I don't know how you're doing this , but i never did .
I used to cut birds before when i was 7, take 'em out of the cage, dismiss every part then set 'em on fire , was funny actually but that's not the point , the point is i never cried or anythin' , i tried to imagine what it feels but i got nothin' . maybe a smile to be honest ...
