The self-titled intro track to keshi’s third EP describes a struggling relationship with a girl that causes him to seek the reaper, a symbol of death. Even though the relationship is toxic, he is unable to leave and continues to be in pain.
[Intro]
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(keshi)
[Chorus]
I'm fallin' in deeper
She’s callin' my keeper
I wanted the reaper
Will end it, just let me go
No
But something brings me back to you
[Verse]
She wouldn't tell me why
It's time to say goodbye
What did you do, what did you do?
Baby, just tell me lies
We runnin' out of time (Yuh)
Say that she can't decide (No)
It's up to you, it's up to you
We gonna live or die?
Lay me to rest in peace, yuh
Don't want your honesty, yuh
I wanna see you when
You're lying right here next to me
[Pre-Chorus]
She don't want me, but I burn inside
She don't wanna keep this heart of mine
She don't wanna leave just one time
But when I fall asleep, give me cyanide
[Chorus]
I'm fallin' in deeper
She’s callin' my keeper
I wanted the reaper
Will end it, just let me go
No
But something brings me back to you
[Bridge]
Love me, let me know
Stay or should I go?
Know that she was never mine to hold
Reaping what I sow
Taking what I owe
When she come to take another soul
[Chorus]
I'm fallin' in deeper
She’s callin' my keeper
I wanted the reaper
Will end it, just let me go
No
But something brings me back to you
I'm fallin' in deeper
She’s callin' my keeper
I wanted the reaper
Will end it, just let me go
No
But something brings me back to you

“The Reaper” explores an interesting sort of theme: it’s about unrequited love.
