I never listen to Ani DiFranco anymore. Well, didn't, at least, until I got those tickets to go see her. Since then I've been dragging out all of my old albums, and immersing myself in her lyrics - only to discover that they actually make me feel things that I haven't felt since I graduated! And I need those feelings back! Feeling like I'm worth more, like I need more, like I deserve more. So here's some lyrics - hope you like 'em - from one of her songs. They just rock, and not that they tell me what to do or how to fix this feeling, it's at least cool to be able to sing about how I feel.
Back Back Back - To The Teeth - 1999
back back back in the back of your mind
are you learning an angry language
tell me boy boy boy are you tending to your joy
or are you just letting it vanquish
back back back in the dark of your mind
where the eyes of your demons are gleaming
are you mad mad mad about the life you never had
even when you are dreaming
