Do You Really Want To Be The One And Only?

Do you really want to be the one and only?
If you are the only
Are you ready to be lonely?
If you are the one
Are you ready to be the centre of attention?

Do you really want to be the one and only?
If you are the only
Will you think only about surviving?
If you are the one
Will you be burdened by destiny?

Do you really want to be the one and only?
When you are the only
Because you are the one who left
When you are the one
Because you are the only hope

Do you really want to be the one and only?
If you are the only

The Lover Sentiment 

I don't care if tears will ruin my make up
I don't care if thousands people are staring
Don't ask me to be brave
I will not be fooled

It is frightening
Thinking that I might lose you
And not even saying goodbye
It is choking my breath
If I won't see or feel you anymore
And I'm the one who should hold it all

So smile and fight
And I'll beat my heart for you
Loud and right
It carries the hope to you

Because I want to believe in you
When anyone has stopped to trust
Because I need you to stay alive

Fundamental Of Liar Chapter CXVIII: I’m Just Talking To Myself

I’m not talking to you
I’m not talking to anyone
I’m just talking to myself

I’m not grumbling
I’m not cursing
I’m just talking to myself

I’m not insane
I’m not in trance
I’m just talking to myself

I’m not mocking
I’m not threatening
I’m just talking to myself

I’m not sharing secret
I’m not hiding something
I’m just talking to myself

Fundamental of Liar Chapter CXV: Common Thing

It’s not a kindness of heart
It’s not strong solidarity
It’s just a common thing

It’s not local wisdom
It’s not old tradition
It’s just a common thing

It’s not call of duty
It’s not sense of right
It’s just a common thing

It’s not formal greeting
It’s not automatic response
It’s just a common thing

It’s not a matter of guessing
It’s not a part of instinct
It’s just a common thing

Before The Rain

Why do we fight?
It should be our day
Why do we shout in anger and lies?
I just want to make you happy
But now you’re gone
Leave me alone

Why do we hurt?
It’s not what we mean
Why do we always stubborn?
I just need you to care
But now clear sky
Has turn to grey

Before the rain
I’ll catch your train
Before the night shows its face
We’ll meet again

Before the rain

Art of Love

It’s joyful, it’s confusing
It saves, it hurts
It’s yearned, it completes
Everybody feels a part of love

An abstract thing, a ridiculous effect
A dangerous factor, the best aspect
A strange power, a simple reason
Everybody tries to describe love

Chemical pheromone or biological instinct
Physical attraction or inner beauty
Motherly affection or human compassion
Everybody tries to analyze love

Whether platonic, whether passionate
Whether forbidden, whether innocent
Whether possessive, whether unconditional
Everybody tries to classify love

Fundamental of Liar Chapter CXII: Well Prepared

It’s not because a paranoia
It’s not because too cautious
It’s just well prepared

It’s not because a behavior
It’s not because a ritual
It’s just well prepared

It’s not because a genius
It’s not because a clairvoyant
It’s just well prepared

It’s not because detailed analysis
It’s not because calculative plan
It’s just well prepared

It’s not because great strategy
It’s not because flexible mind
It’s just well prepared

Fundamental of Liar Chapter CXXV: A Few Good Men

Everybody could do, but only few who act
Everybody could see, but only few who care
Everybody could feel, but only few who accept
Everybody could learn, but only few who passionate
Everybody could get, but only few who protect
Everybody could decide, but only few who responsible
Everybody could say, but only few who mean it
Everybody could know, but only few who use
Everybody could find, but only few who grateful
Everybody could promise, but only few who faithful
Everybody could hear, but only few who understand
Everybody could predict, but only few who right
Everybody could need, but only few who share
Everybody could change, but only few who better
Everybody could forget, but only few who forgive
Everybody could be angry, but only few who control
Everybody could dream, but only few who chase
Everybody could think, but only few who solve
Everybody could play, but only few who enjoy
Everybody could choose, but only few who certain

The Feast

Mari kita memulai kisah
Tentang sang raja dan sang singa
Anak manusia dan penguasa rimba
Dari padang rumput mereka terlahir
Dengan kebanggaan dan harapan
Dengan bahaya dan cobaan
Jauh, jauhkan dahulu kedengkian itu
Kita buka dengan babak penuh kedamaian
Menghisap embun pagi yang sama
Menatap dunia baru dengan mata terbuka
Alangkah manis pemandangan mereka yang tak berdosa
Lalu perjumpaan sederhana di tepi kolam
Di mana surga dan neraka amatlah tipis bedanya
Tempat kau mengangkat taring untuk musuh
Atau mencakar lembut tangan sahabat
Bermain bersama di sela-sela semak
Berguling penuh debu di bawah sinar matahari terik
Sungguhkah mereka akan menjadi raja dan singa
Tubuh yang tumbuh menjadi sempurna
Pikiran yang terjalin menjadi pemahaman

Traffic Jam: The Worst Scenario

It is a hot hot day
You have to go
And you are late
You are feeling sick
And you have stomach ache
You forgot to bring your wallet
Also your phone because you're in hurry
You are the one who drives
And the car needs repairing 
Because the window can not be opened
And the door always needs a little push
The tank is almost on limit
And you again forgot to fill it
There is only one way
It is a narrowing road
With two side of direction 
The road is crowded
And you stuck on it
And you hardly can move 
All people become egoist
