[Verse 1]
Given free Dwill but within certain limiBtations
I cannot Dwill myself to limitless mutaBtions
I cannot Dknow what I would be if I were Bnot me
I can Gmonly Emguess me
[Verse 2]
So when I Dsay that I know me, how can I Bknow that?
What kind of Dspider understands arachnoBphobia?
I have my Dsenses and my sense of having Bsenses
Do I Gmguide them? Or they Emme?
[Verse 3]
The weight of Ddust exceeds the weight of settled Bobjects
What can it Dmean, such gravity without a Bcentre? 
What can it Dmean, such gravity without a Bcentre? 
Is there Gmfreedom to Emun-be?
Is there Gmfreedom from will-to-Em7be?
[Solo]
D B  D B

Gm Em7 Em
[Verse 4]
Sheer momDentum makes us act this way or Bthat way
We just Dinvent or just assume a Bmotivation
I would Ddisperse, be disconnected. Is this Bpossible?
What are Gmsoldiers without a Emfoe?
[Verse 5]
Be in the Dair, but not be air, be in the Bno air 
Be in the Dair, but not be air, be in the Bno air 
Be on the Dloose, neither compacted nor Bsuspended
Be neithBer born nor left to Emdie
[Verse 6]
Had I been Dfree, I could have chosen not to B7be me
Demented Dforces push me madly round a B7treadmill
Demented Dforces push me madly round a Btreadmill
Let me Gmoff please, I am so tEmired
Let Gmme off please, I am Emso very tired
So very tirBmed
