The Chronicles of Failure
* Young I was, with little fear
Oh how I wish the younger me was still here
Young I was, with so many hopes
but now those dreams are less afloat
Grown I am, lost in choices
pushed to anger by little voices
Grown I am, broken and sad
realization of what I wished I had
Dead to be, but never missed
now far from the joy of her kiss
Dead to be, and forever lost
for my life to this world was of little cost
In gods arms, I'll find my peace
all my pain and failures shall come to cease
In gods arms, I shall weap without fear
for those with emotions shall join me here
Look back I shall, and never regret
the losses and gains of my every bet
Look back I shall, and forever see
it was these dreams that had hurt me
Now I see, that possesions and values matter not
for in the beautiful realm of heaven I have a spot
Now I see, that no matter the dream
god has a place for me in his bigger scheme

The Pool of Broken Hearts
* Pool of Broken Hearts
By: Josh Blake
Verse 1
Take, the time to show me
that everything will be ok
and that i won't stay this way
Take, a little part of me
so you want forget that moment in time
that our hearts intertwined
(so my heart decays)
Verse 2
Light, up the way for me
and show me where i went wrong
and how i should of done this all along
light, up the heart inside of me
and tell me if my hearts truly broken everywhere
i would look myself but i see you there
Chorus
No matter, who it is that comes along to make you happy
i'll feel at rest if you give me a smile to see
A smile that lights my memory
No matter, whenever you're in need of me
there's not a shore too distant to be
I'll find you with that part you took from me
And so my heart, is shattered into a thousand parts
falling in with the pool of broken hearts
Verse 3
Shattered, i walk this world
picking up each piece along the way
hoping i can put it back together someday
Shattered, i fake a smile
avoiding the chance that i'll make the world dim
asking myself where has my happiness been
Verse 4
Tears, fall as i think of you
walking this world i cry seeing you in my mind
wishing that i could just go blind
Tears, streaming a river
I sit in the comfort of a dark room
wandering if this love is truly doom
Chorus 2
All i needed, was you here with me
to show me how true love is supposed to be
the true love that's shattered in me
All i needed, was a kiss on the lips
and your soft gentle hands holding my hips
hot tears splashing as each hits
And so my heart, is shattered into a thousand parts
falling in with the pool of broken hearts
Verse 5 (bridge)
Can you please, help me gather what's left
cause i can't catch my breath
Can you please, tell me that time was not wasted
and that this was true love that i have tasted
Can you please, hold me one last time before the sunrise
so i can see if our love is gone from your eyes
Chorus
And so my heart, is shattered into a thousand parts
falling in with the pool of broken hearts
End
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raving Hearts
The lights shatter darkness,
flickering strobes of every color
A tight beat blasting in my ears,
as together our hearts rub against each other
Flangers kick in sounding a futuristic rhythm,
a beat that makes me feel like I can cry
With each thump, pound, and bang,
comes the guarantee that we'll never say goodbye
A illuminating set of lights circling over and over,
with each flash comes a vision of our lives to be
But baby this isn't a rave,
this is what's going on inside of me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Madness
She watched as her husband slept like a baby in their bed,
slowly with love stroking the hair atop the man's head.
Lets go back to the day he got on one knee,
asking her to become his wife to be.
Her tears were warm and her heart was struck,
a charming man's love was proving her luck.
Back to the present, she kisses his cheek,
remembering that day as if it was just last week.
Again her mind wandered to the day she wore that dress,
fussing and complaining in worry that her hair was a mess.
Do not see the bride before the wedding, a silly superstition,
the man rushed to her with comfort, like an agent on a mission.
Now here in this bed she smiled thinking about that day,
he was so perfect, he knew exactly what to say.
One more time, the memories flooded her mind,
to the those cherished memories that brought butterflies to her spine.
Then she reached under her pillow speaking the words I love you,
"Forgive me sweetie, but I can never forgive you."
The knife gashed his throat and tore through the flesh,
splattering the floor with a crimson mess.
She crawled to the corner and held herself tight,
for the last time her memories took flight.
A drunken man standing in front of their child,
as the man's hand bid her face defiled.
He kicked and punched scoring many a bruise,
their son crying out at his father's abuse.
But now that was over and she had taken his life,
as memories poured down from her bloody knife.

Deep Scars
Verse 1
First there were songs echoing in my heart,
then there were promises to never fall apart.
Now there is breaking, snapping, and cracking,
can you not hear the heart inside of me screaming.
Verse 2
My world.
Is falling apart.
As you--
break my heart
Your love.
is fading away--
Now I.
must kiss your memory goodbye today.
Chorus
Cause when the scars, dig too deep to bear.
The signs of the end are everywhere.
When the scars, dig too deep to bear.
I can count you not being there.
This is my last break.
Verse 2
A pillow fight inside my head,
the memories of our hearts in bed.
These days will continue on and on and on
but my heart feels like it will never move on.
Verse 2
My world.
Is falling apart.
As you--
break my heart
Your love.
is fading away--
Now I.
must kiss your memory goodbye today.
Bridge
I gave to you.
You took away.
You broke me.
I learned to pray.
You broke me.
You broke me.
You broke me.
You--broke--me!!!
Chorus
Cause when the scars, dig too deep to bear.
The signs of the end are everywhere.
When the scars, dig too deep to bear.
I can count you not being there.
This is my last break.
Final Verse
Yet again the sun rises to a new day,
will I be ok?
Will I make it through this day?
END
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the end...
First you were that kid,
that just wanted it to end.
A new world around,
for you to shape and bend.
Then you made your enemies,
and then you made your friends.
Then you made it through the year,
and wished it'd never end.
Soon you knew them all,
and then they all would call.
Soon you felt so strong,
they were there to catch your fall.
But finally you saw the end,
of a dream that felt so quick.
Finally you think back on the years,
and realize that time takes friends with every tick.
