Cellophane

Have you ever been standing in the dark?
When the lightning comes, it just brightens the sky like an A-bomb
It's bright as day for a moment
I see my shadow on the ground alone
Just to be engulfed by the darkness of the night
And when the lightning goes away
It's hard to see in the dark
Shadows disappear and I'm still

Have you ever seen reflections in the water?
Distorted imperfections in the water
It all seems too unsure
Liberate our churches and our schools, institutions led by fools
The water becomes stagnant
Everything is clear
I'm falling down again
I'm spinning around again
I'm burning up again
I don't believe in anything at all

It's hard to see in the dark
Shadows disappear and I'm still
Falling down again
I'm spinning around again
I'm burning out again
I don't believe in anything at all
Everything is real
Everything is real
Everything is real
Everything is real
