Verse 1: Same plucking as intro
Fate leave on my doorstep
soldier. soldier
fable, fortune
I long for. I long for
Ever so secret I see
what's in store for me
I won't let it mislead
Oh no, No, it hasn't happened yet
Chorus:
As for the dying and the fading
and resolve to be Okay with the natural decay
I'll choose illusion And safety a hundred times over
I'm prefer to be happy and deceived
I'm supposed to be happy and deceived
Verse 2: Same plucking as intro
Let us find perfection
Nonesense in all we are
And save defects for later
We're angels now
Hide my uniform pride Your arrogant side
I'm aching already
Hide your taciturn mundane expressions
Affection will carry us a little while more
(Repeat Chorus 1 except last 2 lines)
I'm prefer to be happy and deceived
I'm supposed to be happy and deceived
(hold)
Let us be entertain, let me believe end this way

Chorus 2:
As for the dying And as for the rotting
I'm okay with natural decay
I'll choose illusions
and safety a hundred times over
I'm prepared to be happy and deceived
I'm supposed to be happy and deceived

(hold)
Drop this curtain I'm happy and naive
