incredible song, probably my second fave BSP song next to Carrion

something about it really emphasizes the idea of loneliness. drinking alone and unwanted, reflecting on past loves, thinking on what might've been, ti's all here. something about it, like whiling away the hours hoping something/someone will come along to make it all meaningful. makes longing a bittersweet thing.
