Grace Englebreeze Poet Lyric

Impossible Puzzle

I just cannot figure it out
What do I say without freaking them out
Am I a person or some kitchen counter grout
To be scrubbed out
I really wanna know right now
How

I dunno
The door always seems to be closed
I can't open it
Or
I suppose I won't
We're all scared of being exposed
Undisclosed
Who we really are
Subpar

The sky is blue
Then the sky turns grey
It ultras to a red that seems to say
What are you doing down there
With your useless human life
What are you doing down there 
With your useless human life

I shrug
Still looking with my head tilted back
Just letting firmament hit me with metaphorical smacks

Why

I don't know
Where do I fit though
I can't be the only cargo
In this whole free-throw, freak show
Oh wait
I'm the no-go, no-show
The only one not in the photo
Always be a kid 
Cause' there's nothing to outgrow

I can't figure it out
The pieces never fit
And there are too many of 'em anyway

What do I do
What do I do
I can't figure it out
What do I do
What do I do
I can't figure it out

And guess what?

Neither can you
