Am I the Thing That Knows

Wait wait wait Hold on

Who's thinking this thought right now Who's hearing this sound Who's the one inside my head Going round and round and round

Am I my brain Am I my name Am I the electricity Running through the frame

Or am I the thing that knows Am I the thing that knows

I can think about my thinking That's insane I can watch myself watching Like a hall of mirrors in my brain

Am I the dreamer or the dream Am I the question or the theme Am I the music or the ear Am I the thing that's standing here

Or am I the thing that knows Am I the thing that knows

A dog can love but does it know it loves A crow can solve but does it feel the answer click Does anything out there look up And wonder what it's wondering about

Does a crow look at the moon And feel that thing I feel That ache that makes no sense But makes it all so real

Am I the thing that knows Am I the thing that knows

Eight billion people All awake inside their heads Eight billion universes Walking through their lives

And nobody Nobody Can prove to anybody else That the lights are on in there

But they are Oh they are

Am I the thing that knows I think I am I think I am

I think I am Dance.
