The Restoration of ME


 Comfort Songs...follows from Comfort Food, right?
 

Every day when I get into my truck my boy Dave sings me a song that eases the pain and soothes my weary soul. I start the engine and right off the bat I hear "Baby, it's alright, stop your crying...now" and I do. As I've said before, Dave and the boys have always been there to provide me with a song or two to express what's going on within me and help me deal. Thank you Dave...



Baby
by Dave Matthews

Baby, it's alright
Stop your crying
Now

Nothing is here to stay
Everything has to begin and end
A ship in a bottle won't sail
All we can do is dream that the wind will blow us across the water
A ship in a bottle set sail

Baby, it's alright
Stop your crying, now

There was a weakling man
Who dreamed he was strong as a hurricane
A ship in a bottle set sail
He took a deep breath and blew across the world
He watched everything crumble
Woke up a weakling again

Some might tell you there's no hope in hand
Just because they feel hopeless
But you don't have to be a thing like that
You be a ship in a bottle set sail

Baby, it's alright
Stop your crying, now
It's alright
So stop your crying, now
Be a ship in a bottle set sail

This next song is a plain old breakup song...trying to deal, trying to deal...

Some Devil
by Dave Matthews

One last kiss one only
Then I'll let you go Hard for you
I've fallen
But you can't break my fall
I'm broken don't break me
When I hit the ground

Some devil some angel
Has got me to the bones
You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Is such a long and lonely time

Too drunk and still drinking
It's just the way I feel
It's alright
Is what you told me
Cause what we had was so beautiful
Feel heavy like floating
At the bottom of the sea

You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Is such a long and lonely time

Some devil is stuck inside of me
I cannot set it free
I wish, I wish I was dead and you breathing
Just so that you could know
Some angel is stuck inside of me
But I cannot set you free

You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Such a long and lonely time

Stuck inside of me

 Ecclesiastes 3:1
 

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

 Comfort Foods
 

Where would we be without them, huh? If I didn't know before I sure as hell know now what mine are...

A few glasses of wine... ...

a piece of cake... ...

a bit of ice cream... ...and chips!!!

So tell me, what do you guys ingest to drown out your troubles and does it really work for you

I'm sure I can make room on the top of the fridge for some more junk...

 I Now Understand Hamlet...
 

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.--Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.

 Ah well...back to Linkin Park via Grey Street
 

The pain...my pain, my heartbreak, my constant companion of late...I wonder, I do, what it is that you want from me? Is it my soul, my heart, my mind or body? Is there a lesson here for me to learn?

Right now I can't recall you and how you felt cause I drank to dull your sharp edge, your hold on me...ah, what a sweet escape!

Ha, I win!
..that is until...

the effect wears off then you'll come back, I know you will and bring with you the
...shortness of breath,
...anxiety,
...the subtle feeling that I'm being eaten up from the inside,
...and at the heart of the matter, the feeling that I'm just not good enough.

What is it about the pain of heartbreak?
...is it the inability to make sense of it?
...is it the helplessness to do anything about it?

Or is it that it is the opposite of love, the life giving force of the universe?
...death, cold, dark, empty, heavy
...eternal until the grace of God lifts it from the heart.
