Bebeng

Come on rain
Pour 'em down
and make me lazy
Make me lazy...

Come on rain
Slow me down
and make me lazy
Make me lazy...

Summer's not yet over
But your raindrops fall
like the tears in my eyes
flooding the streets
of my emotions
filling the emptiness
of my heart

The chill of your breeze
is what I really need
holding me, slowing me down.
That cold embrace
reminds me of the kisses
and empty promises
are warm but blown away.

Stop the time,
Slow things down,
I don't want to end this...
... but I need to rest.

Mute

Speechless...
I guess I will always be
speechless...
...for you

When I first saw you
We were both strangers
I am a traveler
Searching an oasis like you
and I was...

Speechless...
When I first saw you
speechless...
...for you

...unable to believe
that an oasis like you
would trust a wounded
vagabond like me
and I was...

Speechless...
When I first heard you...
speechless...
...for you

...startled, stunned and awed
when I started to love you
and hoped to be with you
and wished to take your hand
and I was...

Speechless...
When I loved you...
speechless...
...for you

...sad because I knew from the start
that I can never have your heart
the desert will always have you
and my journey has not ended
and I was...

Speechless...
When I felt pain...
speechless...
...for you

...silenced by the night,
by you, sending me away
in the middle of nowhere
in this sea of sand
and I was...

Speechless...
When I was denied
speechless...
...for you

...left with no choice
but to accept my fate
as a traveler with an
unmapped destination
and I am...

Speechless...
That I have to leave...

speechless
for now.

Tabularasa

Tignan mo ang blankong papel na ito
amuyin mo ang putok ng tinta
at tikman mo ang pait ng diwa
sipsipin mo ang putang inang ito
baka sakaling maintindihan mo
ang dahilan, ang sakit, ang lungkot
ulol na ulol ang iyong damdamin
ramdam mo na walang laman
lagi ka na lang bang ganyan?
alam mo namang wala na
at alam mo ding lipas na
lagi na lang bang puso?
repapips, meron ka pang natitira
ubod pa nga ng dami, siksik liglig pa
at wag mong hayaang maubos 'to
babalik sa dami ang dating naubos na
sako-sako, balu-balungkos
ang isang ito ay hindi na, parang bula
at dito malalaman mo, ito ay mahalaga...
Tignan mo ang blankong isipan mo!

Lumipad Ka

Sige lumipad ka
iaangat mo ang iyong mga paa
at iwagayway mo ang iyong mga pakpak

Sige lipad na
hayaan mo lang dumaloy ang hangin sa ilalim ng iyong
katawan

Hayaan mo lang kusa kang liparin
kung saan ka man madako
hayaan mong doo'y mapadpad din

Sige lumipad ka, lumipad ka!
iwanan mo ang makamundong lupa na ito
iwanan mo ang makalupang mundo

Lipad na, ngayon na...
