But now we must pack up every piece of the life we used to love

Hey, try doing this. Go stand in front of a mirror. Make sure there's a good light source available. Open your mouth real big, say "Aaahhhhhh" and stare at the back of your throat. Do you see holes at the side? I just found some relatively sizeable and seemingly black holes at both sides. Is it normal? Do you have 'em too?
