Show me where the levee is, let's sit and watch the river As it flows with a consistency I wish we could pursue And though the pain is evident, this journey was a requisite I feel a certain heaviness, I know you feel it too My body weakens when these memories spontaneously Break into my brain. Ironic how the pain Is amplified like a speaker when the times contemplated Were the days that were greatest: now it's all that remains There's something special, something simply unforgettable About this simple gathering, living and intentional I'm sitting with a pen, a thought a statue on it's pedestal Written down the memories to stash it in my envelope So here's a memo and a billion copper pennies Representing every though I had of you (it's not for spending) But I'm spent and I'm ending my attempts of assertiveness And praying to my Father that His Will ain't misinterpreted These mistakes... That's how I'm learning it I hate change... But that's what inertia is I made a table from the pain that overdosed my conscience Broke my fist and then I wrote this bloody poem on it Show me to trail that'll take us to the waterfall Listen to the metaphor: learn from it's example Even though we fall, we should always be transparent Even though we crash, we will always be majestic Watch me discipline my patience like a finger to the parchment The fire in my heart just seemed to flicker in the darkness Traded in my passion for the sake of the tradition Beat my body for the mission but the payment was my vision I know I'm young but I know something wasn't feeling right This sacrifice should never keep me weeping in my sleep at night I'm misaligned like a lady losing focus Holds her baby on her shoulder with a case of scoliosis We're getting close but never close enough to open up I'm getting cold but never close enough to warm me up This one's for everybody hiding in the secrecy For every week of being weak without you seeing it For every inconsistent moment asking if it's worth it I forgive that I could count on your discouragement God forbid perhaps I sicken you with honesty And I forgive that you've withheld your reciprocity You ever felt the pain of weeping with sincerity To find that not a single drop released was taken seriously? Have you ever chose to chase the passion in your heart? Flaming matches in the dark? Making action from a spark? Ignite the fear and vanish, scrape the ashes so the diamond shines Only in the end just to be criticized: I just can't Reach the expectations set by everybody else When I hardly could fulfill the ones I'm setting for myself Let's have another meeting... let's talk about the plan Let's discuss how we'll advance, let's entrust it in His hands I'm sorry for my apathy, I've been depressed lately I haven't been myself I know, I've been so stressed lately I know what real darkness is, road is long and arduous The yoke is hard and pardon for the scarring on my cartilage Locked in war and the casualty is hope and growth I'm battling with emptiness, my family is broke And I just want to talk, but it just seems you're busy praying We're swimming in an ocean and it's hard to stay afloat I'm sickened from the drowning so I floated to the coast And then I walked upon the dock and now I'm waiting for the boat I'm here to help, so here's a pair of empty shoulders Let me take upon the load; ignore the fact my soul is broken It's best to settle if we can't defeat the elements When comfort is an easy price to pay to be irrelevant So what happened? You wonder for my absence My answer is pointing to the fact it's my sadness And sin. I can't even manage my skin To fake being intact; the scars from within I needed help, badly. And pity doesn't do it Nor does singing over music when your actions ain't congruent I'm sorry. I love you, but it sucks that I'm so insecure Even when I showed my heart,bled it out... poured But I never saw yours. I never saw yours I'm all grown up, yet I'm so immature The nuisance it will tailor... I'm stupid with emotions If this Kuya was a failure then this truth is my atonement I never know the right words to say I can't control myself standing face to face I'm a coward so I can't just speak it all... And this is why I love to write these stupid freaking songs And I just want to say I freaking miss my family I cherished every moment we all had of being happy I wish that we could fix the petty grudges that we're holding I wish that we'd forgive each other's faults before it's too late But it wasn't your fault. I promise that I pray for you Your memory embedded in my brain everyday for you I'm here for you. I love you and I swear that's what I'm here to do I'd sacrifice whatever if it makes the Gospel clear to you If God would grant me peace, well then I promise I would stay for you If I were called to fight for this, I promise I would train for you And if the game is life or death so then I promise I would play for you And even though I'm gone I freaking promise I remain for you So show me where the levee is, let's sit and watch the river As it flows a tranquility that softens up the pavement I think the rain is coming... Wash away the heaviness You'll always be a blessing to my life... you will always be Famous We will always be Famous You will always be Famous We will always be Famous
