lyrics

Finding oneself here
You could ask why
But does it really matter
Thrown blindly into the cockpit
Forced into an unknown machine
Scraps of information
Conflicting and often unclear
It's madness
Sometimes through consistent effort
It's steered toward a direction

Whether by subtlety
Whether by brute force

The body shapes itself
Am I changing
The mind changes itself
Am I my mind, am I my

Desire, routine, and dosage
Measuring measurements and anecdote
Standing on whichever shoulders
Make themselves available

Gauging empirically
Stating that which should be

See it change itself
See
Watch it be itself
Change it
See it watch itself
Watch it
Being change itself

Change embodies itself
Am I changing
I am changing
The change enforced on me

Forcing, choosing, seeing
Flipping a coin
Tilt the table, cheating
Weighing outcomes, waiting
Weighted outcomes
Choosing, hoping scheming
Am I anything but

The body shapes itself
Am I the shape
Of my mind changing itself
Am I my mind, am I my
My mind, am I my mind
Am I my mind, do I mind

Am I the shape
Is this body the body I am
Trapped in an organic prison
It sets me free
I am the machine
Am the object that I am
Which is me
See me, be me
Slowly sliding into disuse
