correction: it's not "palimpest" it's "palimpsest" which means a a manuscript on which an earlier text has been effaced and the vellum or parchment reused for another. (essentially a reusing of "skin" since in medieval times that's what most manuscripts were made of). just thought it was an interesting fact, given all the skin imagery.

this song rules.
