Oh, Ms. Blue. Oh, Ms. Blue. You're lying. Pretending. You're lying. Pretending. I hope you're freezing cold since desperation is your god. And from the very start we both know that we won't be fine. Oh, we're not. (I can read you like a book.) More than not! (I can read you like a book.)

Never Steady 11:08
We'll never steady... never ever going steady. [I] Take it. Make it. Shake it. Break it. Flirt it. Kiss it. Never lose it. Drop it. Pump it. Throw it. Light it. Shine it. Shrug it. Never stop it. Hug it. Laugh it. Run it. Wink it. Smile it. Taste it. Never say it. Play it. Stop it. Lose it. Win it. Wind it. Press it. Go and bite it. And since you want to... you want to go down down. And since I'm up here... don't wanna go down down. You gonna start a fight... you'll fight no longer stay the night. You'll go destroy the night and grit your teeth out of my door. Out of my... out of my... out of my door. Get you out... out of my... out of my door. Get you out of my door... door. [II] Ride it. Hate it. Step it. Crash it. Spit it. Slash it. Go and beat it. Eat it. Crack it. Kick it. Stomp it. Call it. Suck it. Never make it. Lick it. Twist it. Change it. Grip it. Burn it. Stab it. Go and sing it. Light it. Scream it. Drink it. Sell it. Tell it. Call it chicken nugget. Well since you're up here... you wanna go down down. So I'm gonna go down... you said we're gonna get down. And now I'm so down I'll slap you down unto the ground. You sure you want to... you want to go down down? [Pre Chorus] 'Planted my soul; 'sold your soul. (You never broke my fall and never cared at all.) 'Spin your head; 'stiffened my neck. (I wanna go back. 'Say "wanna go back".) Leave this this place. 'Leaving this place. (Don't wanna be a nurse who'll put you in a hearse.) Across this city, 'find some pity. (My lips would never touch you. My hands would never touch you.) I lift my eyes. 'Lift my voice. ('Say "never dance in places with saturated curses".) Ground this place to disgrace! (They've all been high enough. Just going up and up.) Kill the music. Kill the lights! (Turn up real affection, not some infatuation.) Are you ready? Are we steady? (You went back to and fro then hang out my bro.) (One, two, three, four!) [Chorus] Let me show you baby to my inside, my drama's b-side: "I'm Leaving Tonight", and "I'll Never Be The One By Your Side" "You'll Never Change The Tide", "'Not Gonna Suicide".

Maria Luna 05:34
[I] "Lullaby and good night. Close your eyes and sleep tight." I'd love to hear from mom. Don't wanna hear from you 'cause I'm not your baby. And since I'm old and getting cold in this place... in this place of slumber, give me more sugar in my... more sugar in my bitter coffee 'you gave me. [Pre-Chorus] Still, though, I talk away my fears, laugh away the butterflies and cover them with a bunch of lies. Today, I'll let you see my smile as I see you from a mile. 'Run to you just to run away and say... [Chorus] "Maria Luna. I'm star- gazing, staring, never reaching and so assuming that Maria Luna, I swear, she smiles so mild though how sad she thinks that I'm still a kid." [II] Awkwardness is our business. Capitalizing on our weaknesses. But don't say you're a few years older and then start acting my mommy. What are we? Definitions of maturity, then, equates to closed Venetian blinds.
4.
[I] Sit back and wear now your pretensions. Pretensions? No. For the last time, I'm taking of your clothes... of deceit. You're climbing at the pole. You're climbing at the rusting pole. (And you don't turn me on.) When the alcohol is pouring down on you. Just find me at the door. 'Don't find me at the back door. (You never turned me on.) Baby, close your mouth. 'Contain that smoke from you-know-who. I suppose you thought... you though I'd fall for you. Well yes, my dear. I did. Yes I did. Yes I d... in your dreams. In your dreams. [Chorus] Well, this is fun and games. Well, I hope you're laughing now. Well, this is far from truth. Never thought I'd lie so much. You are a liar. Liar. [II] You thought... you thought I had intentions. Intentions? No. For the last time, I'm never here for you -- just the view. You tell it to your friends. You tell a fiction to your friends. (A fairy tale! A fairy tale!) Honey, honey, don't you know the joke's on you? (A loosely-knitted fairy tale!) If I'm so immature and you think I'm an idiot, (A badly written fiction!) well, I'm the idiot -- the kid you never knew. (A fiction of affection.) I suppose you thought I'm that guy who makes "the move". Well, yes I do, I do. Yes, I do. Yes, but not on you. Not on you. But not on you. [Coda] What's the order of our meeting for today? Excuse me, gentlemen, I have something to say. These ear-plugs are the very best in the market, blocking all the nonsense and bull.. (Don't even say it!)
5.
[I] Pacing. Chasing. Moving. Crawling. This imagination. This is our destruction. Lying. Playing. Workin'. Fakin'. This is no relation. 'Left you at the station. [Pre-Chorus] Got out! Fell in! (I'm not a fool!) Pitch-in! Bail-out! [Chrous] And I'm so cold I won't even try to melt your heart. And you won't end it. And I won't stop it. This is so old I won't even... 'wouldn't touch it now. But you won't stop it now. But I could stop it now. [II] Ending. Breaking. Staring. Feeling. We're together. Your forever. Dodging. Saying. Pryin'. Makin'. a big deal out of this and you I'll never miss.

Madale 05:32
[I] "I miss her so much" ang sabi mo. "Di ako mabubuhay kung wala ang baby ko." Pare, ang korni mo. Pare, ang cheesy mo. Halang may kinatatakutan ka. [Pre Chorus] Close friends na naman kayo. Meron ka naman daw chance. Kaya bakit ka ba... kaya bakit ka ba... [Chorus I] Nagmamadali? Nagmamadali, eh. Nagmamadali? Nagmamadali, eh. Pag 'di ka tumigil baka ma-friendzone ka pa niya bigla! [II] Sandalan ba ang hanap mo? Eh, di dun ka sa sala niyo. Patawa ba ang kelangan mo? Eh, di dun ka sa comedy bar ni Allan K. [Bridge] Ang sabi'y pag-ibig, marunong maghintay. Kung 'di siya agree do'n, eh di "Sorry. Goodbye!" Ang pagkakaibigan, kung ito'y tunay, basing on what I have heard, pang-habambuhay. Kung ganun ka na lang kadaling iwanan. (Kalokohan.) Ang gusto ay kilig at halikang lang-humpay. Pare, gumising ka na and leave without saying "Goodbye." (Katangahan.) But she is "it," and from the looks of it... she's waving "Hi!" (Haay...) Pati na rin "Goodbye." (Aww...) Tapos biglang sigh! (Whoo!) [Chorus II] Baka madale 'pag masyadong lande, eh. Baka madale 'pag masyadong lande, eh. Pag 'di ka tumigil baka ma-friendzone ka pa niya bigla!
