About the song
I had to get that three-not piano riff out of my head and into MIDI as quickly as possible. I found the spoken sample on Freesound. It's by Jaume Ferrete and can be found here: http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=34529

All other samples from Reason's library except one loop from Ableton.
Lyrics
I do not know who I am, but I desperately want self-definition.
I'm trying to get us to abandon that terminology.
I'm saying something inconsistent.
I am who I say I am.
I am an employer.
I'm not there. I do not sleep.
I'm speaking to a microphone, broadcasting my despair - but I hear no response.
I'm sorry I was not here to hear your whole testimony. I am listening now.
I am not sophisticated, but simple, concentrated and friendly.
I am not well-trained in smile, but always curious and want to help others.
I am a little bit afraid that it might sound noisy to you.
I am never afraid of facing challenges and difficulties.
I am the person that I am because of my birth culture.
I like who I am.
I am not likely to be impressed by the same thing over and over again.
I am acting, just like a man.
I am not sick, I don't need help.
I am sorry for every time I made you cry.
I am a visitor.
