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 ******* 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.

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.”

I was the firecracker, you were the flame.
My fuse was too short, I projected my pain. You might have burned me but the pieces still sting.
I left all of myself in smoke and debris.
Scattered among my goals and dreams.
Thought I was a man, the kind who stood up for what he believes.

That little boy inside,
he wouldn’t let me climb
out from the fountain.
Youthfulness proved useless,
said you heard it all before.
“Sorry doesn’t mean a thing to me, if you can’t change anything”

Stepped away from the damage.
Couldn’t bear to watch,
the man stripped away from the boy inside.
Sometimes the worst parts in life,
are the best in hindsight.

I’ve spent so many years by your side
Can’t take back this feeling and I wonder why
You pushed me aside, left me to rot in my own mind

I taste turmoil on cold lips and feel the pain
As she loosens the grip on my wrists
I’ve come to find that I don’t have a stable mind
You leave me feeling so worthless all the time

Everything changes and everyone grows
But no one ever really lets go
Remember me, keep me in frame
Don’t let me fade away
I’ll always wait

Do I even exist anymore?
Am I dust on the shelf that you choose to ignore?
Do I even exist anymore?

Life don’t feel the same
Without my twin flame
All the negative traits that we create
Molded into love, or what we thought was fate
We found ourselves in one another
A desperate plea to help each other  
Look in the mirror and tell me what you see
My twin flame
She’s just like me

Sometimes
I think I hear you calling me
Begging for help
To tell you it will be okay
I’m not too far, but I have to stay away
I can help you still; trust me
I wish you could feel
Where I’ve been these days
I had to leave you, I had to change
I found peace and it’s been strange
Without my twin flame
Just show me you’ve changed

An eye for an eye
And now we’re both blind
If birds of a feather flock together
Where does that leave you and I?
The liar and the cheat
Committed to deceit
I drank the poison
How the hell can I trust me?

My twin flame
she’s just like me.
