Release Me

2005-10-18T22:56:00.000-07:00

C#m7 - E - A/F#

Everday, troubles seem to find me,
Breakaway, I need to hide away
fighting all the demons in my head
Silently falling to despair

A - A
Pre-Chorus:
Fall we will but Rise we shall

B/Ab - A - E -B
Chorus:2x
Its time to heal the wounds
pickup all the shattered pieces
come that day,
till my burdens release me

C#m7 - E - A/F#
Recalling everything that I have done
They dont seem to go away
going through the motion and the pain
There is really something more to gain

A/F# - B/Ab - A - B
A/F# - B/Ab - C#m7 - B
Bridge:
Temptations always there to tease you
but we always fail keep away
In a batlefield of dreams were running in the dark
The enemy is within me

Let go of me

2005-08-01T03:26:00.000-07:00

Worked on a little project with my sister. We wrote a song about my sister's friend. She's still hasn't let go of her love for her boyfriend. They had to separate becuase the guy's family wanted them apart. So sad, anyway she has trouble letting go so the song is about her asking the love to let go of her, because she can't.

Let go of Me

I wake up staring at your picture frame
Struggling everyday to pick myself up
Pressed down on my chest
Thoughts of what love once was, drowning in my head

The choice was made, I have no power againts
Wanting to understand, still keeping you in me
Parted ways with feelings so strong
I feel weak without your cornerstone

Still frozen from your words
Locked inside your last embrace
Leave me barefoot on the cold floor
As you closed the door

Trapped inside your prison
But I hold the lock and key
It's your air I breathe, it suffocates me
I need myself to be set free
Can't move on, please let go of me

Tears fall down like rain upon my roof
Leaves me deaf to hear the sound of my thoughts
Like torn pages from the endings of a book
You coming back to me is an impossibility

Still you haunt me in my dreams
Paralyzed my soul from within
I close my eyes you're all I see
Wake me up, and let me live

Kaya mo

2005-06-23T06:12:00.000-07:00

Naalala mo pa ba
Na ikaw ang syang nag sabi
Huwag malulolon sa iyong problema
Alam ko, na marami kang pinagdadaan
Nawawala ka na,
At umaasa lang sa iba

Chorus

Di mo ba nakikita
Buksan mo ang iyong mga mata
Lahat ng hirap sa mundo
Di para lang sa iyo
Huwag mo nang isipin pa
Gawin mo na ang lahat ng
Kailangan mong gawin
Kaya mo yan...

Parang, ikaw ay nasa dilim
Mahuhulog at madadapa
Wag alalahanin pa
Tumayo ka lang sa iyong mga paa
May liwanag pa
Huwag mawalan ng pag-asa

Bridge

Wala nang iba'ng
Makakatulong sa iyo
Harapin ang salamin
Sino ang nakikita mo

Guitar Solo
Chorus

Kaya mo yan 4x

Damn Sappy Shit

2005-06-20T13:03:00.000-07:00

where are you, the missing piece in my life
I've searched and but you elude me
where must I go to find you
where should I be for you to see me

I close my eyes just to see you
just in my head and my dreams
cause' when I wake you dissapear
and I can't wait to see you again

I dream of the day we finally meet
strangers starting a on a journey
hoping for you to see the same end
for I will be the one to take you there

where must I go to find you
where should I be for you to see me
what should I do to get to you
if not only in my dreams, I'll be with you

once again, I lay my head to bed
dream of you till i wake again
only to find that I'm back my world
and you are not with me

someday I believe my dreams would come true
I know I would be wrapping my arms around you
no longer would I wait to fall a sleep and dream
cause' all along it has always been you

Fly Free

2005-06-20T12:57:00.000-07:00

she wakes up crying
in the middle of the night
tears roll down, cant stop shaking
as the memories love left
keep stirring in her head

love is strange, love can be cruel
hanging on to every last drop
her heart is crying out
what did I do to make you this way

don't you know, your fighting yourself
don't believe that its all your fault
theres a reason why you are apart
you and only you can save yourself

get yourself together
pick up the pieces and start over
get your feet back on the ground
move forward theres a light for you
don't look back, take your time
reclaim your dignity and your life
break your chain from the ball
set yourself free and fly

The Choice

2005-06-20T12:54:00.000-07:00

young as you were, you never wanted nothing more
than what you had and what you had goin
always dreamin of what you'll be
never lookin back to what you once were

then and now seems like a broken mirror
pieces of you all in dissaray
still living the way you think you should
your past simply a faint memory

a new world is beyond you,
with half of you crossing the line
between your past and your future
love never seems to find its way to you

now you want to live a real life,
love always slipping through your fingers
never seem to find the right path
true happiness is but a dream

but you know you still have a choice
a new life to lead is a big thing
never really knowing when that step will be
get a grip with reality

Blind

2005-06-20T12:48:00.000-07:00

I thought that you and I were meant to be
built my world around, you so silently
never really saw me the way I thought you did
only to find out that I didnt really matter

Some time has gone by and Im still wondrin' why
you told me that I was your dream come true
now it seems that dream was nothing more
than something just to keep me under your control

Now that I have left it all behind
I realize so many things that would have made me leave
I've been blind all this time
Could not see what you were trying to tell me

To fall is really all but chance
follow your heart and believe that theres something there
you never know how far you would go
till you hit a wall, wake up one day, she's gone

from now on I'll know just what to do
if I meet someone just like you
I'll know better than to give all I can
And Leave something for me to hold on to

Nandito pa rin

2005-03-14T00:31:00.000-08:00

kahapon lamang nakita kita
Kunot nananaman ang iyong noo
mukhang nasaktan ka nanaman
ano ba ang nakikita mo sa kanya

Kahit di mo ako napapansin
akoy nandito parin
kahit di mo ako nilalambing
Ikaw ay kukulitin
hanggan sa dulo ng mundo
di kita maiiwan
Di mo lang alam
na minamahal kita

Isang araw binilhan kita ng merienda
sabi mo salamat ito ang aking paborito
alam mo ba na matagal ko nang alam
Iba kasi ang iyong minamata

Kahit di mo ako napapansin
akoy nandito parin
kahit di mo ako nilalambing
Ikaw ay kukulitin
hanggan sa dulo ng mundo
di kita maiiwan
Di mo lang alam
na minamahal kita

Bridge

Balang araw masasabi ko rin sa yo
lahat ng aking nararamdaman
ipapakita ko sa iyo kung gaano kita kamahal
huwag mag alala di kita pababayaan

Thought it was gonna be a slow night

2004-11-16T23:18:00.000-08:00

hey, I havent really blogged anything... nothing but lyrics and shit, but anyways... hmm maybe I should just write something so this thing can move along....

My band Overtone plays at this bar in Pasong Tamo called Studio-M (Lots of thanks to Aimee), at first we were kinda iffy for reasons I cant really express, but anyways it looks like its turning out really well. Our very first gig there was canceled the same day.. so that sucked, Apparently there was some sort of mix up with the scheduling, too bad I invited a lot of people to go. Our real first gig there was actually pretty good. Out of all the people I invited to go (you know who you are) only Bats went, of course she brought a long her cool swedish friends along and Rommel Too! yeah it was fun, the turn out was pretty good, lots of people we didnt know so, at least we got to play in front of a newer audience. Ok that was last week.

Last night was started slow, we were waiting for people to arrive. I think 11PM there was only one table with people.. and they were friends of ours hehehe. So like we always say "If we play, they will come" everntually it did fill up a bit, thanks to our Ilonggo friends who watch us all the time in Yaku (another bar we play in) made a surprise visit. They are great, always love playin' gigs when they are around simply because you can easily see that they are really enjoying the music and not just chit chatting. There were a few celebrities too that night, Angel Aquino (of course) Jodie Santamaria, Jenny Hernandez and Angelica De La Cruz, who is in fact one of the owners of the bar. Rudy Fernandez was there too and waved a quick goodby to Frank as he left the bar. Sherwin a friend of ours really missed a lot... and its not our show that he missed hahaha. All good nights have to end, had to go cause' I had to wake up early for work the next day... bummer. At least we got a new set of people to watch us and got to watch a new set of people (duh did that make sense?). Most of them will be coming back next week bringing with them more friends to watch us. --- COOL

Thats it first, I think I'm gonna go make myself a protein shake.

Point of view

2004-10-11T22:31:00.000-07:00

One day at a time
think of all the things you've done
Maybe you'll see
That your not so bad after all

How hard do you think it is
When all you have to do is let go
Of all your anger and your hate
Everything around you will just...

Change for the better
Dont you worry it would be alright
Change your point of view

Don't think out a loud
Once you do you'll draw up a cloud
Of things you dont want to see or hear
It would just bring you down

So listen to your heart
You'll hear yourself wanting to be free
Unlock yourself from your shell
Everything around your will just...

In your world

2004-10-11T21:24:00.000-07:00

Find me in your eyes
See whats on my mind
You seem to always know
What's eating me inside

Keep me with you
Forever I am changed
Never did I know
You are all that I need

Hold me close
Let me feel your breath
My arms fall into you
your hands fall into mine

Find me by your side
Whenever you should need me
In your world I'll be
No matter what may come between us

look a little closer
Beyond what you see
Every touch and every smile
You keep me alive

Hold me close
Let me feel your breath
take me away
With you

Hold me close
Let me feel your breath
take me away
With you

I am home
I am home
I am home
I am home

Torpe Confessions

2004-10-11T20:29:00.000-07:00

Here I go again, back to one of my anxiety fits
How come I feel this way getting stronger everyday
Why does she move me, I want to do so much
but its all trapped inside, and to no one I can confide

And I feel the flames,
Burning so strong and I feel the pain
There is no medicine
To cure what I feel so deep
But still I should go on
Pretending to be numb to the pain
Still wanting to be there
But hoping it will be me

What should I do, wage a war I can't control
The battle can't be won or lost but surrender I fear the most
God knows how I long to tell how deeply I have fallen
Although hurt I'll be fine, cause my wounds would heal in time

Give and take back

2004-10-11T19:46:00.000-07:00

Take a look at us
where are we standing now
has the world left us
silently changing us

As I sit down with myself
and I wonder how much we really
use ourselves
do we really care

Chorus

try see the world beyond
live our lives the way should
let our voices all be heard
and make this world our own

Melancholy always
seems to find us when were needed
and I know we should find a
way for us to carry on

looking at the years gone by
what have we really done
can't we just go back
to a place where nothings wrong

Bridge
we give and we take back
now its time to stand up
againts giving in
our eyes closed and our
mouths are shut
So take the next step
and make the world our own

try see the world beyond
live our lives the way should
let our voices all be heard
and make this world our own

Make this world our own
(we give and we take back)
Make this world our own
(we give and we take back)

First breath

2004-10-11T19:17:00.000-07:00

In the sanctuary from which I was safe
Without a care in world, time does not exist
Its been long and tiresome
but ready to face the challenge
gasp for air as first light hits my eyes

I'm Surrounded
Strangers everywhere
They think they know me
but I dont know myself
First breath is what I know
This is what will keep me
Till I learn to grow

Never was this so hard
When I knew nothing then
Didnt do much at all, why should I
Time caught up with me
It's my turn to live my life
