I’m not gonna pretend that I know what you’re going through
But let me tell you I know exactly how you want to get through it
It’s a never ending battle inside of your head
Whenever you are alone sometimes you just wish to end it
I was there too
Maybe not the same place you are in now
But I know it was so dark and so hard you want to get out
And it’s loud
I may not know your exact pain
But I know pain is painfulIt’s plain and simple
Like needles in your brain
Each shake it aches and trembles
Like needless to say,
I pray one day no more struggles
Soon, you’ll get up, you’ll wake up and get out of this nightmare
Just keep dreaming until your dreams are in arms length
No matter how heavy life can be
Keep lifting
Weights either slow you down
Or it could be strengthening you
When everything is pitch black
And you can’t find home
Remember to never surrender
Cuz you’re never alone
When the tide is high
Or the sky is low
You’re never alone
When everyone says goodbye
I’ll say hello
You’re never alone
When pain casts a sword
Swinging athwart
Back and forth
You still gotta move forward
No one knows that you are torn
But pen’s mightier than a sword
Always keep that in mind
Right now is the right time to write
Unleash the anguish
Pen or swordYou decide
You’d be fine
You will find
Unified
From divided
Heart and mind
If tonight is darker
Always be in flight
Even though the skies aren’t shined
The sun shall rise
Tomorrow, maybe no more sorrow
No more feeling hollow
Everyone can be a hero
From this borrowed time
I wonder if we stop and bother
To stop for one another
This world would definitely be a better place to wander
Let each other be a reminder
We are a piece of each other
Be the peace in each other
Let’s stand together
When you find your way out
Find your way back in
Find the lost ones
Help them find the strength to keep going
And tell them
When the tide is high
Or the sky is low
You’re never alone
When everyone says goodbye
I’ll say hello
You’re never alone
Pick up a pen and invite your mind to write
The right type of writing till the light is blinding
Inspire them ignite their desires
Despite when the time is not on their side
Just remind them
Pain subsides Eyes will survive this drowning
The sun shines it dries the whys were stuck in
It outsizes the darkness the we’re locked in
But the pages of scars will run outJust keep writing
Just a saved soul is all that I need to stay strong
And prove that pen is still mightier than a sword
Don’t feel your worth has decreased in any sort
I got my ears not just listening but hearing your each song
Just keep writing, let the words find your way home
I’ll be with you through the cold night or any storm
We’ll find your mic and we’ll find the voice of your own
Sing it with me
Let’s tell them you’re never alone
Never
When the tide is high
Or the sky is low
You’re never alone
When everyone says goodbye
I’ll say hello
You’re never alone

Show/Hide Lyrics
One day I dreamed about the stars and becoming one
To have a billion dollars in the bank
I have begun to think of a billion ways
To make good use of my time
And no second goes to waste
I write what I want to remind myself to do
And I don’t know who do I talk to
When I’m feeling the blues
And there were times I feel so down
Reminds me of my hometown
When we got couple coins in our pockets
To feed our unhealthy habits
Beer, brandy and cigarettes
Maybe too young to see what the real value of life is
If only my tolerance to substances would make me rich
Then, I remember a brother who’s sadly fallen down and left his kids
I thank him for the memories
Said I won’t end up like this
He taught me a lesson that consequences
Could bite like a bitch
Moved to the city
College and job definitely they kept me busy
Moved across the world
Resided in a different country
I quenched my thirst
When I moved from the third world to the first
I drank the words
As I listen to the music I’m hearing here in the chorus
I don’t mind it when I am blinded when I see the lights
I dreamed of the city life
Make a couple millions
First then billions
I can see the life
That I have envisioned
Dedication, admiration for my dreams
They’re my fire and ice
I will put on something nice
For tonight, I’d pour the wine
A fine cigar I’d light
I’m celebrating life
And every night is fancy night
We used to share a glass
And pass it around
We’re passing out
We’re cracking jokes
We’re passing smoke
Until the sun is out
We’d play ball on the court
On a table we’d afford to put some red horse or sisig
Whenever we won
If we lose we drink bilog or Emperador
The more I think about it
The more I’m wanting it more
Yeah I miss it
I’m listening to the music
I said it
I’m reminiscing
I’m wishing that it should never have ended
But we have our own paths
And I had to take mine
The music just leads me
I’ll ride on this jeepney
Now this is going to be personal
I’m showing my arsenal
A little bit emotional
Ocean I’d swim it, cuz why shouldn’t I?
I am thinking, I’m missing
the singing as we were sitting on a curb
Tuning the strings before strumming
Every night is superb
Adjective and verbs, I’d use
Till the absurdity of longing the place where I belong in abandons me
Vulnerability is seen through my poems and beats
Missing the sounds of our streets
Discreet tears kissing my cheeks
But I need to keep going
Only thing I’m seeing is myself
Just looking back to where I came from
I might have not quite said hi, how have you been?
Have you been fine?
But never think there was a day
That you didn’t cross my mind
Motherland,I may sound like a villain
Using a different tongue when I’m spitting
Using a different accent that I’m faking
So they’d understand what I’m saying
I’m feeling I’m willing to kill and get killed
I’m bringing an ending to anyone, anything
Putting a shame to your name
Every time it drives me insane
Selfish gains, it pains me
Cuz our blood is the same
I’m bleeding just bleep it
So fuck it I’m just keeping it real
Let’s be united
Blue, white and red and 3 stars and a sun
Our journey has begun
Let’s become who we want to become
