S.T.I.F.

In a quiet town, where the echoes play, We dreamt of nights that would never fade away, Maki thumping bass, while Gerard screams the leads, Podz strumming rhythms, planting musical seeds. But the stage is dark, and the lights have dimmed, Our sounds lost in silence, where the hope is slimmed, Rixon counts the beats, but the heart’s feeling hollow, Kerk’s sticks lay still, what are we left to follow? S.T.I.F, we’re smarter than the fools, Bonded by our passion, breaking all the rules, From NOPO’s shore, we’ll rise like the tide, Though the distance keeps us apart, our spirits collide. Paul's off in Canada, chasing dreams in the night, While we long for his voice, to guide us with its light, In Bohol's sun, Kerk finds fun in the sand, But our music's lost weight, without our frontman’s hand. We laugh at the memories, the notes that we played, This hiatus feels heavy, like a debt that we’ve made, But deep in our souls, where the melodies flow, We’ll wait for the moment when our harmony glows. S.T.I.F, we’re smarter than the fools, Bonded by our passion, breaking all the rules, From NOPO’s shore, we’ll rise like the tide, Though the distance keeps us apart, our spirits collide. So we’ll keep holding on, to the dreams that we’ve spun, In the heart of NOPO, our journey’s just begun, When Paul’s voice returns, and the band finds its groove, We’ll shake the heavens, make the world move. S.T.I.F, we’re smarter than the fools, Bonded by our passion, breaking all the rules, From NOPO’s shore, we’ll rise like the tide, Though the distance keeps us apart, our spirits collide. So here’s to the echoes, the love that we sing, From the depths of our hearts, to the stars we cling, S.T.I.F will prevail, through the clouds, through the rain, Together we’ll shine, in this sweet musical game.
