when
when the winter sky decided to burn
the tears of my summer sun
i was left with nothing left to abuse
just a soul that needed to run
away from the captivating hole
hidden underneath that potential ecstasy
yet what price did i have to pay
in order to dwell within those walls of hypocrisy
so that i may find a meaning
of something that was already meant
to be my own way of mumbling
a melody that was mine to spend
this higher
this higher
de sire
to know....
this higher
de sire
know love...
i stumbled across the unforgiving sky
trying to find the answers of all things why
i drowned breathing down the sound of silence
humbling myself to question what's beyond my fence
this higher
de sire
so go....
this higher
de sire
let go....
i know forever is not on my list of things to do
glad it only took me till now to know
my memory is not perfect to remember every last detail
my regrets are mine to keep but it doesn't mean i failed
this higher
de sire
go home...
back to love
Assumptions
Your silent assumptions lead you astray
Guiding your thoughts to places with no meaning
Why do you choose to have pain in the night?
When all things that love you, wait with the light?
But time can make you see the truth
But only after you have suffered enough
Blindly hiding in desperate silence
You say it's love, I say it's selfishness
It's selfish when you abandon the ones that love you
It's selfish when you think you have it worst than anyone
It's selfish when you abandon the ones that love you
It's selfish when you think of you and forget about everyone
Hold on, for you need to learn how to breathe
This dream of ours grounded on reality
Flow with it now, it's where and when matters
Selfless living within the hearts of others
It's selfish when you abandon the ones that love you
It's selfish when you think you have it worst than anyone
It's selfish when you abandon the ones that love you
It's selfish when you think of you and forget about everyone
Life is...
Life is a comedy
for those who let go of their mind
Life is a tragedy
for those who are left behind
Like is painfull
for those who have the time
Life is wonderful
for those who use their time
Life is simple
for those who don't understand
Life is grateful
for those who try to understand
Life is a poison
for those not wanting the cure
Life is a desire
for those who have faith in being sure
Children's Sake
what if there's no heaven?
then there must be no hell...
what then will be the purpose of living?
if not to live each day breathing...
how could you think like that!
i want to live knowing death will give me bliss
how can i believe that this is it?
i believe there's something better that awaits...
but then you're delaying your true potential
for you believe you can procrastinate
you always think that the grass is greener
that you hope that after death, things will be better...
please don't take away my reason for living
each day i look around and see suffering
i feel lost and know i can only do so little
believing that heaven awaits, i can sleep better...
but don't you see, you're accepting defeat
your beliefs have already predetermined your fate
you live life as if you can do nothing
to ease the suffering of some of the living...
but what you say makes me sad
i have always believed in my faith
when i wake up, i go on dreaming
that heaven awaits with angels smiling...
what i say, has freed me
from what i've been told as my fate
i live life knowing that i have choices to make
one of those is to make this place heaven,
for our children's sake...
Daymoon
What is the need of a daymoon?
We are already blessed with the radiance
Of a daystar with confidence so bright
What is the need of a daymoon?
When it also can not penetrate the stormy
Rain clouds that wins over the light of day
What is the need of a daymoon?
The sailors only need guidance at night
And even then, they only trust the stars
What is the need of the daymoon?
It only reflects the brilliance
Of the sun and does not echo its warmth
What is the need of the daymoon?
For unlike stars, it is not perfect
It hides a darkside for none to see
Just like you, just like me.

unconditional LOVE
you gave me the reason to exist
and i'll give you at the very least,
another chance for another day
so Please listen to what i have to say...
these past few months had been the best,
so give your teaRs some needed rest;
as i promised, i will give up my life for you,
too bad i only have one, since that's too few
There is nO need to say you're sorry,
My heart has forgiven you already;
you gave me the reason to exist
and i'll give you at the very least
another chance for another day
so please care for what I have to say
and i will wait for you in heaven
where all your regrets will be forgiven
and i will wait with an open heart
for you would do the same for my heart
Although in death, I’ll say goodbye
Once in the sky, we’ll say hello
soon it will be my last breath
but i won't mourn my very own death...
for my heart has decided
"that LOVE multiplies when divided"*
you gave me the reason to exist
and i'll give you at the very least
another chance for another day
so please remember what i have to say
i will remember you...
i will care for you...
i will listen to you...
i will die for you...

April Fools
why can't you understand, how much you mean to me
why can't you take a stand and let me walk away
why can't i be somebody to see the truth
why can't i say goodbye and not waste my youth
on you...
and should i dwell on my lonely tears
should i be a slave to all my fears
should i walk away and carry on
separate and sing this song
for you...
is this love that i'm feeling?
is this right what i'm doing?
is this real what i'm dreaming?
or just a weak mind thinking?
of you...
and now you got to tell me the truth in your heart
and now you got to decide where to start
and now you got to find a way to say
and now you got to choose what’s next for me
and you...
LAST KISS
based on Pearl Jam's song, "Last Kiss"
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The lord took her away from me
She’s gone to heaven, so I’ve got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
She got her orders and she left for the war
She didn't know it would get this far
But she's good and she went ahead
Now I sleep with my lonely bed
I keep on thinking of her everynight
And hope she's fighting for what is right
But I couldn't sleep so I watched the news
I saw her picture and my heart was lost
Donde, o donde, puede estar mi amor?
Su alma y su corazon etan con Dios
Se fue al Cielo, y tengo que ser bueno
Para ver a mi amor al partir de este mundo
I cried out but my pain couldn't make a sound
My knees lost hope and found the ground
I couldn't believe what's right in front of my eyes
I lost my heart this very night
I remembered the day she left and said
Hold me darling, just a little while
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I will miss
Well now she’s gone, I know her death is not right
I lost my love, my life, tonight
[translate to arabic]
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The lord took her away from me.
She’s gone to heaven, so I’ve got to be good.
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

DramaKing
Verse 1
And in my dreams I found a place
And in my thoughts I found new ways
To be brave and to be myself
To find the treasures of my own wealth
Verse 2
In my heart I heard you
In my heart I saw you
Tell me how should I say hello
And let you know that I need you
Chorus
(I’m) doubting like a DramaKing
living like a DramaKing
dreaming like a DramaKing
singing like a DramaKing
Verse 3
And I'll go home with my regrets
And I'll be doing what it takes
To feel sorry for myself
And steal your heart for myself
Chorus
(I’m) doubting like a DramaKing
living like a DramaKing
dreaming like a DramaKing
singing like a DramaKing
Bridge
And this I promise, I will feel
And this I promise, I will steal

And this I will need to be revealed

That I am a DramaKing
That I am a DramaKing
That I am a DramaKing
Will You be my DramaQueen?

In Eden's garden
copyright © 2004 by Cho Phackdy
I watch the sun rise, in your eyes
In Eden's garden, we watch the sun set
You lay beneath a sea of stars as I forget the rest
No other woman, compares to you
No one else can love me like the way that you do
The light from the moon is beaming
Don't wake me if I'm dreaming
Come shoot the breeze
Come follow me
I'll take you to a land of ecstasy
Butterflies fly by
As I hold your stare
I never thought I'd find a love so rare
You're a flower, in a world of thorns
I was cold as, the essence of frost
I couldn't find my lonely heart my love was truly lost
But now that I've, drank from your cup
Love's taking over and my heart won't stay shut
All I need are thoughts of you
Without it and I'll come unglued
Come shoot the breeze
Come follow me
I'll take you to a land of ecstasy
Butterflies fly by
As I hold your stare
I never thought I'd find a love so rare
Missing You
copyright © 2004 by Cho Phackdy
I miss the smell of your skin and your colors within
I miss the way you taste and the smile on your face
You're so far away from here
How can I convey my words
All alone in this cold bed
I'm missing you in my world
When will I see you again
It's only been a day but it seems like ten
I love you even more when you're gone
You're in my mind till the brink of dawn
I would dream of you if I could sleep
The lack of you is making me weak
I must wait for your return and because of this burn
I form my words in a song and pray they aren't wrong
I'm counting down the time
How much longer will it be
The next time you go I'll follow
I'm lost without you and me
When will I see you again
It's only been a day but it seems like ten
I love you even more when you're gone
You're in my mind till the brink of dawn
I would dream of you if I could sleep
The lack of you is making me weak
Your face is right behind my eyes when they're closed
The wind is blowing in your hair
The sun dances on your candy flavored lips
I wish I was there
I wish I was there
I wish you were here.......
When will I see you again
It's only been a day but it seems like ten
I love you even more when you're gone
You're in my mind till the brink of dawn
I would dream of you if I could sleep
The lack of you is making me weak
