Getaways Turned Holidays

Fate leave on my doorstepA soldier, a soldierA fable, a fortuneI long for, I long for

Ever so secret I seeWhat's in store for meI won't let it misleadOh no. No, it hasn't happened yet

As for the dyingAnd the fadingAnd resolve to beOkay with the natural decayI'll choose illusionAnd safety a hundred times overI'm prepared to be happy and deceivedI'm supposed to be happy and deceived

Let us find perfectionAnd nonsense in all we areSave defects for laterWe're angels for now

Hide my uniform prideYour arrogant sideI'm aching alreadyHide your taciturn, mundane expressionsAffection will carry us a little while more

As for the dyingAnd the fadingAnd resolve to beOkay with the natural decayI'll choose illusionAnd safety a hundred times overI'm prepared to be happy and deceivedI'm supposed to be happy and deceived

Let us be entertainedLet me believe it ends this way

As for this dyingAnd as for this rottingI'm okay with this natural decayI'll choose illusionsAnd safety a hundred times overI'm prepared to be happy and deceivedI'm supposed to be happy and deceivedI'm prepared to be happy and deceivedDrop this curtain I'm happy and naive.
