Taken over

As they are moving closer
his eyes are welling
he cries without them touching
they have power over him.

He buries his head in the sand
while his body shivers from the rain.
He then tries to reach for the clouds
despite the wings he never had.

He did not go far
he was tied down to the ground
he was still and not rebelling
they have power over him.

I feel useless and helpless
just watching you from the side
curling and groaning.
Give me some of your pain
so that I could share your tears
and reduce your loneliness.
Please, don’t call my name
I’ll break by the very sound
and all I could reply is silence.

Stranger

Hello there stranger
You're something new
You're fresh
So mysterious

Hello there stranger
A cup of coffee would be nice
Some sugar some bread
Some fair share of silence

Hello there stranger
Why are you still a stranger?
Why do I feel like I've known you forever?
Why is this moment seems so special?

Hello there stranger
Good bye
As simple as that
Sure meeting you have changed my life.

Penat

Penat ada banyak jenis ya?
Macam mana ya?
Penat menunggu?
Penat menjaga amanah?
Penat membeli-belah?
Penat membebel?
Penat mengambil berat?
Penat berusaha?

Penat ni ada dua aspek ya?
Mental dan fizikal?

Kalau orang cakap dia penat,
bunyi macam dia mengeluh ya?
bunyi macam dia mengadu ya?
bunyi macam dia mengada-ada.

Tapi kalau dia dah memang penat sangat macam mana?
Sampai tak tahan dia nak menjerit dan menangis.
Tak bersyukur ke dia?
Tapi dia hanya manusia
Jadi macam mana?

Ada apa dengan dia?

Bukan ada apa dengan cinta
tapi ada apa dengan dia--
yang mungkin kita cinta

Orangnya biasa
rupa pun tak seberapa
pendapatan hanya duit belanja dari ibu bapa
jadi apa yang istimewa?

Tak usah dibanding-bandingkan

Jika dibandingkan pangkat
kita semuanya sama disisi-Nya
jadi apa yang istimewa?

Jika dibandingkan rupa
jika marah dan terluka
apa bezanya?

Jika dibandingkan pendapatan
semuanya boleh hilang sekelip mata
apa saja yang tinggal?

Tetapi

Jika dibandingkan rasa
semuanya ada
cuma
bagaimana?
