Searching for reasons Cause you thought of a perfect world Too dumb to see through That half your life was already written in stone You wanted reasons But a stubborn person would never understand You can’t see, you can’t hear The remains of a lovely ghost The distance is haunting The distance is haunting you Buried in your own trauma Will penance end the pain? The voices in your closet Never shall be forgiven What more is to explain? When all the words were left in vain You still can never ever feel The remains of the lovely ghost The distance is haunting The distance is haunting you Buried in your own trauma Will penance end the pain? The voices in your closet Never shall be forgiven I hope you will be forgiven The fall from grace you need to feel A time to think, a time to heal

This is for the ones Who woke up with scars on their faces Seemed blinded by the light Never know which way they should be going All I ask Keep the faith and keep doing what you’re doing And break those chains To find and stand for what you believe in Do what you do but never let it go to waste This life That I chose to live, I chose not to give a shit Do what you do but never let it go to waste This life That I chose to live, I chose not to give a shit Magbabalik tanaw, dalawang dekada na sa paggalaw Ako kasi naman ay hindi ikaw kaya kahit pa hilaw ay di bumitaw sa panaginip Na pinilit magising upang mabuo kahit ano pang daanan Basta lamang ‘to ay malakaran Mga nakatingin sa kaliwa at kanan na gustong gumitna ay bahala ng masagasaan Kaya wag ka ng mag balak harangan, magkasala sa ngalan basta lang magkapangalan Kaya pataliman ng pangil ang ihanda ibigay mo ng buo sa larangan ng walang atrasan kapalit pawis, luha't, dugo Do what you do but never let it go to waste This life That I chose to live, I chose not to give a shit Do what you do but never let it go to waste This life That I chose to live, I chose not to give a shit Nawala man ang liwanag, pumalit dilim pero dala ko pa rin ang apoy na sapat na ito para lang makinig ka, makinig ka hanggang malibing ka At maling pinto man binuksan ko, mga latay sa likod man ang natikman ko, nasaksak, nadapa, laging ganito, Lahat ng aral nakatago sa ulo ko'y narito UNOD. BUKOG. LAHUTAY. LAWAS. This life That I chose to live, I chose not to give a shit Do what you do but never let it go to waste This life That I’ll try and fix for God knows I will never quit You are what you do Not what you say you’ll do

Tomorrow we’re moving on But today there will be war To fight for those we love And to pursue the common good Nothing seems to matter When the enemy is by your side The future has been wrecked For we didn’t cared too much Blood has become their wine Our prayers for those who died Nothing seems to matter Who else should need to die? Famous is what you are For all the distractions You never gave a damn For the innocent hearts that you slaughtered Genocide and corruption has terrorized the whole nation Tonight we all sleep in sorrow The enemy, the enemy, who is the enemy? They’re all around The enemy, the enemy, fear the enemy They’ll haunt us down You think some lives never matter And that your faith will give you honor You are the meaning of evil For peace is never really an option There’s politics and greed Even scars and broken families Will tomorrow bring a new day? “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Your existence has caused us misery But there’s a light at the end of the tunnel Famous is what you are For all the distractions You never gave a damn For the innocent hearts that you slaughtered There’s politics and greed Even scars and broken families Will tomorrow bring a new day? A new day

Unite This is not a competition We don't shout for your recognition Unity in every struggle Break free from the negative circle We speak what's on our minds While we're alive and when we die No time for regrets Leave before you're in distress We're not a threat to the throne There is no fucking throne Motionless on the floor On what you've seen and what you've heard We crossed the road, shouted for hope When times get rough We'll face the wrath With fools around They spread like fire But we'll stand as one to face the war With our own voice we'll make the right choice Gonna keep it real, gonna keep the peace We're not a threat to the throne There is no fucking throne Tougher times Stand as One!

Truth and honor Does it even matter? Truth and honor Who does it favour? Is this the future of freedom? We belong to a circle that has forced us all to lie Do they deserve our trust or give them the benefit of the doubt? Weapons all around The innocent dies and society pays the price We keep running in circles fighting the notions of the mass Truth be told For a battle once fought It's a struggle to fit Believing in your shit Will we become what we think about? Wil we become what you think about?

We're drunk but we are fine Raise a toast now, it's time to unwind To all my friends forget your issues right now Hard knock stories on a Friday night Come and sit still 'coz we got your back It's a night to get drunk again Our friends for life we'll hang until the end No other way and we wouldn't care We wouldn't change for the world, my friend Worked so hard for the week We deserve some treat Raise your cups and shout out loud Keep on dancing for the night is young Raise your cups and shout out loud Fill them up until you start throwing up Woke up late with a heavy head The place is a mess A crazy rave Empty bottles thrown away Butts and ashes on the sink Felt the urge to drink again Looked up to the fridge and saw one beer While everyone is still passed out I'll drink this now before they ever find out This is how our weekend goes This is how we let shit go This is how our weekend goes This is how, this is how we let shit go
