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.
