Fit for hell; saved by grace

Does it really matter Whose fault it was What’s been done Can’t be undone Anyways

The catalyst

I know you... Still

I know That you still feel The same as I do I know That it can only
Can you?

Can you Unravel the lies You tell yourself To make it through Your uneasy

Cautionary tale

Blessed to see Even momentarily To touch The greatest of heights reached by two people of one mind
