Pseudo-break-up. Rightfully said. Only kind I knew for years, until I gave up on them all together. Nothing feels faster than the speed of pain, and, as the poet Marilyn Manson said:

"They slit our throats like we were flowers,

and our milk has been devoured

When you want it, goes away too fast

Times you hate it always seem to last

Just remember, when you think you're free,

the crack inside your fucking heart is me

I wish I could sleep, but I can't lay on my back

'cause there's a knife for every day that I've known you..."

The reason why I first thought of Manson was because of your lyrics in your new song (congrats). You're in endless pursuit, and there are many doors but none are really open for you. I once wrote a lot of hopelessness too. Manson's approach was self-empowering i.e., "There is an exit here, I say it is and it's true."

When its ready, please post the SA commercial here. No quick covid tests back home. We get sick, wonder what it is, carry on hoping we get better.
