All the love in the world couldn't save me
As the innocence fades away
Here's my guilty plea
For all the words I never meant to say
I fought so hard to get you to stay
To change your mind 
That night in the airport diner cafe
It still hurts to see you
After all that we loved was left behind
You know that I only wanted to be with you
Now, there's a hell that I can't describe
What I thought was beautiful
Is even more beautiful today

So, now, I wander through my day
No more pretending that this isn't real
I'm just trying to find a better way
To hide the feelings that I feel
That I saved for you and no one else
And though it's been a long road
Your love was once a place that I called home
I know that it was love
Cause, I think about you when I'm alone
What I thought was beautiful
Is even more beautiful today

I don't know just what to do
You know that I wouldn't want it any other way
Everywhere I go, everything I do, I see you
I just want you to come home and this time stay
What you meant to me
Is more than anyone would ever believe
When I think about you now
The sparks fly
The eyes cry
This much I know is true
What I thought was beautiful
Is even more beautiful today

Where love once built a home
Is now the rock that I stand upon
Now, my heart is free to roam
Today, I'm forever gone
For it was a fatal love syndrome
It's a dawning of a new dawn
What I thought was beautiful
Is even more beautiful today

Hate will not spawn our fate

By Jessie Doyle

There was a time I think when the world ran much more peacefully and there weren't wars or violence and material things didn't matter and everything wasn't a competition to see who was better than one another, a time where people helped one another without asking for it that's just what they did because they genuinely felt love and compassion and unity amongst each other, but then something happened along the way that poisoned our hearts and our souls and what was once love, mutated into hate and angst and the urge to destroy one another just to satisfy thier own needs and somehow maybe one day through a miracle we can get back to getting along and living peacefully and happily with each other.

I Write About You Sometimes

By Corrina Adams

This was made for someone who I’ve been trying to forget about when I write music but instead I always end up writing about this person and never realize it until it’s finished.

Life Restrainer

By Matt Cain

This is about the depression and anxiety I've dealt with throughout my life. It feels as if it restrains me from doing things I know I should be able to do.
