The Descent of Man

Oct 24, 2005 22:12

I've been finding out some pretty disturbing things about people I used to be (or am) close with. Just a word for anyone living a double life - FUCKING STOP IT! Be honest. Life's too short to deal with lies and bullshit and confusion. God, I really lose faith in humanity sometimes. Now, I'm going to post the lyrics to a song from Les Miserables. Chances are it doesn't apply to you, so relax...

"I Dreamed A Dream"

There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in times gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we'll live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
