Waves in the Brain

Waves in my brain to your cliche songs they entrain Background music in the store It takes me over to my core Others keep looking for merchandise Or converse with each other to break the ice But I sing along with nothing to prove Just taken over by a nonlinear groove. (chorus) Waves in my brain like a tidal refrain, When you can't think, the vacuum's the pain I sing other people's words, can't think alone cobwebs grow on a stalling stone My cortex resonates to the rhythmic beat I start dancing in the aisles, pounding my feet It's like I'm under a spell by a witch As my brainstem resonates to a higher pitch The people with the white coats come for me My shrink is puzzled, he just can't see When your brain is one big empty hall Music rules it, better than nothing at all. They were right, I'm just an empty suit So don't play that piano, guitar or flute Thinking is hard, But I'm going to be brave I'll find a way to make my own wave.
