"Stealing Heat"

I recognize this isn't all about me
But still I only see through my own eyes
I'll try to take away whatever helps me see it clearer
But I'm just a small fry swimming through a big life
Picking peices off of the surface

[chorus]
Act, react, it's all a motion
Thought and feeling, dead emotion
Am I parrot or just a lemming
Stealing heat from all around me
I'm only as alive as I would have you think

Monkey see and do to live and prove
Making systems fit for human eyes
I can admit that every one of us is evil
It's what you do to love that makes you
Start ignoring the world that plagues you

[chorus]
Act, react, it's all a motion
Thought and feeling, dead emotion
Am I the flame or the sparks that came flying
Stealing heat from all around me
I'm only as alive as I would have you think

You've only got one chance
And it doesn't start tomorrow
Reflection or refraction
The drive or the reaction
Make it count

Creatures of habit, chameleons
You and I and everyone
Trained to fit the situation
You've only got one life
Just make it count
