I really like my home. It has everything I need
I wonder how long it would take me
to find my way home again
~~This pain that I feel, it’s temporary.~~ Leaving is permanent,~~‘Til death do us part,~~ my mind echoed
This pain that I feel, it’s temporary. ~~Leaving is permanent~~
A reminder that existence is like a swan singing and ticking time bombs
Is this where life takes me?

Carefully, I picked out the words I wished to say
Then knocked when I couldn’t wait anymore
You are not defined by your mistakes
The duality of it all, will either lift you high or drag you down

And maybe the universe is unfair that way.
The knocking will never stop

You are led back to where you belong

Quickly and soon enough
I have found my fireflies and they have brought me home.
Everyone who saw me greeted me with a happy smile.
For the first time in many years, I felt tranquility
For as long as I do not fail to forget,
this abandoned house will always be my home.

Bakit lahat ng bagay ay may katapusan?
Napapaisip ako kung bakit ko ba ito kailangang maranasan.
Tapos na ang ating kwento,
Tapos na ang ating dula.

Inaalala ang mga bawat sandali.
Tatlong bahay ang nilipatan sa loob ng labintatlong taon.
Maraming alaala ang nailagay sa dating walang lamang kahon
Para sa akin napakahalaga ng lugar na ito
Magkakasama sa lungkot at ligaya, ehemplo ang bawat isa.
Paikot-ikot, para tayong mga gulong
...may tulala, tahimik, umiiyak, nakangiti, nagtatawanan, nagdadalamhati, at galit.

Humakbang palabas ng silid
Ginabayan ng nakabibighani mong ngiti
Habang tumatagal,
Lumalayo ako sa realidad
Natatakot sa paraisong balang-araw makasanayan
At sa gitna ng dilim at lungkot ng gabi, ~~naroon siyang nakaupo~~
Natatakot sa paraisong balang-araw makasanayan
At aking nadatnan ang katahimikan sa siyudad
At sa gitna ng dilim at lungkot ng gabi, naroon siyang nakaupo.
At kapag wala ka nang maramdaman ~~kundi galit, nagsisilbi itong gasolina~~
Katatagpuin natin ang mga bituin

Habambuhay, ating pagkahabi ang pipiliin
Yakap ng bahay ay hindi mapapantayan.
Sa pagbuhos ng mga bagyo’t ulan,
Nanatiling matatag mula sa kinatatayuan.
...dito ako dinala
Ng aking sariling mga paa
“Kahit saan tumungo, ako’y uuwi pa rin.”
