BILL
dedicated to my best friend steph
There once was a duck named Bill
The bathtub for him i would fill
But when he jumped in
He cried,"I can't swim!"
And that was the end of poor Bill.


SCREAM
i'm right outside
but where am i
you don't know yet
but you will soon

i'm here right now
but soon i'll be gone
no one will know
that i was here

because i'm smart
you'll soon be dead
i'm coming in
so run away

right up the stairs
not out the door
you stupid thing
it's just too easy

you're crying now
i can taste your fear
i know what you're thinking
go on and scream

GROWING PAINS
it's raining outside
i can hear the drops hitting the windowpane
and somewhere a bird is singing
maybe it's lost
all i can think about is life
maybe i should say death
how life is changing so quickly
i wish it would just slow down
or maybe stop
i remember when i was little
life was great and everything was easy
but now i'm grown up
and things aren't as easy
it's full of choices like they say
but what they didn't tell me was that these choices were
so hard
it seems that no matter what i choose
i've chosen wrong
and some one gets hurt
usually me
they didn't tell me i'd be so hurt
they didn't tell me it would hurt so much
and i can't do anything
all i can do is sit here
and listen to it rain
somewhere that bird is still singing
waiting to be found

MY ANSWERLESS QUESTIONS
why must life be so competitive?
why do we have to play this game?
why must we want to win?
what will we get?
will some one give us the ultimate prize?
they can't
there is no ultimate prize
there's always something better
the grass is always greener
at least that's what they say
who are they?
why are they so important?
how did they get so smart?
are they always right?
they can't be
no one can be perfect
that's just not right
what is right, anyway?
who's the judge?
why is that the only way?
aren't there other ways to go?
of course there are
there are lots of ways
and all of them are right
but some people's ways are better than others'
why must life be so competitive?
