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?)
