Fairytale vs. Reality


Skipping down the path paved in

Gold

The trees are strong and full of Life

And so are you, my King, your people too

This truly is Happy Ever After

The happiness and carefree spirits possess

All the sad people of Seattle and turn their frowns upside down

As the curse has broken of Forever Rain and

The sun shines brightly than ever in a million years

Life itself is beautiful with not a single lie uttered

It’s the Forever Fairytale

We’ve all been waiting for

But I have a present for you

My King, It’s a blindfold…

Here take this blindfold and

Blind yourself from all the horrors and Lies

Of Life

Let your ears tell you what’s truth and what’s

Fiction

But isn’t that what Fairytales are made of?

Pixie Dust and Lies

What is Happy Ever After?

The end of the story, the end, the end of your

Life, young Highness

But I just called Death and he said differently from your Happy Ever After theory

Here let me take off that blindfold

It’s just making you even more

Naïve, dear young King

Let your eyes drench in all the wonders and horrors

Of Life

Enjoy it ‘cause Death just sent you a postcard from

Gloomy Seattle
