Chosen space

Choosing between living in the bright lights or the dim country lights--

I honestly don’t get this life I’m living in the city. The kind of calm aura this place sends off. No... I only get it here. In this four-storey home my grandparents live in...

I can’t deny that three whole days in this place can get boring, but the truth is, there’s so much to do. So much space to move around... so many people to talk to, be with, and get to know. It’s nothing like the city where everyone knows everyone, where everyone has to care about everyone, where people live to gossip just be in the damn spotlight...

In this place... this town, you can be whomever you want to be and no one would care less.

That is, if they aren’t city folk

Don’t get me wrong. I love where I live. I do love the city. I love the fact that the mall is actually my backyard. But the truth is, I could actually live far from a place where constant noise is the root and soul of its purpose.

And so tomorrow I go back, back to the bright, bright lights..

Back to reality, back to where I belong.

"because I want you
but I don't wanna hurt you..."

What comes around goes back around

Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand
So why your love went away
I just can't seem to understand
Thought it was me and you babe
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find...

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe
And now, it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Can you tell me is this fair?

Is this the way things are going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around (should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
That you were going to make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that
What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that

Don't want to think about it (no)
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it (yeah)
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

[Comes Around interlude:]

Let me paint this picture for you, baby

You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get's a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he's doing to you
What you did to me
Ain't that the way it goes

You cheated girl
My heart bleeds girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved

And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right

But girl I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy
You'll see

Can't Sleep

I'm tired of sleeping.
I don't want to sleep and yet there's nothing to do at this time of night--

I should have gone out with them...
With her...
Could have watched a movie or something.

I know they are.

But I need the "rest" because I'm tired of sleeping-- do I make sense?

The whole of next week's exam week...
One week of studying, One week.
JUST A WEEK and I'm through for another good 2 months.

Summer in 1 week...
Freedom in 26 days...

Why do I sound so damn tired?

I don't wanna sleep tonight--
Stay awake with me?

Why

can someone actually save me?
could you?

should i give you a chance to change me?

should i give myself a chance to change?


you confuse me too--


fight for me and we'll see...

we'll see--

i don't know.

i just might be open for change

Last one... I promise

this'll be the last time i'm ever gonna write about you.
hold on to this.
cos this will hurt a bit.

you ready?



...


























you get it?

Pulling The Trigger

you're pretty
and you're ugly
you're pretty and you're ugly
in my eyes your beauty radiates
you hardly notice
you hardly believe
you hardly see.
i give you a teaspoon of hope
you never fail to push it away...

why is it?

is it because you want nothing of me...?

but these things were never in the picture to begin with
what happened?
where are you?
...who are you?

i looked at you...
you were to me a blank sheet of paper
you looked at me...
and i had a billion scribbles and notes all over

that's reality... i know.

know for a fact that it ain't over.
you and i... no.

you're a genius
go figure...

but for a first, i'll give the you answer...
after all, you never fail to share your calculations :)

...i ain't letting go.

keep your boat anchored.
i'll be back soon.

Burning down my music

maybe silence is the answer--
