What I Am Lyrics

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 interactions, my virtues, or my flaws

No there was something else there first

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

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 rеally does exist

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

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
