LOCKED IN A ROOM

I am locked in a room

Tired of walking in the past

I can't find a true friend out of this world

Nothing out here can lift my burden off

I can no longer tell the differences in a friend and a foe

I can no longer tell the day there would be peace at home

I don't want to see hearts stained in blood

Can't face an unjust world anymore

Let me die alone in the dark where I belong

I don't want anyone looking out for me

I can't walk a distance without feelings of hate

I can't keep seeing the innocent crying everyday

Mother helpless victim of man's cruelty for love is abandoned

Lock me in a room

I don't want to have no friend anymore

I don't want my heart hurt and bleed any more

I just want to live as an outcast

Wait till God call these day my last

There is so much pollution in the mind

The hearts greedy, it can’t seem to get enough

There is no more evening that bare a smile

Just the wailing of a world running clockwise

Good is forgotten, the cloud bares on it no star

I no longer want to be a victim of an unforeseen world anymore

IT'S NOT JUST A FEELING

It's not just a feeling that I have a crush on you

Last night I let my guard down so I can be with you

It's hard to admit I don’t love you since I met you

I am intoxicated with emotion and feelings for you

Nothing can turn down the joy I have spending time with you

In the morning I feel excited because I had you

As a juvenile feels spending Christmas Eve away from home

The cloud on my head is empty, without you I couldn't find a star

A night without you going to leave in my heart a scar

I will lose the feelings in my heart for I am deeply fond of you

Night and day my feelings I wouldn't change

For I have a soft spot for you; and scared it will forever stay

When it doesn't rain in November, the sun gets out of reach

But it can't stop the star from smiling; she knows you feelings I can’t breach

The grave can't contain a heart as mine destine to forever be with you

TODAY, NOT TOMORROW

Not tomorrow, today I need you in my hands

Today you caught my heart, tomorrow I can't wait that long

Hold my hands and tell me what you found

Do you feel the pulses in my heart meant only for you?

Because without you, I am all alone and lost in the world

Trying to finding happiness that doesn't exist without you

I tried to listen maybe a love song would ease my mind

Like watching the sky uncertain if there will be stars

Wished I am an hero in a movie starring in a fairytale

At the end kiss you, smile and wave farewell as my boat sails
