You're cellophane You think that you got it wrapped up With your brutal suffocating ways Like cellophane Spreading yourself too thin To begin to feel anything Oh all the fear, all the lies What you think you need to survive The crisis is moving in, over and over the same thing From X to Y to Z comply Heartache barely keeps you alive The crisis is coming, over and over the same thing (Alibis alibis) Like alibis Smiling like a sunbeam Furious as creeping fire and grazing ice And your alibis Tongue-tied smoke and mirrors Left stuttering in bleach and lights (Cellophane) Oh all the fear all the lies What you think you need to survive The crisis is moving in over and over the same thing From X to Y to Z comply Heartache barely keeps you alive The crisis is coming over and over the same thing Did you find that you're lost? Oh let us fall down through the cracks in the pavement If you find that you're lost Nothing, nothing is safer Did you find that you're lost? The cracks are the same whether sidewalk or pavement Who's keeping score? Nothing is sacred, nothing is sacred You're like cellophane You think that you got it wrapped up with your brutal suffocating ways Oh all the fear all the lies You think you need to survive The crisis is moving in Over and over the same thing From X to Y to Z comply The heartache barely keeps you alive The crisis is coming Over and over the same thing You're like cellophane You think that you got it wrapped up with your brutal suffocating ways (Alibis) (Alibis) (Alibis)
