Vindicated
Vindicated Lyrics
Artist(Band):Dashboard Confessional
Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in
So, mesmerizing, so hypnotizing,
I am captivated, I am
{Chorus}
Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed, but I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me
So isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that I am
{Chorus}
So turn
up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'll be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
{Chorus}
Like hope
dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

Illusion
Time, an irreplaceable gift so graciously bestowed upon the hands of mankind. Yet we humans are so keen on wasting it. It's because we have too much of it that we fail to see just how important it is. Who ever says that he has all the time in the world is a fool. Time will never be enough.
We humans waste so much time on superficial things like vanity and wealth. We try so much to make our lives perfect by achieving success when clearly, our view of what perfection really is is completely blurry. We think that once we're rich or famous, we'll be happy. That's why we idolize celebrities and billionaires so much. We imitate them and aspire to be just like them. So we waste time fighting each other just to see who attains a status that's higher than everyone else's. And once a certain status is reached, we spend a lot more time showing off everything we have, making others feel bad about themselves, or jealous of what we have. No wonder we make more enemies. Then, the paranoia sinks in. We start thinking that everyone's out to get us. We begin building fences to keep everyone away, attempting to protect everything that we've worked so hard for. While we do so, we do not realize that we've spent all our resources on the barricades we've built that we have nothing left to protect. We go back to where we started, the cycle begins again. Benjamin Franklin once said "Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that the stuff life is made of." With all the time we've wasted, we've also wasted so much of our lives. Let's all think back to how much time we've spent arguing instead of making peace, or destroying a life when we could've helped rebuild someone else's. Let's think about it, and we'll realize that we should also start thinking about what we're gonna do with the little time we all have left.
However,with all these in our heads, it's also wrong to think that we're all out of time. If people who think they have all the time in the world are fools, people who believe they don't have time at all are just lazy. We've always had the power to control time, not the other way around. Truth be told, we can make time for anything. We just have to have the initiative to do so. We just have to think.
Time is an illusion. By the time we've finished blinking, it would've already come and gone. We don't have too much of it, nor do we lack any. We have just enough, so make it count.

Sana..
Sana..
sa tuwing tumitingin ka sa mga bituin,
at namamangha ka sa dami nila,
maalala mong heto akong nag-iisa,
nangangarap na sana'y bituin din ako
nang sa gayun ay pagmasdan mo rin ako
kahit paminsan-minsan lang.
Sana..
sa bawat hakbang ng mga paa mo,
maisip mo kung gaano kasakit,
na nakikita kitang naglalakad
na papalayo ng papalayo sa akin.
umaasa na sana'y ang patutunguhan mo
ay kung saan naroon ako.
Sana..
sa tuwing natutulog ka ng mahimbing,
lahat ng mga panaginip mo'y
naghahatid sa'yo ng saya
na alam kong di ko mapapantayan.
dahil alam ko rin na kailan ma'y
di ako magiging laman ng mga panaginip mo.
Sana..
balang araw mabuksan ang mga mata mo
nang makita mong may nagmamahal sayo
ng higit pa sa inaakala mo.
at ibabalik mo ang damdaming iyon
sa taong nagpaligaya sa'yo
at nagmahal sa'yo ng lubos.
Sana..
sa pagdating ng araw na iyon,
maging masaya rin ako para sa'yo.
Dahil narito ako sa harapan mo
pero hindi mo nakikitang,
mas mahal kita
kaysa sa taong minamahal mo ngayon.
I wish..
that everytime you look at the stars
and marvel at their number
you remember me,while I'm here alone
wishing I was a star
so that you'd look at me too
even for just a moment.
I wish..
that with each step you take,
you realize how painful it is
for me to see you walking
farther and farther away from me.
hoping that wherever you're going
is where I am right now.
I wish..
that everytime you're sleeping soundly,
every dream you have will
bring you happiness
that I know I can never give you.
'cause I know that I will never
be the subject of your dreams.
I wish..
that someday you'll open your eyes
so you can see that you are loved
more than you've ever imagined.
and you'll give back that same emotion
to the person who's made you happy
and has loved you unconditionally.
I wish..
that when that day comes,
I'll be happy for you too.
'cause here I am infront of you
but you fail to see
I love you so much more
than the person you're loving right now.
