Did I Choose This

Did I choose to turn my head just then Or was that always going to happen

Did I choose this song Did I choose to stay Or did a billion neurons Fire before I had a say

Did I choose this Did I choose this

Your brain lights up Half a second before you decide So who decided And who's along for the ride

Maybe free will is a practice Something you build Every time you act As if it matters

Atoms drift Stars burn through their fuel Wind follows pressure

But here you are Arguing with yourself About what to have for dinner Picking up the fork Anyway

Did I choose this I'm going to act like I did I'm going to act like I did

I reach for the door And the door opens Either way
