What’s the point in living. When you weren’t supposed to be alive? What’s the point in loving. When you couldn’t find the reasons why? Why do we live in vain? When we have to live alone. It’s our choices against the world And we’ll upset them as we go. You’re in your box of thoughts, Stuck wondering if they should know. The world is a flaw Stumbling from start to go.

Why?
I can take the criticism I can hear compliments But I can’t stand opinions Like I ever asked for them Sometimes it’s just that simple And I need to vent I swear I’ve changed Can you just accept it? The whole world falls apart, And it keeps on turning. When no one can stop it, I’m told I can’t be positive. But what’s the point in living If there’s no silver linings It’s that need for control The god **** thought of it I was living in vain I thought I could stop it Just stop. Don’t fight it. I abused the ones I love And justified it all. By the thoughts in my head. Control, I’ve none at all. I Tried to make things happen Like I could force it all Did anything matter? In the end it’s all gone. I just made a mess It grew bigger and bigger Couldn’t hold it together, it all fell apart. Did we mean the things we said? Did they come from the heart? My misconceptions of life Took me away from the light You’ll tell me I’m wrong When you can even start To be honest with yourself Or hold love in your heart Let’s be more accountable Really honest with each other Would it hurt that much To be open and vulnerable? I’ve no room for judgment Or to hurt another soul If we can’t love unconditional Accept this life and just let go Then we’re just fighting change When it’s obviously inevitable I think it does more damage When our emotions take control You wanna talk mental health But I think it might be physical Just listen, please trust me I can’t change the past Can’t take away the pain But I will be a better me I promise, I’ve changed.

If I could only hold this note So you could find your way back home Back to a place when you were young When love is all there ever was You stole a kiss, I can’t forget it The one that started this connection I swear it’s true but I don’t know I just hope you feel it too I don’t know what to do Sit here patiently for you I know that I can’t force change I wouldn’t dare it, all the same I just want to love you, as you are Only you Why do we make it difficult It’s only love, that’s it that’s all I hope you see your sisters face Light up on your wedding day So she can see the one I love How proud she is, you’re all grown up It doesn’t matter where we go It will follow, if you sow I’m just trying to trust this But my patience wearing thin

Only love
What if the doctrines were all wrong? Like god gave us pieces of a puzzle, and scattered them across the world. What if we’re supposed to get along. So we can piece them all together. In peace as one. What language is this? Who do I need to love? That voice inside says “There’s nothing to be scared of.” “It’s only love.”

Puzzle pieces
I want a beach house in the sand. Walk out my back door, coffee in hand. Down those stairs and onto the sand. Watch the morning sun Peak over the water Lapse the waves that splash my feet I can feel the sun in everything Energy and heat There’s something more to this place... Yeah... I want a beach house in the sand, That place was lovely.

Beach house
I’m taking hits from every direction And I can’t seem to stand on my feet, without you You’re a constant burden, and the source of my aggression I hate admitting I miss you I’m so sick and tired of you my dear Been steady running in circles but not this year I’m so set on finding some space to clear My head of all conversation I still hear I’m finally pulling myself from the wreckage Battered and bruised, there’s not much left to lose I’ve got places and directions to choose Stay the **** out of my life, I hate you Those beautiful, green eyes They wreak havoc, your disguise I’m a wrecking ball of hatred You can see it in my eyes A swift swinging hammer I’m just saying my goodbyes

See You Next Tuesday
I keep on hoping maybe one day You and I can push our differences aside Even in a perfect world You’ll never change I’m so sick and tired of living this way What do I have to do to make you understand, That I want nothing to do with you. You’re more than just a problem. You’re a nuisance and a thief. You stole my feet from under me. When I’m with you I let a piece of myself die Holding onto me, something’s just not right I’ve got cheap emotions and they’re bleeding through I wear them on my sleeve and it’s all for you Even in a perfect world You’ll never change There’s no sense for me to be living this way What do I have to do to make you understand, That I want nothing to do with you. You’re more than just a problem. You’re a nuisance and a thief. You ripped my heart right out of me When I’m with you I let a piece of myself die Holding onto me, something’s just not right

Tight Garbage
I caught myself reminiscing again I just don’t understand why things change from what we planned I made mistakes, I wear them well I’m just trying hard to prevail And I don’t have much confidence Left to take advice from all my friends And it seems so ******* useless See I always stray away in the end I’ve dug a hole too deep Find it hard to find release In these situations you complicate It’s these growing pains that I’ve grown to hate Now I lay alone on my bedroom floor Stare at an endless sky, there’s a light that never dies And a bottle in my hand that just seems to pass the time I’m just trying hard to survive I’ve become what I always feared And I miss what I once held dear I just don’t understand why things change from what we planned I caught myself reminiscing again

Growing Pains
Little plastic signs cover all the lawns Spend your money for the rich leaders cause Here to show your support For the ones looking for a job Here to take your money To argue all the opinions Like it even matters at all. “Another a**hole’s name” Broken promises, led astray Money claims everything Is there no room for love at all? Where’s the unconditional? Screaming and fighting Trusting all the lies. I won’t play that game. No room to control change. Live your life, Cause it’ll never be the same. Electors finding rage, they will hate But love will be the only way.
