I am not my body, that's just how you walk
I am not my personality, that's just how you talk
I am not my hopes and fears, my interests or my thoughts
I am not my inner actions, my virtues, or my flaws
N.C.
I am perspective, I am perception
I am the sum of a million microscopic tragedies and lessons
I am nature, I am instinct
I am the puppet stuck observing all I say and do and think
Oh-oh, zoo-de-ni-ah-oh
Bra-ba-doy-ah-sa-ba-way-ah
Ba-zwi-di-na-way-ah-oh
I am seeing, I am hearing
I do experience my movement, but I am not the one who's steering
I am awareness, but I'm unconvinced
I am the only thing I know for certain rŠµally does exist
Oh-oh, zoo-de-ni-ah-oh
Bra-ba-doy-ah-sa-ba-way-ah
Ba-zwi-di-na-way-ah-oh
I am memory, I am emotion
I am governed by a slew of vague biases and notions
I am elder, I am kid
I am the helplessness of Ego caught in tow behind the Id
Oh-oh, zoo-de-ni-ah-oh
Bra-ba-doy-ah-sa-ba-way-ah
Ba-zwi-di-na-way-ah-oh
That's what I am
That's what I'm not
That's all I can be
That's all I care to be
That's all I've got
