Why song lyrics?

I remember the famous line from "Bambi" where Thumper Rabbit says "If you can't say something nice, don't say nuthin' at all"

So when I am feeling particularly grouchy or sad or some other way that no one wants to listen to, I resort to song lyrics.

Usually they reflect how I am feeling. Sometimes they reflect how I want to feel. Sometimes they come to me because of a memory or just something that strikes my fancy.

I have gotten pretty introverted again these days. I can feel myself pulling away from people and to some extent even my son. I don't want to poison his day with my depression or anger or frustration.
