[Intro] (Glitchy arcade beeps) (Dramatic piano chord) To be happy... or to be good? Which one would you choose? [Verse 1] I built a castle out of perfect lies Polished the edges, covered up the cries The rules of the righteous are a heavy chain They promise a heaven but they cultivate pain I did what was right, wore a hollow smile Walking the straight road, mile after mile But the garden is dead where the duty grows Under the weight of the moral prose [Chorus] Am I happy? Am I good? Did I do the things I should? If I break the mold to save my mind Is it a sin to leave the saints behind? (Glitchy synth drop) Oh, the bitter taste of a righteous heart Tearing my own sweet life apart! [Verse 2] A little bit of poison makes the colors bright A little bit of selfishness to feel the light They call it a shadow, they call it a fall But being an angel got me nothing at all I'm stepping off the pedestal, smashing the glass Letting the judgments of the holy pass If goodness is a cage where the spirit dies I'd rather be a demon with open eyes [Chorus] Am I happy? Am I good? Did I do the things I should? If I break the mold to save my mind Is it a sin to leave the saints behind? (Glitchy synth drop) Oh, the bitter taste of a righteous heart Tearing my own sweet life apart! [Outro] (Solo violin swells, sidechain pumping) Just let me breathe... Even if it's bad. (Register beep, quiet console hiss) I'm finally happy. Are you finally mad? (Power down sound effect)
