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
