Roses On Your Doorstep
Bret Desrochers May 2014
I'll leave roses on your doorstep
Whenever you're feeling down
I'll take you anywhere you please
Cause baby you and I aren't bound
So let me be your prince
And I'll give you a crown

Save your time from looking
It's all right right here
And I know that it ain't easy
But I can show you which way to steer

Let me take you places unknown
Make memories that last forever
Turn days into weeks and months
And Since things can only get better and better
Maybe months can then turn into years
Then we can share our own piece of forever

Save your time from looking
It's all right here
And I know that it ain't easy
But I can show you which way to steer

You're way ahead of the playing field
And it drives me downright insane
But even though you make me crazy
I couldn't ever forget your name
And even though I disappear now and then
She knows I'll return just like the falling rain

Save your time from looking
It's all right here
And I know that it ain't easy
But I can show you which way to steer

This Is My Plea
Bret Desrochers Dec 2012
The evidence has come to light
I must say it's rather overwhelming
Because it seems that a heart of gold
Just doesn't seem to cut it anymore
You can be sweet and cute
But it'll never get you the girl of your dreams

Is anyone else sick of stereotyping
Or people judging you by your clothes
So who cares if their hair is a little long
Does it really matter how tight their jeans are
So **** all that the TV screens may see

You fought to get to the spot you're at
Be proud 'cause they may never see
What it took for you to get here
Call me wrong but wear your scars proudly
The world will thank you one day
For helping change what everyone thinks

Is anyone else sick of stereotyping
Or people judging you by your clothes
So who cares if their hair is a little long
Does it really matter how tight their jeans are
So **** all that the TV screens may say

I know that all this cannot be solved
Problems this big aren't fixed right away
This just doesn't go out to one side
I's for both, so let's come together
Put aside the differences and join as one
Just be yourself and whoever that may be

Let us put an end to the judge
Let us put an end to the stereotype
Changing the world is easily said
But it takes a lot to get it done
We're a generation ready to take the world
Let us take it and make it for the better

I put my faith in you
Gave you more then ever
Still you didn't believe in forever
So don't ask again if we can be together
Forever has turned into never

Go!

I don't need your kiss
I don't need your love
I just want to go on ahead
Too many tears have been shed
This was never meant to last
You're now apart of my past

You lied through your teeth
Good thing I didn't wait to breathe
I was just someone you used
My heart was just something you abused
So when it's late, late, late at night
And you cry after another fight
Just remember....

I don't need your love
I don't need your kiss
I just want to go on ahead
Too many tears have been shed
This was never meant to last
You're now apart of my past

Instead of looking back on the good
I watched the bad and finally understood
There were holes in everything you said
The anger you had was burning read
I found out the truth and finally won
So don't bet on being my only one

I don't need your love
I don't need your kiss
I just want to go on ahead
Too many tears have been shed
This was never meant to last
You're now apart of my past

Now don't get me wrong
I loved you all along
I just needed the clouds to part
It ***** for that, it took a broken heart

So when it's late, late, late at night
And you cry after another fight
Just remember.....

I don't need your love
I don't need your kiss
Just know I'm sorry for everything
And that you'll always be my greatest win

Breathing
Bret Desrochers Dec 2012
I'm not a role model, it just isn't me
But there are things you need to see
A side of me you might not like
This side isn't as easy as riding a bike
What if you don't approve and let me go
Make up your mind time's moving to slow

Breathing is the hardest thing to do
When I'm looking right at you
With the sound of your voice
My breath's taken away
You made your choice
And I don't know what to say

Your favorite flowers and a special rose
You know how many girls would **** for those
I just couldn't keep up with his flair
You forgot about me and never stopped to care
I could say things are better
But they're **** when we aren't together

Breathing is the hardest thing to do
When I'm looking right at you
With the sound of your voice
My breath's taken away
You made your choice
And I don't know what to say

I swear to God I'll get my life on track
If it helps me win you back
I storm the gates and ask for forgiveness
Time seems to stand still it's an eerie stillness
One day when there isn't any more time
You'll turn on the radio and hear this rhyme

Breathing is the hardest thing to do
When I'm looking right at you
With the sound of your voice
My breath's taken away
You made your choice
And I don't know what to say

Beauty
Bret Desrochers Dec 2012
I'll never forget the first time
You put your lips on mine
Or the time when we decided to take another chance
When we decided it was time for another dance
Those who don't believe in us are all wrong
We were meant for each other all along

Beauty works in it's own way
You remind me of that every day
You don't have a flaw, at least in my eyes
You're lovelier then these pale blue skies

So maybe one day when it's forever
You and I can watch each other
Get older and older with every passing houw
Even in old age I'd still climb to the highest tower
Well boo it's because if it's for you
You're **** right I'm going to do what I got to do

Beauty works in it's own way
You remind me of that every day
You don't have a flaw, at least in my eyes
You're lovelier then these pale blue skies

I don't care about the past anymore
Our story can be passed down like folk-lore
How you and I finally came to be
Like Romeo & Juliet you'll see
The difference is we won't have a tragic end
Because I won't ever leave my best friend

Beauty works in it's own way
You remind me of that every day
You don't have a flaw, at least in my eyes
You're lovelier then these pale blue skies

Am I Thinking?
Bret Desrochers Dec 2012
What the **** am I thinking
I must not 'cause look at what I'm doing
I just have a knack for ruining things
Especially the ones that mean the most

Are you going to be here when I come home
Or will you leave me again, will I be alone

No more you, no more me
All this has me question reality
Sure these things all feel real
But what you're saying just can't be true
Granted that it's only a matter of time
Before I'm useless to you and your existence

What the **** am I thinking
I must not 'cause look at what I'm doing
I just have a knack for ruining things
Especially the ones that mean the most

Are you going to be here when I come home
Or will you leave me again, will I be alone

I constantly sing about my heart breaking
I truly wish I could stop how you feel
How you think the answers a bullet or rope
Baby just have a little hope
No harm will ever come your way
Not today or any other day

There will never be a time in which you fall
That I won't catch you and stand you up tall

What the **** am I thinking
I must not 'cause look at what I'm doing
I just have a knack for ruining things
Especially the ones that mean the most

Are you going to be here when I come home
Or will you leave me again, will I be alone

I can't take this pain anymore
Just come back and run into my arms
They won't ever let you go again
That's a promise I intend to keep
Because no matter what I ever love
None of it will come close to you

Destination Unknown
Bret Desrochers Jul 2012
Hey, the town is quite dark tonight
Can someone please turn on a light
All the lights are on you say
Then it must be my mood that has gone away

The pain will never disappear
Just like how you won't return here
It's become an empty place
With just one returning face
Oh it's become dark and incomplete
Like how I've become quiet and discreet

I've come back too many times
As if I want to witness your crimes
Sometimes I just miss you being my friend
That was the hardest thing I witnessed end

The pain will never disappear
Just like how you won't return here
It's become an empty place
With just one returning face
Oh it's become dark and incomplete
Like how I've become quiet and discreet

No longer do I want to look down
No longer do I want to frown
I can't help it though
'Cause I don't know where to go

The Crossroads
Bret Desrochers Jul 2012
It seems everything special turns to dust
As questions asked make my brain bust
So I plead God to answer me
With my final plea

Here I stand at the crossroads
Unsure of which way to turn
It seems like a familiar question
Of which bridge to burn
Do I stay and support like promised
Or do I leave and watch my heart churn

So as bombs drop and heads lift
I do my best to not cause a riff
Staying may be harder then I thought
But I won't leave you alone to rot

Time and pain will pass
One day you'll ask
What'd I lose and what'd I win
Was giving me up a prayer or was it a sin

Here I stand at the crossroads
Unsure of which way to turn
It seems like a familiar question
Of which bridge to burn
Do I stay and support like I promised
Or do I leave and watch my heart churn

Sod Off
Bret Desrochers May 2012
Hey, this is a letter
To all those who think they know better
So pay attention to every detail

Here we go, bring everything you own
Let's see if matches up to the throne
I built up my castle very high
Into space so hey **** the sky
I have no limit I can go higher
All without having to get flyer
I don't proper clothes or the right steez
I got what I need and life's a breeze

Now just cause you're buff
That doesn't mean you're tough
Stop hiding behind a computer screen
And let us see if you know how to get mean
*******, cause your opinion doesn't matter
They're like ******* and everyone's got one

Boom, here is your chance at a new start
Maybe this time be conscious and have a heart
So you don't ******* the people in your life
Cause one day, it'll get you into a strife
Think before you speak
And don't single out the weak

I went ahead and let it out
Now you're here with that pout
So turn that frown upside down
And go out and enjoy the town
This may be the only time
To redeem your ****** crime
Drop it and let it all go
Stop trying to disrupt the flow

Silly Little Feeling
Bret Desrochers Mar 2012
You found me when my life was off track
You took my hand and brought me back
Without knowing you had my heart
And we got off to a fresh, brand new start

I get a silly little feeling
Every time we touch
We kiss to start the healing
Of how I missed you so much

I always planned on forever
You and I simply together
You're all I need on this earth
You can have all you want no matter its worth

It's quite a simple little thing
Baby you are my everything

I get a silly little feeling
Every time we touch
We kiss to start the healing
Of how I missed you so much

When together I forget to breathe
In my mind your face is all that can prevail
Cause when together I never wanna leave
A simple breath is all I can inhale

A treacherous path lay ahead
With you next me, everything else is dead

I get a silly little feeling called love
From the moment our hands touch
And I know you were sent from above
Cause oh I love you so ******* much

We Can Stand, They Can Fall
Bret Desrochers Mar 2012
Common!

I'm getting sick and tired
Stay up all night, go to school wired
Now just shut the **** up and shut your trap!
I don't wanna hear about your ******* crap!

Here we go again down this road
This path here is getting pretty old
These problems are always on repeat
No victory in sight, just defeat
Let's grow up and forget them all
Cause one day we'll stand and they'll fall

For so long they dominated the game
With no thought on the preys face or name
Don't fear me, cause I'm just a speck!
Fear those whose lives you wreck!

So stop and you should listen
Cause the time has come
So maybe you should run
Cause it's your turn, for your blood to glisten

Here we go again down this road
This path here is getting pretty old
These problems are always on repeat
Now that victory's in sight, not defeat
Let's grow up and forget them all
Cause one day we'll stand and they'll fall

Escape
Bret Desrochers Mar 2012
Sometimes I get a feeling
That the walls are closing in
Look around me and there isn't a way out
The light above starts to dim and shrink

Escape doesn't seem to be in my future
Death seems to just be on my doorstep
Then it all disappears in a flash
Like nothing ever happened

Cross paths with someone you hate!
Kick their ***, it was always in their fate
Give someone what they deserve
I'm no cop, but I'm here to protect and serve!

Let's go!

Escape doesn't seem to be in my future
Death seems to just be on my doorstep
Then it all disappears in a flash
Like nothing ever happened

Breakaway, from the status quo
Stray off, the beaten path below
Hear and see me now
Am I still that disrespectful clown?

Escape! From this god awful place
Escape! Live life at a new pace
Escape! Just ******* escape!

Where Were You?
Bret Desrochers Feb 2012
Sometimes when expectations are not met
It's usually cause of how high the bar was set
And how you treat me now, I will never forget
Cause sometimes I'm something you don't get

Where were you, when I needed inspiration
Work was always your sole destination
When I needed something to look up to
I never truly believed it would ever be you

I found it in the most profound places
With people who had the most recognizable faces
It only took Sixx seconds for me to realize
That the world is beautiful, though not in everybody's eyes

The shadows creep up ever so slightly
Now would be time for the lights to burn brightly
Can't expect what you want to be given
Gotta take what you can, if you can be driven

Where were you, when I needed inspiration
Work was always your sole destination
When I needed somebody to look up to
I never truly believed that it'd be you

The Title
Bret Desrochers Feb 2012
This road can get very lonesome
I occupy an occupation
That never reaches a state of boredom
That's pretty great, by my calculation

If you don't know what I do
Then I truly am sorry for you
I share what brings me pleasure
That truly is the greatest treasure

Go ahead and say what you want
About me and my friends
Cause that's exactly what we want
Cause media has no foreseen ends

Goodbye to all the old
Hello to the new and bold
It's nice to finally meet
And dance to a different beat

Far off the beaten path
Where nothing matters, not even math
I try to exist, rather then resist
I live to play, as if there won't be another day

I dance and my hands start to shake
And my composer starts to break
The lights go up, the curtain down
I have no reason to ever frown

Go ahead and say what you want
About me and my friends
Cause it's exactly what we want
Cause media has no foreseen ends

Boy this tale never ages
Even if in life we turn new pages
There is always constant, the title
Something that won't ever be forgotten, the title

Kick it!

Twist open and let it pour out
You'll enjoy the pleasure I have no doubt
It'll bring you down to your knees
I can assure that, it'll be breeze

Enjoy today forget about tomorrow
Who needs to steal when you can borrow
Never say that you can't
Cause it'll start a rant
That'll never end
I can guarantee that my friend

It's easy to see what you need
Harder to tell what you want
Hit up the streets anytime I please
But is it what I want or what I need

Jump around let us have a good time
Having fun sure ain't a crime

Enjoy today forget about tomorrow
Who needs to steal you can just borrow
Never say that you can't
Cause it'll start a rant
That'll never end
I can guarantee that my friend

My pals are the people I like
They aren't gonna go leave and strike
Strike a blow straight to my back
Cause anger, is something we lack

I had to ditch
Cause sometimes life is a *****
But I came back to see your face
I ran back at a frantic pace

Every light I light
Can never warm me like you did that night
Cause our love was the only thing I did right

Grace Has Left
Bret Desrochers Feb 2012
Put your fist into the ******* air
And bang your head, without a ******* care
Let me lose my forgotten mind
Hide it somewhere, no one will find
Hey, Hey!

Who do you see, when you don't know who you are
What do you do, when you think you've gone to far
Grace has left us, without a second thought
Grace left my body, left it to die and rot

Thinking gets me into some trouble
Even gets me seeing double
Put into the past what I thought was now
And shake, shake my mind down
Hit it boys!

Who do you see, when you don't know who you are
What do you do, when you think you've gone to far
Grace left us, without a second thought
Grace left my body, left it to die and rot

I waited so long
To grace a stage and sing my song
Here I go, down a lonely road
Here I go, embracing the cold

Can you feel it in your feet?
The quick, fast, and steady beat?

Who do you see, when you don't who you are
What do you do, when you think you've gone to far
Grace has left us, without a second thought
Grace has left my body, left it to die and rot

The Magic
Bret Desrochers Jan 2012
Every night spent with you feels like first time
With time never seeming to be long enough
Leaving you every single time
Is getting incredibly tough

With every kiss that I take
And every promise that I make
Love just continues to grow
And the magic just continues to flow

Holding you is easily the best part
I have faith you'll take care of my heart
It's simple as it can be
Cause baby you're the definition of happy

So with every kiss that I take
And every promise that I make
Love can continue to grow and grow
And the magic continues to flow

Never thought I'd feel this way
Once again it was to soon to say
I can't imagine a world you don't breathe in
I can only imagine one together pure without a sin

Every kiss that I take
Every promise that I make
Our love can always and forever grow
The Magic will always and forever flow

Fear
Bret Desrochers Jan 2012
Darkness isn't always that dark
A dogs bark isn't always just a bark
You fear things the public deems fearful
You cry at the things the public deems tearful
It's time we earned our right
And it's time we put up a good fight

Here we go!

Grip the edge of your seat
Hold on tight for there will be no defeat
Up is the only way to go
You must move fast, can't delay for the slow

Don't you worry nothing is gonna harm you
Not as long my arms wrap around you
Together we can change the world for the good
And do everything we should

Darkness isn't always that dark
A dogs bark isn't always just a bark
You fear things the public deems fearful
You cry at the things the public deems tearful
It's time we earned our right
And it's time we put up a good fight

Growing close was always part of the plan
And it is exactly why I hold your hand
The people who doubted the strength of everyone
Underestimated the power of fun

Hold me tight! Tonight!
Show me it's real! What I feel!

Darkness isn't always that dark
A dogs bark isn't always just a bark
You fear things the public deems fearful
You cry at the things the public deems tearful
It's time we earned our right
And it's time we put up a good fight

Rule #32
Bret Desrochers Jan 2012
It's time to put this all together
And realize who you want to leave
Or who you want to stay forever
I see you, and every time I can't breathe

Tonight boo put your head to rest
On the rise and fall of my chest
Fall asleep until the sunrise
See me when you first open your eyes

So it's why I enjoy the simple little things
Cause with you nothing else can matter
It's why you got me mad as a hatter

You lips kiss mine and nothing else truly exists
It started with a little touch
And I swear nothing will ever be too much

We can go shopping and watch TV
And there ain't anywhere else I'd rather be
So love me and I will never leave your side
With you I never ever have to hide

I never believed I'd ever be this happy
Never thought one day, I'd get this sappy
Here we go into another lovely night
Holding you my love just feels so right

So it's why I enjoy the simple little things
Cause with you nothing else can matter
It's why you got me mad as a hatter

You lips kiss mine and nothing else truly exists
It started with a little touch
And I swear nothing will ever be too much

I'll pick you up and lift you so high!
And set you down and shout out into the sky!

So it's why I enjoy the simple little things
Cause with you nothing else can matter
It's why you got me mad as a hatter

You lips kiss mine and nothing else truly exists
It started with a little touch
And I swear nothing will ever be too much

I Just Want You...
Bret Desrochers Jan 2012
It all went dark and bleak
I could start to feel my knees grow weak
My hands shook with every word you said
Anger had your face blood red

I'd be there until I was asked to leave
I always wore my heart, right on my sleeve

I'm dying to know how exactly you feel
All because you know how I feel
This separates us from the rest of the pack
Now that we've arrived there is no turning back

I just want you to be well aware
I just want you to be there and care
You proved to handle my highs
But can you withstand my lows

A time will come where you or I depart
It never will be an end just another start
So can I know you're gonna be okay
When the time comes on that fateful day

Shit Happens
Bret Desrochers Jan 2012
Let's go!

No soul that walks this earth
Will understand a thing about what I did
Or know what it was worth
It had to be done, just to stop my skid

Listen closely to these next lines
And pay attention to these silly rhymes

You say you and him are together
Well you're gonna regret this forever
I was the best thing for you at that time
Nothing could stop me, no nothing this time

But **** happens and I guess things change
I ended up alone and out of helps range
Still to this day I don't understand where I went wrong
Or if you just strung me right along

With you and I apart
I could get on with mending my heart
Chances of you coming back still remain high
And that time you're not gonna cry
Cause I won't answer the texts or calls
It's time I grew a set of *****
Thought you and I could have been forever

But **** happens and things change
I ended up alone and out of helps range
Still to this day I don't understand where I went wrong
Or if you strung me right along

Don't you understand that what I told you
Was the hardest thing for me to ever do

One mistake was all it took
And you closed me like an old book
I never felt right again after you went away
All because I didn't know what to say

I asked you to have faith, keep trying
Maybe one day soon you can stop crying

I can't escape my past
It ain't helping me and you last
I tried running rather then face my fears
That's got your eyes letting out tears
Don't you understand that what I told you
Was the hardest thing for me to do

You're the main reason I got sober
So together you and I could grow closer
It wasn't for anyone except her
Nobody except for her

I asked you to have faith, keep trying
Maybe one day soon you can stop crying

I can no longer escape my past
It caught up to me way to fast
It took you into into its abyss
Cause it knew without you I'd lose my bliss

What are we?
Bret Desrochers Jan 2012
It's extremely hard to find
Someone so real and kind
This world happens to be filled with fakes
Who don't know how to hit the brakes

What we do is always incorrect
To you we're just another speck
So I wanna know what are we
To you and who you want us to be

Something isn't right
Somethings wrong tonight
So pack up and leave this town
With you around you bring us all down

What's the point of love and romance
If the rest of us don't stand a chance

What we do is always incorrect
To you we're just another speck
So I wanna know what are we
To you and who you want us to be

I think I need to listen to peoples advice
Cause all they're doing is trying to be nice
So why shut them out any longer?
Let them help make me stronger

What we do is always incorrect
To you we're just another speck
So I wanna know what are we
To you and who you want us to be

Well guess what?
I really don't care.
I really don't ******* care!
I'm gonna be whatever I choose to be
So I can answer the question what are we

Soule Brothers
Bret Desrochers Jan 2012
They only come every once in awhile
People you can stand beside and call brothers
No matter if you share the same mother
Cause being orthodox just isn't my style

I got more then enough friends
But I have the perfect amount of soule brothers
Keeping it together, always and forever
On the field and always off

When sometimes sticks around after years go by
You know they're gonna be there when you die
Cause you expect the same
Cause to you and I they're more then a name

First grade all the way to graduation
Patriots fans and a part of Sox nation
Titletown is from where we reign
Come on and fight through the pain

I got more then enough friends
But the perfect amount of soule brothers
Keeping it together, always and forever
On the field and always off.

Nowhere to be Found
Bret Desrochers Jan 2012
The woods seem like a familiar place
Familiar like the lines in your face
I was nowhere to be found
Until you saved me from the bloodhound

Our love rose and our love fell
It was just like heaven and hell
Without you though
There'd be no light to follow

Sometimes sorry just isn't enough
So I brought roses just to beg to be heard

The woods seem like a familiar place
Just like the lines in your face
I was nowhere to be found
Until you saved me from the bloodhound

I could no longer hide my love
Could not keep inside for another minute
I remember ever second we spent together
Specifically when you said love me, I said forever.

Second Fucking Best
Bret Desrochers Jan 2012
I can't believe the words you just said
Put me in a place where nobody can save me
Nobody apart from you
Sometimes you don't get, what you put me through

Seems like once again I couldn't separate myself from the rest
Cause once again I'm second ******* best
You said to me "I love you"
But clearly those words ain't true

Sunny days are far out of the question
One thing will change I promise that
I'll still come to you at the drop of a hat
I promise that'll never change

You pushed me to the brink
Falling off the edge is what I think
No feeling is better then pain
Tears fall like a pouring rain

Once again **** hit the fan
And I wonder whether or not I'll ever be a deserving man

Seems like once again I couldn't separate myself from the rest
Cause once again I'm second ******* best
You said to me "I love you"
But clearly that ain't true

Truth was never your strong suit!
You played my heart like a flute!
Ahhhh! Go!



Seems like once again I couldn't separate myself from the rest
Cause once again I'm second ******* best
You said to me "I love you"
But clearly that ain't true

It's clear as day! Yeah!

I can't put into words how I feel
Every time you and I fight then heal
I pray to God what I did was right
And I hope I led you to the light

Go be with the one you love
Turns out you weren't sent from above
I got high and ****** up
And couldn't even stand up

Still you took me back
Even though sense was something I lack
Oh will you please just understand
I do what I do, to be the better man

I can't put into words how I feel
Every time you and I fight and heal
I pray to God what I did was right
I hope I led you to the light

We go at it and sobriety starts to leak
My future starts to look bleak
I said the right things wrong
You'll see why before long

I had to end it when I did
Cause it wasn't too long ago
That you and I went to hell, down below
And emerged, never to be the same

I cannot imagine what I've done
I crossed a line never turning back, I can only run

I can't put into words how I feel
Every time we fight and heal
I pray to God what I did was right
I hope I led you to the light

I know that when **** hit the fan
I promised to you I'd be a better man
This is me keeping that promise
Woah yeah

My Response
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
You act like you know everything
But that ain't the case at all
You seem to think your what the world wants
You seem to think your what the world wants

You could never be more wrong
Then you are now preaching to me
You say all I'll do is get hurt
That's alright with me as long I can get my voice in

You act before you think
And your insults come out in a wink
You have no remorse
You scream so loud you turn hoarse

Come and tell me
Come and tell me, just one more time

I spent too much time dwelling
On the words you spoke
Your voice turned to poison in my mind
Sending me into a free fall of chaos

I got a thing called rage ready to blow
All over you in a second
Just waiting for the go, go, go
Just one more second, yeah

You act before you think
And your insults come out in a wink
You have no remorse
You scream so loud, your hoarse

Come and tell me
Come and tell me, one more time

Throw It Away
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
What would you do for another chance
One more shot at one more dance
You'd give anything I'd guess
To clean and fix this ******* mess

You say why throw it away
For some mistake, made another day
I will never throw it away, throw it away
For anything, no matter what you or say

Took time for you cool off and relax a little bit
Took some time for you forget that ****
Can't blame you for getting ****** at me
But hey I ain't asking for no sincerity

Now what would I not do
If helped me get closer, get closer to you

You say why throw it away
For some mistake, made another day
I will never throw it away, throw it away
For anything, no matter what you do or say

You all I want, but not what I need
You will be, once my soul is freed
I grasp at what I can, let go of all the rest
Plain and simple you bring out best in all of the rest!

Here we go! One more time!
Bring it home! One more time!

You say why throw it away
For some mistake, made another day
I will never throw it away, throw it away
For anything, no matter what you do or say

Lost
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
I sometimes wonder if I belong
Cause everything I do is somehow wrong
My day is never up, always down
I never smile, always frown

In this world I feel alone and lost
I'd do anything to loved and found
No matter the cost
'Till then I won't make a sound

This thought I think inside my head
Makes me think. Am I better off dead
I somehow wonder if one day it'll all make sense
Or is my life worth nothing but petty cents

People pretended to know what I went through
I thought everyone was fake until I met you

After that everything seemed to change for the good
You spoke to me and I finally understood
Just cause I'm lost doesn't mean I won't be found

In my mind I can sense some clarity
In my life I find some stability
Can see the light at the end of the tunnel

In this world I feel alone and lost
I'd do anything to be loved and found
No matter the cost
'Till then I dare not make a sound

Woah, Yeah

In this world I felt lost!
Wanted to be loved and found
I did not care bye who or the cost
Until you I never made a sound

I Wonder....
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
Go on ahead and check the scene
See if it has what it takes to get me clean
I've been to rock bottom and in a dark place
I need to rise up and see a bright face

I wonder who'd miss me
I wonder who'd show sincerity

Does anyone even care at all
If I stand or if I fall
I know that you don't
I won't ask for a visit I know you won't

I cannot even picture you these days
Your face is nothing but a foggy haze
As our memories burn into ash
I fight the urge to get high off hash

I wonder if she'll finally realize
I wonder if she'll see what she means in my eyes

Does anyone even care at all
If I stand or if I fall
I know that you don't
I'd ask for a visit but I know you won't

The words I speak aren't *******
And I mean all of it
Tomorrow is a brand new day
But can I get through today?

Blow Me Away, I Dare You
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
Yeah, Go!

We grow up in a world filled with hate
Just to die with a tainted slate
I can't see the point in everything
Especially if it brings in a painful sting

Dear world can't you see what you've done!?
Or how you've spoiled all the fun!?
No I didn't think so..

Do what you need to do
******* away, I ******* dare you
Send me flying with nobody around
Hear me scream every time I hit the ground

I try and grasp what I just saw
Kneel to the floor and pick up my jaw
The one percent is feel with greed and swine
Considering all they do is whine

So the next time you go to complain
Understand that what you feel isn't pain
It's more of just being a *****

So do what you gotta do
******* away, I ******* dare you
Send me flying when nobody's around
Hear me scream every time I hit the ground

******* away, ******* away
End it today, end it today

Oh!

So do what you gotta do
******* away, I ******* dare you
Send me flying when nobody's around
Hear me scream every time I hit the ground

I drift off to the deep blue sea
Begging for a little bit of sympathy
Walk into the breaking swell
Into the sea I fell

I hit the water with a splash
The cold struck me in a flash
Seems more like a wake up call
That I need to stand up high and tall

With every second that ticks bye
With every day that passes in the sky
So I put my fist into the air
And bang my head without a care

A floor with crazies is where I belong
Here where I stand I can do no wrong
The deep blue was all I did need
It was there and then my soul was freed

I can count on my two hands
The friends I know, that fill the empty stands
We all count ourselves as one
And chant the songs just for fan

With every second that ticks by
With every day that passes in the sky
So I put my fist into the air
And bang my head without a care

So when I turn on and up that stereo
I set myself free and let myself go
I know that with every year and every age
I will still love when my heroes hit that stage

I am foREVer a fan
I am foREVer without a plan

This song is about my devotion and love for the band: Avenged Sevenfold. I cannot think of what I would do if I didn't listen to them. And the foREVer is for Jimmy. We miss you buddy.

It Seemed So Simple
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
I hoped one day you'd here me
I hoped one day you'd see
I hope you get it this time
I hope one day you'll end up singing this rhyme

It all seemed so simple not to long ago
I was never meant to upset the flow
You changed everything
By playing me like a violin

So here I go!

Here's a ******* to those who judge
And when proved wrong opinions don't budge
One day I will grace your TV screen
And hopefully then you get what I mean

Oh! I meant to say goodbye!
But your words hit home so I got high!
Others told me to stay away!
But I won't heed their advice, no not today!

I hoped one day you'd hear me
I hoped one day you'd see
I hope you get it this time
I hope one day you'll end up singing this rhyme

What has the world come to in this day and age!?
When bullies and ******* take center stage!
All the good will lie underneath

Do you not get what you do is wrong!?
I know you don't, hence this song!
All the good will underneath

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Can you repeat what I say!?

I hoped one day you'd hear me
I hoped one day you'd see
I hope you get it this time
I hope one day you'll end up singing this rhyme

Ooo, Ooo, Ooo

Can we all sit and talk quietly
And can we see some sincerity
Only once you understand and feel
Will you get how much it takes to heal

Vacation
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
Why don't I just throw it all in your face
And see if I can escape this ******* place
Use a diversion to escape
Drive away listen to that old cassette tape

Can't I get away for a little while
The site of you is getting quite vial
A get away sounds like a good thing
A vacation is the best thing

Before I set up this battle and war
I need to know and reassure you of the score
You lead by exactly one
So its in your best interest to turn and run

I will kick your ******* skull in
I can guarantee the win

I don't where to start or where to end
Cause even know I don't know what is around the bend

Can't I get away for a little while
The site of you is getting quite vial
A get away sounds like a good thing
A vacation is the best thing

I recall a time once ago
Where you were an angel not a ***
Back then we were together
With hopes of it being forever

Ha, when I think of that now
I can see why it came crumbling down

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Can't I get away for awhile
The site of you is getting quite vial
A get away seems like a good thing
A vacation is the best thing

It Means Nothing
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
I walk away fighting the urge
To turn around at you and scream
You make it all seem worse then what it may be
I beg to you just set me free

You want to fight I can tell
And make me say something I'll regret
Even though I only regret falling for you
Especially after all this **** you do

I know what I say means nothing
It goes in one ear then out the other
I don't even know why I seem to bother

You're a liar and cheater
Somebody who thinks they can get away
With anything they do on any day

It seems you always need the last word
Ending ever sentence with a goodbye
Do I even care that you don't wanna try
You push me to the edge, you make me wanna die

Once again I will ask
If what I speak will reach your brain
Or if I wasted my breath for another time
Whatever you seem to do, seems to be a crime

I know what I say means nothing
It goes in one ear then out the other
I don't even know why I seem to bother

You're a liar and a cheater
Someone who thinks they can get away
With what they do on any day

It means nothing admit it
Cause you don't give two *****
No you don't, don't ******* lie
I hope what I say hits home, makes you cry!

I tried to be civil and neat
I tried to come back sweep you off your feet
Do you know we met when I was high
Do you know I think of you when I look up at the sky

You may frown upon what I choose to do
But we all know it is because of you

I see you and cringe inside
I hear you and dart and hide
Your the one I want to be reckless
When it comes to you I'm selfless

I've noticed and come to realize
That it isn't fire which burns in your eyes

The moment came where I had to see
What you had come to be
And I walked over and couldn't say a word
And turned and ran back into the herd

I was in way to deep in all this ****
But now I'm here and your my it
My it my everything
My it my everything

My apologies were true and sincere
And now it's lead me and you here
Can we please just not fight
I am done being alone at night

Let's Pretend
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
It's as if you still sit next to me
Truth be told the air's kind of eerie
Walk away from past right away
Just got to dream I'll stay

Let's pretend we're next to each other
Let's pretend we still love one another
Let us go play in the rain
And forget about our love being slain

It's the story of my life
Being the one who lost his wife

The day was bright and sunny
I said I love you honey
And as you ventured into the sky
The flame burnt out in my eye

We were a half written book
With something to find but nowhere to look
I will search for that treasure
For you honey it'll be my pleasure

Into your arms I wanna go
But I am aware I can't, no!

Let's pretend were next to each other
Let's pretend we still love one another
Let us go play in the rain
And forget about our love being slain

No, I'll never be the same
But I'm always gonna remember your name
You asked one time where you rank
Number one to be quite frank

Let's pretend were next to each other
Let's pretend we still love another
Let us go play in the rain
And forget about our love being slain

Goodbye Tonight
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
Sober as a drunk
Trying to get out of my funk
I inhale and swallow it down
Just to deal with people in this town

I set myself up for pain
It's inevitable like spring rain
Pure ******* runs in my blood
All I need is bros and bud

Goodbye Tonight, Goodbye Tonight
Can't imagine waking up at first light
It's a miracle I made it this far
I must be an ever burning star

I use up all I got left
Try to make do, try my best
It seems I'm a **** up unlike the rest

I lost that certain person I need
It was all just a joke to you
Faking what you went through

I wrote your name over and over
Till you curled up for the stay over
Holding you was worth the wait
Loving you cleans my slate

My efforts are hit or miss
Solid ground or a free fall to a dark abyss

Goodbye Tonight, Goodbye Tonight
Can't imagine I can make first light
Can't imagine how I got this far
No no, I must be an ever burning star

Satisfaction

Good grief what's that smell
Wreaks like you've been rotting in hell
Wanna explain why it's like that
And your mood changed at the drop of a hat

Tell me why
That all I do
Is make you cry
All I feel is love, for you

C'mon and run away
Leave me standing here today
Back up your words with action
And give yourself satisfaction

Do you have the guts and *****
To answer my texts and calls
A world with you is pain
A world without you is dark and covered in rain

C'mon and run away
Leave me standing here today
Back up your words with action
Run away and get your satisfaction

Too long it has been
I still remember where and when
You left me standing there
I don't understand but I deem it fair

You ran away and I want you back!
Is that to much to ask?
I need another chance another crack!
Before I drink from my friend the flash!

C'mon and run away
Leave me standing here today
Back up your words, with some action
And get yourself a little satisfaction

Sloot

Not gonna lie it's pretty sad
When you forget everything we had
I don't know if you'll ever be found
Which sends me straight to the ground

Don't keep wishing, hell upon me
When all you do is destroy me
It's too late for that
I'm more then just another stat

Your just a sloot
Who doesn't give a hoot
To you, I mean ****
Our hands, never fit

I shed my anger and rage
Decide to turn a new page
Hopefully our paths never cross
If it comes to words, I'm at a loss

Guys come and go with you
Always knowing what to do
Stick around so the can *******
Cause well..

Your just a sloot
Who doesn't give a hoot
To you I meant ****
Explains why our hands never fit

Breakdown

Looks like I'm losing it again
Mind in turmoil and chaos
Questioning the existence of love
Losing my mind in thoughts of up above

I keep dreaming
It keeps leaving

Wake up and see the world
Never gonna speak another word
Put life on the back thought
Leave it there to die and rot

I breakdown walls built around me
Breakdown walls so I can see
Can't you let me be happy
Skip the ******* don't be sassy

I seek refuge in paradise
Where I'll be alone all the time
So nobody can hear my cries
So nobody can read my new rhymes

I keep dreaming
You Keep leaving

Wake up and see the world
Never gonna speak another word
Put life on the back thought
Leave it there to die and rot

I may uncertain of a destination
But I'll leave without hesitation
Stormy pasts lit by bright futures
In search of someone who nurtures

You start dreaming
I start leaving

No More! (It's time!)

Woah! Woah! Woah!

I have been gone for some time
I can't put in words how much I've missed you
Never knowing whether I'd see you again
Was it worth the wait, I think so

Oh!

Gonna stop being on the outside
I'm done looking in
Now it's everyone else's turn to hide
Cause I'm a ******* ready to sin

If going to hell is what you wish
I'm more then happy to help
Cause we know it's where you belong
Forever to die and rot alone

Dreading the very second this here ends
Unsure of what to expect once we die
Flying above or sinking below
Either or I'm not ready, no not ready

My apologies for you missing out
Now that I'm back there is no need to pout

Gonna stop being on the outside
I'm done looking in
It's everyone else's turn to hide
Cause I'm a ******* ready to sin

No more! Being on the outside
No more! Looking in

It's time! For everyone to hide
It's time! To unleash me and let me sin

Gonna stop being on the outside
I'm done looking in
It's everyone else's turn to hide
Cause I'm a ******* and I'm ready to

Hilltop High

Go!

I got a rush and ain't ready to stop
Keep my body moving all night long
I see the top and I'm ready to go
I'm hilltop high and never going low

Escape from the hall of clean
It's time to breakout and wreak havoc
Upon the town till the morning sun
No cop no mom will ruin my fun

Veer away Veer Away
Nothing's gonna end today
Blur together my mind
Go and search, unsure of what you'll find

I got a rush and ain't ready to stop
Keep my body moving all night long
I see the top and I'm ready to go
I'm hilltop high and never going low

I was sent from the depths of hell
Here's the story I will tell
And stick by for all its time
This is my life, its all a crime

Ha,Ha,Ha,Ha

Ha,Ha,Ha,Ha

I'm a monster and your in too deep
The hill you wanna climb's to high and steep
You wanna catch up to me
Baby just wait and see

I got a rush and don't wanna stop
Keep my body moving all night long
I see the top and ready to go
I'm hilltop high and never going low

Stop!

Clean
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
Dark memories forged into my mind
There are many of my kind
So don't pretend I'm the only one
That lives under the sun

Can you think of a way to leave
Can you think of a way to believe

I try and try to get clean
Just to undo the undone
And spoil all your fun

I'm afraid I don't get what you mean
I just have dark memories that are black
I have no hope of ever getting them back

This life has me question the work of above
It has be doubting a thing called love
I am cold and dead inside
And I can no longer live in the dark and hide

I will come out to see the light
And no longer dwell at night

I try and try to get clean
Just to undo the undone
And spoil all our fun

I need to return to my queen
Tell her that I'm sober
Which is worse then being hungover

I cannot dwell on what was
Well just, just because
I have been home to long
Is having one drink oh so wrong

Seeing your face makes me stop and see
This is not who I want to be
Going away from the bar
Getting very very far

I try and try to get clean
Just to undo the undone
And spoil all your fun

Here I stand with a broken bottle
Living life at full throttle
Can't apply brakes its to late for that

Down the Road
Bret Desrochers Nov 2011
Seeing you for the first time
Brings back pain and sorrow
I can see now, I'll miss you tomorrow
Your name leaves my mouth sour like a lime

So maybe later on down the road
We can come together alone and cold
Hold each other for one last night
Leave each other after another stupid fight

I can feel your eyes burn as they hit my skin
No way in hell I will ever win
Good thing I decided on another lovely lady
This one's past at least isn't shady

Grasping the air as if its possible
Grasping your hand is the improbable
See me now!
Hear me now!

So maybe later on down the road
We can come together alone and cold
Hold each other for one last night
Then leave again after another stupid fight

There will always be that tunnel
Where its either you or beer funnel
Wonder which one I will choose
But with you I always lose

Free my mind from all you say
Glad that finally your gone today
Bring me back to the bright days

Glad that I could get you to listen
Now I walk away dancing and whistlen'
Never gonna veer from my chosen path

So maybe later on down the road
We can come together alone and cold
Hold each other for one last night
Then leave again after another stupid fight

Dark Days may lie ahead
But at least I won't be dead
If I am in your eyes
Just remember all you told was lies

It's good
It's all good
Down here in the pits
Down here in the pits of hell

Killing Me
Bret Desrochers Nov 2011
You wanna know how I feel
Well let me ask you this, how do I heal!
After you stick a knife through my chest
You said I was different then all the rest!

It's killing me, It's killing me
Knowing what you and I should be
Even though you and I can fight and argue
Just know that for you I am forever true

You want me clean and sober
Well I hope between you and him its over
You claim he taught you write and wrong
What you did is why I write this song

Kissing me was your mistake!
Holding you was my mistake!

Its killing me, Its killing me
Knowing what you and I should be
Even though you and I can fight and argue
For you I am forever true

Should I even ask why I should let you win
Cause knowing you, your gonna make me sin
I want us to work and move on
Hoping that this time it won' take long

Wanna know what takes me that high!
It's seeing your face everyday in the night sky!

Oh! I want this to end
Oh! I want this to be over
Can I just move on from the past
And try to make this **** last

It's Killing me, its killing me
Knowing what you and I should...be
