Analysis of Playing Brain Catch
As the sea rolls,
My thoughts toss against the side of my head.
They even do this when I dream,
In my nice warm bed.
I can't explain my thoughts or actions,
They just kinda happen.
And for some strange reason,
I might think about rap'in.
Despite all the confusion I have
No one can decide whether
I'll be me or not
And so I'll let my thoughts float around like a feather.
