The Harlequin's Mask

Screams from within!

He'll make you laugh till you cry
He'll never stop till he dies
You'll never see tears in his eyes
You'll never know when he cries

His role is that of a jester
He'll make you indulge in laughter
But when the show is all over
he hides and weeps in a corner

He'll take your sorrow away
turn colour black into gray
He'll always be here to stay
until you cast him away

A puppet without strings
who never dances but sings
of a sweet melancholy,
of a life very lonely

He is an irony
unknown to the world
An oblivious infinity
unspeakable in words

The laughter and joy
that he gives to many
who find him a toy
or a cheap commodity

is never appreciated
but taken for granted
when to be loved and accepted
was all that he wanted.

You had your chances, threw ‘em all
I don’t want to be your fool no more
As years gone by, you started to change
Are all the memories bound to fade?

C’mon darling tell me now am I a clown
You don’t want me anymore with him around
Thought that it would never end

Baby, didn’t I tell you that I love you
Baby, didn’t I tell I’d do anything for you
But you just took your separate way
And now you left me with nothing to say

C’mon darling tell me now am I a clown
You don’t want me anymore with them around
Thought that it would never end

You don’t have to worry about me, baby
Coz I’m still breathin’, I’m alright
Just go on and do what you want pretty baby
What's another cold and lonely night?

Love is a Gambit

It makes you lose control
And you would like it
They say it conquers all
You just can’t help it

It’s more than just a feeling
You just can’t explain it
It makes you always yearning
It’s never enough till you lose it

More than a gamble
Love is a gambit
Be sure with your move
Or you’ll regret it

So the next time you take chances
Be ready for the consequences
It could lift you up just to make you fall
And in the end be left with none at all

Some people have more chances in a day
Than others have in a lifetime
But what difference does it make
If I can never make you mine?!

How could you say you love me?
How could you say you care?
How could you be so selfish?
How so unfair

You say you’re sorry if you hurt me
Like I should not have felt pain
As if all the things you’ve done to me
Were just part of some funny game

You say that you didn’t know
And that you didn’t mean it
But you never cared to know
So now, its my fault to believe it?

You never really loved me
You never really cared
You always ignored me
When I was always there

You never even told me
What was going on
As I waited foolishly
While you were moving on

With your happy life
and your happy friends
While I was asking why,
how and when will all this end?

Seven years have passed
Yet it feels like yesterday
Now it ends at last
Your memory dies today!

Stargazer (unfinished song)

You're all I need to keep me sane
All I need is you
Be my shelter from the rain
I can be yours too

Gazing at the star that lights up my sky
I wish you were here and not up there
I just couldn't reach you no matter how I try
I guess all I can do from here is stare

I'm just a stargazer, lightyears away
Searching for answers on this lonely day
waiting for my star to fall
can you hear me at all?

Waitin', I've been waiting here for you
Hoping that in time you'll love me too
I know that I can't make you mine today
But I still, will love you always anyway

Chorus:
Its hard to find the words to define
excactly how I feel
I can't explain how you have changed me
It seems so unreal
(uh..., ha...)

If I only had a clue
All I would like to be's with you
Do you feel the same for me somehow?
I hope that you finally tell me now

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Everything seems out of place
except the memory of you face
Will I ever have you near me?
I guess all I can do is wait and see...

(Chorus)

The Rivermaya Wars (Rico Strikes Back)

Rico Blanco has had enough of his erstwhile bandmates’/friends’ tirades and has finally broken his silence with his new burning song; “Yugto”, his answer to the song of the band calling themselves Rivermaya (which I really think should change their name now and stop clinging to it just for musical and commercial survival); “Maskara”, wherein Rico is intentionally and maliciously depicted as a villain and backstabber just for taking a break and eventually leaving the band after molding it into the band it used to be. ‘Nuff said, here’s the lyrics:

YUGTO
(R. Blanco)

Sa gitna ng kagubatan may ahas na hahalik
Tatawagin kang kaibigan na pinaka matalik
Pupulupot sa leeg mo't sisipsip ng iyong dugo
Ipapako ka sa krus kapag ikaw ay natuyo

Sa gitna ng kaguluhan may kumukulong bulkan
Di ma pigil ang yabang at sakdal na kasakiman
Susubukang angkinin ang lahat ng hindi kanya
Kung kaya kang paikutin tiyak paiikutin ka

Ngunit hindi nila kayang baliin ang iyong loob
Ang pag-ibig na hawak mo'y hindi malulubog

Lumiyab ka... lumiyab...

Sa gitna ng kadiliman may puwitreng nagmamasid
May magbabato ng putik ngunit walang mayayanig
Iiyak ang mga batang nahulugan ng candy
Laging mga problema sa iba'y sinisisi

Sa gitna ng kagubatan may ahas na hahalik
Itinuring mong kaibigan na pinaka matalik
Leeg mo'y pupuluputan dugo mo'y sisipsipin
Kapag wala ka nang pakinabang ang ending mo'y sa bangin

Ngunit hindi nila kayang baliin ang iyong loob
Ang pag-ibig na hawak mo'y hindi malulubog

Lumiyab ka...

Tuwing hating gabi maririnig mo ang huni
Ng mga kaluluwang naliligaw
Lahat ng pera sa mundo hindi kayang gawing ginto
Ang huwad na tao...

Ang mga tinig palakas ng palakas
Hanggang gumuho ang mga hadlang

Saksi ang langit sa lahat ng naganap
Saksi ang langit sa ikalawang yugto...

Lumiyab ka...

You think you know her
but you don't
You think you'll see her
but you won't


You're just a puppet
she pulls your stings
Its just a racket
so stop your daydreaming


She'll make you feel good
but she'll suck you dry
So as soon as you could
start asking yourself why


And how you've easily believed in pictures
and let yourself be fooled by an impostor
She's playing you for a fool
you're just one of her "tools"


Before its too late,
you better wake up!
She is a fake!
This madness has to stop!

I miss her!

I miss the rush of joy she gives to my heart
I miss being close to her though so far apart
I miss the way she makes me dream of her kiss
I miss writing her poems like this

I miss her messages I check everyday
I still do, although she went away
I can't explain why she means so much to me
No matter how short, I hold on to her memory

I hope in time to hear from her again
I don't want the end, I want to begin
A fresh page to start anew
'Coz baby, I really want to be with you!!!
