So close to giving up, 
can't help but wonder why. 
On the verge of letting go, 
I'm so empty deep inside. 
And I am all alone, 
no one hears me screaming. 
So far away from home, 
and I am frozen through. 

Yesterday is gone, 
tomorrow seems too empty. 
Time keeps passing by, 
passing me too quickly. 
Afraid of what I feel, 
afraid of moving forward. 
I turn towards the sky, 
and watch as it tumbles downward. 

All my life to live, 
the reasons all escape me. 
Lie surrounding lies, 
all I know is misery. 

So close to giving up, 
can't help but wonder why. 
On the verge of letting go, 
I'm so empty deep inside. 
And I am all alone, 
no one hears me screaming. 
So far away from home, 
and I am frozen through. 

I feel I'm shutting down, 
outlook growing cold. 
My senses burning out 
and finally I go numb. 
Afraid of what I feel, 
afraid of moving forward. 
The heartache and the pain 
will bleed me dry again. 

"Frozen" from Joshua Hart's "Regret" album.

So close to giving up, 
can't help but wonder why. 
On the verge of letting go, 
I'm so empty deep inside. 
And I am all alone, 
no one hears me screaming. 
So far away from home, 
and I am frozen through

Joshua Hart - Frozen

Just time for one last thought now
one to cherish for eternity
I just think of how I'll miss you
I think of how I miss you
Just time for one last thought now
one to cherish for eternity
I just think of how I'll miss you
I think of how I miss you
In the second that it took for
the glass to fall from my hand
I didn't see all I've done
but rather all I planned
In shards I lie on the floor
overcome helpless convulsing
my eyes close depsite my
strength and the picture fades
Broken vocal chords strain now
but alas don't make a sound
tight fists my fingers clenched and
I feel my lungs cave in
these final rasping words
take from me the last of my breath
know I put up a good fight
not for me but those loved in my life
Since I couldn't make amends
I resolve to try again
if we meet in another world and
you give me one more chance
If not I know your reasons
you let your sympathy for me fade
So I understand and ask last
Don't make the same mistakes I've made
A calming silence seeps in
into and blankets my mind
Feeling raw panic begin
knowing I'm out of time


Joshua Hart - Seizure

I've tried to be realistic 
in my faithful portrayal of flaws, 
but when I write these words 
I confuse correlation and cause. 
Continued misunderstanding 
of why it is I'm found so lost, 
and I still can't provide answers 
as to why it is nothing is solved. 

Devout in this oath, 
unmoving I will remain, 
to find me once more 
beside you again someday. 

I'm left embracing a prayer 
for another chance on the other side. 
All I have reduced to this, 
one last loose end to tie. 
Pondering what I could have said 
had I been given just one more day. 
Was there a way to avoid 
being left behind in my shame. 

Devout in this oath, 
unmoving I will remain, 
to find me once more 
beside you again someday. 

I fear my good resolutions 
have all come years too late. 
Where has everyone else gone, 
surely I'm not the one to blame. 
Eyes closed on the edge, 
with no where left to hide. 
And so I remain 
here devout in denial. 

Devout in this oath, 
unmoving I will remain, 
to find me once more 
beside you again someday.

Joshua Hart - Devout (Acapella)

In a world parallel to these 
confessions that I've reached 
where all outcomes conceived 
It heals me to think 
There's still a chance for me 
though in realm that I cant be 
I still hold a place 
somewhere out there in your dreams 

I see the similarities 
in your face and in your eyes 
It brings back all we've seen 
and it leaves me weak inside 
I feel a sense of shame 
for still carrying this with me 
But it warms my heart 
to think that it could've been me 

For so long it's been my goal 
to rebuild our bridge of souls 
To find something that may 
restore your faith in me 
I want you to believe 
all I'd sacrifice to see 
I wish to finally bring 
this nightmare to it's knees 

What seems a lifetime ago 
In a healing process gone awry 
I see the words you wrote 
to me once upon a time 
I just can't bare to see 
so I turn my eyes from the screen 
Your and I's circumstance 
bare's too much similarity

Joshua Hart - Similarities of Sloan

This is the only way 
for me to let you know 
all that you mean to me 
how far I'm willing to go 
Here's unbound honesty 
of my lost composure 
with these words I give 
I offer you full disclosure 

Here's all I couldn't say 
when we were face to face 
you were the world to me 
thank you for your being 

I've only ever sought 
just wanted one thing 
to give next to you 
your touch of healing 
Unknowing of sacrifice 
From all those around me 
Innocent in the wrath 
Of an infamous destiny 

Finally my life is full 
you can let me go 
Because in the end 
I know that I was loved 
Indifference conquered me 
for the world I'd seen 
everyone else left aside 
All beneath my selfish deeds 

Is there not a cure 
some way to the truth 
to believe you are worth 
all the words I promised you

Joshua Hart - Full Disclosure

You see the cancerous part of me now 
manifested for all to see how 
High my ego had climbed up to 
just fall down and crash into you 

It hurts to breath the words I have to move on 
I'm still searching for another way out 
I dont want think of tomorrow 
I have to find a new escape route 

A place where I can re-find my 
origin of self and peace of mind 
That someday you will see me and 
view through the past that I've surpassed being 

Guilty of romanticizing the past 
trouble with finding a new path 
I don't see any of this changing 
but there's still hope for what the future see's 

There are things that will always be beyond me 
I've held on to the thought of you forgiving 
like a reward ill never be grasping 
I'm powerless to the impending defeat

Joshua Hart - Every Day

Joshua Hart's piano and bass remix of Ukranian electro band Ginger Snap5's "Ginger Girl".  

Ginger Girl (Joshua Hart's Guilty Remix)

Normally I prefer to produce all of my own instrumentals, but Inari Alchemist (<a href="http://inarialchemist.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://inarialchemist.bandcamp.com</a>/) put together this awesome cross-genre track and when I heard it the lyrics instantly came about in my mind.  I contacted him about collaborating and this mix was the end result.  Lyrics Below.

The sun is fading out
and you've not returned to me
So I take the hope inside
and with care let it freeze
You will always be here
to bring me inner peace
Knowing I gave all I had
to what I thought was meant to be

I'll find my way through
the ice cold ahead of me
Beneath the surface lies
the reunion that I seek
Two hearts preserved in ice
two minds one destiny
One love for all time
you're the one meant for me

I can't wash my hands
of all we've been through
No matter how I run
the cold binds me to you
Outside I exhale
until my lips go numb
I see you in the air
and know you're still there



Cold Sun (Joshua Hart Vox Mix)

My fish, Paxton, died today so I decided to do a rendition of Chopin's "Funeral March" to see him off into the next world.  R.I.P. little man.

Joshua Hart - Paxton (Funeral March)

I stand behind you still
just steps away so 
you can reach your hand out 
to hold on to me
I stand behind you still
just steps away so 
you can reach your hand out 
to hold on to me
I swear that it wont end like this

Joshua Hart - Hold On

Starting again with a choice to accept
moving on without the thought of regret
tried so hard to fit all the peices
but it's falling apart and we're not the reason
Wish I could just fade away
So I could come back to you when it's time to stay
but for now the world is just so lonely
without your smile left to console me now

I know I'm not perfect 
but you made me the best I've been
my only hope is that all the pain inside 
will run so far away from you
My life has not been the same
without your smile to take away my fears

I lie awake at night
wishing your body was next to mine
and when you find your solace, peace of mind
simply remember the one you left behind

Your not alone but you don't even know it
I know it's hard but just smile a little bit
I know you're scared cus' I am too
but we have to be stronger than what is killing you
The choices you've made are the hardest in life
But I know you well and I'm sure you did what's right 
The one's you lost are all still with you
Memories of them will always see things through

I know there's a long way to go 
until we're far from pain
but if we stand together
I will shoulder all the blame
If you let down your guard
and let me in to see your heart
we can heal what was scarred
and the happiness will finally start
