Delusions

So everything's twinkling, everything's fine.
I'll be yours and you'll be mine.
The bells will chime and the phones will ring.
We'll rejoice in our luck and dance and sing.

But the shine will fade and reality will kick,
You in the you-know-where and it'll be sick.
The insanity will vanish and you will cry.
The magic will perish and you'll want to die.

It's in your head, you get to chose.
Between delusion and abuse.
You get to win, but you also lose.
It's all a part of the romantic ruse...

So you can choose to be happy or choose to be real.
Or you can get both if you're in the real deal.
Open your eyes, look at the truth.
If you want Esmeralda, you must leave Ruth.
