I really adore Ani Difranco. She's so honest that it's impossible not to relate to something she's saying. If you've got any, share some more of her lyrics please? <3

"There are some places that I can't go. As a woman I can't go there, and as a person I don't care. I don't go for the 'Hey baby, what's your name?' And I'd like to go alone, thank you, just the same." ~ The Story
"I said skeletons are fine, your closet or mine? And we took turns recounting the details of lost time. And when we had both admitted it all we threw our heads back and laughed until we cried. We laughed because the world is absurd and beautiful and small." ~ Small World
"You don't have to agree with me, but once you get me going you better just let me go. We have to be able to criticize what we love, say what we have to say, 'cause if you're not trying to make something better then as far as I can tell you're just in the way." ~ What if No One's Watching
"I'm no heroine. At least, not last time i checked. I'm too easy to roll over. I'm too easy to wreck. I just write about what i should have done. I just sing what i wish I could say, and hope somewhere some woman hears my music and it helps her through her day." ~ Heroine
"Life is a B movie, it's stupid and it's strange. A directionless story, and the dialogue is lame, but in the 'he said, she said' sometimes there's some poetry.. if you turn your back long enough and let it happen naturally." ~ Hell Yeah
"Night falls like people into love and we generate our own light to compensate for the lack of light from above. Every time we fight a cold wind blows our way we can learn like the trees, how to bend, how to sway. And say I think I understand what all this fighting is for. And I just want you to understand, I'm not angry anymore." ~ Angry Anymore
"I want someone who can twist me up in knots. Tell me, 'For the woman who has everything what have you got?' I want someone who's not afraid of me or anyone else... in other words i want someone who's not afraid of themself.'" ~ Asking Too Much
"I got more and more to do. I got less and less to prove." ~ Evolve
"Regretfully I guess I've only got three simple things to say: Why me? Why this now? Why this way? With overtones ringing, and undertows pulling away. Under a sky that is grey, on sand that is grey, by an ocean that's grey. What kind of paradise am I looking for? I've got everything I want and still I want more." ~ Grey
