A Fool's Paradise - Worthwhile

A warm summer sunrise

Her eyes met his

Love at first sight

Not what it seems

Love blossomed but ends suicide

His charm was like a spell

Disarmed, she follows to a cell

Oh burning love, oh loving hate

Cause' she doesn’t want this

But in this place there’s no escape

Our tragedy continues

With a beating and a rape

«Is this heaven, or is it hell?

I’m drowning in these sheets»

She thinks loves such a heavy

Burden do I sink

He sells her all night

From man after men

Locks the door, hides the key

Do you love me

He says yes

But his actions speak differently

She stripped of love

They buy her cheap

He lies, pockets the dime

Actions is the only thing that

Speaks in situations like these

You take so much

But give so little

«Never was a story of more woe

Than that of Juliet & her Romeo.»

He takes her downtown, buys her a red dress

Branded.

Walks the boulevard

Stranded, mascara’s all a mess

There’s no escape except in her dreams

So often she relives

The horror in her sleep

Business is good

Sex sells, Supply is cheap

Demand is high

And justice is blind

Scared, careless, or a lie

While these buyers and sellers

Live in a fool’s paradise

A single suicide, a true tragedy

Not how the story goes

Romeo watches with apathy

«These violent delights have violent ends

These violent delights have such violent ends.»

«Hello can you hear me?

My actions speak differently

«I'm sorry, really.

You’re worth

More than sex and money

I am no fool.

I know that means nothing to you»

My inactivity screams

My words are untrue
