdilim
kay lalim ng sugat, iniwang masakit
ngayong wala ka na, paano ang damdamin?

umupo na lamang sa bubong
habang ang panahon ay gumugulong
naagnas na alaala, naaalala pa
di maiwan, sana ako'y magising na

Heading Down

2008-04-28T12:51:00.009+08:00

swerve it forward to ease the pain
kill him again, to end his reign
someone's dying, dying, decay
been away, have nothing to say

"what's the game?", you asked again
living this life, drives me insane
giving - believing to your way
in my trust, there is no pay

you're heading down!
heading down!

finding the key, we all can be
always in fright, the beast in me
emotions are working, enough to free
cutting, slicing the truth in three

chew up your birdbrain, you're still the same
weeping and screaming, you're preaching your pain
fixing your way, you're trapping dismay
but hell's shouting and praising your name!

Pass Ako

2008-04-28T12:49:00.005+08:00

na na na...

ako'y namumroblema
alkansya ko'y basag na
yan! ubos na'ng pera!

wala nang pang regalo
sa mga inaanak ko
malapit na ang pasko!

na na na...

ano ang gagawin?
tatalon ba sa bangin?
o kakain ng buhangin?

walang pang-noche buena
dahil wala 'kong pera
ito'y naging tradition na!

na na na...

pass ako!

hoo! ahh! woo!

ah! alam ko na
dahil ngayon ay pasko na
ako'y mangangaroling na!

kahit barya-barya
ang i-shoot sa 'king bulsa
ok lang basta masaya!

na na na...

ako'y mangangaroling (la la la)
kahit magkaduling-duling
para sa noche buenang maling!

bibili ng pang-regalo
sa mga inaanak ko
kahit tig-isang lobo!

na na na... nge!

paskong-pasko!
(pasko paksiw pasko paksiw)
la la lo la la la lo la (pa'no ba yon?)
(pwe! pwe! ewan!)

A Naive Story Of An Uncertain Life

2008-04-28T12:49:00.003+08:00

"well, the current events torture my mind
and the clock seems to increase its turn
however, i still view the classified ads
there might be some other better jobs"

too... too... too...

"this life is really going to the blues
but i keep on moving, i don't know why
can anyone stop me from turning in circles?
might as well be naive"

"the sun is not so bright nor my table lamp
the moon is brighter, i guess
but do i have to wait for the night?
just to see all sorts of light?"
