I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Emotionally Sick
I woke up about 2 hours ago. This clock ticks another 60 times, pointing the longer needle to 7, it's 12.35am. I'm feeling slighty emotional tonight, perhaps I slept a lil too much and felt so awake that some of the things I've heard and read strikes my mind. I read a blog given by a friend few days back. She shared her part of her life in it and I thought it was really sweet. However this sentence in one of her posts keeps repeating in my head now, "I don't want this to be a December fling". And a question pops up, is this just gonna be another few months fling?

Stay
What should I do?
What should I say?
All that I know
Is that I want you here
The ocean's won't flow
When you're not around
The silence wont fade
Until I hear your voice
For all the moments I needed you
For all the pain you put me through
For all those reasons you were apart of me
I wish you could find
A reason to stay
I wish you could feel
I wish you could see God,
I wish you would stay for one more day
The bridges will burl
The angels wont sing
But the broken will see
What's it's like to feel
Where are you now?
I just want to believe
I don't know where to go
Oooohh
I'm standing on the edge
I don't where to run
A reason to stay
I wish you could find
A reason to stay
I wish you could find
A reason to stay
I wish you could find
A reason to stay
I wish you could find
A reason to stay
For all the moments I needed you
For all the pain you put me through
For all those reasons you were apart of me
I wish you could find
A reason to stay
What should I say?
All that I know
Is that I want you here
The ocean's won't flow
When you're not around

Until I hear your voice

For all the pain you put me through
For all those reasons you were apart of me
I wish you could find
A reason to stay
I wish you could feel
I wish you could see God,
I wish you would stay for one more day
The bridges will burl
The angels wont sing

What's it's like to feel
Where are you now?

I don't know where to go

Work Work
9am... and the clock ticks, rushing from pc to pc. Such tideous and boring stuff, I yawned all the way doing it. 1.30pm, eating a tasteless hailam kuey teow mee, watching Raymond eating kuey teow goreng that looks more like mee soup, I said him, "If I'm opening a stall beside him the next day, he'll be crying without customers". 6pm, nobody's in the office except us, we made a mess of the place haha.... stealing mandarin oranges from the fridge, eating the staff's sweets, taking packets of snacks from random tables, unlocking drawers to check their private items, blasting our handphones and radio, story telling, throwing food around and thanks for that neck strap, "Mr low level" lol. The snacks I took, holy moly there goes my diet, I'mma pregnant 4 months. Those bunch of crappy friends are really funny, keeping me alive till midnight. 12.30am.... and the clock is still ticking. I'm done, finally. That was how I spent 15 hours of yesterday, working. My mum is like playing misscall with me and the smses yesterday, sorry guys I'm out of battery. I'm gonna sleep back what I lost today, skippin all classes!

Pretty Eyes
As we were driving
You turned your head and looked right at me
You couldn't see the road and it was scarin me
How beautiful you are when you get crazy
I have never felt so weak
Maybe I would disappear without you
Maybe I would fall into the sky
But I'm in heaven, orbiting around you
And your pretty eyes, your pretty eyes
We took the highway
That curves along the ocean on a Friday, ummm
The sun was falling down and you was shining
The rythmn of the waves was keeping time as
you were singing this
Look at all the stars up in the sky
They look alive
I wander whats on the other side
It's full of life
You turned your head and looked right at me
You couldn't see the road and it was scarin me
How beautiful you are when you get crazy
I have never felt so weak
Maybe I would disappear without you
Maybe I would fall into the sky
But I'm in heaven, orbiting around you
And your pretty eyes, your pretty eyes
We took the highway
That curves along the ocean on a Friday, ummm
The sun was falling down and you was shining
The rythmn of the waves was keeping time as
you were singing this
Look at all the stars up in the sky
They look alive
I wander whats on the other side
It's full of life

Someone Somewhere
Someone is waiting
Someone who understands exactly how you feel
Exactly how you feel
Someone is dreaming
Someone is hoping just that this will be the day
That this will be the day
That you take your eyes off the ground
Out of the blue
And see that someone is looking right
Back at you..
Maybe that someone's me
Maybe it's meant to be
Lovers, or strangers
Sometimes bombs fall quietly
Maybe it's chemistry
Maybe it's hard to see that someone is the right one
I hope that someone is me
Nobody's perfect
Nobody's perfect no one really knows the truth
All we've got's a point of view
And there's too many questions
There's too many questions and too many reasons not to try
There's too many reasons not to try
But you should take your eyes off the ground
Out of the blue
And see that someone is looking right
Back at you..
Where ya gonna go from here?
Cause everything you need's out there
And you can have it if you dare
If you dare
There's someone somewhere..
Someone who understands exactly how you feel

Just Another Dream
It always starts after the nite fall,
And will be gone before dawn,
Dreams comes by everynight,
Another empty wishful thinking,
Who is to decide?
What's real? What's unreal?
The lines drawn into one's memory,
Can't be erased in a season,
Should I keep my heart closed,
To keep it free and alive,
We can't always have what we want,
Pick one and stick with it,
A river that never runs dry,
Gives life to many lives,
Troubles are never ending,
Seems like a destiny to many souls,
This never ending ladder,
Where's my final destination?
I can't keep up, I'm only human,
I can't back down, I'm losing it,
When there's no faith between two,
Meaningless words can be thrown,
You listened to me all the time,
It as if we were once to be,
When one day you don't hear me,
Perhaps it is the time,
I need to hear your voice,
Right now, I need some time.
And will be gone before dawn,

Alone
Standing alone in this maze,
Dizziness clouded my mind,
Losing sight of the light,
My vision began to fail me,
Tripped, feeling the painful road,
Barely hear you anymore,
Dizziness clouded my mind,
Losing sight of the light,
My vision began to fail me,
Tripped, feeling the painful road,
Barely hear you anymore,
Weak knees crippled the soul,
Heartfelt dreams fading away,
There's so much I can say,
But worst get in the way,
If you need to say goodbye,
I'll understand, I'll let you fly,
The outland is a strangers place,
Tonight's the night we reached the end,
Away from this monsterous world,
I'll hide back in this room,
I'm running away,
I'm leaving this place,
Tmr you won't see my shadow,
Our fate, can only last so long.

Santa Monica
In Santa Monica, in the wintertime,
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd
In Santa Monica, you get your coffee from
The coolest places on the promenade
Where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere you turn
It's there
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
In Santa Monica, all the people got modern names
Like Jake or Mandy
And modern bodies too
In Santa Monica, on the boulevard,
You'll have to dodge those in-line skaters
Or they'll knock you down
I never felt so lonely,
Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more than this
But on the telephone line
I am anyoneI am anything
I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
On the telephone line, I am any height
I am any age I want to beI could be a caped crusader, or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
Or would you?
The lazy streets so undemanding

Rainbow Smile
Every music notes written,
Plays a different sound in my ear,
Your sweet voice after every sunset,
Sychronising with this melody,
I'll sing as long as it takes,
To lead you a step nearer,
To whatever you have ever dreamt off,
May your sweet wishes be fullfilled,
Every music bar played,
Tells another chapter of our lives,
Your lovely words after every sunrise,
Bringing peace to my soul,
I'll cheer you up as long as you're mellow,
To turn your sadness into smiles,
From anyone who've ever hurt you,
May your happiness starts today,
You send me an angel tonight,
I'll be sleeping under your spell,
Take me to your lil space,
I'll be quiet I promise you,
This music sheet played,
Sings a summer serenade to my ear,
Your beautiful rainbow smile,
I'll be seeing soon someday.
