Can I ask you a question?
Will you answer it?
Will you give a solution?
Can you help me a bit?
Am I tripping over the carpet
or did my friends lie?
Is it true that they all forget
what hides behind my smile?
Is there anyone to empty the water
so that I can breathe again?
Mop up the mess that is left here
and soak up the confusion within.
If there is an answer, then it is swerving
because the question is a quest.
All of these puddles are unnerving.
We’ve all been given no time to rest.
Can you give me help, backwards?
Tell me, is this puzzle real?
Are all solutions, in fact, cowards?
Our reason is beginning to peel.
Silence on the other end of the line.
Letters sent back unanswered.
Tell me it will be ‘just fine’.
What does it take to be heard?
My senses all deceive me
and all these people make no sense.
I know what your answer will be.
I can feel the carpet tense.
Will you ask me a question?
Can I answer it?
Can I give you a solution?
Shall I help you a bit?
All these answers are plagiarised
The truth has been bottled up in a jar
Swept under the carpet or disguised
They can only run so far.
