I've heard people say that truth is a bitter pill

And sometimes we swallow it down, down, down

Except most of the time we don't

We ignore it, hide from it, run from it

Or sometimes we grab hold of it and twist, twist, twist

Until the bits that were ugly or scary are gone

And we've got something pretty and shiney in our hands

Even if the core is bad, bad, bad

But nobody minds too much as long as you don't poke at it

I guess if you can't see it, maybe it's not really there

Like quantum

So we smile and nod, nod, nod

And agree that it's all relative anyway
