misery took the wind out of me

look at us dancing to the rhythm of uncertainty
how can you put so much confidence on us?
forgiving took form as a necessity
and come patience as its compliment

oh how i live in such poverty
assurance is impossible to be bought
and could you give me a nickle or dime
it takes a lot of pennies for your thought

or let me hang on to something i can't see
and tell me "bear with everything that'll be"
that it'll be alright in the end
no matter how hurt i bend

oh we selfish pricks
playing games of righteous tricks
thin will be our sensitivity
and low will be our charity

not-so-tragic story

Nada mengalun riang..
Hiruk begitu senang
Bahagia sedang disebar
kepada semua insan

Dan lelaki itu pun menari..
di bawah bayangan bulan
beratap malam cerah
tanpa alas kaki

Aku, yang di jendela..
menatapnya sepenuh hati
berharap bisa turun
mengajaknya berdansa

Kurentang tanganku..
kujulurkan kakiku
namun yang kuasa
menarikku ke dalam

Sekarang yang terasa..
kesempatan telah tiada
suara yang didamba
gagal menjadi nyata

Aku, yang di jendela..
berharap bisa
pergi ke lain jendela
