“oh i’m scared of the middle place, between light and nowhere,”

when antony gets halfway through the line “oh i’m scared of the middle place, between light and nowhere,” he stops to cry.

it’s the most upsetting thing ever filmed—worse than if tom waits started weeping while singing the opening of train song: “well I broke down in east st. louis, on the kansas city line…i fell down at the derby, and now the night’s black as a crow. it was a train that took me away from here, but a train can’t bring me home.”
