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

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

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!

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

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.

Satisfaction
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
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

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

Breakdown
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
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

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

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

Hilltop High
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
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!

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

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

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

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.

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

Change - Draft 2
Bret Desrochers May 2011
Revised.


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

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!

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

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

Sin!

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

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!

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.

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

Shit Happens

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

(*******!) 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

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

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.

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!
It's clear as day....

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

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.

Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
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

Sloot
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
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

Ooo Ooo Ooo

Just another ******* sloot

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

Destination Unknown

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So pack up and leave this town

If the rest of us don't stand a chance

To clean and fix this ******* mess

For some mistake, made another day
I will never throw it away, throw it away

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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
