we’ll have our own afterparty
stay up til 3, talk to me
this is all i wanna feel
anything remotely real

tell me about your parents
tell me about your fears and
all of your hopes and dreams
baby they’re safe with me

at our afterparty
i can hear you calling
don’t wanna pick up
i don’t really wanna
fall in love

i can hear you calling
i’m not in the mood for falling
but if i do it will be for you

i just can’t leave you
when i go
but when the night comes
i already know
i’ll love you tomorrow
maybe someday
you’ll find your way back to me again
when we’re older and without pain
from how all of this came
to an end

now i know how it feels
to have my heart broken
to pieces, left for me to mend

maybe someday, i’ll love again
maybe one day you’ll call me
and tell me that you’re sorry

maybe one day you’ll find me
and tell me that you love me
i know heartache
i know love
will i ever
be enough
you let me shatter
before you let me go
thought my heart mattered
hope you’re not flattered
thinking that i was just a habit
and you quit me cold
i first fell for your hands on my skin
felt like that was where they should’ve been
then i fell for your eyes
now i don’t want to see
what they look like
when not in love with me
sat there watching helplessly
as you stole a piece of me
one look, i’m weak at the knees
one touch, i’m eager to please
one kiss, my skin is on fire
no one takes me higher
than this f@$!&%# liar

lie to me, baby
friend of a friend,
can’t do this again,
why do i only catch feelings
for people who can’t
do the same for me
i hope this goes differently
why can’t people just talk to each other
why are we always so scared to be lovers
i only hear you on the telephone
or when we’re both a little drunk but a lot alone
you are the only one
i will ever have loved
with my heart intact
that’s the gift i gave to you —
my heart unafraid to be broken.

and all you offered me in return
was the feeling of ice and a shattering burn
the gift i gave just a token.
you came and you left it broken.
do you hold him
like i used to do
do you sing to him
like he always asked me to
i’ve been asking the stars up above
if they know anything about love
and what to do
when someone you love doesn’t love you

begging the moon to make you stay
but baby, if you wanna go anyway —
what can i do
but fall for you?
i have travelled the world finding new ways to think
but there’s an ocean out there waiting for me to sink
what breaks me doesn’t break you
it builds you into me
but there is bravery in loving
when you find it hard to breathe
i’m sorry for the way that i kissed you
i’ve only been cold cause i miss you
thinking bout the times we really could’ve been
but i keep missing you and falling into him
hesitate,
now it’s too late to fall.

but i know —
that loving takes the bravest of them all.
make up your mind,
then i’ll make you mine.
i still know you well enough to know you miss me

and right now, i can tell how badly you would like to kiss me.
when i take my medicine,
i’m not human anymore.
living in this kind of sin
means i am not worth dying for.
even without apologies,
i will make my heart’s remedies
with memories
of you.
what else is there to do?
it’s in you i have learned,
i have silenced the world,
and i’ve loved a new beautiful sound
reevaluate
you might wanna stay away
once you realize what i do

they all come and go
thinking ill give them control
but it’s fine it’s what i’m used to

they all say ‘i can handle you, baby’
but i dont wanna be tolerated
i wanna be loved
i’m more than enough
sinta ko, sinta ko,
ba’t ka ba umalis?
giliw ko, giliw ko,
sana siya’y bumalik —
nais ko siyang hagkan
kahit man lang saglit,
mahal ko, ano ‘tong
iniwanang sakit
if i were someone else,
i’d say you were a fool
for loving me
the way you do.
here’s the thing —
i’m in love with you.
don’t be shy,
know that i am too.
i’ll still be yours in the morning light
maybe if we just try
we’ll be alright
we could be fine
will you be mine?
what right do you have, looking at me like that?
i’m so caught up in you
i don’t know how to act
time is a fever — it passes.
and i’m a believer,
no rose colored glasses.
(how) did we get here? something in the air, in the atmosphere.

(do you) hold me captive? promise i won’t be proactive.

(justify) your behavior so i won’t have to call you out later.

(homicide) is our savior. then you can pass out your favors.
old but i unearthed it
ininom ang lupain
sinilangan sa dilim
di ko man kakayanin
kapag bawal na ang hangin
so much of you is plastic
one day you just might be recycled.
we’re a love team
on your tv screen
fabricate a kiss
ripping at the seams

virtue has no voice
so make a choice —
integrity
or your wildest dreams?
i’ve had seven stellas
guess i’ll go write seven novellas

*aka the perpetual kakiewrites mood
with one drink
i love you more than i love myself —
and i used to think
that was what was wrong
with everybody else
love it when you call me ‘miss kakie’,
all sweet — and a little bit dirty
life will rearrange
keep all fights backstage
smile when people say
that they love us

hair and makeup done
then we have our fun
promise not to run
when they love us
sign on the dotted line
and i’ll make you mine
i promise that i’ll try
make em talk online
all it costs is you and i
all-in-one for a lifetime
make it last in their minds

we’re a love team
on your tv screen
fabricate a kiss
ripping at the seams
is it all a scheme
love teaaaaaaam,
on your tv screen !
i’d get on my knees
but you’re already there
and i arrive at your disposal still,
holding me captive
with my own free will
mutual gain mutual advantage
all for the fame and all of this damage
