Facade

Some things, you are just helpless to change.
Stand on the sideline and watch it happen.
How tough is it?
With a wanting heart and a crippled hand.

----------

Time is tight in the army
Most of the time rushing from point a to b
Fatigue and sore muscles robbed my will to pen thoughts down
But nonetheless,i remember them well.

On the train to meet friends now
A day spent with them,preparing for days without.
Particular one can't make it,
And it's a big void to fill in.

-----------------

Bloody tekong birds sat by the window
At 2am in the morning.
One tried a kamikaze against the glass
Another suspended nearby with it's wings fluttering in a blur.

They chirped throughout the night
My frustration raised to a new height.
Officers yelled "fuck up birds"
Even with their ranks, they are no match against mother nature.

All we recruits want is a good night sleep.
But everyday we got to worry about birds' feathers and their shits.
Bunk inspections, we always fail
Because of the damn bloody tekong birds.

------------------------

Early in the morning sun
Quebec company having fun
Drenched in sweats with our platoon mates
Going jogging on the grey track.

Heylo heylo hey lo hey lo hey lo

Early in the morning sun
Quebec company having fun
My blur buddy forgot to bring FAD(First Aid Dressing)
In the end I kerna SGT TEKAN.

Heylo heylo hey lo hey lo hey lo.

Tekong is not hard.
Just that most of the time I'm preoccupied.
