Figure That
Here lies the story of a girl:
 A girl who is smart
 But doesn't know art
 A girl who is surrounded by friends and family
 But is isolated at heart
 
 From the beginning this girl
 Had no rules
 From the beginning this girl
 Was always confused
 
 Submerge yourself deeper
 Under the water
 Run farther onto
 Your deserted island
 
 To her nothing has meaning
 Honesty, Truth, Betrayal
 Now just coming out from her shell
 Introducing
 Me
 Do you understand me now?
 Now the girl says to you
 I cry for help
 But who is there to help me
 Who WILL help me
 
 Is it me who has become
 A monster of protocol
 Is it me who has forgotten
 How to feel
 
 Where am I to go
 How do you know
 When will you
 Show me the way
 
 How will you save
 me, us, the universe
 from drowning in my pain.
 
 She ran away
 To look for answers
 Trying to find her way through
 The mess she was in
 from which she could not get away
 
 Struggle and fight
 With my questions through the night
 You might be get away
 But she-she will always
 Remember that day.
