This self was brought to you today by the letter C for consciousness,
And was formed through Intersubjective linguistically mediated perspective taking,
I AM trapped in this skin,
Trapped in this face,
Trapped in this life that I can't help but make,
Trapped in these roles that I can't help but play,
Everyday, saying these words that I can't help but say,
Am I the witness or the chooser,
Along for the ride and just watching me cry like a loser,
Or am I the creator of all this mess,
Am I responsible for all this stress,
Hell yes,
Both/and,
I'm gunna make those plans,
but I've learned reality don't give a good god damn,
What I'm into or what I might think it's all about,
No doubt, the goddess is teaching me by knocking me out,
I'm building castles in the sky,
Not rooted enough in the earthy day to day to even get by,
I need to build a bridge if I wanna get high,
But things seem to always go to hell when I try,
Why,
I can't help but see through your eyes,
Your gaze shapes the way that I play my disguise,
So through Indra's net I arise,
A fractioned off fractal a paradigm partial reprise,
These fun house mirrors of perspective,
mirrors of perspective,
They hide and they show,
Please forgive me,
Because if you where me,
Which you are,
You would have done what I did,
Which you did,
You would be who I AM,
Which you are,
You would struggle with your Id,
Which you do,
These fun house mirrors of perspective,
mirrors of perspective,
They hide and they show,
What then is truth,
A vast mobile army of metaphors metonyms
and anthropomorphisms in service of sooth,
A performance in pursuit of fruit,
Meaning in the making of loot,
Refuted and rebooted and resuited for youth,
Recited and excited and united at root,
I light it and poof,
It's up and smoke,
Is this a magic trick or a joke,
I'll take a toke,
I get it, relit it, hit it, sit it, and choke,
I get so caught up in the symbols that these symbols invoke,
I'm plugged into this meaning matrix that can't help but connote,
The values that antiquated cultures promote,
I'm slowly learning if I let you play these parts in my reality,
You will change me and my life forever,
What bonds should I be making,
And what bonds should I probably sever,
I can't help but see through your eyes,
Your gaze shapes the way that I play my disguise,
So through Indra's net I arise,
A fractioned off fractal a paradigm partial reprise,
These fun house mirrors of perspective,
mirrors of perspective,
They hide and they show,
Please forgive me,
Because if you where me,
Which you are,
You would have done what I did,
Which you did,
You would be who I AM,
Which you are,
You would struggle withy our id,
Which you do,
These fun house mirrors of perspective,
mirrors of perspective,
They hide and they show,
