Soon you'll forget but I just can't
I remember, remember everything
All the times when no ever came to get me
All the nights when I was scared
And when it got too weird
It was the songs that saved my life
It was the songs that saved me

That was the problem - he remembered everything.
It was the song of Faye that he heard in his head. Whether stretched out on the couch in the common, or practicing his katas, it was Faye's song that was always foremost in his mind. It was Faye's song that kept the weirdness from overwhelming him. Her song was frozen in his memories.
The song of Faye bitching about the lack of heat on the ship, or the scarcity of food before a bounty.
The songs of Faye were playing in his head as he lay dying on the steps of the headquarters building, waiting for the blood to seep out as his life slipped away. The songs of Faye that gave him the strength to hold on, for just a little longer.
The songs that saved his life.
