Does the brain steer the ship or the heart take control Between the head and the chest who grabs the soul Confusion circling like planets round a star In the chaos of the cosmos who we really are When you start to ponder which holds more sway Do the thoughts direct the dance or emotions lead the way A tug of war inside between the cortex and the pulse Who drives the human machine the brain or the impulse The body calls the shots when the mind ain’t lookin' The mind plots the moves when the heart ain’t shaken Who’s the puppet master pulling all the strings Does the body rule the mind or the mind rule the body? In the dark of night who whispers in your ear Is it logic's cold voice or the pounding of your fear When you reach a crossroads which path will you choose Do you follow gut feeling or the thoughts you can't lose Echoes of thoughts and a rhythm in the chest Tangled threads we weave inside an endless quest Hunting for answers in a maze with no end Does the matter fold or does thought transcend The body calls the shots when the mind ain’t lookin' The mind plots the moves when the heart ain’t shaken Who’s the puppet master pulling all the strings Does the body rule the mind or the mind rule the body?
