These lies had paid off,
I need another night to sing.
But how long will you stay?
'Cause all of the reasons you'd taken for granted,
Had been granted.
Now as you can see,
I'm happy, but not now,
I'd traded it for the rest of my life.
I lose it all by gluing this heart.
Yes, you see me,
But can you heal me?
I need, another dose of life.
'Cause all of the treasons you'd taken credit,
Falls back to your hip,
I wish you were asleep.
Ohh I'd wished you well.

Frozen Creek
I enjoy writing songs because it gave me the dreams of being able to communicate with people by means of verbal and non-verbal noises clinging to each other. But I dare not say that I do well in this interest of mine as I couldn't make words come alive no matter how hard I try, and I still couldn't find that one special ingredient that would possibly make this broth of mine edible.
There's this one song by Circa Survive entitled 'Frozen Creek' that made me felt totally lost between every lines of words that Anthony sang, and both Ekstrom and Frangicetto made it felt like this song is actually crying. I'm sure that if I ever indulge to letting numbness takes over my brain again, this song will surely be the song that will drives me suicidal. It's not like I'm inclined to kill myself but all I'm trying to stress here is Circa Survive had successfully touched the back of my brain without having to smash my skull. I could listen to this song at any given time and will then start feeling empty the moment the first line of words come in. I've been a follower of Circa Survive ever since their very first album and I had barely managed to get myself out of their every hypnotic songs since then, yet this song made me felt like getting out isn't perhaps the best thing to do. I love my life and this song somehow made me realized that now. I do know that not everyone will share the same view as mine regarding this song, but for once, if you put yourself in the writer's position and you were to sing that song given all of the things the writer had went through then you'll know exactly what I mean. And it is stated in the band's official blog, during the process of making the album 'Blue Sky Noise' , Anthony had to be checked in to a mental institution due to what he states as a situation of "mentally bankrupt and ruined with self-doubt."
"I feel like it says a million things. It’s all in the album, and it’s all in the other albums. It’s a bunch of unsaid stuff that I haven’t recorded yet. Every album is a chapter and a step toward the truth. And you’re never going to get there, you just have to keep going and going. I want this record to be in the world. It only makes sense out there. I’m like a pregnant mother about to explode. I just want it out there. It’s weighing me down and I love it so much and I just want it to be alive so I can put it to my teat."

wish you were here
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl.
Year after year, running over the same old ground. What have we found?
The same old fears.
I wish you were here.
I wish you were here.
*a cover of Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here'.*

no it isn't.
Curse my enemies forever, let’s slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful. This desperation leaves me overjoyed with fading lights that lead us past the lives that we destroy.
I listen to you cry I cry for less attention, but both my hands are tied and I’m pushed into the deep end.
I listen to you talk but talk is cheap and my mouth is filled with blood from trying not to speak.
So search for an excuse and someone to believe you in foreign dressing rooms. I’m empty with the need to curse my enemies forever, let’s slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful. This desperation leaves me overjoyed with fading lights that lead us past the lives that we destroy. Please understand.
I lay rotting where I fall. I'm dead from bad intentions, suffocated and enbalmed. And now all our dreams are cashed in you swore you wouldn't lose, then lost your brain. You make a sound that feels like pain.
So please understand. This isn’t just goodbye, this is I can’t stand you."

Kicking Your Crosses Down
But we won't be saved, we'll live as slaves to love what God takes away. Let's refill all your holes with mud. "Purchase your tickets; I'm kicking your crosses down" .
In case it gets away from us don't pull it close. The damage revealed the cost and it wasn't worth it. We're all going to hell.
But we won't be saved, we'll live as slaves to love what God takes away. Let's refill all your holes with mud. "Purchase your tickets; I'm kicking your crosses down"
And all the voices sound just like you. I'll be there, I'll be there.
Breathe in, breathe in. It's been so long, I've felt so wrong again.
I fixed myself up nice but you never came. The words rolled off our backs and sound the same. I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting, I hope that it's worth it but I'll never know.
Circa Survive - Kicking Your Crosses Down
The #4 track off the Circa's second album "On Letting Go" . The lyric's a bit off the hook but overall it's a good song. Anthony Green really is an inspiring songwriter and I can't help but to think all sorts of things whenever I listened to his products. There's a lot of people who'd still blabbering about his success with Saosin but I guess people really change whether we like it or not. He'd changed from an aggressive writer to a more subtle sophisticated writer.

Changing :)
Bathing in the afterglow of chance and luck and pride, where we end up we could never know. All I know is we seem to be changing, it's better to turn and walk away. Fading, all these lights just turn to grey, but the strange thing is that I don't feel a thing.
This is just an act, stop holding back. The things you lost cannot replace what's missing. And from the start you'd played the part and now your heart becomes a great deception.
Go figure. Peace, Empathy, Pen off :)

The Alarming Sound Of A Still Small Voice
I just felt so high inside
I move along, I shuffled in place then backhand
and you're pulling me in
Will I ever find anyone?
You make me feel like I've been lost somewhere
Now it's morning so it's over now it's over
Am I right where I need to be or is this another distraction?
Is this how I'm supposed to feel?
I've been trying to wake you
Is there a change you need to see or is this another disaster?
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel
I've been trying to wake you
No this is never what I wanted
Never what I thought I signed up for
and I keep moving away to the edge
then I'll decide whether jump or stay asleep
Sometimes the leap of faith is all
Faith is all we have. Why won't you tell me?
Am I right where I need to be or is this another distraction?
Is this how I'm supposed to feel?
I've been trying to wake you
Is there a change you need to see or is this another disaster?
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel
I've been trying to wake you up.
Why won't you wake up?
Wake up. Nobody's sleeping anymore
And I've had enough of the ground
Made my escape fell in love with the sound
And I'll pound my fists till you wake up
So why aren't you waking up?
When the sun is coming out
When the sun is coming out
And I can't hide here anymore
no, no, on no. When the sun is coming out
Am I right where I need to be or is this another distraction?
Is this how I'm supposed to feel?
I've been trying to wake you
Is there a change you need to see or is this another disaster?
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel
I've been trying to wake you up.
Why won't you wake up?
Why won't you wake up?
Why won't you wake me up?
The #6 track off of Saosin's 2nd full-length album entitled 'In Search Of Solid Ground'. The very first time I listened to this album, i was pretty much stoked and errmm pretty much was annoyed by the drastic change they had made to their music. The album was pretty like pop-ish and sounds like the album was targeting for the mainstream market. But I was wrong for when the 2nd time I'd listened to the album, I noticed something vastly different. It wasn't obvious nor obnoxious, but I noticed it somehow that their music is now singing along with the vocal. Before, the guitar riffs and leads were merely just skills and techniques to highlight the idea of expressing their genre but now, ohh you can even feel high by just listening to the music. This song in particular is a grave sad song that I 'enjoyed' so much that dahi saya berkerut sebab fokus sangat kat lagu ni. I can feel the emotions and the storyline vividly through Cove's voice together along with the band's music. It was orgasmic! This song is super sad that when Saosin played this during their show in KL, I can't help but to stop moshing and just take a time out and gaze and stare to everything there at the venue. The view? Priceless. I'd seen how truthfully the earth always seems static in satellite pictures yet in our daily life, even a picture might worth a thousand story :) . Try and have a listen to this song eyh mate? Peace, Empathy, Pen Off ;')

Communication
For 27 years I’ve been trying to believe and confide in
Different people I’ve found.
Some of them got closer than others
And some wouldn’t even bother and then you came around
I didn’t really know what to call you, you didn’t know me at all
But I was happy to explain.
I never really knew how to move you
So I tried to intrude through the little holes in your veins
And I saw you
But that’s not an invitation
That’s all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I’ve seen you, I know you
But I don’t know
How to connect, so I disconnect
You always seem to know where to find me and I’m still here behind you
In the corner of your eye.
I’ll never really learn how to love you
But I know that I love you through the hole in the sky.
Where I see you
And that’s not an invitation
That’s all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I’ve seen you, I know you
But I don’t know
How to connect, so I disconnect
Well this is an invitation
It’s not a threat
If you want communication
That’s what you get
I’m talking and talking
But I don’t know
How to connect
And I hold a record for being patient
With your kind of hesitation
I need you, you want me
But I don’t know
How to connect, so I disconnect
I disconnect.

So Long, Goodbye :)
Time passes by, direction unknown
You've left us now but we're not alone
Before you know it your cup's overflown
You measured no one that I've ever known
And it's quite alright
And goodbye for now
Just look up to the stars
And believe who you are
Cause it's quite alright
And so long, goodbye
We always knew that it'd come to this
It's times like these i forget what i miss
Matters of heart are hard to address
Especially when yours is full of emptiness
And it's quite alright
And goodbye for now
Just look up to the stars
And believe who you are
Cause it's quite alright
And so long, goodbye
Well time passes by, direction unknown
You've left us now but we're not alone
Before you know it your cup's overflown
You measured no one that I've ever known
And it's quite alright
And goodbye for now
Just look up to the stars
And believe who you are
Cause it's quite alright
And so long, goodbye.

SHUT UP :')
"Get the fuck up", she said "your life is meaningless it's going nowhere, you're going nowhere. you're just a fuck-up." she said "I'll live alone instead" she said "you don't care," I know I don't care. I'll never ask permission from you, fuck off I'm not listening to you. I'm not coming home, I'm never going to come back home :) .
I got too fucked up again, and passed out on the plane tried to forget you, i can't forget you. No sleep on this flight, I'll think about the nights we had to get through. How did we get through? I'll never ask permission from you, fuck off I'm not listening to you. I'm not coming home, I'm never going to come back home :)
I'll run away. I think it's time that I should leave. I'll never ask permission from you, fuck off i'm not listening to you. I'm not coming home, I'm never going to come back home :)
I think it's time for me to leave :)

where oh where?
later in life, i learnt many many new stuffs and i tend to write more on heavy sensitive issues rather than the easy-listening stuffs. i wrote more on humanity and love. i even tried on political issues but i was never great at that subject. there are many good songs written back then, but i was aiming high. good won't do, yet great will barely suffice. i was aiming for excellency. good songs are kept aside until at one point i couldn't even remember the melody of my own written songs. berlagak la katakan. rasa diri dah cukup bagus. padahal tulis merapu.
but seriously, the point of me posting this entry is because nak mengadu yang sekarang ni saya nak tulis lagu pon tak reti langsung dah. haiiihhh ;'( . another beloved hobby went lost. Peace, Empathy, Pen Off :'*

this is suicide season ;'(
this band has a great number of fans yet sadly, most of them are girls who are only interested with the frontman, Oliver Sykes, but not at all at their music. it's true that Oli has a great moral issues lingering his every presence, but throughout interviews you'll see that him and the others are a bunch of very sensitive guys who are aware of the surrounding's current tribulation. i ain't much of a great fan but i'm really digging Suicide Season. a song available in their previous album entitled "Suicide Season". here's a video with lyrics below. it's a very superbly-moving-and-touching sad song wrote excellently by them guys. enjoy ;')
We stare at broken clocks, the hands don't turn anymore
The days turn into nights, empty hearts and empty places
The day you lost him, I slowly lost you too
For when he died, he took a part of you
No time for farewells, no chances for goodbyes
No explanations, no fucking reasons why
I watched it eat you up, pieces fallen on the floor
We stare at broken clocks, the hands don't turn anymore
If only sorrow could build a staircase, or tears could show the way
I would climb my way to Heaven, and bring him back home again
Don't give up hope my friend, this is not the end
We stare at broken clocks, the hands don't turn anymore
The days turn into nights, empty hearts and empty places
The day you lost him, I slowly lost you too
For when he died, he took a part of you
Death is only a chapter
So let's rip out the pages of yesterday
Death is only a horizon
And I'm ready for my sun...
I'm ready for my sun to set
This is suicide season!
If only sorrow could build a staircase, or tears could show the way
We would climb our way to Heaven, and bring him home again
If only sorrow could build a staircase, or tears could show the way
We would climb our way to Heaven, and bring him home again
If only sorrow could build a staircase, or tears could show the way
We would climb our way to Heaven, and bring him home again
We would do anything to bring him back to you
We would do anything to end what you're going through
If only sorrow could build a staircase, or tears could show the way
I would climb my way to Heaven, and bring him home again
I would do anything to bring him back to you
Because if you got him back, I would get back the friend that I once knew

Nothing Is What It Seems Without You
Saosin was a quick bloomer. Upon having their first EP released, their fanbase grew so effing large in such a short period that they were noted as 'the band with the greatest DIY marketing strategy'. EP was so phenomenal that they were soon offered a recording contract with Capitol Records which shook the bandmates so hard that it caused Anthony Green to leave the band. But it was all good, no bad blood or etc. Anthony stated that it was too fast for him and he wasn't ready to leave his family behind for this and so he left in the year 2003. The empty post was later taken in the same year 2003 by Cove Reber who was only 19 when he started for Saosin! He went from a complete no-one to the one with a promising future!
i had always been envying Jakarta because it was amongst the earliest land on Asia to ever have Saosin to perform. I had been counting hours and days that they might plan even maybe a mini show in Malaysia since their first show in Asia. Well my wait ended on the 2nd of February 2010 :) . The show was epic.
It worths the wait. It worths the comments i'd left on their Myspace. It worths the classes i'd skipped. It worths 2 days of no sleep. It worths the beloved guitar that i'd sold. It worths the songs i wrote. It worths reading their discography and Wikipedia entry. It worths viewing every video of them on YouTube. It was worth every single ounce of it ;')
main reason for this entry?
It is official, that Cove Reber had left the band ;'( . I am sooo superbly depressed

Mookie's Last Christmas
I'm told to carry on
Sad overwhelms my senses drown oh I feel dependent
feeling like you were honestly gone
I can't shake it...
Make the same mistake twice
Burst of red and green ALL OVER me.
FREEZE the things that she loves
I should let it fold over AND OVER HER
We count the days left,AND 23 Is all I know
Honestly, could I be protected
With you suddenly gone
feeling that you were honestly gone
I can't shake it...
Make the same mistake twice
Burst of red and green ALL OVER me.
FREEZE the things that she loves
I should let it fold over
Make the same mistake twice
-END-
this is one of many Saosin's great song. it's a song about Justin Shekoski's (Saosin's guitarist) dad who died in a car accident while watching band tour back when Justin was 19. mookie is the name of Anthony's (Saosin's vocal back then, now Cove Reber) dog. yet the whole idea of this song is about the sad loss Justin endured back then. my favorite line is "Sad overwhelms my senses drown oh I feel dependent" really intense. you guys should really listen to the acoustic version. 'cause it's a blast! try to smoke some weed and listen to it, you'll cry. believe me, YOU'LL CRY.

It's Never Enough
and keep pretending that we're not alone.
i know that this isn't just as what we think of,
and i see that we're falling down.
(c=)
i won't ever let us fall down,
i wont't let u see me crashing down,
'cause everytime i'm looking at you,
i see lies,
staring back and pointing back at me.
i've seen it all enough to say that i've tried to held in, but then you stepped out. i don't even get you and all those games you play, it makes me wouldn't stay.
(c=)

above is the lyric for a song i wrote back in early 2009. it's a very meaningful piece for me as it is everything about me in a very compact composition. i intended to keep the song short and in utter repetition to clearly denounce the idea of what "ME" stands for. i love this song 'cause it's the only song that i wrote which had never been dedicated to anyone ever. i regard this as mine, solely mine. oh well i did played it a lot of times before in front of friends but that was on the purpose of sharing, not giving. this piece tells a lot about my family and my insight on life.
* if you wanna find out what this song do sounds like, you can check for a video of it at my MySpace profile. i'm not gonna upload it on Facebook. no effing way! and oh, if you do managed to find the video, a notice: that video was recorded approx. at 4am in the morning so there's no way that you'll find the video interesting. anywho, enjoys :) .*

it's all over now :(
You look like you're letting go,
I know that you won't call on me.
You look like you're letting go,
I know what my insticts are telling me.
You're fading out,
It's so hard without you.
This wasn't my fault.
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you?
This is all that I remember before you changed,
You're stuck in a dream with next to nothing.
I'm all alone and nothing is what it seems,
Without you next to me.
Sometimes it feels like home,
So safe in the shade.
But when the summer fades,
There's always something missing.
And now that I'm on my own I know why you just, just couldn't stop,
And why you had to leave.
It's so hard without you.
This wasn't my fault.
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you?
This is all that I remember before you changed.
You're stuck in a dream with next to nothing.
I'm all alone and nothing is what it seems,

I never imagined I would feel so lost,
I never imagined this would be so hard.
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you?
This is all that I remember before you changed.
You're stuck in a dream with next to nothing.
I'm all alone and nothing is what it seems.
Without you next to me.

Peace, Love, Empathy :)
anyhoo, i was browsing for circa survive videos on youtube to listen to their acoustics, and i found across this. a video of circa survive doing a cover of nirvana's song entitled 'dumb'. enjoy the emotions poured :) .
(do any of you 4 followers have any idea why the title is "Peace,Love,Empathy"? those words are the last words written by kurt cobain in his life. his last words written in his suicide note :( .)
I'm not like them, but I can pretend. The sun is gone, but I have a light
The day is done, I'm having fun. I think I'm dumb, or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy (x3)
My heart is broke, but I have some glue. Help me inhale and mend it with you
We'll float around and hang out on clouds. Then we'll come down, and have a hangover.
Have a hangover (x3)
Skin the sun, fall asleep.
Wish away, soul is cheap.
Lesson learned, wish me luck.
Soothe the burn
Wake me up
I'm not like them, but I can pretend. The sun is gone, but I have a light
The day is done, I'm having fun. I think I'm dumb, or Maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy (x3)
I think I'm Dumb (x12)
sad ;'(
