Drifted



Turns out I'm still broken
Turns out I'm still sad
Turns out I'm still longing
Defeated deep inside

I'm speechless and full of words at the same time
Never thought I'd feel like surrendering your presence in my life

This is me
Knowing we've drifted way too far to be rescued
But now I don't really know where to go from here

Turns out I'm still hung up
Turns out I'm still crushed
Turns out I'm still feeding
The leech that leaves me empty

I'm dead numb and heartbroken at the same time
Never though I'd face tomorrow with someone else by my side
This is me
Alone on the road to face a new beginning
Come what may, I have no choice but to keep hopes up

The ashes blind me
But I don't really care
The waves caressing
This lonely heart of mine
It will take time to see again
Ive just began clearing the rain

Crossroads


Lover, stay, lover, go
It's always been a tug of war
And when it's time to turn the lights off
We both end up feeling defeated
Can you see where this is headed?
Yes, we did, but we didn't care
One kiss and it's all gone, or so it seemed

Sometimes, knowing that we see the same stars just ain't enough
Sometimes, enduring the pain is better than giving up
But this time, we just have to
Surrender, start to flee
Run so far, relentlessly
End up here, broken but free
Love is lost, but isn't gone

Take the load out my life
Take the bad, the good, and the past
And when it's time to face the crossroads
We both end up feeling so hopeless
Can you feel the pain I'm feeling?
Yes, you do, but there's no more choice
One day, it will make sense

I Feel Brand New

 

I feel so empty handed
Having nowhere to run
I left my all completely
All the traces are gone

What I have is what’s left
What’s left is what I have
In circles, I do run
But that’s just no excuse

‘Cause when it’s time to face the final hurdle
‘Cause when you’re at the bottom of the barrel
I guess there’s nowhere else to go but up
It’s easier to fill an empty cup
I woke up facing the brightest side of the sun
Inside myself, I’m pretty sure I’ve just begun

Equipped to win the battle
Can’t help but be stunned
For realizations have
Fired up my vision’s run

I may have started rough
But believing’s enough
‘Cause today is diff’rnt
I feel oh, so brand new

Now is the time to face the final hurdle
No longer at the bottom of the barrel
Well, I’ve got nowhere else to go but up
It’s easier to fill an empty cup
I woke up facing the brightest side of the sun
Inside myself, I’m pretty sure I’ve just begun

Passion’s bursting
There’s no returning
I know it takes a lot to start from scratch
Just tell yourself, one day the eggs will hatch

I woke up facing the brightest side of the sun
Inside myself, I’m pretty sure I’ve just begun
I’ve just begun

Dive



In my mind, I paint traces of gold
And dark frightening clouds
Weaving concurrently
What I feel's often shut by the wind
Never constant and clear
Dwelling to discreate

No more wasting time
'Cause I'll sing oh whoa whoa oh
All my life
Still is fine
As I'm breathing all in
So I'll sing oh whoa whoa oh
No regrets
I just dive
I'm not here to just win

What I do is keep on living life
Never knowing what's right
Or what's good or what's fine
In the end, I got nothing to lose
Only singing the blues
Celebrating the hues

No more feeling bland
'Cause I'll sing oh whoa whoa oh
All my life
Still is fine
As I'm breathing all in
So I'll sing oh whoa whoa oh
No regrets
I just dive
I'm not here to just win

You can sweep the whole world away
Be divine and call it a day
Pride your feet on a pedestal
Won't even bore to hear your call

The words coming out are but unreal
I'm simply declaring how I feel
'Cause if you throw even one instance
You're just a fool, running bare distance

For A Moment


Hearts break everyday
For finding reasons to stay
Is not always enough
Can't stay in the gray
For in the sand, we both lay
Praying for some relief

Can't play pretend no more
And when I lie alone tonight
I won't let this wrap me in fright

'Cause for a moment, it felt fine
For a moment, it felt right
'Cause for a moment it felt like
We can wash away the pain with rain
'Cause for a moment, it felt lost
A wretched treasure with no cost
Living a lie that a day would come
When I'll be holding you with pride
So in this moment, I'm letting go

Can't find one right way
Uncertainties fill my days
Does this mean it's over?
Tears won't turn away
Can't keep saying it's okay

Fools never see the end

I left the battlefield
'Cause when I lie alone tonight
I want to see a brand new sight

'Cause for a moment, it felt fine
For a moment, it felt right
'Cause for a moment it felt like
We can wash away the pain with rain
'Cause for a moment, it felt lost
A wretched treasure with no cost
Living a lie that a day would come
When I'll be holding you with pride
So in this moment, I'm letting go

I'm letting go of things ahead
You can't keep suffering in my bed
Your eyes deserve to see the sun
Your love will always be the one

Chasing Memories

 
I’ve had so much of you
Breathe in every single part of you
I hold the back of your dreams
Cradle you to sleep all night

I’ve so much love for you
That this heart breaks in two
I can’t stand days without you near
To see your face so close to mine

I just want to hold you near right now
If all I have’s the price to pay then say so
I don’t even have a picture of you to cry on
I don’t even know how to reach you even through dreams

Fall asleep beside me again
The sensation has long been forgotten
And I don’t want that to happen
No, not this way
No, not ever

Let me in not one more time
All I want is all of you
I know it’s too much to do
But it’s the only way
I ever look at you
I don’t want just your thoughts
Make me alive
All days of my life

I’ve lost it all
I feel it so strongly
That I can’t deny

You used to be so close to me
Not one question
It was meant to be
But days of dread outnumber precious ones
I don’t want to do this
But it’s the only thing I feel

We’ve lost so much
Oh please, don’t let this fade
Wake up
I know deep inside that heart
Is something more than spark
Wake up
I know you so well
I believe it won’t ever run out
Wake up
I want to touch the fire again
Nothing is ever too much
‘Cause you have my entirety
So blessed when you and me
Can run abound so free

It’s not every day that you’ll see
Something so beautiful
It’s not every day that I’d feel scar free
But when I do, I know all I want is you

The past is my eternal suicide
I don’t know if it will ever stop haunting me
But it’s the only way I can feel heaven
You’re my angel and giving up is unacceptable
If all that’s left of me would be you
Then so be it, that’s all I want

The 50 Best Songs of 2012

2012 saw a year of mediocrity music-wise. Artists such as Nelly Furtado, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, and No Doubt all set there comeback, but no one really made the impact they wanted to have. 2012 also saw the alternative music rise once more, mainly because of fun. and Gotye, who had two of the most gigantic hits of the year. The electrosynth (care of Ellie Goulding) and retro (care of Bruno Mars) sounds also emerged, making a refreshing wave on the radio. However, dance music continued to dominate. The music industry also celebrated because of another album that was certified Diamond for selling 10 million copies in the US alone: "21" by Adele (Usher's "Confessions" and Linkin Park's "Hybrid Theory" also reached the said milestone this year). Here, I list the 50 best songs of 2012 based upon my personal preferences alone. Feel free to read, ignore, agree, contend, and enjoy!
