                   What I Am
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean

Philosophy is a talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am, are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am, are you what you are or what?

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks
Religion is a light in the fog

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep (2x)

What I am is what I am, are you what you are or what?
Don't let me get too deep

                  Circle
Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
and we notice you don't come around
Me, I think it all depends
on you touching ground with us.
But I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else it seems.
And being alone is the best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be.
When I'm by myself nobody else can say goodbye.
Everything is temporary anyway.
When the streets are wet --
the color slip into the sky.
But I don't know why that means you and I are
- that means you and...
I quit -- I give up.
Nothin's good enough for anybody else it seems.
And being alone is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself it's the way to be.
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be.
When I'm by myself nobody else can say...
Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
and we notice you don't come around.
