No one has it figured out
I know this without a doubt

Not the guard patrolling
Nor the teacher strolling

Not the scientist in theory
Nor the taxi driver steering

It may seem as though they have a hard heart
That doesn’t get twisted or burned by any noble part

It may seem as though they have a metal fist
That knocks and pounds to no exist

It may seem as though they have firm lips
That doesn’t tremble or bite along with any tiff

It may seem as though they have planted feet
That doesn’t trip or skip to get to their seat

It may seem as though their have a clear head
That doesn’t hurt or confuse with anything said

But don’t be mistaken by things that appear to be
What seems strong and solid is really weak just like you and me.
