1.Markers of Beautiful Memories
Your face is a welcome interlude
Like a lift back into school
It's all hearts and flowers
Love's umpire called time
You have taken root in my mind
Like a heavenly infection
Taking leave of my senses
A riot in the heart
Come ruin or rapture
May we never part
A blue mystic light
I carry a torch and a pocket guide
To the markers of beautiful memories
I was given to fits of lost traditions
Now I'm living on sealed confessions
Oh, such a sweet distress
Suspended pipe dreams are touching
Revolving and spinning
Am I accursed or blessed it's uncertain
Oh, I have faith in my bearings
A riot in the heart
Come ruin or rapture
May we never part
A blue mystic light
I carry a torch and a pocket guide
To the markers of beautiful memories
2.Clinically Dead for 16 Hours
My heart is a terrible failing
I am just beginning to fathom
Love's difficult concept
Swift beats are bending my mindset
It's wasting my time
It's wasting so much precious time
Touring white castles with other survivors
And then without warning I was…
Clinically dead for sixteen hours
Show me all the things my heart desires
Let this be the longest happy dream of my life
Clinically dead for sixteen hours
Crossing all the roads where lines began
Break my hourglass and let the sands move in time
Three short moons I survived that fatal day
But reaching breaking point,
I sleep and face the knife of fate
And my heart breathe air for the first time
Yes, my heart breathe air for the first time
A stitch in time and skin
Has changed my life and the lives of my kin
A stitch in time and skin
Has changed my life and the lives of my kin
I'm keeping my time
I'm keeping my precious little time
Touched by the Hand that's been rocking my cradle
I'll always remember
I was clinically dead for sixteen hours
Show me all the things my heart desires
Let this be the longest happy dream of my life
Clinically dead for sixteen hours
Crossing all the roads where lines began
Break my hourglass and let the sands move in time
No tunnel, no light
No dead love ones
Maybe I need to teach someone
That we won't realize what we have till we lose them…
3.Lord of the Flies
Lord of the Flies
How many will suffer with your lies
Lord of the Flies
Everyone sees right through your disguise
A million watering eyes lives to tell the tale
Of how ambition burned their sails
Get off that high horse and remove that paper crown
Cause there's no sense in putting your self down
There's no sense in putting yourself down
There's no sense in putting your simple, little life down
Lord of the Flies
A subject of fools, and a throne cold as ice
Lord of the flies
Ego that's bigger than the map of Iran
Ten thousand woman and children losing everything
Your mother is crying from your sins
Get off that high horse and remove that paper crown
Cause there's no sense in putting your self down
There's no sense in putting yourself down
There's no sense in putting yourself down
You may save your pockets; can you save your face？
Do you want to be forever hunted by disgrace？
I have got the answer, give or take a few
And the only fool you made
Yeah, the only fool you made was out of you
Lord of the Flies
How many will suffer with your lies
Lord of the Flies
Everyone sees right through your disguise
A million watering eyes lives to tell the tale
Of how ambition burned their sails
Get off that high horse
And remove that paper crown
Cause there's no sense in putting your self down
There's no sense in putting yourself down
There's no sense in putting your simple, little life down
Life will do it for you.
4.I Love You, Natalie
Caught online and off guard
With those eyes that say a lot
Haunting me for days
I just can't resist your mysterious gaze
All those pictures of you
Are like skyflowers strobing around the room
Am I losing my marbles too soon？
I need a talking cure
I love you, Natalie
As strange as it may seem
Does anyone still believe in love at first sight？
Yes I do! But I do now!
Natalie, I don't know your history
Let me take you to the top of my seven-story fantasy
A slew of exchanges have piled
Singing songs in foreign tongue
It's growing everyday
Animated with all the things you say
Watching couples in bloom
Makes me so tired of doing things alone
Let's cut to the chase, don't be long
You are my only cure
I love you, Natalie
As strange as it may seem
Does anyone still believe in love at first sight？
Yes I do! But I do now!
Natalie, I don't know your history
Let me take you to the top of my seven-story fantasy
5.Changing Horses Midstream
The combination is obscure like gravity pull
As time goes by things get unusually better
Spending so much time together
Relaxed with the thought these days were going to last
Your pattern was different than what it implied
It wasn't description so much as disguise
I was saving it up, now it's spent
And there's no other remedy
There's no other remedy…
So now I'm changing horses midstream
Although we had a good thing going
Time will tell who has fell
And who's been left behind
Changing horses midstream
Wise up and give up all your fears
Do it for love, do it for love, and nothing else
It's a nice day to fail and disappear
You said you wanted what the public wants
When all they want is public execution
“We were sliding all this time,
Not knowing that the glider was just climbing down,”
According to Jacob
Your actions were different than what they implied
They weren't description so much as disguise
I was saving it up, now it's spent
And there's no other remedy
There's no other remedy
So now I'm changing horses midstream
Although we had a good thing going
Time will tell who has fell
And who's been left behind
Changing horses midstream
Wise up and give up all your fears
Do it for love, do it for love, and nothing else
It's a nice day to fail and disappear
The long goodbye of the hunger strike
People grow apart, that's how it is right
When insecurity towers cast shadows of doubt
Enough is enough!
So now I'm changing horses midstream
Although we had a good thing going
Time will tell who has fell
And who's been left behind
Changing horses midstream
Wise up and give up all your fears
Do it for love, do it for love, and nothing else
It's a nice day to fail and disappear!
6.Ignore My Weakness, Don't Ignore Me
I was a fool to think that it's okay
When in fact it hurts a lot
Yes, it's really such a selfish act
And I dearly wish you'd give me another chance.
You were outlining our dreams
Making plans for our schemes
Carelessly I feed you with unholy thoughts
Even stood under a doubtful shadow
I should be a toy soldier
Hans little tragic tale
Eaten and beaten and silently delivered to his dame.
Ignore my weakness, don't ignore me.
I'd happily die in the fire
I'd happily die in the fire
I'd happily die in the fire
As long as the wind blows you beside me
A children's nest, a home to build
Sturdy halls filled with laughter and music
Suddenly, a profile of a heartless man
Was considered out of context
Remembering the little match girl
Another tragic tale
Outside the cold world she shivers but illuminates her faith
Ignore my weakness, don't ignore me
I'd happily light you a fire
I'd happily light you a fire
I'd happily light you a fire
And let the Universe conspire with me.
I'm so sorry…
7.Canto de Maria Clara
Dulces las horas en la propia patria
Donde es amigo cuanto alumbra el sol,
Vida es la brisa que en sus campos vuela,
Grata la muerte y más tierno el amor!
Ardientes besos en los labios juegan,
De una madre en el seno al despertar,
Buscan los brazos a ceñir el cuello,
Y los ojos sonríense al mirar.
Dulce es la muerte por la propia patria,
Donde es amigo cuanto alumbra el sol;
Muerte es la brisa para quien no tiene
Una patria, una madre y un amor!
8.The Emperor, the Concubine ＆ the Commoner
Hundreds of years ago when emperors rule
The most beautiful girl was torn apart
An honour to her family but death to her heart
A mistress she will be, the emperor's concubine.
I was a commoner, a slave to the rules
Inside the Forbidden City, I was rooted
With a glimpse of her peach blossom eyes
Caught, imprisoned and beaten
Oh, what a grave sin it is to stare at the emperor's concubine
One gloomy night she came and brought some provisions
Completely forgetting the hunger and pain
As she parted her lips for a brief conversation
The visit has blossomed into romance
The beginning of a tragic affair with the emperor's concubine
Upon release I go back to my woodcutting station
And under the new moon's light to my lover's temptation
Inside the forest, witnessed by the stars, we made love
Parting before the rituals begin in the palace of the emperor's
concubine
Fire in our eyes
Fire in our hearts
We have dared to defy imperial convention
Some good things never last, and for us it quickly came to pass
Like a Shakespearian sonnet, knocking at the doors of death
The emperor's fury was conquered with love and mercy
To his concubine he said, “Remove the unwanted in your womb,
And your life will be spared.”
Fire in our eyes
Fire in our hearts
We have dared to defy imperial convention
Off with our heads
Off with our lives
We will wait till our next incarnation.
9.Solitary North Star
The sun rises and sets without saying goodbye
Only leaves spectacular rays before it sleeps right before our
eyes.
Silently being covered by night's naked blanket of mystery
For sometimes only in darkness can we realize depth and
significance
Of movement and time,
Of people and purpose,
And of infinity, Yes, Infinity
As we gaze at the vast space above us
Beyond the clouds; fabled stars will appear
Do you count or look intently for brief moments of wonder？
There is beauty in darkness.
There is beauty in darkness.
There is beauty in darkness
There is beauty in darkness.
For during times my life is covered with shadows
My road hardly visible with devious fog
And storms chasing my strength and bleeding me dry
I close my eyes and think of you – my solitary North Star.
As we ease the vast space between us
Beneath our eyes; twinkle of tears will appear
Do we kiss or look intently for endless moments in wonder？
There is beauty in absence
There is beauty in absence
There is beauty in absence
There is beauty in absence
10.Lizards Hiding Under Rocks
Manila fills its streets with all the desperate
Desperate for some change but they don't know what
The boys they try too hard to be action heroes
But they all end up being pretentious geeks
And from behind their masks they are nothing but phoney
Lizards hiding under rocks
The town is reeking from the stench of insecurity
Desperate to be liked at any cost
The girls exchange their honor for attention
It's something that they just can't get enough
They're the walking embodiment of over compensation
Lizards hiding under rocks
Never say anything
In front of anyone who can't understand
I just want to be myself
But everybody tries to make you just like them
The moment you try
Kiss it goodbye
You sleep so soundly my pure, little baby
Untouched by the claws of an evil world
I dearly hope you don't end as statistic
I'll give my life to save yours from everyone
From the reach of all those manic and jaded masses
We'll be lizards hiding under rocks.
