Untitled Lyrics Critique Rock

2 songs here. The first is kind of passive. When the chorus kicks in it kind of picks up. Then the last part really picks up. I don't know I guess I'm wondering if it flows and that it makes sense..

Second isn't done.. It's heavier but not screaming heavy. I need to know if it's got potential or if it's just a bunch of nonsensical drivel.

I still think that we were one in the same
We had our own way
We made the rules to our own little game
A game I still play
I remember every little thing
Every precious second I laid
By your side and felt it all fade away

But I failed to make the best of
All the time that we had left
Maybe you tried to explain
Maybe you tried to explain but all in vain
So consumed that I became
I became the man I am today
Too scared so I push away
Anything that matters to me

Well I guess you made it perfectly clear
It will always be you and me
A world apart and yet you still appear
To be all I really need
I think of you I think of all of those years
Without you I could not be
With every breathe I feel you drawing me near

Oh I failed to make the best of
All the time that we had left
Maybe you tried to explain
Maybe you tried to explain but all in vain
So consumed that I became
I became the man I?ve come to hate

Maybe you tried to explain
Maybe you tried to explain everything
If I had stayed would things have changed?

Would I have been able to stop you from trying?
Would I have been able to stop you from..?

I hated you for the longest time
Blamed you for everything
I could not bear to say goodbye
Because that would mean
That you were no longer here
You are no longer here

Halo

I rode the storm, let it wither out
Tilled the soil and braced the walls with grout
All in all, I don?t fear the consequence
Cuz when it feels like, there is something, a yearning,
Burning a hole deep in me

I swallow my pride as I break away
I?m left with the band of rose to comfort me
I?m biding my time while I try to find my way back from here

A wilted rose engraved in a halo
A halo adorned by a queen
Inside gleams the guide that has led me here
A glimmer bound by chain just to keep me sane
Oh I?ll do anything to keep this halo for me
And me alone, cuz I built her throne
When her kingdom was going to waste

I am the fucking consequence
Cuz when it feels like, there is something, a yearning,
Burning a hole deep in me

I swallow my pride as I break away
I?m left with the band of rose to comfort me
I?m biding my time while I try to find my way back from here

Hey Sloane...
by: Jake

I think your ideas are very organized, which is good, it's easy to understand the first song and what it's about, and also you have a good idea of how long songs should be, and there are many who don't. The second song is organized, but hard to understand, but both have potential. Your block here is the rhymes, they get overdone. You take a verse or chorus and rhyme the whole thing, which SOMETIMES can work, depending on how the song goes, but could become boring. Ask yourself if someone else would be happy listening to your songs, and doing nothing but that, the whole song through. If they seem to be getting bored, then you may want to take a look at WHY they became bored. Just be a bit more creative rhyming-wise, and your songs will become stellar, you have everything else!!!

No, that song isn't recorded yet, I might do a youtube video, though! If I do, I'll give you the link!

Sorry if it seems like I'm harsh!!!
