Breathe In 02:27
every single moment i can hear screams and whispers behind my ears i can no longer bear what i see this loneliness is killing me i can't listen it's pouring down on me i can't breathe in it's falling hard on me time to re-asses my adult life suddenly you're missing who's left behind learn to appreciate what you have before you know, it's no longer in your hands embrace everything nothing last longer as it seems (2x)

Sight 02:33
do i care even if you're here i don't mind being so unkind told myself not to try my luck coz honestly i don't give a fuck! you're not authorized dont need you in my life stay away from my sight you're not allowed don't want you here around you're only making my hopes high did i tell that i'm just playing games all those times when you're with my side did you bought all my stupid lies? but in the end, i'm the one who cries!

Grip 03:14
we used to think that we can never work it out way beyond our reach but look at us now we're stuck and meant to see the reasons why we're still here now don't loose your grip everything will fall into place need you to trust me now our kids are young but old enough to understand the problems we both have i'll ignore the thought of leaving you then find myself living on my own when you're in fear i'll be there to remind and make it happen sounds crystal clear yet things can quickly change in a sudden

Worst 02:38
what's there to know everybody is talking about it doesn't hurt not to know well we can try we can just learn how to accept it then live the life that we love coz lately i i'm the worst version of myself the worst version of me i'm not afraid of the consequeces i might face need to step up my pace if there's a will and combine it with enough effort you will surely get by last night i tried to wipe out all these fears inside looks like the more i hide, the more i can't get rid of it
5.
met a girl this morning never thought i will feel for her coz when i first saw her face she didn't bother to look at me the way she dresses that bothers me i think she came from high society all those jewels, all those fancy things made me scared to pull my strings coz now ohh whoa i don't know what to do and I know whoa i can't live without you ohh got a chance to talk to her found out that she's a real nice girl all those jewels, all those things doesn't mean a thing for her but something happened something's changed she had to leave me for a change of phase now i don't know just what to do i found myself i'm crying too she's my data girl, i will always love her

about

"I first caught the first incarnation of Village Idiots back in the summer of 1995 playing a D.I.Y. show in Calauan, Laguna. back when D.I.Y. meant the kids in the provinces had to do everything by themselves - look a venue to play, find the cheapest equipment they can find (cheap meant crappy).

Fast forward to 2003, Village Idiots had access to better equipment, but still were crappy (in a nice way) hahaha - they came out with "Needle(s)s To Say", a 10 song cd which reflected the teen angst heartaches of these fine scrawny gentlemen.

After their last hometown show Lakefest 2010, Village Idiots are back with a vengence with "Grip" - a 5 song EP of their signature heartfelt fastpaced pop-punk tunes.

Get a grip and don't let go. merong forever sa Village Idiots".
