Katipunan
Lyrics and music by Jake Alejo and Rychus Cortina

*verse1:
caught between two bumpers again and
trying my best to comprehend what
end this would lead me to when
you're right next to me, do you
think it's nonsense to just pass time as we
wait for the lights to change signs?
am driving you to insanity?
are you thinking of the worst of me?

*chorus:
well i
dont think we're going anywhere
exactly
stuck in this traffic
jammed between the cars and vans and you
it was then i suddenly knew
it was just me all along

*verse2:
we've
been around for quite some time
nothing's changed, were still in line
jammed between the cars and vans and you
and you
still
roll your window down
and let seep in the air slowly
killing me (killing me)
killing me

*chorus
*verse3: possibly
*bridge: to be completed
*instrumental: to be completed
*chorus
*chorus2: possibly

*outro:
all a--
long goes the road
to the bend
ad it seems like
it'll never end
it'll never end
it'll never end
til we move on

Notes (from rychus cortina):
This song has totally nothing to do with the title, except that it was composed on the way out of Ateneo to the traffic-jammed road.
KATIPUNAN: Pendix's interpretation: Kasama Ako Talaga Iniwan Pa Ulit Ng Aking Nobya hahaha :P

(punk genre)
Lyrics by Jake Alejo
Music -still in the works-

[V1]
(coz) Every day, I wake up
And let you know
That I care and I'm here
But still you let go.

[PC]
Why the hell should I stay
When I could just be fee?
Why am I still here?
You don't even see...

[chorus]
Coz I'll just never be enough
to make you chang your mind
And I'm tired of all the stuff
I do for you.
I never let go
You never give in
It's all an impossible dream

[Interlude]
And now, you go...
And now, you leave...
You don't see...
Why I did...
All these... just for you...
All these... Coz I...

[Repeat V1]
[PC]
[Chorus] (2x)

Off the Edge

Wed, 04 Feb 2004 14:28:33 +0000

Music by Rychus Cortina
Lyrics by Jake Alejo

You wanna be
All that you could be
But all you are is a fool
You never knew
How hard it would be
Once I laid it all out to you
Too difficult
Too impossible
So all I say
Is back away
Before I shove you off the edge

On by yourself, you burn
All by yourself, you sanctify
Your empty soul and lose your gold
All by yourself (/On and on and...)

Go 'round, be free
Escape from me
You wouldn't wanna cross the line
Just go away
No time for you to stay
And disappear in time
In the void
In the nullity
So all I say
Is go away
Before my patience goes off the edge

Take My Hand

Music by Rychus Cortina
Lyrics by Rene Cabral

Within the silent tears of heaven
She stands there, her eyes transfixed
Gaze unaverted, a smile unchanged
Hair swaying with the cold night breeze

Take my hand, into the shadows
Shield under the torrent
Traversing the seas of uncertainty
I'll get you to the other shore

So take my hand, amidst the shadows
I'll shield you from the torrent
Traversing the seas of uncertainty
I'll get you across the shore

Gazing over troubled waters
The shining tear in her eyes
Fear no more and smile once again
For I shall calm the storm

Steps in the sand, the waves are silent
A brief smile and her happiness flows
She turns away to her castle
But why won't she stay?

Just don't walk away

I Want

I Want
Music by Jake Alejo
Lyrics by Jake Alejo

I want to fly across the sky
I want to soar as the eagles up high
I want to touch those cotton puffs of white I see
I want to be as the gods in the heaven high
I want to sail across the ocean and see the world
I want to travel through time and reach the stars
I want to be all that I can be but just not me

I want to find my place and stay
I want to find what I seek and never let go
I want to know what I desire the most
I don't care what you say
All I know is what I know

I want to drive across the open highway
I want to ride across the endless desert plain
I want to be a mountain, tall, sturdy, strong
I want to be as the rivers which never ceases to slacken
I want to be like a toilet and flush all problems away
I want to be a pen and release myself for the world to see

I want to be as the clouds; come, let people see me more
I want to be my guitar and give beauty to all who hear
I want to be as a lightning flash, a thunder roll, the pervailing wind
I want to see it all

Love and Rain (final revised version)

Music by Erik Angeles
Lyrics by Jake Alejo and Rychus Cortina

And so there she was standing right outside my door
While the rain just won't stop pouring down
And I can't explain why I didn't see her there before
When she was always there
But now all I see is her glowing face
Her rosy red lips, and her crystal eyes

My shining diamond in a sea of black
My light
My hope
My guide to my own heart and soul
My mind
My self
And I reach out to her there
(Yeah...)
The girl of my dreams
But why didn't I let her in?

And so there she was standing right outside my door
While the rain just won't stop pouring down
On her face
On her dress
Her flowing hair more dazzling than
Anything I've seen in this world

And so there we were
Til it finally dawned out
The sun gently drying her face
Her dazzling hair
And her eyes sparkled so
The girl of my dreams

My shining diamond in a sea of black
(Yeah...)
The girl of my dreams.
But why didn't I let her in?

Stasis

Tue, 20 Jan 2004 12:29:06 +0000

Lyrics by Rychus Cortina and Jake Alejo
Music by Jake Alejo and Rychus Cortina

Looking over my shoulder
And I see that there's nothing there
(There's nothing there but...)
I keep going on but I don't remember
Why I even tried to find my place
And time and my eyes just open slowly

The world's so full of dust
And darkness all around
(That I can't see...)
Where I'm going, where I'm heading for
And I can't stand living this pain of a hell
Oh well, oh well, oh well
(Oh well, oh well)

As my visions blurs, my portrait slowly burns
(Burns as well)
Having doubts if my reflection is even me
(Who am I?...)
I think I'm a gone, I think I have lost my way
(With no trail to follow)
It sickens me to know that
I can't do a thing
To change
This world
This fucking (/forsaken) world

The world's so full of dark
And darkness all around
(Animosity that I can't see...)
Where I'm going, where I'm heading for this time around again
(Around again...)
And I can't stand living this pain of a hell
(Pain of a hell...)
Oh well, oh well, oh well
(Oh well, oh well)

Just for Tonight

Music by EA
Lyrics by RC

I can't help thinking
What made me fall for you?
What was it with you
That blinded me so?
You took my breath away
The moment you flashed your eyes on me
And I knew we were going
Somewhere, to that place
Where no one else has been

Do you know I'd lie awake at night?
Just keep wondering if you're dreaming of me tonight
Staring at the stars
Looking into somewhere far
Hoping you'll be here by my side
Just for tonight
At least for tonight

And still I'm thinking
What made me fall for you?
What was it with you
That blinded me so?
You took my breath away
The moment you flashed your eyes on me
And we'll be together soon
Somewhere in that place
Where no one else will be
Only you and me
Just for tonight

Gentle as a Breeze

Lyrics by Rychus Cortina

I. And everytime I close my eyes
I see your face etched in the skies
Adorn your contour as you walk by
And take me on a high

PC. You take the loneliness away from me
And bring me safely across a fearful sea

C. It's amazing how you can sweep me
Off my feet
It's amazing how you can sweep me
Away from here

II. I gaze out the window and I see
The stars look down upon me
And staring back I look into your eyes
And see all that's unseen

Chorus*
