Lyrics to Eyes Open by Triangle Offense x Ryan Bandong

::CHORUS::
Ryan Bandong
Your eyes were open when I kissed you
I wanna know what’s on your mind
But I’m finding it so hard to forget you
I wanna know that you are fine

Sci & Bry
What it do, what it does, girl?
Hey, what it do, what it does?
What it do, what it does, girl?
Hey, what it do, what it does?
What it do, what it does, girl?
Hey, what it do, what it does?
What it do, what it does, girl?
Hey, I wanna know where you was…

Verse: Sci
Hey! Where you was at?
I had to bring the bass and the drum track
Sorry for the wait, now you can bump that, girl
I had to see your face, so I’ve come back (word)
I’ve run back here, back up in the place
Where we were last year, a little conversation
I sparked right here, that’s the same place
I whispered in her ear (yea, right here)
Yea, my dear and where we left off
A kiss, that was all, no words from then on
I never forgot you, the thoughts just kept on
‘Til I got the nerve to confront you (tell all)
Spilling the guts, oh, it’s gotta be love, yo
I wanna know if you and I can ever be us though
…you don’t gotta rush though
Trust me, I’ll wait till you wanna come back home, oh

::CHORUS::

Verse: Pwol
See, unlike them, she a different breed
Which makes her a little bit hard to read
Said she didn’t have much time for me
‘Cause she was on a one way back to he
But he wasn’t there, so naturally
I took her by the hand rather passively
And asked when she would come back to me
She laughed, said, “Why you asking me?”
With a chance we’d part and never meet
With hearts too far and beyond our reach
And I agree with what you speak
But I don’t say anything I don’t mean
So you should go, it’s almost 3
You wasted enough of your time with me
She said, “Can I ask you before I leave…
Would you mind having one last dance with me?”

::CHORUS::

Bridge: Sci & Ryan
She’s heard it all before, hurt and all before
But I’m not like them
Whatever’s mine is yours, home designer floors
You could walk right in
She’s been involved with all sorts of kinds before
But not like this
She’s dreamed it all before, never thought at all
This is the life we live

Verse: Bry
…I long for the day
The one where I hope you could come my way
I remember that night, how your man deserted you
You made me feel like I was the man you deserved, boo
‘Cause you let me touch you in ways that you never would
And us together was a dream that I never could
Fathom, said you were a beauty, you replied
I was handsome, so baby, can we make this a tandem?
Leave me for him, no need for the heartache
Just leave me with the lights and the dark stage
Kiss on the lips, then we part ways
But your eyes open is how my heart breaks
‘Cause I’ll never know what thought you were thinking
Capture a moment to remember, no flinching
But why your eyes resisted to blinking
Is a pain I refuse to let sink in

Taking a Stand by Courtney Wong

Taking a Stand by Courtney Wong

Musician Courtney Wong released a music video for her song “Taking a Stand”. There are 27 million people trapped in slavery in the world today and a wave of abolitionists fighting to end it. Her music video depicts the cycle that trafficked victims undergo in the United States and around the world. The average age girls are forced into prostitution is 12-13 in the U.S. This is meant to increase awareness on the human wrong that is human trafficking. It’s also meant to ask the audience if they will take a stand against it along with the actors who are already fighting sex trafficking in other venues.

Here’s a few more videos about sex/human trafficking: Justice Has A Name by Mickey Cho, Pieces by Sam Ock x Kero One, and Redlight by Lucy Liu.

Lyrics to Taking a Stand by Courtney Wong

Nameless faces keep coming in
Stealing her hope, her future again and again
Traded, given and taken, like the market’s top good
To listen, obey instruction is all she’s ever understood

But I won’t sit idly by
As they tear away at her life

I’m taking a stand
I’ll leave my heart open to break for the broken
And carry their pain
I’m taking a stand
Keep apathy silenced to scream through the violence
I won’t let you win
I’m taking a stand, I’m taking a stand

Countless encounters suffocate her memory
As she dares to barely exist, to barely breathe
Waiting for a sunrise that won’t bring a new day
Just a routine nightmare, reality’s way

Passion, joy, and dreams—a legend, a myth
To one who cannot see the light that’s been lit
Chained to this death sentence while the world just denies
The lies they tell me, that slavery died

I’m taking a stand
I’ll take it no longer, this sentence you’re under
I’ll fight for its end
