Playing Act
Put your polished smile
Give your irresponsible reason
I'm good at being a fool
But inside you don't know
How wicked I could be
Make everyone believes your plan
Blame to another people if failed
I'm good at being oblivious
But inside you don't know
How observant I could be
Tell a great tales
Sprinkle it with lies
I'm good at listening
But inside you don't know
How murderous I could be
Spill out your secret
Lower your guard in front of me

I Won't Go Back
Will you come in the promise night
Or have you forgotten me in your mind
The waiting is felt so long
My soul’s flakening
Until the fact spread opened
That you can’t put a lie anymore
And the world seems to disappear
My heart’s darkening
I would not go back
Won’t weave this hope inside my heart
Because I have clearly found
The lone road of my life
Without you
I would not cry again
Even night is unbearable cold
Because I have realized
The end right in my eyes

The Liver Predicament
I could wear pretty dress
I could try to be beautiful
But it is not me I look at window
I could say something smart
I could confidently act
But I will not be able to rest
Will you stop only because
some people say that you can't do that?
I'm fine, I'm well
But nothing could make me dwell
I want to run, I want to scream
I want to reach out my dream
The fun, the way
But nothing enough to stay
I want to break, I want to awake
Because everything felt like a fake

Enough is (not) enough
It seems that war is a fun game to play
It seems that destroyed home and burning road are nice scenery plan
It seems that with killing and be killed we can go to heaven
It seems that anger and shout are cheering emotion
It seems that life is meaningless without power and money
It seems that ego has won this round
It seems that nobody understands how to care the world
It seems that words say promise then just disappear
It seems that dream hardly created because they can not sleep in peace
It seems that time leave us with loud last laugh
Enough is not enough
Now I will make you cry until you can't think with your stubborn head
I will wash and clean your heart from hatred and prejudice
You are a gem soul that too precious to leave before time
Welcome to our great warm family and listen
From dark road or golden cage I'll show you light is everywhere
I will teach you how to smile and say 'thank you'
It doesn't matter about your past but don't run from me

Hidupkah Kau
Hidupkah kau untuk mengeluh
Dari terbitnya matahari hingga terbenam
Tentang kehidupan yang tak memuaskan
Dirimu yang selalu menginginkan kenyamanan
Ataukah terbersit sekali dalam pikiranmu
Untuk sejenak sedikit bersyukur
Tentang kehidupan yang masih kau punya saat ini
Bersama dengan harta yang mungkin kau tak sadari
Karena kau sibuk mengeluh
Dan lupa untuk menghargai dan menjaga hal itu
Hidupkah kau untuk meminta
Dari buaian bayi hingga ke liang kubur
Agar dirimu diutamakan
Dan tak juga belajar bersabar
Ataukah terbersit sekali dalam keinginanmu
Untuk berusaha sendiri
Lepas dari belas kasihan orang lain
Agar dirimu tak perlu lagi mengiba
Untuk memperoleh apa yang kau inginkan

Human
You are not an evil person
But you hurt me a lot unconsciously
You are not someone who could kill with your bare hand
But your words keep breaking my soul
I try to find the light
So I could stand much longer
I try to remember the laugh
So I could hold back the tears
But I'm also just human
I'm not some kind of superhero
Can you feel the darkness that creeping in my heart?
Or are you just too ignorant
For some kind of human
You keep demanding some more
But what can you offer?
Because I'm the one you could use
Should I'm the one who sacrifice my freedom for your own?

Who Am I To Complaint?
Who am I to complaint?
Of the hours waiting
Of the time wasting
Who am I to grudge?
Of lots of working
Of lack of sleeping
Can I scream?
Can I be angry?
When no one understand me
Do I have a right to speak?
Do I have a right to object?
It is my life they talking about
Sometimes it is just too much
Sometimes it is just too tight
When everybody demands more

Fundamental of Liar Chapter CXXXVIII: Anger
Why it makes you angry?
Because you care
Because it disturbs your peaceful life
Because it insults you
Because it is true
Because you are not prepared
Who could make you angry?
It is someone you hold dear in your heart
It is someone you could not bend to your will
It is someone who doesn't understand about you
It is someone who has a power in you
It is everyone in the world
How do you do in your anger?
Do you unleash harsh words without thinking clear?
Do you kick and slam everything near you?
Do you keep it hidden?
Do you manage to push harder?
Do you plan for something malicious to show them who you are?

The Death of Silence
Let's celebrate the day
The death of silence
When even the soundless creature
Leave an echo
When the quiet evening sky
Speaks more volume
Let's celebrate the day
The death of silence
When the darkness of night
Is calmed by the song of stars
When this cruel and frightening world
Is cheered by the joy of life
Let's celebrate the day
The death of silence
When the trees swaying their branches
Whispering the news from afar
When the stone awaken to tell the story
And no more secret remains hidden
