One Last Time

Wenrick Katigbak

I saw you in a party and it made me cry

You mislead me before, yeah, I can now recall
A film of horror pierced through my heart
Then I told myself, I wanted to go, go far away
One last time, you made me cry


The wounds left scars and now I understand
Feel it, I’m cold and numb inside
No more bleeding, no more bitter thoughts
Just memories of why the scars are there
One last time, you made me understand


Now that the light has cleansed the scars
And the clock is ticking, I now should move on
It’s time to go with some family and old friends
As I bid my party goodbye, I’ll pray for you
One last time, I’ll say goodbye

One last time, in my wake
One last time, you made me cry
One last time, in my wake
One last time, you made me understand
One last time, in my wake
One last time, I’ll say goodbye

One last time...
One last time...
One last time...

SL

Wenrick Katigbak

nagising akong may luha sa pikit kong mga mata
nanikip ang dibdib ko kaya't nahiga na lang muli
parang pag-ibig mo na naglaho parang bula
binabalik ang kahapon ngunit wala pa ring silbi

pagkalipas ng ilang minuto katawan ay lumakas
sinubukan kong bumangon ngunit ako ay natumba
tulad ng isang pagkasawing unti-unting naaagnas
akala ay kayang limutin ngunit hindi rin pala

nagpaalam na rin ako sa aking mga kaibigan
na sa araw na yon kami'y hindi magkakasama
gaya ng disenyo mo na ako'y pilit saktan
andito nga ngunit pipi't bulag ang pag-asta

Sometimes Life Goes Wrong

Wenrick Katigbak
(inspired by Krook - Sometimes Life Goes Wrong)

life, look what i have come to be

wrong decisions that i did not see
and now it's haunting me
wishin' i never had done them intention'ly
hope they'll be forgivin' me
coz my life was so dark
all hell's on their mark
that made me a guy so crack'd
demons misleaded me and that's a fact
every morning, every night
i wished tom'row will all be right
but oh no! i'm still in a crazy world
my life, my love, all are twirled
and these haters made fun of me
and i didn't know why they hatin' me
lucky me? "old friends" were in my back
but they're the ones stabbing me in the back
so i let it out off my chest
t'was a mess and was so depressed
i was like a man so possessed
all i saw was a film of black and red
luckily nobody ended up dead
now, i'm happy i found the light
when i wake up everythin' felt so light
new places, new people, what is this sight?
i found God and everythin' turned up right
He told me never to give up and just go on
no matter how life goes wrong
because...

sometimes life goes wrong
sometimes we can feel it
sometimes life goes wrong
just when you think about it

sometimes life goes wrong
sometimes we can feel it
sometimes life goes wrong
just when you think about it
look and it's all gone

Betrayal Of The Light

Wenrick Katigbak

i see no God in every Faithful's lives

it seems that the church has corrupted our minds
do good and in heaven your place shall be saved
do evil and in hell your soul shall be flamed
you see, i tried to be Christ-like in every way
His words, i always live by and obey
but now, i feel cursed and all alone
that i think i can't continue and carry on
love as you love yourself but i was deceived
been a good Samaritan and i was tricked
it looks like my faith is betrayed by surprise
my good karma is nothing but bad in disguise

Faithful, don't get me wrong

this is nothing but a fool's song
it just feels that our world has gone mad
nothing we can do but believe there's God
because i know, someday, somehow He'll explain
why this Faithful is dying in tremendous pain

Siopao

Wenrick Katigbak

remember the time i said i love you

it was with a bottle of wine
i know i like you from the time i met you
but i never thought it would be love this time

i'm sorry if i were rude that night
there's no excuse on what i've done
these daydreams keep popping in my sight
and there's no way i could hold it back then

now you know i love you from that day on
please love me like a lover would
because it's called destiny where i came from
and guarantee i'd love you like every man should

tell me if i were mistaken
for i know that this love's all wrong
a man like me has no place in heaven
or even in the place of men so strong

still, i'm dying just to love you
and hold you whatever it takes
for i know it would be hard to keep you
but i'd rather risk what this love story makes

now that this bottle's all dry and empty
and i'm sure my feelings all special and true
but it feels awkward and funny
to confess love in a way i did to you

Somewhere In Time

Wenrick Katigbak

(here's my version of Somewhere In Time in tune of John Barry's masterpiece)

Somewhere in time, my love, you and I'll be one
When all these dreams I've said are done
You'll be mine...
But for now, i call out forever
I seek the answers in heavenly body hides
I must confess, I am afraid
In what I am and what's fate has for us
But I believe that my sun will shine again
Somewhere in time.

Sikreto Sa Hardin

Wenrick Katigbak

Sa isang munting hardin, may mga bulaklak na nalalanta
Isang hardinera ang naligaw sa payapang lugar na ito
Sa pagdating ng hardinera binigyan niya sila ng sigla at buhay
Di nagtagal ay natagpuan ang hardinera ng kanyang kaibigan
At sa pagkakasundong ito'y unti unting nakalimutan ang hardin
Kasabay nito ang pagbuhos ng malakas na ulan
Maraming namatay sa pagkakasalanta ng bagyo
Ngunit ang mga natirang halaman ay di pa rin nawawalan ng pag-asa
Naniniwala silang muling magbubukas ang langit at sisikat ang araw
Di nagtagal ay lumitaw na ang bahaghari at kasama nito ang liwanag sa alapaap
Ngunit kahit andyan na ang hinihintay na pagsikat ng araw
Ay tila wala pa ring sigla't buhay ang mga halaman
Dahil patuloy pa rin silang naghihintay sa kanilang tunay na langit
Sa anyo ng lumisang hardinera

Payong Kaibigan

Wenrick Katigbak


Yan ka na naman

Nakatunganga sa isang tabi

Tulala at di makausap

Tila litong-lito tuwing gabi

Parang baliw na nangangarap

Kung kailan ulit magkikita

Makakasama at makakausap

Hindi mo naman masabi

Ang iyong mga ninanais

Puro na lang daplis

Wala namang sumasapol

Tama na ang porma

Tanggalin ang kaba

Suyuin mo na

Kung ano man ang kalabasan

Kaibigan, ayos lang yan

Nakikinig ka pa ba?

Tila nakakasawa na

Paulit-ulit na lang

Ang mga pagkakamali

Hindi ka naman bingi

At lalong hindi pipi

Pero parang walang nagyari

Ng matapos na ang gabi

At di mo parin nasabi

Na sya ay minamahal mo

Malay mo pareho lang kayo

Naghihintay lang ng chempo

Kung di man ito ang mangyari

Huwag mo na lang intindihin

Kung masaktan ka

Ang mahalaga ay nasabi mo

Kaibigan

Ganito Hindi Ganyan

Wenrick Katigbak


Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Iiyak na lang palagi

Puro simulang kay tamis

At wakas na kay pait

Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Huli na lang palagi

Kung kailan mo nadarama

Bigla na lang sya mawawala

Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Aasa na lang palagi

Akala mo nandun ka na

Yun pala ay meron ng iba

Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Sala na lang palagi

Kay tagal mong hinintay

Sa iba din naman pala uuwi

Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Bitin na lang palagi

Parang tele-nobela

Bukas na ulit ang simula

Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Nawawala na lang palagi

Lagi mong hinahanap

Kahit ayaw naman magpakita

Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Salawahan na lang palagi

Mamahalin mo ng tapat

Lolokohin ka sa isang kurap

Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Pangarap na lang palagi

Mananaginip kang sana ay ikaw

Bangungot naman pag-gising

Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Pinagpapalit na lang palagi

Lumingon lang sa iba

Iba na ang kasama

Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Magulo na lang palagi

Pag pwede na ang hindi dapat

Ang dapat ay hindi na pwede

Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Matatag na lang palagi

Pinamukha na nga sayo

Di ka pa nagising

Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Tanga na lang palagi

Lumuha ka na nga ng galon-galon

Ngunit mahal mo pa rin sya

Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Sawi na lang palagi

Parang ako sayo

Di na naging tayo

Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Paulit-ulit na lang palagi

Gumuho na ang mundo mo

Di ka pa natuto

Ganito ba talaga ang pag-ibig

Ganito na lang palagi

Hindi ganyan

Ganito

Sana

Wenrick Katigbak

Sana gwapo din ako
May makinis na kutis
Puti, itim, kahit alin
Ok na sa akin
Para naman
Mapagmalaki mo ako
Kung naging gwapo lamang sana ako
Saan mang lugar
Ano mang layo
Hindi mo ikakahiya
Dahil gwapo na ako

Sana mabait din ako
May bukas na mga palad
Kaliwa, kanan, kahit alin
Ok na sa akin
Para naman
Maasahan mo ako
kung naging mabait lamang sana ako
Ano mang bagay
Ano mang timbang
Akong bahala sa iyo
Hindi mo karurumihan
Dahil mabait na ako

Pero kung sakali
Kahilingan ko'y magkakatotoo
Wag na lang
Binabawi ko ng lahat
Ayoko ng maging gwapo
Ayoko rin maging mabait
Doon kasi nasusukat
Puso mong sablay
Di naman ako ang gusto mo
Kundi katangian kong di tunay
Di ako bulag, di rin bingi
Kaya sana hindi na lang

Bitterness Truth

Wenrick Katigbak

i am vague but certain.
mislead me...
i'll still know what i want.


i am weak but strong
hurt me...
i'll cry not to be discouraged.

i am insignificant but appreciable.
deny me...
i'll know i am important to others.

i am hopeless but optimistic.
bring me down...
i'll fight what i believe in.

i am hateful but passionate.
disgust me...
and i'll devote myself to you more.

Pansinin Mo Naman Ako

Wenrick Katigbak

Bakit hindi mo ako pinapansin?
Akala ko tumingin ka na kaninang umaga
Hindi pala, nagmamadali ka kasi
Nasa isip pa naman kita buong araw
Baka kasi mapahamak ka eh
Tulad kanina, pinagtatawanan ka nila
Kahit ganito ako, maliit lang
Ipagtatanggol kita
Pero umuwi agad ikaw
At hindi mo na naman ako pinansin

Ngayon, nasa bahay ka na
Sana bago ka matulog
Tumingin ka sa salamin
Para naman maisip mo ako
Ano? Hindi mo pa rin ako naaalala?
Ipikit mo ang iyong mga mata
At magisip ng malalim
Ngayon imulat mo na sa katotohanan

O, bakit ka natawa?

Siguro nakita mo na ako
OO, ako ang mga muta mo
Kanina pa nga ako dito eh
Salamat sa Diyos
Napansin din

Uhmmm....Hi?

Wenrick Katigbak

"Because you just don't know
What you're doing to me
You don't even have a clue
To be me staring at you"

The sun is slowly rising
While the moon is starting to fall
Morning comes and a new day await
Here I am again alone in the corner
Anticipating your every smile that brings joy
Hopelessly waiting to be noticed
To greet you with a simple hi
But still here I am
A slave of your smile

My face may not be seen by your eyes
Nor my voice be heard by your ears
But I clearly see every move you make
And hear every word that comes out from your lips
There you are slowly passing me by
While watching you from a distance
Whispering through the air
These feelings and thoughts that I have

The sun is now starting to set
While the moon slowly rising
Darkness fall and a new night awaits
Here I am again alone in my bed
Remembering your smile that brought joy
A long time of wait that never came
To greet you a simple Hi
But still here I am
A slave of your smile

The night is almost over
And here I am lying in my bed
Wondering what may had happen
Only if I approached you to say a simple hi
But that If never came
The fact that it didn't exist at all
Thinking of the wasted chance I had
So stupid of me not to find
The words to say
A simple Hi

My Life In A Quicksand

Wenrick Katigbak

i was minding my own business
when i barely noticed
that i was slowly sinking into you.
at first i was calm,
knowing that i'll be saved soon.
but as time passed by,
i realized that nobody can save me,
even the rays of the sun could do no such thing
thus it only gave me false hopes of everything
i was frustrated and then learned
that the one that can help me is only myself
and no one else.
i tried to escape this trap that i got into
but nothing could give my freedom.
i just kept on hurting myself
everytime i tried to be freed.
i tried all possible options
and all resulted to failure.
now that only one solution is at hand,
and is my last resort,
i hope that someone will pass by
and free me from you,
my quicksand.
