Off the RIP I played right into your hands

Not knowing a thing about what this love could possibly reel in

I’ve turned into a whole mental patient

My mind hurts along with my chest

Gained weight and never seem to get any rest

Yet I love, and I love extremely hard

Have you ever felt pain before?

Internally it almost feels like an eternity.

Twos souls bound together with LOVE

Off the RIP I fell flat on my face

From the never-ending blows to my heart

Worst a death by a thousand cuts

Smaller than a mouses thoughts

But it fed on me

It ate away at the Love that had left

Off the RIP I came to know you as the Love I wanted to get AWAY from

As we rebrand ourselves in this new week. We try to remember why we chose this UNIQUE bond

Its holding on to my very breath at this point

Days can get better or worse in this land AND

Off the RIP I’d still choose you in the END
