| Existence What you see, is it solid? Scientists, who know it all, say no. Really solid, is it? Just pretend Pretend it isn’t even there What did you see? Did you see that brief flash? Did it all vanish for just an instant? Did you rush to put it back again? Or did you deny you saw it gone at all? Let’s do it again Look between the scenes See that void that's flashing Which is real? The void flashing Or the reality of that solid wall Reality is that which we agree is real. Is it really real, reality? Is reality real or is it just agreed upon? Used to be that the Earth was flat Was it? Could it have been? Scientists, who know it all, say no. But did someone just disagree? Disagreed that the world was flat And then it wasn’t Who’s to say? First it’s one way Tomorrow another way! Egyptians drew flying saucers on the wall Roswell saw a real flying saucer fall Scientists, who know it all, say no. And the government hides it all. You’re looking at the wall or Looking at the scene straight through the wall Imagination, agreement Which is real? Which is actual? Matter, energy, space, time, what’s reality? Scientists, who know it all, they don’t know. They’re scared to look at the wall. Scared to see through the wall Scared because they might see They might see their reflections looking back.
