This Made Me Cry

"I know that you and Janine do stupid shit that I would never do. But I don't say anything. Mom, grandma, grandpa... they ask me to watch you two or what's wrong with you two but I tell them don't worry. I know you guys do things that I think are mistake, but I won't tell you guys anymore what to do. I trust you both, and you can trust me. Live your lives and be happy. Make mistakes and fall in love. Just remember though that no matter how much you wish differently, life is more than just for you. You have your whole family's dreams and wishes on your shoulders but they're also beneath you holding you up. behind you moving forward. Have pride. Make yourself proud, and everyone you've ever loved will follow suit. You and Janine should know that even though I never wanted to be a kuya, it doesn't mean I don't want to be your big brother."

- Charles Joseph Alonzo Palafox

I'll always love my big brother.

Lame

This song has no title and is currently called "Lame." I recorded this ridiculously rough demo so I could get this down before I forgot it.



you know a girl
who's been burned too much
she can't even touch
to feel her own skin

and after you've tried it all
thought you broke down the walls
but you still can't get in

so maybe it's time
to throw away discretion
it's definitely time
to head in a new direction
and so you say

just remember to fall in love
cause in the end
that's all there is
that's all there is

"When The Moon Sets"

Melody written, but lyrics are in progress. It used to have a melodica riff in it but it didn't gel with the vibe of the song. Sounded cool though.

Oh and recording tambourine effing hurts if you have no rhythm and keep messing up. So it may be a little off time, but my arms hurt too much for me to care anymore.

"Oceans"

I am recording stuff. Because I can. This is the intro to a song that I'm doing now. With tentative lyrics, title, and arrangement.



drag the air straight to your chest
hold it there and let it rest

cause like and love come and go
in waves too fast and waves too slow

the images washing over you
of sunkissed skin and windswept hair
coming hand in hand till they disappear
and sink into the setting sun

you're running just to catch your breath
and every stride is another step
back

so put your hands to your ears
anytime you want to hear
the sound of oceans nowhere near
