ILAW

Kanina ay nahuli ang aking sarili
Nakangiti na naman at nagkukubli
Ng tunay na kailanman ay 'di ko maipagsasabi
Na naman na naman

At pagdating sa'king tahanan ay hindi
Ko na naman mahanap aking susi
Saang lupalop ko ba 'to naitabi
Pasintabi na naman na naman

Nalilito nahihilo na sa inyo
Nasa'n na nga ba ang sarili kong pagkatao

Sino ba'ng may tenga sa mga bulong ko
Kahit pa 'ko'y sumigaw ay malabo
Oh tao po pakinggan niyo naman ako
Bakit 'di niyo subukang buksan ang bukas namang pinto
Nang tuluyan nang makita niyo
Tunay na ako 'di nagtatago
Sa likod ng bumubulag na ilaw na 'to

Napapamuni-muni sa kawalan ng huni
'Di mapapirmi aking sarili
Ilaw nga ang dahilan kung ako ngayo'y nasa'n man
Ngunit kailangan kong magpahinga
Patayin ang ilaw pansamantala oh

Bakit gan'to inakalang magbabago
Kabayaran ba nito'y sarili ko'y maglalaho

Sino ba'ng may tenga sa mga bulong ko
Kahit pa 'ko'y sumigaw ay malabo
Oh tao po pakinggan niyo naman ako
Bakit 'di niyo subukang buksan ang bukas namang pinto
Nang tuluyan nang makita niyo
Tunay na ako 'di nagtatago
Sa likod ng bumubulag na ilaw na 'to

Heto na naman ako patungo sa presinto
Mag-iisip ng kung ano-ano
Kailan ba'ng laya ko dito
Heto na naman ako
Pwede bang ipagpaliban muna ng isang linggo
Pwede muna bang hinto (oh)

Papalapit na ako'y papalapit na
Bigat sa yabag ng bawat hakbang nitong paa (oh)
Patungo sa lugar kung sa'n ayaw kong pumunta (oh)
Wala na bang iba wala na ba
Patuloy ang aking paghahanap sa pag-asa
Ngunit walang saysay pa ang pagmamakaawa
Ano pa ba ang kabuluhan nitong aking paghinga ah

Sino
Sino
Sino

Sino ba'ng may tenga sa mga bulong ko
Kahit pa 'ko'y sumigaw ay malabo malabo malabo oh

Sino ba'ng may tenga sa mga bulong ko (woah)
Kahit pa 'ko'y sumigaw ay malabo (malabo)
Oh tao po pakinggan niyo naman ako (tao po pakinggan niyo ako)
Bakit 'di niyo subukang buksan ang bukas namang pinto (woah)
Nang tuluyan nang makita niyo
Tunay na ako 'di nagtatago
Sa likod ng bumubulag na ilaw na 'to

Oh oh oh

[Verse 1: Ken, Josh]
Earlier I caught myself
Smiling and concealing
The truth I can never express
Once again, once again
And when I made it home
I can't seem to find my keys again
Where in the world did I leave them?
This is my excuse once again, once again

[Pre-Chorus: Justin]
I'm confused, I don't understand any of you anymore
Where is it really? My sense of identity?

[Chorus: Pablo, Stell]
Who can lend an ear and listen to my whispers?
When even if I shout, I'm still unheard
Oh, is anyone thеre? Would you please listеn?
Why won't you try opening the door that isn't even closed?
So you can finally see
The real me who's not hiding
Behind this blinding light

[Verse 2: Justin, Stell, Ken, Pablo]
I find myself contemplating in the absence of melody
I'm unable to put myself at ease
This light is truly the reason why I find myself wherever I am
But I need to rest
And turn the lights off just for a bit, oh

[Pre-Chorus: Josh]
Why are things like this? I thought things would change
Is losing myself the price I need to pay?

[Chorus: Stell, Pablo]
Who can lend an ear and listen to my whispers?
When even if I shout, I'm still unheard
Oh, is anyone there? Would you please listen?
Why won't you try opening the door that isn't even closed?
So you can finally see
The real me who's not hiding
Behind this blinding light

[Bridge: Josh, Justin]
Here I am again, on the way to my own prison
Where I'll be thinking of vexing things
Will I ever be free from this place?
Here I am again
Can we hold this off, even for just a week?
Can we just pause for a moment?

[Post-Bridge: Ken, Stell]
I'm drawing closer and closer
My footsteps grow heavier with every step that I take
Towards the place I do not want to be in
Is there no other option? Is there really none?
My search for hope continues
But it seems like I'm only pleading in vain
Why am I even alive, still? (Ahh)

[Interlude: Pablo]
Who? Who? Who?

[Chorus: Pablo]
Who can lend an ear and listen to my whispers?
When even if I shout, I'm still unheard, unheard, unheard
Who can lend an ear and listen to my whispers?
When even if I shout, I'm still unheard
Oh, is anyone there? Would you please listen?
Why won't you try opening the door that isn't even closed?
So you can finally see
The real me who's not hiding
Behind this blinding light
