• Just take me home where the mood is mellow
  And the roses are grown
  M&M's are yellow
  And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker
  Everybody gets a nice autograph picture
  One for you and one for your sister
  Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
  Every song's a favorite song
  And mics don't feed back.

  Lupe Fiasco

Despite its faults, my brain, I decided, was not the worst place in the world to be.
