but it's all of a sudden
to bitter for sweetness
like mud on your shirt at dinner time
and i'm already full
like shopping malls and traffic
no one's there for the sound
just rounds of routines
we exercise to be fit
see you in a bit
when the upload is finished
up there on a tree
fresh as the smell after the rain
playing the tunes of the city
shining back at the moon
yes, soon

songs of split seconds
a momentum in ashtrays
wrapped inside birthday presents
it presents...
a premier of a tangled cable
sitting pretty on a stable
rocking like rock stages
eruption of the phases
over the mountains
under the guitar strings
let's sing...

the shoe matches the shirt
and words fluttering the flirt
then on to the bar
key chains and little stars
buried 6 feet under the afternoon
then in comes the silly bright moon
for a flick of a little drama
it's thick like a full circle of pizza
when a bite was taken
a slight movement was mistaken
like arrows missing the bull's eye
it's the season when the well has gone dry
suddenly it rains and everybody's dancing
forget about the news because it's enhancing
mixing the mud from dirt
with matching shoes and shirts

what's the value of an ace?
this is space.
full of emptiness
i fly without air
to describe nothing
doodles on a see-through paper
i see through anger
not hate, as it was love
not late, only a little early for the champaign
so here's a beer bottle toast
for a Thursday
'cause the space bar has already been pressed
for the next word
and then a full stop.

the grass grows and parking spots
the wind blows and buzzing bees
rain falls like discounts
and dirt gets muddy like waters
put into brown paper bags
we buy earth
we bought it because
appreciate or applause
so simple like choice
so complex until chosen
the need or the greed
the speed is disposable
mounting like litter and debts
dug up like diamonds
into rings to get divorced
what was it again?
we forget the essence

Ganti karena baterai sudah melemah
Ganti karena selaras tidak sama
Lalu mencari karena tiada
Pergi mencari karena percaya
Lihat kanan kembali ke kiri seperti kipas angin
Berputar kencang sebab ingin
Memusingkan diri bagai kabel
Rumit dan sulit berakhir simpel
Namun bukan terabai
Melainkan terjawab
Lalui badai
Mulai beradab
Bukan disini kuletakan nyaman
Tapi disini kubercocok tanam
Agar tumbuh menjadi udara yang kukenal
Ku hirup kembali dan ku hidup

Berlebihan seperti gosip
Kekurangan seperti berita
Prioritas yang dangkal
Dan selera hanya sebatas merek terkenal
Seperti sepatu lucu di majalah remaja
Gigitan buah apel tanpa meresap kandungan
Mendengar karena masuk playlist radio
Ceklist di sepatu lalu mereka bisa jalan
Dan kehilangan arah seperti gerakan indie saat ini
Hanya direncanakan untuk sesaat
Hanya merah muda, bukan pink

Dull and pale
No weight on the scale
Unbalanced, I fall like autumn
But gravity won't touch me
I hover to space wearing no boots
Like trees with no roots
With a chorus of grass
I look at the see through glass
While pouring many words
But there's no cup to fill
No bull's eye to throw darts
I wait for my bullets to run out
Until I'm empty

like cables, i get into knots
like machines, i overheat
try to sew patches on my trousers
but the road is rough
ripped jeans and wet jackets
but it's not raining season
not even hunting season
and there aren't any bullets
there isn't anything
empty like a hollow log
hide inside it
or should i call it shelter?
i'm not a snail with a shell
not even an oyster with a pearl
but it's all happening
like earthquakes and wonders

A lot has happened
It's been a great year
Time was taken
I lift up my beer
So cheer
As we stand in line
For a better year
...a toast for 2009!

*See ya'll in 2010!

Smoke stinging the eyes
Why is there wind?
Blowing back thoughts
But thinking is sinking
Believe in believing
It only is just comfort
Like pillows on the sofa
Like a beer after work
That simple smile
Nothing behind it
No political agenda
Nothing surrounding it
It's standing on its own
It's wiser than wisdom
Like trees that've grown
Big enough for its own kingdom
Up high like the colorful kite
Feel proud of flying it
But suddenly the string snaps
The kite with its wind

holding back while moving forward
the further away i come and go
walking towards the pillow and the blanket
making a dream and out of a nightmare
the thickness of the baseline
playing with the headline news
drawing straight into traffic lights
making traffic jams and trash cans now full
and empty on the coldest nights
thunder clapping with the beat
clearing the sound
like a dominant species
but the contrast blurs
the transition... in between

it rains but we stay dry
and on a sunny day, we'd dance
mars and venus across the universe
being was the beauty
the eyes feel the sound
we made music by holding hands
ice creams and lolly pops
the sweetness before it melts
getting lost in ourselves
finding forever
but i stopped trying
so it stopped
knowing was too much
a momentum
no pose
a pretty picture it was

shadows hover over my head
i wake up beneath the surface
between coffee and cigarettes
the smoke fogs the vision
blur like censored porn
there's no point hiding
go out and about
around and uncertain
the egg hatches no chicks
just more and more questions
not puzzles, not mazes
but answers without process
like not understanding
against will and versus the deal
trying too much will hurt
but i went and gone green
but the green says stop
...i said red.

berdasarkan dasar hanya fondasi
namun tidak berarti adalah tanpa makna
semprotan kata seperti pistol air
menghujani tetesan warna biru dan pink
menembus putih yang mustahil
dan permainan ular tangga yang berbisa
tekan tombol ungu
tekon tombol start
kita menuju
kita adalah dart
maka terbang seperti sayap dan mesin
bukan untuk tempur melainkan bersin
dan lompat di bawah angkasa
memakai helm setengah muka
menjaga tidak menjadi aman
kecuali sarung tangan mencengkram
dalam seperti simpel
menjadi rumit karena kehadiran
campur membuat berbagai macam
dan hancur seperti penyesalan
dominasi bangkit, dominasi langit

success like succeeded
access like passwords
the dream comes awake
like rivers into the sea
open like morning
sunrise being yellow
and warm like hugs
a bite of a red apple
yet unexplored like new releases
feel glad of the excitement
feet standing steady
feet on the ground
it's the moment
a flag on a hill

baru
tidak biasa
perlahan masuki air dan berbaur
bukan bunglon, hanya pohon
hijau namun tak maju
hanya keinginan seperti mau
dan akan seperti datang
menjadi kembali untuk bahasa
dan rangkaian kata seperti bunga
dalam perangkat lunak yang keras
keluarkan suara seperti pemilu
masuki telinga melalui speaker
dan tiada lagi cerita tersampai
hanya foto, bukan tulisan tangan
hanya diam, bukan angin
diiringi asap karena panas
dan baju seperti poster
bicara lewat tembok
lewat jalan yang melayang pusing
menuju warna yang belum ditemukan

cold coffee
still bitter, still sweet
still silence
under the blanket of the street
pushed away by blinking eyes
with full stories and lies
merging burning images
into a pile of old files
getting stored away
off to the deep galaxy
darker than grey
further than enemy
and when the beat starts to play
the singer will sing
with the light watching down
and birds spreading its wings
to travel and explore
to love and adore
the colors of foot steps
walking and wanting more
like electronics and fashion
like the smell of the sea
like unread messages
the untold glory

rock a beer baby,
on the tree top.
if the tree flops,
it means the beer rocks!

understanding random movements
of high heels on foot paths
making faster pace and silent runs
without shoe laces tying up the feet
it's loose like having to choose
and search like google
without no keyword i shut down
lights are screaming like cut down trees
before reaching the final countdown
it hits like Tyson in round two
i see in doubles
foggy glasses
