picture of a picture lyrics
[intro]

[shout]

“billy!”

[verse]

his mother calls her son in for dinner
notices he’s missing his coat, though he knows it’s winter
embarrassed…
she allowed him into the yard to play
she decided to remember; that she told him to behave

billy sang…

he never had a coat that he could claim
still, the saying goes mother knows best
to facilitate her own renderings maybe she was remembering
everything as it was, categorizing a memory
when in truth; it was never
the actual event she was recalling
rather, how her memory had presented
information stored, that turns into present tense…

so, according to her, this situation represents
yet another occurrence of billy being dishonest
[shout]

mom: “now boy get your ass inside!”

billy: “but mom… i promise…”

mom: “but nothing, it’s up straight to bed! how dare you defy me, i know what i said….!”

[chorus]

and it’s a picture of a picture, memory of memory
comprises your existence and accounts for everything
identity is a mindset subject, i’m choosing to remember this
like i get no second chances but to romance this
past, though it never happened, i won’t be d_mned
if i’m subject to my retention, i can reinvent it
i leave out every single part that is hard to mention

[shout]

mom: “billy!”

[verse 2]

he hears his mother call him in for dinner
surprised, she let him go out dressed like this in winter
it was cold, and she was right and there was some regret
it didn’t need to be said that mother knows best
now she looks p_ssed as if he had just dismissed
a direct order, in short, the message had been mixed
her words vs. his, his learns hers wins
in turn, this gives him further hits
now his punishment, subject to his mother’s disposition
she said that he looked fine when they were standing in the kitchen
picture of a picture never really being anything
billy was just a kid but insisted that what was said to me
was mere reflection, of life lived in the past tense
the only way to catch it, is to be there when it happens
surprised, by his mother’s reaction life slides by
remember why it’s so hard to capture
[chorus x2]

it’s a picture of a picture, memory of memory
comprises your existence and accounts for everything
identity is a mindset subject, i’m choosing to remember this
like i get no second chances but to romance this past
though it never happened, i won’t be d_mned
if i’m subject to my retention, i can reinvent it
i leave out every single part that is hard to mention

[outro]

and she remembers…
always being there for him

he remembers…
her actions were embarrassing
she remembers…
giving words of wisdom

he remembers…
those words were abysmal

and she remembers…
his bright future

he remembers…
that home couldn’t suture

she remembers…
always keeping him warm

and he remembers…
never being warned!

and she remembers her own memory
he remembers all she was remembering
she remembers a bittersweet end
and he remembers all he can pretend
