Evidently goldfish

Check the honesty of what's on offer,
True detective or a fake fakir?
All the evidence is circumstantial -
As mud the evidence is clear.
Paranormal the investigation -
Where do things go when they disappear?
All the evidence has been trumped up...
As mud the evidence is clear,
I think we're into something here,
I think we're into something...
I don't know but
Maybe we're all goldfish
In the mental sphere.
Evidently goldfish
Never questioning enviroment
Self-evidently goldfish
We swim in circular experience;
Church of logical deliberation,
School of accidental wheels in gear....
Surface knowledge is a serious matter,
A little consciousness is dangerous, dear;
All the evidence must be summed up -
As mud the evidence is clear,
I think we're into something,
I don't know but maybe
We're all goldfish in the mental sphere.
Evidently goldfish
Never question their enviroment;
Self-evidently goldfish
We swim in circular experience;
Evidently goldfish
Round and round and round and round
Within our conciousness
In the mental sphere.
As mud the evident is clear
