[Verse 1]
I could be the voice
The stereo will sell you
And no one really values
Singing on the auction block
But I'm not

And I could be the dirt
That everybody walks on
And soak up all their thoughts on
How to make it to the top, but I'm not
But I'm not

[Chorus]
Through every stage of understanding
They try to tell me what I want
And I can't say just who I am yet
But I'm closer, than I thought
'cause I know who I'm not

[Verse 2]
I could be the breath
That blows out someone's candles
Whispers under handed
Jealous wishes in the dark
But I'm not

And I could be the critic
With judgement in my eyes
Sat on nothing but the prize
The kind that hides a broken heart
But I'm not, but I'm not

[Chorus]
Through every stage of understanding
They try to tell me what I want
And I can't say just who I am yet
But I'm closer, than I thought
'cause I know who I'm not

[Outro]
I could be the step
Blind but still believing
I will find my freedom
They may say that I am lost
But I'm not
