Manhid…
Ako’y manhid
Magdamag na nakahiga sa sahig
Banig
Kahit may banig
Nakapako ang kamay sa sahig
May anghel na dumaan
At unti unti ako’ng tinatayo
Sa aking kinalalagyan
Inabot n’ya ang susi
Sa sasakyang patungo
Sa gitna ng araw at buwan
Di ko man alam kung saan na pupunta
Basta’t magmamaneho lang hanggang
Sa may pumara
Para na
May maglalakad sa tubig
Para na
Lumulutang na pag-ibig
Para na
Di na kaya pa’ng kumabig
Para na
O ayoko ng umibig
Tawid…
Ako’y tatawid
Sa di masukat na dilim ng langit
Lamig...
Ako’y nanlalamig
Habang lumilipad humihigpit ang kapit
May demonyo’ng dumaan
At ako’y tinutuksong bumaba
Sa aking kinalalagyan
Di maiwasang lumingon
Sa lumipas na mga araw at buwan
Di ko man alam kung saan na pupunta
Basta’t magmamaneho lang hanggang
Sa may pumara
Para na
May maglalakad sa tubig
Para na
Lumulutang na pag-ibig
Para na
Di na kaya pa’ng kumabig
Para na
O ayoko ng umibig
Para na
Ako’y maglalakad sa tubig
Para na
O nalilitong pag-ibig
Para na
Di na kaya pa’ng kumabig
Para na
Parang ayoko ng umibig
para na
kung di ikaw ang iibigin…
para na
kung di ikaw ang iibigin.
You grow on me like fungus everyday
Reflecting through a broken iron glass
Disguised you in shape shifting overplay
But I recognize you anyway
Why are you the only one who suffers?
Why are you the only one in pain?
Why are you the only one who suffers?
Why are you the only one in pain?
You vacuumed in cerebral over-fuck
The air stood still and finally changed your luck
Your shadow stains are verbally abused
You’re running fucking backwards in recluse
Why are you the only one who suffers?
Why are you the only one in pain?
Why are you the only one who suffers?
Why are you the only one in pain?
Why am I the only one who suffers?
Why am I the only one in pain?
Why am I the only one who suffers?
Why am I the only one in pain?
Why am I the only one who suffers?
Why am I the only one in pain?
(Why am I the only one?)
Why am I the only one who suffers?
Why am I the only one in pain?
(Why am I the only one?)
Why are you?
I am you!
Why are you?
I am you!
Why am I the only one who suffers?
They found a way to stop the truth
They cut the power line to our booth
They shoot my brother in his own street
His face collapsed on cold hard concrete
Stop shooting mercury
Cold-blooded lunacy
Your golden dynasty
Won’t protect you
They found a way to cut my voice
Blew up my house with high tech toys
They’re watching every move I make
And put my family’s lives at stake
Stop shooting mercury
Cold-blooded lunacy
Your golden dynasty
Won’t protect you
He is the judge
We are the jury
You are the executioner
Ika’y mahuhusgahan
Ika’y mahahatulan
At mabibilanggo sa bayan mo’ng pinabayaan
Mahuhusgahan
Mahahatulan
At mabibilanggo sa bayan mo’ng nilapastangan
I dedicate this song to all the courageous newscasters who put their lives on the line and to some who even paid the price of death just to bring out the truth. -- Wolfmann
You pay big taxes, don’t know where they go
I know you know this
You don’t earn enough in your motherland
And so you move west
People take from people who take from you
You never noticed
You take your orders from the people’s champ
Who grabs you by the wrist
You really wanna know where they put your taxes
Your golden paper fills their arms warehouses
So they can win another beauty contest
And watch them throw stones in their glass warehouses
You pay for the oil of their big machines
I hope you know this
You try to change the digits on the 4-15s
Just like a math quiz
And then you fall prey to the seek and hide
You took the wrong risk
So why don’t we move to the countryside
And start a small biz?
You really wanna know how they use your taxes
A two-way ticket on their weekend passes
And bloat the lower end of our social classes
So they could throw stones in our glass houses
Voice
(Lyrics by K. Meneses; Arrangement by W. Hernandez)
Wrap me in, wrap me in
sweet, sweet chocolate 2x
And hold me in your arms
melt me with your lips
dance with me just this once
on sweet, sweet chocolate
wrap me in, wrap me in
sweet, sweet chocolate 2x
for the slightest reverb of your voice
has touched me and
turned me into
sweet, sweet chocolate
Walk slowly
And dare to realize
The mark you’ve made in other people’s lives
And then gently
Turn and walk away
I’ll see you some other day – I guess
Rest your head
Don’t be scared
And wake up tomorrow morning
To walk the path to where you’re going
Walk slowly
And start to realize
You’ve been there once before
You’ll never have to cry
And then gently
Turn and walk away
We’ll live to share your story
Another day
Hold the rhythm as I make the rhyme this time around
Pick up my bags ‘cause you know I’m going westbound
I gotta leave, I don’t want to, but I have to you know
You know the reason behind it, you can’t tell me not to go
So stop making faces
No you can’t make me erase this
You can’t make me cry right here
You know I’m saving all my tears till I get there
I’d like to toast this bottle of beer for you
Thank you
So toast this bottle of beer with me now
Walk slowly
And start to realize
You’ve been there once before
You’ll never have to cry
And then gently
Turn and walk away
We’ll live to share your story
Another day
