Save You
Bret Desrochers Nov 2011
It seems that in a small slot of time
You commit another crime
If it means you have to restart
You run away, just to break my heart

I can't imagine what you do
But baby I just wanna save you
I'll rescue you from the darkest hole
From San Diego to Lowell all to protect your soul

You say sorry for what you did
Saying its time to stop the skid
Empty promises and empty eyes
Both filled with lies

If I wasn't here
Your fate is crystal clear
In a bottom of a ditch
Or with a guy who knows you as *****

I can't imagine what you do
But baby I just wanna save you
I'll rescue you from your one-way lane
From Seattle to Portland Maine

No need to be afraid
You'll never have to know what would happen
If I hadn't stayed
Count on me baby I'll help you through
let me save you
*let me save you

I don't remember much from that night
But I do know all we did was fight
I messed up an amazing dream
But its about time that I came clean

You used to make me smile
Now you just make me feel sick and vile
The earth fell on top of my heart
Good thing I know how to restart

Your anger fueled my pain
Clean you out like another stain
Walked away from a bomb sent from below
So much for taking this slow

Hey I never forget a date
Even if it I get filled with hate

I say sorry you say untrue
You can't believe me, *******
My words to you were the truest of things
Your the angel to me unleash your wings

The lights in your eyes may dim and fade
But they'll always stay the same shade
I will always exist in your mind
Trust me, for I am never kind

Your anger fueled my pain
Clean you out like another stain
Walked away from a bomb sent from below
So much for taking this slow

Hey I never forget a date
Even if it I get filled with hate

Go away and let me go!
Don't stay for all you say is no!
Can only push one person so far!
Don't ever again call me a liar!

Catastrophe
Bret Desrochers Nov 2011
Simple things aren't so simple after all
Though it was always me that answered the call
I was always there no matter what
Always knew when to hit restart

Falling for you was a catastrophe
Knowing we'd never work in reality
It blew up in my face
Clearly there wasn't enough space

So this girls got me feeling reckless
Not knowing what got me in this
I can see what we need to do
How to do it I haven't a clue

In between the lines we dwell
Not in our heaven not in our hell
Purgatory is a place not a noun
It isn't up nor is it down

Falling for you was a catastrophe
Knowing we'd never work in reality
It blew up in my face
Clearly there wasn't enough space

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

You claim you need some time
Just to commit the perfect crime
I beg to differ with your theory
It's obvious you aren't thinking clearly

Falling for you was an epic fail
Your heart was indeed stale
You needed a crutch to lean on
And a heart to stomp on

Well that just ***** to be me!
Please someone set me free!

Falling for you was a catastrophe
Knowing that we'd never work in reality
It blew up in my face
There just wasn't enough space

C'mon like Really?
Bret Desrochers Nov 2011
I can sense your words are filled with air
Don't you fake like you care
You should see what you've come to be
Just look in a mirror and see!

C'mon like really!?
Just let me speak my mind freely
You seemed to good, to cute
You abused and played me like a flute

No amount of time can ever heal!
How ****** you made me ******* feel!

In every way imaginable you ****
No break you never sit and chill
One little word can send waves through and through
Effecting everyone, including you to

Woah Woah Woah
C'mon like really?
Woah Woah Woah
Just speak your mind freely

You turn your head and free your mind
It seems the world to you, ain't so kind
Looks like this thing ain't a thing no more

You pick out of a crowd
Cover your heart with a shroud
It seems your out to settle a score

C'mon baby like really
You chose not to speak freely
You thought I'd just go away
No not today, no not today

Empty Hands
Bret Desrochers Nov 2011
Holding you felt so so right
This will become an unforgettable night
I don't believe in much of stuff above
But this is most certainly true love

I peer out into the empty land
Wishing you were here to fill my empty hands
Sometimes wishes don't come true
Still I will always pray for you

I'm here if there is an empty hole
In your heart or in your soul
Trust me, and I can set you free
I will never ask for sympathy

Walk across water
Burn to get hotter
Drink to quench a thirst
*******, wouldn't be my first

I can longer live without you
No matter what I have to do
You are the only one I will ever choose

We live a lifestyle lived by few
Only belonging to the true
Perched high never meant to lose
Copyright; Bret Desrochers
Bret Desrochers Nov 2011
It seems that I can finally agree
About what everyone has said, involving you and me
Let's not slow down at all
I'll hold you tight when it all starts to fall

Hey baby, lets get out of here
Hey baby, tonight we can finally disappear

My heart skips a beat all the time
Thinking of you, I can hardly rhyme
I breath out carbon breath in air
Losing you was an awful scare

This town holds us back like a rope
Sending us into a downward *****
Wanting us to never leave
Never letting us wear our hearts on our sleave

Hey baby, lets get out of here
Hey baby, tonight we can finally disappear

Ooo Ooo Ooo

I wanna leave with you tonight!
I wanna escape with you tonight!

Keep Them at Bay
Bret Desrochers Oct 2011
Cross another of the list
Of things I've ****** up
Still wonder if I can ever stop
Seems I'm always just to ******

Try my best to keep them at bay
Try to push them farther away
Seems I gotta start to practice what I preach
Just so I can keep my demons out of reach

Seems it wasn't to long ago
That I had it all, in the palm of my hand
'Till all the ******* reach a point
A point at which I could no longer stand

The so called "higher power" can't keep them at bay
Not today, no not today
Time to Move!

As the darkness pulls me to its hole
Swallows me up and spits me out
Except now I live without a soul

Seems like I couldn't keep them at bay
Please just listen to what I have to say
To what I have to preach
Seems like I'm within their reach

Go away and stay there
I can't handle another scare
Hit bottom, real low
Should I take it slow?

Just to keep my demons away
To keep them, keep them at bay

Not Enough Space (For Us)
Bret Desrochers Oct 2011
Can't catch a break coming my way
Seems I'm having an awful ******* day
Ain't afraid to speak my mind
Straight to your face
(*******!) Give me my space

Blinded by anger and rage
Giving the war an epic stage
What'd I say about crossing me for a second time
Or a third or a fourth, your not forgiven no not this time

I'm aching from head to toe
This drug's brought me to a new low
Don't fuss cause I wanna be alone
Sit in the dark and get ******

Can't catch a break coming my way
Seems I'm having an awful ******* day
Ain't afraid to speak my mind
Straight to your face
(*******!) Give me my space

If it's one thought that'' last forever
It'll be watching you break into tears
Walking a way took a lot
Staying away took even more

Greatest decision I've made
If I only I had stayed
Not come back and see what I see
Knowing **** well that should be, me

Sister (s)
Bret Desrochers Oct 2011
Now this song will sound lame
But without you I wouldn't be the same
I'd be a long lost brother
With no escape from an evil mother

You help me with right and wrong
So I wrote you a thank you song

I know for me you'd walk through hell
Only one there when it all fell
We may not always see eye to eye
But your shoulders always there when I break down and cry

Sisters like you are to few
Some **** no one knows but you
Ry and Maritz will **** me if I don't include them to
Always filled with hugs, you'd be lost without those two

Now this song will sound lame
But without you I wouldn't be the same
I'd be a long lost brother
With no escape from an evil mother

You help me with right and wrong
So I wrote you a thank you song

Nobody will ever understand us
So a ******* to them, don't make a fuss
From Uno, War, and Rocket Power
To fighting for the first shower

You wear your heart on your sleave
Makes me glad to know you ain't ever gonna leave

Ooo Ooo Ooo

You help me with right and wrong
So for you, this is a thank you song

Ooo Ooo Ooo

Let It Out
Bret Desrochers Oct 2011
Go ahead and let it out
Go ahead and let it out

You use your heart not for me
You save your anger and direct it at me
I thought we had gone beyond this place
So scream and no longer save face

This world is full of hate and pain
Tears around the world fall like rain
Sometimes I wonder if I'm better off alone
Who will care for you if I am gone?

So go ahead and scream
Always remember there's no I in team
Don't push me too far
Don't open a wound that'll heal but scar

I apologize for what remains in the past
If it's any comfort I think we can make this last
Your the light in these dark times
Baby please forgive me of my crimes

Only you and I can feel
Only you and I can heal
There is a place where we can go
I just need to know

Go ahead and let it out
Go ahead and let it out

So go ahead and scream
Always remember there is no I in team
Don't push me too far
Don't open a wound that'll heal but scar.

We No Longer...
Bret Desrochers Oct 2011
I was wondering, will it be alright
If you and I could sleep tonight
Side by Side
We no longer have to hide

We can come out and say
That we no longer can keep our love at bay
Your smile lights up my world
As feelings and fear swirled

We no longer will remain unknown
We no longer can compete with whats grown
What happened to our curiosity?
As you run into my arms, at extreme velocity

I could hold you all night, maybe even forever
This bond, nobody can sever
Girl your a page in my book of love
Next to beautiful and an ever lasting dove

Thinking remains an unbeatable task around you
Can you just one more time take me through
On how you were able to love me
Baby just one more time pretty please

We no longer will remain unknown
We no longer can compete with whats grown
What happened to our curiosity?
As you run into my arms, at extreme velocity

Realm
Bret Desrochers Oct 2011
I enter a world of the unknown
A place where feelings can't be told or shown
It seems everything is black and white
Can't see a thing, there is no light

It's all a realm of uncertainty and blame
Where everyone goes by the same name
Guilt.
Where it weighs so heavy it could tilt the world

Nobody counts, as days go by
No one stops, and says hi
A world so cold, full of hate and pain
Constant cloud, never to rain

Even if you wanted, you could never step out of line
Running away always seems so far away
Keep walking never able to rest or lay
Wishing I never lied about being fine

It's all a realm of uncertainty and blame
Where everyone goes by the same name
Guilt.
Where it weighs so heavy it could tilt the world

My life turned out to be so ******
Still regret not running away to New York City
I could be in a fancy new place
Not living at a turtle's pace

I wish I could fine a door
Leading to anywhere but here
If you listen closely you can tell
That this I'm by myself, my own personal hell.

Ten Years Ago
Bret Desrochers Oct 2011
One day in September would change everything
Inspired some to fight and some to sing
There was time to grieve and time to hurt
To the world this was just the start

For ten years ago we thought we'd lost it all
For hours ago two buildings had stool so tall
Killed me to sit and watch them fall
I swear to God we'll come back stronger
Can't take sitting around no longer

I can still hear the screams 'till this very day
Being awake no longer keeps the nightmares at bay
That one day we stood as one
And prayed together under the fall sun

For every time I look up towards the sky
And remember the angst and pain
I fight back tears, trying not to cry
My efforts are worthless, and tears our like rain

For ten years ago we thought we'd lost it all
For hours ago two buildings had stood so tall
Killed me to sit and watch them fall
I swear to God we will come back stronger
Can't take sitting around no longer

Oh ten years ago we all sat and watched
Oh ten years ago we all sat and watched
As symbols of power and hope tumbled to the ground
You could feel the heart of America all around

Fake
Bret Desrochers Oct 2011
You act like someone you want to be
And refuse to just set me free
Cry all you may and scream as you please
No longer will I fall for your silly tease

Your a fake ******* don't deny
Acting like what you do will end up with you in the sky
Your fate is deserved and long overdue
Don't care a bit and I sure as hell know why

You lie through your teeth every day
Not giving a **** for what other people have to say
Bring on the onslaught of what you ignored all this time
Deserving of being put away for your inhumane crime!

You always acted and faked
Freaking out when I got baked
Telling me to leave my friends and all the **** I know
***** that's a new low

Your a fake ******* don't deny
Acting like what you do will put you in the sky
Your fate is long overdue
Don't care a bit and I sure as hell know why

Everything suddenly becomes as clear as air
Looks don't ****, its rude to stare
I see right through what you pretend to be
So I just decide to set myself free

Off - Track (Re-Write)
Bret Desrochers May 2011
Woke up today with something to prove
decided to lay it all on the line
and boy was that line fine
a little liquid courage and I was off

Testing the waters of how far I could go
got the green light and It started to flow
the plan was starting
while my heart was stopping.

Words came out that had never before
started by saying I'd come back
to settle an uneven score
to throw your life off track

Ha ha ha yaaa

Time was always on my side
this could have been stopped a long time ago
but of course of course you lied
now I begin my never-ending throw.

Words came out that had never before
started by saying I'd come back
to settle an uneven score
to throw your life off track

Ha ha ha ya

(guitar solo)

How do you feel now?
like a top notch ***** I hope
never thought I'd stoop this low
till one day you came a long

Ha ha ha no

Words came out like never before
started by saying I'd come back
to settle an uneven score
to throw your perfect life way off track

Words came out then went back in
realized I would always win
I could not be stopped
I was superior in every way
to you the one who never thought you'd have to pay.

How's that working for ya

Ha ha ha ha ya

All the Way
Bret Desrochers May 2011
I* shall never forget

Where you came from
All the Way back
Never will I let you go
Together is where we belong

Under the night sky we lay
Stars shining oh so bright

This is what I need
On this night, here with you

Be careful my mind said
Even though my heart disagreed

Forget the past
Only remember the future
Real is finally what we are
Even all the **** we went through
Vividly play in my mind
Everything got us here
Remember forever that I love you

Anthem
Bret Desrochers May 2011
We always knew we’d never reach individuality and if we did we’d be outlawed
Because we’re always categorized
And there is no end to what we start
We think that if we ever stopped seeking out what it is that keeps us growing
Then we’ll never stop working for peace.
Were always searching, this path is not easy to walk upon.
Were always seeking knowing that were eager to change
Were searching, seeking, reaching for something more.
I had to do a project for English in which we rewrite the words to a song for the book Anthem By Ayn Rand. I chose to rewrite Searching, Seeking, Reaching,  Always by We Came As Romans.

I got an A. I hope you enjoy.

Enough is Enough
Bret Desrochers May 2011
Verse 1

As if it wasn't enough
You had to act all tough
You make me spit fire
As you become a better liar

Chorus

It made it all go away
As you were here to stay
The things it made
As our love began to fade

Verse 2

You claimed to be a rebound
Attacked me like a hell hound
I kept on bleeding
You started heeding

Bridge

It was the price I had to pay
For I'd do anything to see you stay

Verse 3

People say we won't make it
But who in Hell gives a ****
Hold me one last time
Dear you are my worst Crime

Fire
Bret Desrochers May 2011
Now go!

Clear the way, they are here
****** Red, thirsty for tears
Burn it to the ground!
With everything inside!

The angels and demons have arrived
setting in motion all the lies
bringing what we know to the earth

Light it up!
Set it down!
I hope you all ******* drown!

One after the other
falling and imploding!
Now they run!
Spoiling all our fun

Now we question the authority
of our so called saviors!
Are they wrong?

Even after they all went away
still on the fire raged!
Where will go now?

Ache in our bones
elements we cant control!
For it all ends
in due time!
This is more of a song then anything I wrote in song format and incorporated into a poem. Also ! means that that particular line is screamed.

It was all a game
Didn't matter did it?
Bout fortune or fame
your tricks and your lies didn't fit
no matter how hard i tried
for it was all to late
my beating heart was fried
for that these words are pure hate

out the door you went
babe the time wasn't well spent
i'll never get it back
**** you did was ******* wack
how do i rebuild my life
without you, my love, my wife
people say life will go one
but i met you then life was gone

not for anything or anyone
will i stoop so low
oh so glad i said i was done
so now here i go
for something or someone new
is what i strive toward
people like me come to few

Don't buy me a drink
I'll be dead in a wink
I shot it, dropped it, smoked it
I saw what I did
So up and quit it
I capped that chapter of my life with a lid
Later on Here I stand
Brothers Sisters hand in hand

Boy am I glad for this change
Guess I just wasn't outta God's range
I am a brand new me
Done calling me and you we
In and outta hell i went
Here on forth my time'll be well spent

Death by the Touch
Bret Desrochers Jan 2011
Go!!

I try to forget too many things
Think I can fly but I have no wings
It was a time of uncertainty
So I begged for a guilty plea

Thought I'd get the bare minimum
Maybe just pay some hefty sum
But no, got both sum and cell time
I can do the time, can't pay a dime

It was something I shouldn't have touched
So mad so rushed
Who knew I could cause a death
I didnt up until your last breath

Of  ones cold warm skin
My only issue was I didn't win

A fresh start would be useful
More like very needed to me
So God just please set me free
These past months have been awful

So let's break away from each others grasp
Start a future forget the the past
Leave it all behind
Maybe now I can start to unwind

It was something I shouldn't have touched
So mad so rushed
Who knew I could cause a death
I didn't up till your last breath

Of ones cold warm skin
My only issue was I didn't win

I step out a brand new man
If I wanted, I could have ran
Outside seems different
But right now that's all irrelevent

I visit your tombstone
I'm sorry I left you all alone
I'm sorry I took your life
I know if you were here now, you'd be my wife

I ask was it to much?
A regular death, a death by the touch
Of me.

Bret Desrochers Jan 2011
I only remember being hurt
Can't recall what it was worth
Could something have happened?
That made you disappear

Turn around and come back
Your love is what I lack
Making sense of what is left
You stole my heart, you ******* theft

Someone mentioned you to me
It reminded me of when it was we
So I'm wondering if you are fine
Wishing our lives were still entwine

I coped with it every day
Each time a different way
Think of a feeling, I felt it
Each one making me feel like ****

I should have gotten over you
Still longing to hear you say I love you to
I couldn't shake that empty feeling
For your forgiveness, I'm ever waiting

Someone mentioned you to me
It reminded me of when it was we
So I'm wondering, if you are fine
Wishing our lives were still entwine

You. will do it forever, no matter what it is.

Only. someone can change you.
Only. i've decided to give up.

I'm. sorry if nobody else will.
I'm. not really in a position to care.

Your. love is what i crave for.
Your. love is what i do not need.

I. turn to walk away.
I. reluctantly don't.

Chances. are few and far between.
Chances. are what you have run out of.

So. tell me why do this.
So. tell me why i love you.

Evil Is.....
Bret Desrochers Nov 2010
Red blood seeping down the walls and pooling all over the pearl white floor.  

Finally unleashing a scream boiled inside, which pierces the air with an unmatched fury.

A menacing growl with every rev of its engine, an Audi R8 proves to be an evil on the road.

A fish has a slight taste of salt and cyanide, the poison killing millions without a look from the government.

Avenged Sevenfold’s Nightmare album, proving that even the happiest moment in your life. Can be a nightmare.

Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark Maquire, diminishing baseball’s glory with steroids.

The turmoil surrounding the government of Somalia and the pirates corrupting the country each and every day.

The unbearable scent of sulfur, burning the nostrils of your nose with every intake of air.

The lighting strike and the thunder crack.

Hell.

Gone
Bret Desrochers Oct 2010
Whisked away by air
Have you heard the term unfair
Even hell can recognize it
Remember the way you were
Except when you turned into her

All those who know
Remind me to lay low
Electrified by my anger

Yelled at by a so called God
Over and over again
U*ntil I reach the boiling the point

Gone is where I am
Gone is where i go

Excuse me for the interruption

Your lies describe disruption

Mistakes happen for a reason

My love for you is high treason

Nobody knows that us was we

Baby my dream was you and me

My biggest mistake was loving you

All that ******* you put me through

Please just go the **** away

Can't bear the pain to see you stay

Moonlight.
Bret Desrochers Aug 2010
here we sit in the moonlight
Pondering our last fight
Why is pain so hard
My heart needs a bodyguard

Your words hit home
As you ran away to Rome
It was over in seconds
To you my heart beckons

I thought it was all over
‘till she made me play red rover
I was up for repossession
Then I fought them with discretion

Everything started to go
I will never forget you though
She started the healing
Love I begun feeling

Is it wrong to feel love again
Your heart I must obtain

We sit here in the moonlight
Knowing we wont fight
She made me so happy
An Irishman woulda been ‘well done laddy’

So I thank you  for the pain
The sky cleared up after the rain
As if it was telling me
Letting you go was the greatest thing

Lay down next to me
Baby I’ll set you free
Promises don’t mean a thing
I want more then a fling

If I could unlock your heart
But holding one anothers a start
Your voice drowns out the demons
Unexplainable are my feelings

Without me you cry
Without you I die.
You pull me from a fragile state
Why can’t this be our fate

Your eyes are candles in the dark
Our kiss was more then a spark
We can make this last
Baby just put some faith in me
Unknown Title, any ideas?
