Feel the silence.

I went back to SMAC this afternoon to return my locker key and get my deposit back, and in the postgrad computer lab, where I've spent pretty much the whole of my Honours year...

C: So when are you leaving?

Until we leave this behind
Don't fall, just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives.
