Sober

Still aware of what is happening to me,

Still aware of whom I've with,

Still aware of what I'm talking about,

Still aware of time ticking counting up.

I'm not drunk, just drunk a little hard,

I'm not drunk, just a little sober,

I'm not drunk, just thinking of the past,

I'm not drunk, just a little bit sad.

I'm going out not because I'm tempering my lonesome,

I'm going out not because I need a temporary companion,

I'm going out not because I must speak out all of frustrations,

But to think again to increase my mental capability.

I'm not covering my sadness between my laughs,

I'm not covering my self-reliant between my peers,

I'm not covering my lies between my truths,

But because I'm self-sobering.

Hindi ako nagpapakalasing dahil lang sa simpleng pag-ibig,

Hindi ako nagpapakalasing dahil gusto ko lang,

Hindi ako nagpapakalasing dahil kasama ko ngayon mga tropapips ko,

Hindi ako lasing, nakainom lang, tipsy kumbaga.

Di naman nakakalasing ininom ko isang tagay lang ng Vodka,

Di naman nakakalasing ininom ko isang baso lang ng Vermouth,

Di naman nakakalasing ininom ko isang order lang ng Cognac,

Syempre di mawawala ang pulutan, chicharaps.

Mukhang walang kwenta talaga ano, wala lang magawa,

Mukhang walang kwenta talaga sino, mga kainuman ko,

Mukhang walang kwenta talaga saan, lahat ng tagayan,

Mukhang walang kwenta talaga ako, ako lang ba?

Sinusulat ko ito ngayon dahil gusto ko lang,

Sinusulat ko ito ngayon dahil masakit ulo ko,

Sinusulat ko ito ngayon dahil wala lang,

Sinusulat ko ito ngayon dahil masaya that's all.
