Am I the spark? Am I the flame? Am I the thing That learned its name? [Verse 1] Brain goes first, I come behind Like I’m reading someone else’s mind Heart says run, hands say fight I say “me” and hold on tight Little wires, little lies Little storms behind my eyes If I choose after it starts Who’s the ghost inside the parts? [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know, I don’t know Who’s got the wheel when the currents go I don’t know, I don’t know But I feel it move and I call it soul [Chorus] I’m a living signal La-la-lightning in my skin I’m a living signal Something singing from within I’m not the puppet I’m not the king I’m the weird little wire That learned to sing Living signal La-la-living signal Living signal La-la-living signal [Verse 2] Dog on a leash thinks he leads Country thinks it’s born free I got strings, I got scars I got chemicals driving cars Still I pause, still I steer Still I talk back to the fear If the storm is making me I’m the storm that learned to see [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know, I don’t know Who’s got the wheel when the currents go I don’t know, I don’t know But I feel it move and I call it soul [Chorus] I’m a living signal La-la-lightning in my skin I’m a living signal Something singing from within I’m not the puppet I’m not the king I’m the weird little wire That learned to sing Living signal La-la-living signal Living signal La-la-living signal [Bridge] If the brain breaks Does the song change? If the wires cross Do I lose my name? If the beat bends Am I still me? Same old body Different melody [Breakdown] Not fake, not free Not chained, not clean Not god, not meat I’m the thing between Not fake, not free Not chained, not clean Not god, not meat I’m the thing between [Final Chorus] I’m a living signal La-la-lightning in my skin I’m a living signal Something singing from within I’m not the puppet I’m not the king I’m the weird little wire That learned to sing Living signal La-la-living signal Living signal La-la-living signal
