I’m broken, I’m broken, I’m broken…
      I’m broken on the inside, as tears cascade, staining my face,
Tears that fall for nearly an hour,
      Tears without a cause.

I’m broken, I’m broken, I’m broken…
      Pills don’t really help, they just make it worse on the inside,
False smiles and guided thoughts,
      That’s all they lead to.

I’m cracking, I’m cracking, I’m finally cracking,
      I’m finally cracking on the inside, cracking like the mirror that’s cutting my feet,
I sway once, I sway twice, I’ve fallen ages before,
      I’m stuck here, sitting on the floor.

I’m frozen, I’m frozen, I’m frozen…
      I’m frozen here in time, at the end of peace, watching perfection slip away,
Sitting on the shore, watching the lies wash over me,
      Its hard for me to see what’s really real here.

I’m frozen, I’m frozen, I’m frozen…
      My dreams stand still, lined with the pageant stench of dried blood,
I light the match to relive the stench, hoping sulfur will cleanse the air,
      Then I shed a tear as my dreams burn to the ground.

I’m broken, I’m broken, I’m broken…
      I’m broken on the inside, hearts went black ages ago,
I’m slipping farther away from ‘the real’,
      Please hold me and tell me you love me…
      … tell me it will all be okay…
      … you chase it all away.

This is really great! It's got a good structure, your other ones aren't nearly as structured but still good.
