Shall I knock on this door?
To see what I have left
Finding the space I still deserve
Looking for moments hanging on the wall
Not sure if I really need a closure
Maybe I will never put it to rest
Maybe this is my learning curve
A reminder to never give my all

This building stood against time
Cracked at all phases
Blended til tasteless
Drenched in sweat and tears
Beyond curiousity and being furious
This building stood against time
Each path lined with history
Every corner bears a memory
The wall bounced with an anthology
The floor drowned in beautiful poetry
This building stood against time
No threat can burn the roof
No pity can make it move
This fortress is mine and mine only
Alas, you are not worthy to challenge me

Cuba menghambat keruh
Langit matikan guruh
Deru bersilih ganti
Merungkai mimpi malam tadi
Beda dingin jendela
Antara Istiklal dan Galata
Dipisah tiga puluh anak tangga
Apa hatinya masih ada?

I am watching you watching him
Being in your own bubble
I am looking at you looking at him
Dreaming the impossible
Melayang satu detik
Bersilih senyum, amarah
Pada awan rasa terusik
Makin menjauh, lenakah?
Merindu bingit ombak
Tangan kita menyentuh deru yang serupa
Mengharap pada senja
Kaki kita memijak pasir yang sama

Tiada seri, tiada cahaya
Tiada berita, tiada tertanya
Karena rasaku sudah mati
Hilang peduli
Bisa tertusuk duri
Masih lapang pergi
This heart isn't cold enough
To take the heat off the chart
You are the coal
I am no miner
I left it undone, in pieces
scattered without anything spoken
Fire still burning every spot,
where you stomped your mark
Digging and taking away
Melting until it is over
A word too big to find a place
In you from me
In me from you
An effort too risky
Heart too broken to see
How is it possible that you can make me say goodbye a thousand times... and I still feel like you said it first?
An arrow straight to my heart.
