Trying to understand the system of Life Trying to understand myself I created the world to be an image of myself, of my mind
All of these thoughts, all of these doubts and hopes Inside I took out to form a new breed A new way to be And now I am many, so many
So much larger than ever I were Yet, at the same time So much smaller and more vulnarable
They all carry shards of the whole Together they become me I see them interact, develop I see them take different sides As were they different minds Believers of different ways, and different gods
