Is This The Picture?

I hear you saying that it's good to be lonely

That it's better for the juice and the spark

But on this side

Of romanticizing

I've no faith in the bubble

As it flies to a windscreen

Is that the picture you want to believe in?

(And was that important to us

What everyone else does?)

What a peach, it's the king of excuses

Justified by I do what I will

But on this side

Of fixing a wager

It's best not to bet on

Skewed information

Is that the picture you put all your faith in?

(And was that important to us

What everyone else does?)

You've been presenting me the fact of opinion

Bullshit reframed so it looks like an art

But on this side

Of false advertising

The argument's traded

For a minute's excitement

Is this the picture you're categorized in?

(And was that important to us

What everyone else does?)
