STRANGE FOREIGN BEAUTY

Strange foreign beauty
I'll never know what's in your heart
Does anyone know how it feels to hold you
does anyone know the secret of your mind

Strange foreign beauty
I'll never come to share your world
Does anyone know how it feels to live with you
does anyone know the secret of your life

Strange foreign beauty
You'll never know what I felt for you
Sometimes it feels like a million chances
are slipping away disappearing in the air

You'll never know what I felt for you
you were always on my mind
I'll never know how it feels to hold you
how it feels to be with you

SOMETHING'S WRONG

something’s wrong when i can’t seem to think straight
something’s wrong when my heart beat comes a bit late
oh so wrong, cause you are standing too near
awfully wrong, the truth is all too clear

i have chilled my heart, i have cooled my blood
my love life’s in a deep freeze, a never opening bud
my comfort is in a silence, you must not make a sound
solitude is so hard to keep up whenever you are around

something’s wrong or maybe it’s so right
that i just don’t feel so strong
something’s wrong how can i be grounded
when my minds on the higher ground

oh so wrong… cause i feel but cannot hear
the rhapsody of our song…

i can rule my head, i can’t control my soul
but i won’t stay in this state cause i just can take the cold
my comfort is in silence, you must not make a sound
solitude is so hard to give up whenever you are around, you’re around…

something’s wrong when i can’t seem to think straight
something’s wrong when my heart beat comes a bit late
oh so wrong, cause you are standing too near
something’s wrong… let’s make it right…

BIRU

Tiada pernah aku bahagia
Sebahagia hari ini kasih
Sepertinya ku bermimpi
Dan hampir tak percaya
Hadapi kenyataan ini

Belai manja serta kecup sayang
Kau curahkan penuh kepastian
Hingga mampu menghapuskan luka goresan cinta
Yang sekian lama sudah menyakitkan

Kau terangkan gelap mataku
Kau hilangkan resah hatiku
Kau hidupkan lagi cintaku
Yang tlah beku dan membiru

Kini tetes air mata haru
Menghiasi janji yang terpadu
Tuhan jangan kau pisahkan
Apapun yang terjadi
Kuingin slalu dekat kekasihku

Kuingin slalu dekat kekasihku

SOMETHING INSIDE

When the one thing you’re looking for
Is nowhere to be found
And you back stepping all of your moves
Trying to figure it out
You wanna reach out
You wanna give in
Your head’s wrapped around what’s around the next bend
You wish you could find something warm
'Cause you’re shivering cold

It’s the first thing you see as you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on

'Cause if you hadn't found me
I would have found you
I would have found you

So long you’ve been running in circles
'Round what’s at stake
But now the times come for your feet to stand still in one place
You wanna reach out
You wanna give in
Your head’s wrapped around what’s around the next bend
You wish you could find something warm
'Cause you’re shivering cold
It’s the first thing you see as you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on

'Cause if you hadn't found me
I would have found you
I would have found you

It was your first taste of love
Living upon what you had

It’s the first thing you see when you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on

'Cause if you hadn't found me
I would have found you
I would have found you

IF I FELL

If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand
'cause I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you would love me more than him

If I trust in you, oh please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too, oh please
Don't hurt my pride like him
'cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain

So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that he will cry
When he learns we are two
cause I couldn't stand the pain
and I would be sad if our new love was in vain

so I hope you see that I
would love to love you
and that he will cry when he learns we are two

If I fell in love with you

WHAT IF

What if I give you my smile?
Are you gonna stay for a while?
What if I put you in my dreams tonight?
Are you gonna stay until it's bright?

What if I give you my story?
Are you gonna listen to me?
What if I give you my heart?
Are we never gonna be apart?

What if I do ignore you
Will you just walk away and cry?
What if I did disappoint you?
Are you gonna say goodbye?

What if I try to catch flying snitch?
Are you gonna come with me?
What if I give you my song?
Are we gonna sing along?

Come on baby try harder
Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby be mine
'Cause you're the one I wanted to be

What if you leave me right here?
I'm right here and waiting for you

FAMILY POTRAIT

 
Momma please stop cryin, I can’t stand the sound
Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn’t mean those nasty things you said


You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain’t easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, you’ll see
I don’t want love to destroy me like it has done my family


Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I’ll be better, Mommy I’ll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family? 
I promise I’ll be better, Daddy please don’t leave


Daddy please stop yellin, I can’t stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin, cuz I need you around
My mama she loves you, no matter what she says
its true
I know that she hurts you, but remember I love you, too


I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away
Don’t wanna go back to that place, but don’t have
no choice, no way
It ain’t easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, well I've seen
I don’t want love to destroy me like it did my family


In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
Let’s play pretend, let's act like it comes naturally
I don’t wanna have to split the holidays
I don’t want two addresses
I don’t want a step-brother anyways
And I don’t want my mom to have to change her last name


In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally


Mom will be nicer
I’ll be so much better, I’ll tell my brother
Oh, I won’t spill the milk at dinner


I’ll be so much better, I’ll do everything right
I’ll be your little girl forever
I’ll go to sleep at night

SUNDAY MORNING

Sherly mengeliat di tempat tidur
Matanya terbuka dan memandang langit-langit kamar
Matahari mulai mengintip dibalik korden yang tertutup
Dirasanya sesosok tubuh yang juga mengeliat disampingnya
Ia menoleh...
Dan menemukan Nicholas Terence sedang memandangnya
"Selamat Pagi, Cantik."

Sherly mengumpat dalam hati, " Oh, not again."
Buru-buru Ia bangun dan mengumpulkan pakaiannya yang berserakan dilantai
Namun masih ada satu yang tertinggal
Dicarinya sampai ke kolong tempat tidur

"Cari ini?" tanya Nick sambil menunjukkan bra nya.
Buru-buru diambilnya sambil mengumpat, "Shit."
Dengan langkah panjang, Sherly masuk ke kamar mandi dan membanting pintunya.
Meninggalkan Nick tersenyum-senyum kemenangan.

***

"You Fuck him? Again?" tuduh Julia.
"I know, I know..I'm screwed. It was accident" kilah Sherly.
"Which part of that is accident?"
"everything."

Sherly dan Julia menghabiskan waktu untuk sarapan pagi bersama seperti biasanya.
Dan mereka punya topik menarik untuk dibicarakan. Terutama untuk Julia.
"I'll never met him again. I promise. That guy is absolutely disaster."
Julia tersenyum,"You'll meet him again. Just now."
Sambil melihat Nicholas datang menghampiri meja mereka.
Sherly menoleh dan mendapati Nick yang sedang tersenyum menawan.
"God, I'm gonna kill myself."

"Morning, Girls" sapanya.
"Morning." balas Julia menggoda.
Namun Sherly tak menoleh.
"Kelihatannya, aku gak diundang nih"
Sherly diam.
"Memang tidak. Pergilah, Nick! Demi persahabatan kita" ujar Julia sambil mengangkat gelasnya.
"Ok. You know where to find me if you need me" ucapannya lebih tertuju pada Sherly yang masih memalingkan wajahnya. Kemudian ia melangkah pergi, menghampiri seorang gadis cantik yang sedari tadi meliriknya.

...IZINKANLAH...

Galau
Tersesat dalam dunia
Menolak untuk hidup
Tapi juga tak tahu bagaimana mengakhirinya

Bersedih dengan hati yang pahit
Menanti air mata yang tak kunjung mengalir
Aku disini menunggu
Tapi tak tahu apa yang kutunggu

Izinkanlah....
Untuk kali ini walau pasti bukan yang terakhir
Izinkanlah....
Aku untuk egois sejenak
Tanpa perlu mengerti
Tanpa perlu bertanya
Hanya tahu
Hidupku sakit

Berdiri diujung tombak
Memandang dunia
Bersyukur karena untuk sebagian orang
Dunia indah

TERENCE

Nicholas Terence
Kesombongan adalah nama tengahnya
Keangkuhan adalah daya tariknya
Kenikmatan adalah hidupnya
Kekayaan adalah takdirnya
Kebanggaannya adalah wanita

Semua wanita menginginkannya
Semua wanita merindukannya
Semua wanita mengejar-ngejarnya
Semua wanita memimpikannya

Mereka bilang dia mempesona
Mereka bilang dia mengesankan
Mereka bilang dia pria idaman
Tapi aku bilang dia brengsek

Dia penakluk wanita
Dia penimbun uang
Dia petualang sejati
Dan dia tak kenal Cinta

Hidup hanyalah sebuah kesenangan

Kalau kau sudah memiliki segalanya
Apalagi yang kau perlukan?

PARKINS

Namanya Julia Parkins
Gadis sempurna ciptaan tuhan
Rambut panjang yang hitam
Mata bulat yang besar
Leher yang jenjang
Tungkai yang panjang

Setiap langkahnya membuat mata tak berkedip
Setiap lirikannya membuat jantung berdegup
Setiap senyumnya membuat darah bergejolak
Setiap geraknya mempesona

Semua mahluk Tuhan memujanya
Semua lelaki bertekuk lutut
Dan semua perempuan membencinya

Dia membuat yang buruk menjadi indah
Yang gelap menjadi terang
Yang gay menjadi straight

Dia mahluk Tuhan yang Tak tercela dan tanpa cacat
Dan aku bagaikan upik abu yang mengikutinya
Itulah yang mereka pikir...

Mereka tidak tahu
Julia memujaku
Dia menagis padaku
Aku sandarannya

Aku duduk dia duduk
Aku makan dia makan
Aku menangis dia menangis
Aku pergi dia pergi

Kami adalah sahabat baik
Sepasang kekasih dalam ikatan pertemanan
Semua orang tahu
Kamu tahu
Aku tahu
Kami adalah belahan jiwa.

-Sherly Russel-

SOMEDAY

As days go by
and fade to nights
I still question
why you left
I wonder how
it didn’t work out
but now you’re gone
and memories all I have for now
but no it’s not over
we’ll get older we’ll get over
we’ll live to see the day that I hope for
come back to me
I still believe that
we’ll get it right again
we’ll come back to life again
we won’t say another goodbye again
you’ll live forever with me

Someday, someday
we’ll be together
someday, someday
we’ll be together

I heard someday
might be today
mysteries of destinies they
are somehow
and are someway
for all we know
they come tomorrow
for today
my eyes are open
my arms are raised for your embrace
my hands are here to mend what is broken
to feel again to walk on the face
I believe there is more to life
oh I love you much more than life itself
I believe I can change your mind
revive what is dying inside

And someday, someday
we’ll be together
someday, someday
we’ll be together
someday, someday
we’ll be together
we’ll be together
we’ll be together
someday

AFTERGLOW

Here I am,
Lost in the light of the moon,
That comes through my window.

Bathed in blue,
The walls of my memory divides,
The thorns from the roses.
It's you and the roses.

[CHORUS]
Touch me and I will follow,
In your afterglow.
Heal me from all this sorrow,
As I let you go.
I will find my way
When I see your eyes,
Now I'm living,
In your afterglow.

Here I am,
Lost in the ashes of time,
But who wants tomorrow,
In between,
Longing to hold you again,
I'm caught in your shadow.
I'm losing control.

My mind drifts away,
We only have today.

[CHORUS]
Touch me and I will follow,
In your afterglow.
Heal me from all this sorrow,
As I let you go.
I will find my way,
I will sacrifice,
'Til the blinding day,
When I see your eyes.

Now I'm living,
In your afterglow [in your afterglow].
When the veils are gone,
As I let you go,
As I let you go.

[CHORUS]
Touch me and I will follow,
In your afterglow.
Heal me from all this sorrow,
As I let you go.
I will find my way
I will sacrifice,
Now I'm living,
In your afterglow.

Bathed in blue,
The walls of my memory divides,
The thorns from the roses.
It's you who is closest.
