Dreams Underfoot: UnquietDreams' Dark Whimsy

"And both hands
Now use both hands
Oh, no don't close your eyes
I am writing
Graffiti on your body
I am drawing the story of
How hard we tried..."

--"Both Hands," Ani DiFranco

"
I am writing graffiti on your body/ I am drawing the story of how hard we tried" is one of the greatest lyrics ever, and I will never write a sentence that good. That isn't envy -- it is awe.
 
"In each other's shadows we grew less and less tall
And eventually our theories couldn't explain it all
And i'm recording our history now on the bedroom wall
And when we leave the landlord will come
And paint over it all"

--"Both Hands," Ani DiFranco

Painting over the wall, so all we had is gone is such a brilliant image as well. My love and respect for Ani cannot be fully expressed.
