The love of your life left, and your heart is so broken that you’re dead inside and feel indifferent to life.

“All these tears have fucked my sight/ The skin around my eyes is soft, like the skin of my cock when I’m erect/ I remember you used to say you liked that/ But John said, having a bird is like having a job/ You don’t want to leave one until you’ve got another one set up/ But sometimes, under certain work conditions, you’d be better off on the Old King Cole.”
– Arab Strap, “Birds”

What we both need at the moment is a good mope for a while. But not too long — you’ll be okay soon.

Mix Tapes
