Be warned, this tale is not so sweet
The title can be misleading
Do not come here for happy stories and beautiful songs
Cuz if you think that's what poetry is made of, you're dead wrong
You ask someone about love and they tell you about heartbreak
Without even realizing it, we dance to the beat of our hearts
Like drums, they pulverize the air
Such soft abandon, devoid of all care
She was just a young girl
So naive about the world
He was a soldier, coming home from war
Oh, the things he had seen
Humans being ripped apart
Bombs flying through the dark
Bursts of light in the middle of the night
A toxic sunshine
The smell of gunpowder clogging your nose
Your heart, caught in your throat
So many humans, shown no mercy
So many humans, didn't know what they were doing
And once again, it's everybody's fault
We know the script, we've read the lines
Then how did this love become another story out of time?
A tragic romance with a scarred man and a maiden who thought he could change
It's Beauty and the Beast
With a big chance of rain
