Once A Tale

There was a tale that I didn't understand
Couldn't put my finger on it but I tried to comprehend
There were so much words I never spoke of in the end
But there was such a notion I constantly seek to melt in
The warmth was familiar, the intimacy too
Though one thing is peculiar - the trust I had in you
The walls around us couldn't hide a tone so true
But the wall between us is yet to be incised in two
You were broken and I was torn apart
You tried to act cool but it's reaching your heart
And me and my pride couldn't seem to part
But that was then, now you've dethawed my heart
Unconsciously yet a libellous one
And the fear begin, we were both toyed once
And why must this tale begin to confuse me again?
When will this tale flows easy for me to understand?

I'll Keep Walking

I may walk in a pair of crispy sneakers
Properly ironed and brushed for class
And my Oxford would fend me from murmurs
So shiny and smart for corporate tasks
But sometimes it's this that gives me such happiness
The simple things, that stays open like a trombonist
Consociate with the bohemians
And glide away with the dandelions
And so I'll keep walking.. I'll keep walking
Until the clime upshot and raze the earth
I'll keep walking.. I'll keep walking
And perish for a rebirth

Inglorious Glow

So I tried to read your mind but your snigger caught me
I tried to breathe easy but your tinkers poached me
So suspicious; this notion between you and me
Yet so wondrously it lingers, snuggling me
No promises made, no expectations foreseen
Though it seems unpromising and almost unseen
Will it remain inglorious, I'd rather not know
For if it stays notorious, I'd doom the glow

Bahagia

Jiwa ini rasa kosong
Tanpa setitik harapan mengatakan ia mudah
Cuba ku fahami maksudnya bohong
Dan kebenaran yang membezakan najis dengan sampah
Pabila taufan mula menari umpama tarian untuk Raja Sehari
Aku mula jijik dengan tingkah laku si pemerhati
Katanya ikatan itu semulia dan semurni minyak kelapa
Namun kebenarannya bukanlah selicin kain sutera
Kerna maksudnya bahagia seharusnya tidak disembunyi
Disebalik kaca kosong yang merelakan kegelapan hati
Seharusnya bahagia itu dibiarkan menari
Walau di kala aku sendiri

Vessels In Line

So I found myself turning to pot likker
Not once, not twice, and the standard is gold, not silver
It's always a new taste, a new mix, a new remedy
For the same wound, the same scar, the same tragedy
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I asked myself
But there's never an answer better than the top shelf
The vessels are there, I never meant to have them
They keep flowing and I'm too weak to stop them
If I could let it go, I wouldn't turn to one
But I need to stay high to not think of you even once
What have you done?
No. Sorry, what have I done?
It was served on ice and garnished with pineapple
It was cold, it was sweet, it was everybody's pleasure in quadruple
They looked happy and so I thought I would too
But when the hangover begins, I began to miss you
At least I thought I was missing you
Or was I trying to be you?

Kosong

Umpama botol kosong ku hanyut ke laut
Di persisiran pantai aku terkandas
Dan di saat itu matahari terbenam
Aku dibawa berbicara oleh arus deras
Kemudiannya aku terasa berat, aku kehilangan
Aku tenggelam ke dasar laut, mulai terasa kegelapan
Detik pun berlalu dan aku mula terasa sejuk
Seram dan dingin kerna semakin lama semakin sunyi
Dan di sini aku sendiri cuba memahami
Ke mana aku harus pergi
Aku cuma mampu menanti dan menghitung hari
Sampai masanya nanti aku akan faham juga
Tidak mungkin di sini sahaja aku akan disembunyi
Tidak mungkin aku akan kekal kosong selamanya
Aku percaya arus deras itu nanti akan kembali
Dan persoalannya bukan lah bila
Tetapi kenapa dan kemana
