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 striped of love He [?] Actions is the only thing that Speaks in situations like these You take so much But give so little (??) He takes her downtown, buys her a red dress Branded, [post?] 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 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 violet delights have violent ends These violet 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 the fool, I know that means nothing to you" My inactivity screams My words are untrue
