I also self-medicate through music

For reasons I cannot explain
there's some part of me wants to see Graceland.
And I may be obliged to defend
every love, every ending
or maybe there's no obligations now.
Maybe I've a reason to believe
we all will be received in Graceland.

Graceland - Paul Simon

And we said, "These songs are true,
these days are ours,
these tears are free, yeah.
The cross is in the ballpark.
The cross is in the ballpark."

The Obvious Child - Paul Simon

But if I ever get back to the twentieth century,
I guess I'll have to pay off some debts.
Open the book of my vanishing memory
with its catalog of regrets.
Stand up for the deeds I did, and those I didn't do.
Sit down, shut up, think about God,
and wait for the hour of my rescue.

Everything About It Is a Love Song - Paul Simon

And it felt like a winter machine
that you go through and then,
you catch your breath and winter starts again
and everyone else is spring bound.

And when I chose to live
there was no joy
it's just a line I crossed.
It wasn't worth the pain my death would cost,
so I was not lost or found

After All - Dar Williams

I know change is a bad thing,
breaks me down into a sorry sad thing
not some iridescent grateful butterfly.
I'll resist with defiance,
not the valor of a mystic silence.
I will fight the dizzy spiral of goodbye.

It's Alright - Dar Williams
