first day of being single and absolutely miserable

i woke up before 5am. i should be doing that on the weekdays for work but today is saturday. i can't sleep. my world has changed too much. i thought of a song and the title alone made me cry. i need to kill some time to get numb and tired so i can go back to sleep. perhaps i'll post a relationship song a day until i get over this. except, i don't think i know that many songs. i also decided to start documenting my post-break-up recovery and participate in the flickr 365 project, where one takes (or at least tries to take) a self-portrait everyday for 1 year.

"without you i'm nothing" by placebo

strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide
i'll take it by your side
such imagination seems to help the feeling slide
i'll take it by your side
instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies
i'll take it by your side
oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide
i'll take it by your side

tick - tock
tick - tock
tick - tock
tick - tick - tick - tick - tick - tock

i'm unclean, a libertine
and every time you vent your spleen
i seem to lose the power of speech
you're slipping slowly from my reach
you grow me like an evergreen
you never see the lonely me at all

i... take the plan, spin it sideways
i... fall

without you, i'm nothing
without you, i'm nothing
without you, i'm nothing
take the plan, spin it sideways
without you, i'm nothing at all
