Death of a Dreamer

I am the animated corpse of a dreamer

The inevitable unspeakable result

Of every dreamer woken

When truth rears in to be your bride

And shows you her worldly ways

And reveals that all dreams are

LIES

There is no happily ever after

There are moments of joy

Just enough to make the struggling dream

Feel like a possible conclusion

But dreams are lies

It all ends in mud.
