Consciousness is a funny thing A whole lot of mystery there Feels like everything’s connected You ever feel that in the air? Carbon inside our cells Iron running through our blood Calcium built in our bones All born from stars above Look into a microscope Mycelium webs in the dirt Now compare it to neural networks Tell me that ain’t how we work Branching patterns everywhere Signals moving back and forth Information, resources Different scale, same source Fungi move nutrients through soil Like neurons sending signals through our brains Forests whisper through the roots below Sending out warnings through the veins It’s the same design, just a different size From the soil to the stars in the sky We’re not separate lines, we’re a single thread Of a pattern, never dies Zoom in close or pull back wide It’s one great system we’re inside Lungs look like tree branches Splitting out, reaching for air Like rivers breaking through deltas Lightning cracking through the air Fractal shapes repeating Nature’s favorite way to grow Max the surface, keep it flowing Same solution high and low Neurons firing electricity Lightning flashing through the sky Charge builds up, then releases Same dance, just magnified Spiral geometry everywhere Galaxies, shells, hurricanes, DNA Four-letter code inside our cells Like music, math, and words we say It’s the same design, just a different size From the soil to the stars in the sky We’re not separate lines, we’re a single thread Of a pattern, never dies Zoom in close or pull back wide It’s one great system we’re inside Sacred shapes in altered states Fractals, tunnels made of light Grids and spirals, ancient visions Seen by humans through all time Even every breath we take Is part of a greater exchange Plants exhale the life we breathe We return it back again We share one giant lung with forests Boundaries thinner than they seem The line between the self and nature Might be smaller than we think Maybe we’re the universe Looking back at its own face Maybe all this separation Is just distance in our space It’s the same design, just a different size From the soil to the stars in the sky We’re not separate lines, we’re a single thread Of a pattern, never dies Zoom in close or pull back wide It’s one great system we’re inside Consciousness is a funny thing A mystery we all share Maybe we’re just the universe Becoming self-aware
