Incomparable beings at the back of my head
Don’t try to hurt me, I shall pity you
The sharpest words cut right through you
I see the slit by your heart

Perfect resignation to the world against you
Blindess to reality is your happiness
Your laughter is left unechoed by the spirits you call your own
You hold on to them, no I don’t see them

Across you, I see monsters that stare past you
Poor soul, you are a poor soul
You are left unnoticed, you are non-existent
To the monsters that has passed by, and has passed by…

Honor such grace of the canned laughter
It is where you found hope, or is it hope after all?
What courage you run towards the monsters
What contrast you rest on my shoulders!

I see the fire within you
Blow it to boost it up
Not too much, not too much, it shall die, I have water in my hands
Return to the earth, return to the ground

Never have I found a poor soul like you
You say you are free, you decide for yourself
But you caged yourself, why?
No need to, you can invoke the monsters

Tomorrow you shall hide within me
Don’t try to hurt me, I shall pity you
My sharpest words cut right through you
I see the slit by my heart

Over the grounds, I see the monsters
The wind is with you, come invoke the monsters
I shall say the prayers, you go laugh and play
Or should you say the prayers and they will be your slaves.

Bababa si Marte mula sa itaas
At sa kailalima’y aahon ang Parkas
Buong galit nilang ibubulalas
Yayakigin niring kamay kong marahas

Salamat at may mga salitang nakatanim na sa utak, gawa noong unang panahon,
at maaaring gamitin sa pagsasalaysay ng galit na nararamdaman ko ngayon

people find more questions when they are answered
