Now I Feel Like Whatever I Do,

The Worst Pain In The World Is Shame.

Everybody Acts Like I'm Nuts. I'm Not Nuts I Just Want To Feel It All.

It Pisses Me Off To Think We're Conditioned To Push Away Bad Feelings And Think Anything That's Uncomfortable Is To Be Avoided. When Things Are Really Bad Nowadays, I Recognize The Value In It Because It's Me Filling My Quota- It's Going To Make My Joy More Intense Later.

You Know, The Age Thing Really Bugs Me. Do People Have More Of A Right To Not Like What I Say Because I'm 19? I'm Up Here Because Of What I Write. Obviously, I Must Know Something, Or I Wouldn't Have Been Nominated For Best New Artist. Sometimes It's Like, "you're Right. My Mother Wrote These Songs."

I Was Never Somebody Who Grew Up Going, 'i Really Want To Be A Singer In A Band,' And I Never Had Any Ambition Toward Anything, Really.
