Once Shined

When we were side by side
We were dancing hands in hands
Just like how they said we sweetened the lapse of time
I wanna remind us
How we have run across each other
Once reaching out alike
'Cause now the past has gone
And we went on our own
And we stopped diving in
When we stopped caring about
Our intimate memories as distant
As once they shined
Between the strands
That twisted our grooves of life
We never never returned to the land
And we’ve been leaving behind
The memories where we are from
The doubts we left on that page
Caught us two whining about
Our joyous occasions as faded
As once they shined
Behind us two
Once we were crowding through the world
That’s been crowded by the feelings we ain’t shared
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Time has drifted it all
Till we’ve been unrelated
Till we’re just far away
Till we stopped crying about
Our closest companion being alien
Who once shined
Along the past
Once with you, I’m without you now
But you’ve been part of who I am out of youth
However it be
And whatever we are yet to find
As long as we keep each other in mind
It’s fine

How Do I Not Feel Afraid
05:12

Flock of swans carrying us up and down
History left behind
Tomorrow arrives in front
When you slur over the pessimistic claims
Wobbly is my confidence
Hope to calm the waves
And stop the winds
Hope we can be out of troubles and we’ll be fine
The time has been hard
And the world has been weird
And today, we gotta pick up tragedies like our past
When you and I were small and frail
We never listened to the history, thought it was not related
Now the prophet’s coming with no understandings
He says: we are out of clues
Flock of swans carrying us up and down
History left behind
Tomorrow arrives in front
When you slur over the pessimistic claims
Wobbly is my confidence
'Cause if the world’s heading out of our fence
How do I not feel afraid?
In the blink of an eye
The surrounding becomes different
As if I’m just left nowhere across this space
Seeing the flow of events flooding all over the place
We’ve questioned and hesitated the ones we believed
Honey-tongued as you were, the big names were calling to relax
While they squandered the time ahead, we are left handicapped
When they reflect the way that we blame them for behaving
Don’t you forget, there’s a guilt we can’t escape
When we are used to taking today as supposed
We belittle our past through which we gotta stand here
Flock of swans carrying us up and down
History left behind
Tomorrow arrives in front
When you slur over the pessimistic claims
Wobbly is my confidence
'Cause if the world’s heading out of our fence
How do I not feel afraid?

Later On
05:00

If we ain’t never parted ways
I should no more recall our wasted first innocence
So I’m here rewinding the same regrets
That are rolling on even you seem to leave ‘em their own
I feel taped with moments I held you tight
'Cause every bit of you I used to know should’ve changed a bit
And still I am clueless to say I’ve figured out
How the choices went taking us down
And later on and later on, my babe
You’d forgive the past 'cause you’ll never patrol
But all along it hurts to get you slipped away
Off my swirl of regrets, oh
With crumbs of memories revolving and falling
I am hearing you saying it’s never a place to heal
While I am overwhelmed by the scenes from the past
I tryna find a clearer ground to think us over as friends
Is time a panacea against thinking of you?
But I shake as hell as I seek to tell
What you’re sick to be told
And later on and later on, my babe
You’d forgive the past 'cause you’ll never patrol
But all along it hurts to get you slipped away
Off my swirl of regrets, oh
'Cause all the dents we are left slow me down
They’re slowing me down till I’d be drowning
While I bite into our past, oh
And later on and later on, my babe
You’d forgive the past 'cause you’ll never patrol
But all along it hurts to get you slipped away
Off my swirl of regrets, oh
I know later on and later on...

Shards of Light

When shards of light
Are caught up in the corner swallowed in dark
Did you see a trembling heart
Shattered into pieces
In front of you?
You are here but seemingly against the way I fell
Things are hiding below the tide within your eyes
I am crawling inside your world as someone left confined
By the fears of random air I wake up to breathe
When shards of time
Walked me through the puzzles hidden in dark
Did you see my counterpart
Bleeding through the brightness
Of stars behind?
I could escape, I could run, but I still love you so
As I am seeking faith from the path where you have come
Should I stop holding on the seasons? I’ve been losing my stand
I would hope you could be back like once before
When shards of light
Are caught up in the corner swallowed in dark
Did you see a trembling heart
Shattered into pieces
In front of you?
When shards of time
Walked me through the puzzles hidden in dark
Did you see my counterpart
Bleeding through the brightness
Of stars behind?
