You Will be Okay

I just wake up in Saturday morning

And realize that someday you will be in sickness

So I come up with this magic

Recording the hidden heartbeats

Capturing the blink of an eye

Freezing the dripping tears

Wrapping the high point of joy

Then turning it all into the pills

That could heal you in one two three

You Don't Have to Worry

Though it is hard to pass by
Though it is hard to understand why
Puzzle of your existence in the middle of nowhere
Is craving to be found
Then I try, I try, I try, I try

Siluet

I
Aku tidak lagi tahu mengenai bingkai-bingkai itu
Pun tidak mengerti bagaimana keadaan pemiliknya
Tapi aku tahu sosok dalam bingkai tengah kebingungan
Untuk kurun waktu yang lama, semua terasa masih sama baginya

II
Sebenarnya kabar mampir sepotong-sepotong
Tetap saja tak cukup untuk digoreskan
Meski perlahan dilupakan, pun melupakan
Remahannya masih cukup untuk terjaga

Thank You for Being Mommy

I
I meet a really great sea
As the depth could drown
Every single sorrow
And the wave could erase
Every little pain

II
I get paralyzed
Staring her from a far
So I swim into the
Dazzling blue of her eyes
Then realize that beauty
Has a whole new meaning

III
Mom, sea, and poetry
Are good combination
And that is the way
I see mom,
Sea of everything

You Walk Out The Door

Eyes see the line between us
Which heartbeat can’t erase
Feet take backward steps
Which hand can’t hold
“Do you belong to someone else?”
“I wish I don’t”
