Topak

Again,the solitary way home,o night! 
Twice paying the fare,the driver denied.. 
No steel wall in sight, 
Is there any other way to ride 
But to turn around and trace the track? 
The heart knows it all, 
The heart knows he cannot come back, 
Always a last trip for a soul.. 
Then,perhaps,pose a smile,go on 
Everything is a killing game 
Is there such thing as reason, 
When all will fall and end the same? 

I'm asking you now,.now.. 
You can always find me in midnights, 
Languishing,lingering,asking how 
Could such has all the rights. 

It's me,it's me,it's me! 
In my own eternity.. 

*Topak is a Filipino slang word which means tantrum, loose screw, crazy.
