9: 34 Rantings
there will be so much
ruin, if i change,
there is no need
or if there be i do
not wish that this
too can ruin you
let the days pass
like routine
old buses, worn out
cabs, rusty jeepneys
same parks, dusty roads,
littered seas,
watch capsized boats
easy-rides turning turtles
chaos is fun,
disorder is order
the menu for the day is
always always
expect some stars tonight
hope for the full moon
you see, it is a matter of
seeing, and what matters is
the moment feeling feeling
this always as always
this sense of forever
that we sense we know
shall come and take us
like passing days

Fundamental of Liar Chapter CXXVI: Ruin
Do not ruin a good story
Do not ruin a perfect plan
Do not ruin a flawless lie
Do not ruin a great sacrifice
Do not ruin a hard work
Do not ruin a long trust
Do not ruin a magical moment
Do not ruin a golden opportunity
Do not ruin the current mood
Do not ruin an innocent dream
Do not ruin a sweet memory
Do not ruin a fair game
Do not ruin a mutual agreement
Do not ruin a smiling face
Do not ruin the flowing river
Do not ruin the sequence order
Do not ruin the standard procedure
Do not ruin the prepared show
Do not ruin a complete circle
Do not ruin a final ending
Do not ruin the leisure time
Do not ruin the aiming shot
Do not ruin the hidden purpose
Do not ruin a genius idea
Do not ruin the dead price
Do not ruin a determined mind

The Days That Matter
In the past it was,
'What mattered the most.'
Everything was, 'a matter of fact.'
And I didn't, unless;
'It was a matter of comon sense.'
Handled of course
'In a succinct matter discretely.'
Now as the rays of the sun
Race away behind the clouds
As the shadows grow deeper
Across my days
And the west of my life
Glows gold and blue fades to gray
I'm left with this hollow feeling
whispering in my ear
Hissing asking; 'What really matters? '
And as I watch the last grains
Of a handfull of sand
Slide throughy fingers
that old saying echoes in my head
'It won't matter
In a hundred yeard.'

Variations on a Theme by Joyce
The war is in words and the wood is the world
That turns beneath our rootless feet;
the vines that reach, alive and snarled,
Across the path where the sand is swirled,
Twist in the night. The light lies flat.
The war is in words and the wood is the world.
The rain is ruin and our ruin rides
The swiftest winds; the wood is whorled
And turned and smoothed by the turning tides.
--There is rain in the woods, slow rain that breeds
The war in the words. The wood is the world.
This rain is ruin and our ruin rides.
The war is in words and the wood is the world,
Sourceless and seized and forever filled
With green vine twisting on wood more gnarled
Than dead men's hands. The vines are curled
Around these branches, crushed and killed.
The war is in words and the wood is the world.

Going to Have Fun
I am going to have fun.
Even if it is done at your expense.
I had been the one,
Seeking sense when there was none.
And feeling betrayed,
As I withessed thoughtlessness displayed.
Oh, I am going to have fun.
You can consider that activity,
One already welcomed!
Yes...
I am going to have fun.
Even if it is done at your expense.
I had been the one,
Seeking sense when there was none.
And in these days lived,
I do not expect any to come.
Call it what you wish.
But I don't dish out negativity.
Nor do I accept it!

Moonspell
Breaking through the wandering clouds
the white light being spread from above
Giving me chills and making me want to sit there, all night
the full moon in all it's glory,
is calling to me, untill the morning
waiting for some attention, the wolves howl
blistering my thoughts,
the full moon's reflection in my eyes
feeling a distant sense of animality
disturbing my routine with insanity
wondering where I stand,
Looking in a lake,
the full moon reflected in my hand

These Days
These days, Ive been feeling lucky
Looking all around me
I see so many dreams that have come true
Like me right next to you
Like the angels coming through
These days have only just begun
Someone to come home to
Each and every night
All of my tomorrows
Are finally looking bright
Oh what, I wont rush it,
Why would I dare?
Nothing could compare
To the way Ive been feeling these days
They are the best Ive ever had
And they have only just begun
Here we were so connected
Like the moon is to the sun
I never thought Id feel this way
Cos all I ever really wanted is these days
If I could, Id try to freeze the moment
Set aside the future
Stay right here right now
So time wont fly
Like the flame that never dies
Like the love thats in your eyes
These days have only just begun
Something to believe in
When the world is going mad
And when the rain is crashing down girl
It doesnt seem so bad
Oh what, I wont rush it
Why would I dare?
Nothing could compare
To the way Ive been feeling these days
They are the best Ive ever had
And they have only just begun
Here we were so connected
Like the moon is to the sun
I never thought Id feel this way
Cos all I ever really wanted is these days
They are the best Ive ever had
And they have only just begun
Here we were so connected
Like the moon is to the sun
I never thought Id feel this way
Cos all I ever really wanted is these days
They are the best Ive ever had and they have only just begun...

On & On - Better Day B-side
Even while Ive got my word it goes on and on
On and on, it goes on and on
Seen my fortune and I lift my words and they are everything
Oh oh, they are everything
Sailing boats and open roads can seem to pass you by
But sailing boats and open roads can pass you in disguise
Seen my days and oh I swear they go on and on
Oh oh, they go on and on
Have ? ? ? and it seems to work and it says everything
Oh oh, it goes on and on
Repeat first verse

And I Lust
And I lust
lust for feeling
As I watch it crumble to dust
And stand in its majestic ruin
Readily do I sit in solitude weeping
Grieving the severance of my hopes
Without ever speaking of how I
Claw open the eyes of those dreaming
As I lust
lust for meaning
And watch as it turn to dusk
Standing around its majestic ruin
Verily have I been broken
Inevitable that it should happen again
But have I not also spoken
Words to the effect of causing an end
To their lust
Or rather its hopefulness
As they watch it crumble to dust
And stand in its majestic ruin
There is no puzzle to be a part of
And I am a key which fits in no lock
A Matter Of Feeling
(lebon, rhodes, taylor)
How does it feel, when everyone surrounds you?
How do you deal, do crowds make you feel lonely?
What do you say?
When people come and try to pin you down?
Aquaintainces smile, but thats no understanding.
How after a while, you keep falling off the same mountain.
Try to explain it, but nothing really gets that high.
Steal away in the morning, loves already history to you
Just a habit youre forming, this bodys desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling.
This moments madness sure to pass
And tears will dry as youre leaving
Who knows you might find something to last..
Emotions a game , saved up for a rainy monday
But you laugh just the same, cause its been pouring on sunday;
Call up your numbers and never let the zeros let you down.
How does it feel?
Is time to heavy to hold, whatever you decide for the moment is holy,
Whenever you slow down to see life is passing by.
(chorus)
(you can..)
(chorus)
A matter of feeling..
A matter of feeling..
A matter of feeling..
A matter of feeling..

(Life&Death Poem) A Erosion
A erosion has already started.
It is just a matter time.
It is as infinite as the stars.
Yet so limited to us as human beings,
Some turtles and birds have a span longer then ours.
And we tortured by it with a sense of our own mortality.
Who will receive that card and when?
Your existence has come to an end.
And you can only hope to be remembered for what good you have done or accomplished.
But of all eventualities the one that most certainly will come to pass is the knowledge of you will not last.
The only question is how fast.

Atlantique :
Gotta learn the way to turn
Hat over eye
Feeling dead more than alive
Give her something to rely on
One more time.
No one hears the sound
Fear is all around
Turn the music loud
No more lullaby.
No way in, no way out
Empty talk and tv shouts
Got to find the way around
No, you aint no lifer
In this town.
No one hears the sound
Fear is all around
Turn the music loud
No more lullaby.
Stop the beat, hear the sound
Time has come for you to speak
Your mind
Cant you hear the sound?
Chaos all around
Turn the music loud
No more lullaby
Dee-dee-dee x2
Learn to fly.

How To Ruin Everything
There's something wrong with me I don't know
if it's not just inside my head
It feels like I'm walking through a dream
I still remember what you said
I know that everything will be alright
It's going to work out for the best
I think there must be something better still
It isn't really so far-fetched
You know I'll go running out
and ruin everything
You know I'll go running out
and ruin everything
It's hard to trust in somebody else
responsible for your success
But in the end I know it's up to me
I live my life with no regrets
So tell me everything I want to hear
What do you like about me best?
I've been a king and I've been a fool
I'm not about to give up yet
You know I'll go running out
and ruin everything
You know I'll go running out
and ruin everything
I've had enough of the promises
I've had enough of empty threats
Some people wait for opportunity
Why should I wait? I haven't yet
I want to burn down the prejudice
I want to destroy the evidence
Is all that really matters what you're worth?
Then what is it worth for your two cents?
You know I'll go running out
and ruin everything
You know I'll go running out
and ruin everything

Winter Fantasy
Some experts say winter makes us sad
Days are shorter, sulight not as bright
But there is a truism, I might add
Despite short days, I love the night
To watch the moon reflect through trees
And count footprints in newly fallen snow
Feeling a chill with each passing breeze
Imagining I was playing down below
Feeling silky snow beneath my feet
Making tracks anyone can follow
Shaking the snow off as I cross the street
This is someone’s dream, I thought I’d borrow

After An Illness
AFTER AN ILLNESS
After an illness
The feeling of being alright again
Is a special kind of happiness -
Gratitude and a sense of Blessing
Hope and the feeling of Beginning again-
I have been sick and troubled in my sickness for days now
How good it is to feel I can walk out into the fresh air again

Welcome To My Kitchen
Welcome to my kitchen
I will just about be dishin'
Up as much as you can take
Scoop my heart into a plate
Step into the light
And my eyes are open wide
Let me flash at you a smile
That I've been practising a while
As much as you can take
If I fall off the stage
Will you feel fully entertained
Well I really don't mind
If you're not listenin'
I could be myself
I could be somebody else
There's a million other people
That I'd rather be
But its much
Too much too late
Oh welcome tonight
Hope you're feeling alright
I could be cornering myself
Out here in a daze
Don't believe what I say
I'm full of promises of
I should be alone
You know I shoulda stayed at home
But these butterflies inside
Wanna take me for a ride
Its over pretty quickly
Still it makes me feel quite sickly
And I hope that you don't mind
You know I do it all the time
I often wonder why
Oh welcome tonight
Hope you're feeling alright
I could be cornering myself
Out here in a daze
Don't believe what I say
I'm full of promises
Ah la la la la
Hope you're feeling alright
Oh welcome tonight
Hope you're feeling alright

Deep sense
Deep sense of attachment
When mother hands over with some sweet comments
That can be anything ranging from jewels
To some invaluable and pearls
Sometimes they are sweet memories linked to the past
Their life may be nearing end very fast
Time may not left in their hand
So they may need to pass it on at the end
Their tone gets emotional
Their approach too becomes rationale
All goes swiftly with their change
But after all it is routine with the age
All parents may wish the same
They may have misery in life or fame
But at the end it matters less
When hard reality are on the way to face
It might be linked with glorious heritage
Everything might have looked now old and vintage
Yet it carries sentimental value
They may want it nice burial with proper due
How emotional they become while handing over!
As something has been passed on willingly to others
It may have enormous feeling and significance
As it was cherished by them at once
I could see the tremendous satisfaction
Her eyes speak of and give indication
That it has been passed on to safe hands and place
And this gives flow on their face
Some words may not be heard at last moment
Yet we could make it from their lips movement
It may be a sense of deep fulfillment
As had waited for heavenly bless and sent

For You And I
The world is full of other people (ooh ooh)
take a look around
We're quick to laugh when they've got troubles (ooh ooh)
and we put 'em down
We go
We're not so hot you know
It's like a roller coaster
On a downward motion
On a one way street
We can't control our feet
We're on the road to ruin
Don't know what we're doin'
She may be quiet
She may be shy
But don't you bring her down
Don't pass her by
The world of wisdom behind her eyes
Could answer everything
But you and I
We seem to wander in a daydream (ooh ooh)
We never look around
The world is full of other people (ooh ooh)
and we put 'em down
We go
We're not so hot you know
It's like a roller coaster
On a downward motion
On a one way street
We can't control our feet
We're on the road to ruin
Don't know what we're doin'
She's not beautiful
But don't make it plain
You underestimate
It's not a game
A heart of gold
Behind the drab
Would comfort anyone
But you and I
Should try to see it from the other side (oooh)
We'll get a shock
It could surprise you
The world is full of other people (ooh ooh)
take a look around
We set the pace while others listen (ooh ooh)
never make a sound
The rain must fall
But we can change
Our understanding
will remain
So take a moment
To wonder why
The world keeps turning
For you and I

Heart Ache
The days grow older,
The nights get me weaker.
I still cannot forget the life we shared.....
Am tired of tears,
With more pain to gain.
I bleed consistency on the inside,
With a joy full smile on the outside...
With such emotional feeling
With a physical feeling I can't explain...
Have my heart torn
And am drowning in pain, with no sense being found...
Mind, body and soul can't handle this pain,
Cause it is not my destiny.
Tryin to clue my heart together
it not that easy,
But nothing in life comes freely.
Hey such is life.

Your Happiness Matters
I'm sending you some humor
to brighten up your day,
may you smile or even laugh
and feel that life's okay.
I hope you escape the worry
of what others think of you,
you are seen in a better light
than what you think is true.
Your mind is full of thought
and the idea may seem real,
don't let worry in your heart
because it matters how you feel.
Take a break from the day
to help ease the inner pain,
some days you feel depressed
but there is hope after the rain.
Don't give up on the joys of life
when you aren't feeling good,
you are the better person
doing everything you should.
As a friend you are there
when others need a hand,
There are many there for you
that care and understand.
You are fun to be around
and happiness has its way,
You are liked for being you
no matter what you say.
Some days you may struggle
and no longer want to try,
so, enjoy the funny moments
and forget what makes you cry.

Tonight And Forever
(words and music by Joe Jackson)
You know you're gonna have to face up to the facts
You're just another face in a big crowd
You know we gotta try hard to relax
We can laugh - but not too loud
It's never like you see in a magazine
And you don't even know what you mean to me
And I don't understand this feeling
But I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
Tonight and forever
You drive me crazy and you say that you'll never change
And I could never do what you want to
Don't you find the whole thing a little strange
I don't even know if I like you
It's never like you see on a movie screen
But there's something that you do to me
And I'm not sure that I believe it
But I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
Tonight and forever
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever
