Melancholy is a pacifying drug, For those of us who can’t feel anything anymore. When you’re drowning in despair for far too long, It’s much harder to reach out for the light above the surface.

Is this all there is to it? Poor unfortunate souls wandering around this desolate void of bleak emptiness? Shame.
