Jean-Dominique Bauby:
I decided to stop pitying myself. Other than my eye, two things aren’t paralyzed, my imagination and my memory.
Jean-Dominique Bauby:
We’re all children, we all need approval.
Jean-Dominique Bauby:
A poet once said, "Only a fool laughs when nothing’s funny"
Dr. Lepage:
We want you to take it easy for a few days.

What do you think I’m doing now?
by Rachel Yamagata
Baby says I can’t come with him
And I had read all of this in his eyes
Long before he even said so
Why go, I asked
You know and I know why
And it’ll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything
Take care
I’ve been hurt before
Too much time spend on closing doors
You may hate me, but I’ll remember to love you
Goodbye
Don’t cry
You know why
And it’ll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything
All the waves of blame arrange as broken scenery
As they steal your best memories away
What if I was someone different in your only history?
Would you feel the same
As I walk out the door
Never to see your face again
Never to see your face again
And it’ll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
It’ll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything to change when I leave
Part of me has died
And won’t return
And part of me wants to hide
The part that’s burned
Once
Once
I knew how to talk to you
Once
Once
But not anymore
Hear the sirens
Call me home, call me home
Call me home, call me home
Part of me has vowed
To watch it burn
And the heart of me has tried
But look what it’s become
Once
Once
I knew where to look for you
Once
Once
But that was before
Once
Once
I would have laid down and died for you
Once
Once
But not anymore
Hear the sirens
Call me home, call me home
Call me home, call me home
Call me home
so
if you ever want something
and your call comes
then I’ll come running
to fight
and I’ll be at your door
when there’s nothing
worth running for
when your mind’s made up
when your mind’s made up
there’s no point trying to change it
when your mind’s made up
when your mind’s made up
there’s no point trying to stop it
you see
you’re just like everyone
when the shit falls
all you want to do is run
away
and hide all by yourself
when it’s far from
there’s nothing else
when your mind’s made up
when your mind’s made up
there’s no point trying to change it
when your mind’s made up
when your mind’s made up
there’s no point even talking
when your mind’s made up
when your mind’s made up
there’s no point trying to fight it
when your mind’s
your mind’s
there’s no point trying to change it
so
if you ever want something
when your call comes
then I’ll come running
