Lyrics A Fool's Paradise - Worthwhile

A Fool's Paradise

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
