How often have I caught myself ignoring
everything around me?
I'm either going somewhere better
Or remembering some place I'd rather be
I choose what seems important
from the thousand things I find in any day
I learn what I predicted
In patterns that were in me anyway
These plans and conclusions
These things that I know
They're just more brain cages
Resisting the flow
I've got drugs to close my eyes
And luxury to keep me fast asleep
Fear to keep me running
And opinions I'll fight to keep
My head is filled with expectations
of ways I think that I should try and be
The door's wide open
But I'm still inside, searching for the key
These stories I make up
These places I go
They're just more brain cages
Resisting the flow
Sometimes it's very different
There's something special in everything I see
Nothing is familiar
And boredom has no hold on me
Like islands we discover
Worlds we always thought that we knew
Every place, every person, every moment
Is something new
Bodies that relax
Hearts that open
And minds that wanna know
And no brain cages
Resisting the flow
