I tried to weigh it all down -- reasons why I find it so hard to let you go. Reasons that delay me from setting you free when obviously, we are only here to break each other's heart. 

You're all set to leave, but I'm not. You know you have the option to leave at any time, yet I can't even open the door for you. We always leave each room for one another, but we can't even see the voids within ourselves. We were too empty for one other, too tired, and too toxic for each other. We're stuck in this never-ending loop of redoing mistakes and forgiving. We never learned from our mistakes. When we hit rock bottom again, we merely utilize all of our shortcomings as bullets and knives. We stay because we know that if we leave, we'll be lost.

There's only a little love left here -- too little it won't stay that too long to withstand with us.

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
