What goes up doesn’t always come on down
Sometimes it just hangs in midair
And sometimes things don’t go according to plan
Yeah sometimes life is downright unfair
What you know and what can be known
They are as separate as false from true
It all goes back
Yeah it all goes back
To the year reality split in two
What we’re seeing isn’t what’s happening
Or so we have come to learn
We were promised we would be great again
But then it all took a sinister downturn
It’s gotten so that I can’t tell
What is illusion and what is real
Just when I think I know what I know what I know
I get pulled apart by a Catherine wheel
What we know is not what we think we know
And life is nothing but a dream
Lay down all thoughts and surrender to the void
Just relax and float downstream
