Science Project

What do I do
I’ve already done that
what’s left to do
I’ve already spun round
the axis too many times
I’ve seen the sun gleam and shine
sink and rise
and I’ve been around it too many times
to not see the reason why
what do I do
I’ve already done that
what’s left to do
I’ve already done that
pure consciousness
pure reflex
feeling poor 
wanting more
if it wasn’t for that guy
with that magnifying glass in the sky
burning me every time
I don’t do right
if it wasn’t for that guy
I might get some sleep tonight 
what do I do
I’ve already done that
what’s left to do
I’ve already done that
pure consciousness
pure reflex
feeling poor 
wanting more
I feel like a science project
someone left the lid open
and let the ants inside
I feel like a science project
that didn’t get the best of grades
I feel like a science project
that didn’t get an ‘A’
