27. TOPS - “Anything”

This song is that empty pit in your stomach growing and expanding to swallow your soul. It’s complete and utter loss, the human turned deer in the headlights, watching a situation spiral out of control and evaporate into nothingness, while you stand there transfixed, knowing that there’s nothing you can do to stop it. It’s like coddling your heartbreak, picking the scab because something feels better than nothing. So you hold your breaking heart within your arms, trying to rock it to sleep, each moment collapsing further into yourself until you’re floating in complete absence, drinking in a pain that’s damning yet intoxicating in its stark beauty.
