In this life or the next

Imagine splitting the self in two and one is younger
Misguided and alone, corrupted by the hunger
When every fucking mirror is a reflection of that kid
You simply fail to understand all of the things he did

But now the younger self is dead, what can you do about it
The lonely wolf can hunt alone, he must be real about it
The hunger is unbearable, you just can't stand the pain
You truly get frustrated when you observe in vain

You start recounting all the stuff that once had made you suffer
You try to cry, you simply can't, you break down into laughter
Try to extract the wisdom but there's no self to split
Tranquility of mind can handle one more hit

It's crazy how the world can stop in the arms of a woman
It is the nature of affection the one that makes you human
But what is worm and gentle just like the braking of a down
Can burn you down to ashes once the illusion's gone

It's not the pain that puts you down, it is the misconception
It's when you tell her that you're weak and you expect affection
You let her see into your heart, you let her see the torment
And everything that you once felt, sadly came to an end

She simply failed to realize she met you in transition
She had to wait just for a bit, that was your one condition
She had to let you elevate, cuz when you climbed above
You could be free from all the pain, you could have given love

You try to fight it but you can't, it was your only mission
To be the man that she deserves, under the same condition
You failed to kiss, to hold, to fuck, you failed to take the lead
You failed to treat her like a man, she saw you as a kid

But you're no kid, that boy is dead, you have no time for games
Your bed was once so fucking full, even forgot their names
You were the man for every bitch, you did that shit before
And when you met the one you love, you just couldn't no more

She wanted out you stayed inside
She wants to play you want to hide
She asked for decent things, she asked to be her man
You failed to do a simple task, there's no wonder she ran

Back to that man cuz deep inside, she beares an ugly scar
A bleeding wound she has to heal, you only came so far
Cuz when you couldn't fill her needs, you failed to heal that wound
She felt the pain, looked for some help, and you lost her for good

The more you fall, the more you give
You feel complete once you receive
The same amount of love, the same form of affection
You lived your life alone, now you felt a connection

Try to imagine how it feels when now all of a sudden
The universe just flipped the page and you became another
All that you know all that you are, it's linked to that connection
But all the love was given sadly in one direction

That s when you have to calm your mind, you have to get the grip
Tranquility of mind is like a leaking ship
It docks or sadly sinks, but you know what they say
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
