Free Will And Testament Lyrics
[00:01.75] Given free will but within certain limitations,
[00:08.52] I cannot will myself to limitless mutations,
[00:14.16] I cannot know what I would be if I were not me,
[00:21.50] I can only guess me.
[00:31.59] So when I say that I know me, how can I know that?
[00:37.75] What kind of spider understands arachnophobia?
[00:44.68] I have my senses and my sense of having senses.
[00:52.49] Do I guide them? Or they me?
[01:02.35] The weight of dust exceeds the weight of settled objects.
[01:08.94] What can it mean, such gravity without a centre?
[01:16.24] Is there freedom to un-be?
[01:30.54] Is there freedom from will-to-be?
[02:12.95] Sheer momentum makes us act this way or that way.
[02:19.28] We just invent or just assume a motivation.
[02:26.24] I would disperse, be disconnected. Is this possible?
[02:34.11] What are soldiers without a foe?
[02:44.47] Be in the air, but not be air, be in the no air.
[02:59.02] Be on the loose, neither compacted nor suspended.
[03:09.42] Neither born nor left to die.
[03:16.64] Had I been free, I could have chosen not to be me.
[03:23.76] Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill.
[03:30.87] Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill.
[03:38.79] Let me off please, I am so tired.
[03:45.38] Let me off please, I am so very tired.
[04:08.02]
[00:08.52] I cannot will myself to limitless mutations,
[00:14.16] I cannot know what I would be if I were not me,
[00:21.50] I can only guess me.
[00:31.59] So when I say that I know me, how can I know that?
[00:37.75] What kind of spider understands arachnophobia?
[00:44.68] I have my senses and my sense of having senses.
[00:52.49] Do I guide them? Or they me?
