VISIONS OF MISSILES
(M. Baluyut, 2009)
I have visions of missiles falling from the sky
It’s a fear that it might happen soon
I have visions of missiles falling from the sky… Hmmm…
There are no consolations
No need for explanations
And you don’t have to change my mind
By the time I see those things fall from the sky
I see airplanes and missiles falling from the sky
The dreams I dream these days
I see airplanes and missiles falling from the sky… Oh no…
There is no chance of escaping
There are no certainties or guarantees
And you don’t have to change my mind
It’s a fear that it might happen any time
There are no consolations
No need for explanations
And you don’t have to change my mind
Are the visions just an echo of the times?

THE GIRL WHO SPOKE IN SONGS
(M. Baluyut, 2010)
Disclaimers came in numbers
And I knew from the start
that it wasn’t meant to last
You passed by through the window
Uninvited but wanted
And you lent me your helping hand
You told me not to worry
There are no strings attached
Entertained me till the sun went up
And then you’ll leave again
And I’ll go on pretending
Just by sticking to the plan
Why you’re so inviting
I didn’t understand
You’re one of a kind
A rare thing to find
Only to know our love wouldn’t grow
You’re the girl who spoke in songs
It wasn’t a mistake
But you insisted it was
It was hard for me to understand
Yet little did we know
That the feelings have shown
But you said that wasn’t part of the plan
As strange as it may seemed
We were good as a team
We crossed borders broke the rules and all
But isn’t it a shame
Situations to blame
Ending things just as soon as it began
It strikes like a lightning
Only to understand
That you’re one of a kind
A rare thing to find
Only to know our love wouldn’t grow
You’re the girl who spoke in songs
Where I am you’ll find me
Where you are there you’ll stand
There’s nothing to know
There’s nothing show
Only to learn
that all things were burned
You’re the girl who spoke in songs
Only to learn
that all things were burned
You’re the girl who spoke in songs

NEARNESS OF YOU
(M. Baluyut, 2008, 2012)
Love is okay, I knew it was true
The fondness and joy of being with you
The moment to seize, I’m begging you please
Put all of my meddling troubles to ease
The nearness of you
It’s nice and so true
With every moment I become
When it’s all said and done
I’m rambling along while singing this song
Oh, but I know, it won’t last for long
Becoming this thing, how long has it been?
Of knowing how long you’ve made me clean
The moment that I was with you
The feelings were so true
And everybody faded away
Oh why you didn’t stay
The moment that I was with you
The feelings were so true
And everybody faded and faded away
Oh, the nearness of you
It’s nice and so true
With every moment I became
And now it’s over

GOODBYE, OK FINE
(M. Baluyut, 2010)
Away you go and I’m on an all time low
And there’s no time to feel
You ran away and my heart has gone astray
And it’s so hard to deal
I threw it all away
I thought we were okay
It’s you, the one who got away and now you’re gone
Goodbye, that’s right, goodbye
I love you so and so far that’s all I know
And it’s a thought that I have to kill
I’m out of place and there is nothing left to say
Forever gone, unreal
Now that we’re done
I can’t see the sun
It’s you, the one who got away and now you’re gone
Goodbye, my love, goodbye
It’s not the same
You know your name
It’s you, you’re the one who got away forever gone
Goodbye, my love, goodbye
Goodbye, my love, goodbye

ME & MR. D
(M. Baluyut, 2009)
There he is watching over me
Just waiting slowly for my soul to flee
I feel the cold sting in his hands
It feels quite weird and I don’t understand
Hello there, tell me why you’re here?
I’m not quite ready and I’m full of fear
I don’t want to see what’s on the other side
I hope you’ll find some time to change your mind
I wish that I could tell them the things that are just happening inside my mind
But he wouldn’t let me he’s pulling me further to the other side
Hello there, oh don’t take me, please
You got my baby crying on her knees
I don’t want to see what’s on the other side
Stepping over feels just like a crime
The blackness of it all, the wonder of what’s next just seem to be sublime
He’s giving me a wink, sending me some signals I don’t want to file
Hello there, oh don’t take me, please
But if it’s time, then make me ready, please
I feel the cold sting in your hands
It feels quite weird and I don’t understand
Oh Death, won’t you take me, please
And if it’s time then get me out of here
Take my hand, you know I won’t fight
I’m turning liquid, and I could see the light

I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU
(M. Baluyut, 2009)
I remember when I didn’t know what to do
It was bright outside but deep inside I’m blue
Then you came around and knocked into my door
It’s a feeling that I’ve never felt before
And then there was you
I fell in love with you
I never felt so new
But I fell in love with you
I’m a fool ‘cos I’ve never noticed it before
I was beaten, battered, shattered to the core
Then you picked me up, and told me what to do
It was in Your eyes I finally found the Truth
And then there was you
I fell in love with you
Now I knew it was through
When I fell in love with you
And then there was you
I fell in love with you
I never felt so new

GO WATCH YOURSELF
(M. Baluyut, 2011)
Don't hurt yourself, boy
Be easy on yourself now
Don't hurt yourself, boy
There's nothing else to do tonight
There's nothing to think about
Nobody to impress
You don't have to try so hard
There's so much that you possess
Don't hurt yourself, boy
Be easy on yourself, man
Yes watch yourself, boy
Go out and see the stars at night
You're wondering what's next for you
In yourself you have relied
No wonder you're feeling blue
The piercing need to survive
Ang mundo'y umiikot
At ang layuni'y patuloy na huminga
Watch yourself, boy
Be careful of the things you say
Go watch yourself, boy
Sometimes you'll have to stop and play
Help is on the way
You'll have to believe somehow
There's nothing you'll have to say
Surrender on your knees and bow
Lift up your hands
Surrender
Pretender
Just close your eyes and you will see

PARADISE UNKNOWN (The Ballad of The Lone Wolf)
(M. Baluyut, 2012)
Out in the wilderness I shall find my heart
And it’s calling me to make a brand new start
If I move out shall I go on and change my name
Don’t you forget me, I forgive you,
but things will never be the same
Keep me in mind
You’re the one who told me that nothing in this world would ever last
I can see your thoughts were moving fast
If you think that I’m in it just for the fortune and fame
Well, think again, you don’t know how it is, child,
and my passions shall always reign
Keep me in mind
I will find out one day
What came into play
Between you and I
But for now
Gotta move along
Gotta ditch this town

A SLOW FALL OUT
(M. Baluyut, 2012)
I’m like a clock a-tickin’
And everyday’s another morning
The grass in the fields I watch ‘em grow
I don’t know what to call myself anymore
Dream a dream for another night
It’s been a while since I’ve lost a fight
Into the deepest depths we go
You and I, we’re on an all time low
And you wonder if you can
Fall in love with another plan
Well, I tell you, it’s alright
But for now, we don’t have to fight, do we?
Outside in the open find your heart
Someday you may tear yourself apart
But tonight we feel another glow
Teardrops falling like a snow
Pick out what is left inside your heart
Maybe we could make a brand new start
However high however low
In the end we will never know
And you wonder if you can
Kill our love for another plan
Well, I tell you, that’s alright
Nothing’s wrong nothing’s right
In your mind and in my soul
What we have has took its toll
But I guess we’re still alright
But for now, we don’t have to fight, do we?
I’m like a clock a-tickin’
And everyday’s another morning
The grass in the fields I watch ‘em grow
I don’t know what to call myself anymore

THE STRANGER
(M. Baluyut, 2012-2013)
I.
There’s a Stranger walking to a nearby town and he’s up on his feet
Searching for the love that he used to have in an existence so bleak
He passes by, them people stare, he’s on his own
Yes, they see him but they don’t mind at all
As he is waiting for The Call
There’s a Stranger climbing on a desolate hill as he fills his empty heart
Lighting up a cigarette he takes it all in, and then he lets it all out
And there’s a longing deep inside him that shall never go away
There’s a stranger walking and he feels like falling
Wishing things, wishing everything would be okay
There’s a Stranger sitting in an open field as he questions everything
“Will I get wiser, as I get older? Will I ever find love again?”
He talks to God, he tests his faith, he’s all alone
And the snake is hissing from afar
The sun is setting and it’s getting dark
There’s a Stranger walking on the side of the road of an open highway
Buses and cars, rivers and trees, nature of every kind
And there’s a fire inside, a burning question
And it’s asking, “What does it take to be man?”
Will it ever make sense again?
There’s a Stranger walking and he feels the wind blowing
And the answer, and the answer is in his hands
II.
There’s a Stranger, fighting demons of the past and ghosts of doom
In the darkness wrestling gods of greed and pain and hurt and gloom
He says goodbye to the mistress and the mystics of the good times
That has kept him from the light
And he wonders what he’ll see as he comes out in the open
There’s a Stranger, killing beasts in the barren wilderness
He’s The Lone Wolf of the badlands and he cannot second guess
As he’s broken, comes an Angel in the night
Not to slay him, but to tell him, “it’s alright”.
And he rises, black and blue, inside he heals while words are spoken

MY HUMMINGBIRD
(M. Baluyut, 2012)
(HUM)
Maybe someday we will understand
All of the reasons why I held your hand
And you’ll know
That I will miss you
One day there’s someone who’ll take my place
I’ll be your Star in the outer space
And I know, yes I know
That you won’t forget me
Try to move on, if you can
Even if you’d want to hold my hand
If I’d just know that I’d hate goodbyes
Deep inside, you’re my peace of mind
(HUM)
You will understand
Maybe I’d come back to hold your hand
But I’ll leave it now to chance
Oh I, you and I, I will miss you
Try to move on, if you can
Even if you’d want to hold my hand
If I’d just know that I’d hate goodbyes
Deep inside, you’re my peace of mind
(HUM)

SO FOR NOW I GUESS WE’LL SEE
(M. Baluyut, 2012)
Always searching for the truth, keep to try to understand
All the mess that’s in my head, always searching for a plan
So I could finally get to you, it’s a place I’d rather be
But still I haven’t got a clue, so for now I guess we’ll see
It’s a novel thing to be, just the way I think of you
You’ll be the one to set me free, you’re so clean, so fresh, so new
And if you’ll only read my mind, the way you move and shake my heart
But there’s no thing as you and me, so for now I guess we’ll see
Oh, I have never understood, the way you make me feel so good
And though we are so far apart, yes deep inside I know you would
And if we’d ever take the chance, to, maybe, try to take a glance
Of the love we used to have, you’re an angel, a ghost, my friend

CONSPIRACY THEORIST
(M. Baluyut, 2011)
Getting the facts alone in my room
Searching things at dim light
Putting the pieces into a zoom
Watch the skies at midnight
Everything’s hidden, I’m not surprised
Blame it on my evidence
Searching things that are from the Unseen
All of it is making sense
And the covers will be blown
No one will be innocent
Yes to believe in the Unknown
It’s the greatest thing that’s ever been
The world is my playground, I make the rules
Coming to an inference
What if the world is not what it seems – from aliens to presidents?
I’m not to blame for what I have learned
Getting all my facts straight
Miracles, terrorists, the End of the World
UFO’s and wars of hate
And in my mind I have learned
I’m not that innocent
Yes to believe in the Unknown
It’s the greatest thing that’s ever been
All the secrets of the world
Hidden at plain sight
Yes to believe in the Unknown
I subscribe to it day and night
Conspiracy theorist

SUMMER DIRGE
(M. Baluyut, 2012)
Tired and restless
I find solace in your violent heart
I see the future fading
Everything that goes must fall apart
You and I will never realize the truth behind
of not knowing what to do in anything
And in time I’ll see you through behind
those curtains where you hide (I will know you)
But don’t you know that
You’re the only reason why I sing and smile?
I wonder if you remind yourself of who am I
I wish there was a way for you to sing along
Read me through my songs
I need you
Days go by and I get tongue-tied to even try
I’m looking at the mirror and I’m getting old
And you’re just there, existing
I wonder if you think of me right now?
And I will sing, anyway
until you find yourself a reason to stay
You are the crying heart on my easy chair
And in the end
I wonder how you’re doing now and where you are
I wish that there was something else for me to hide
But death is coming closer, and it’s, slithering
Please, come home right now
And I’ll sing with you

ROUSER
(M. Baluyut, 2012)
In a distant cloud, I shall come undone
As I come to see the dark secrets of my history
And I slip and slide, in and out my mind
As I tend to feel the relentless force of my sanity
There’s a hole inside, piercing like a knife
Killing all that’s free, setting fire against my liberty
But I’m on my way, I will save the day
Come inside and see, all the things that I could truly be
I will find the Truth, spending all my youth
In ecstasy, finding Meaning in life’s brevity
There’s a cosmic blaze, and I’m not unfazed
Pretty girls run free, and the boys shall kill the enemy
Climb out with a ripping howl
Our voices shall shout out loud

HERE’S A TOAST TO THE HUMAN RACE
(M. Baluyut, 2012)
Here’s a toast to the human race
Here’s a toast to everyone who’s fallen out of grace
Here’s a toast to the human race
Here’s a toast to anyone who doesn’t have a face
Can’t you see?
You and me
We can be whatever we wanna be
Can’t you see?
You and me
Oh
Can’t you see?
You and me
We can be whatever we wanna be
Oh
Here’s a toast to the weak and cold
Here’s a toast to everyone whose brother’s got him sold
Here’s a toast to the weak and cold
Here’s a toast to everyone whose hopes have turned to mold
I paint a picture on the wall
And I can see the raindrops fall
Ditched the circus a long time ago
Yes, I’ve been there, to and fro
Near and far I have said my case
Yes, I’m in love with the human race
Here’s a toast to the human race
Here’s a toast to everyone who’s given up the craze
Here’s a toast to the human race
Here’s a toast to the human race

In the middle of the night
The secrets that I hide
You know my name
And I can’t stay the same
You and I
We will be together
You and I
We will stay together
Death’s knocking at my door
Whispers on the wall
I go insane
When I don’t hear your name
You and I
We will be together
You and I
We will stay together
You and I
Yes, we can never lie to each other
Yes, you understand my pain
And you have my life to claim
Oh, in my life of pain
What is left to gain?
Nothing’s true
Without you
You and I
We will be together
You and I
We will stay together

BOY:
For a boy of such simple tastes
It’s a joy to find a girl with a sophisticated face
And I’m happy that I have you
I love you

Yes, I met you when we’re both young
Laughed together, traveled places, boy, did we have fun
No regrets to find a boy like you
And I love you
BOY & GIRL:
In this crazy twisted world it’s so nice to find someone like you
Nothing’s certain but you make me smile whenever I feel blue

You are there in my darkest days
And you help me through the bad times till I find my place
You’re the only one who can truly understand
GIRL:
I hope to be with you till we grow old
The way you hold my hand every time I feel so cold
Every morning just feels so new
When I’m with you
BOY & GIRL:
Life’s complicated and we’re both not sure of what the world may bring
But we’ll be winging it together, with the Good Lord we can do anything
GIRL: “Anything?”
BOY: “Anything.”
GIRL: “Okay.”
BOY:
Yes, I’ll love you till the day I die
GIRL:
There are no happy endings in this world but we can try

Are massive, huge and loud
My spirit and my soul
In you I am made whole

YOU’RE IN EVERYTHING I SEE
(M. Baluyut, 2012)
I look at the sun, I look at the waves
I look at the stars and the trees
And there’s no time not to believe
You’re in everything I see
I look at the sky, I look at the moon
I see the flowers in full bloom
You’re looking at me, and it’s plain to see
That you’re in everything I see
And I live for you everyday
In my quiet moments I say
That, “I’m so glad that I have you”
In this world you make everything new
I look at the birds, I look at the bees
I see the mountains and I find peace
I cannot deny what I’ve known to believe
You’re in everything I see
