Because the grey box is fixed in height, because for all of Freeway’s
wizzy-wig braggadocio it is still only just wizzy-wiggish.
When the browser renders those elements, the text content inside the gray
box condenses upwards slightly. But since the gray box has a fixed height,
it looks like the box is longer, when it is the content that is shorter.
You can try setting the height of the gray box to flexible, which will make
the box snug to it’s contents – but then make give you fits trying to
prevent a gap from appearing between the gray box and the decorative boxes
that are below it.

Despite the fact, that absolute positioning is a dead-end if it comes to basic framework constructions, it has to do with the declared positioning (from top).
Try to set them (for those three things) from bottom and see if it helps.
