Bought Pleasure: A Symphony of Triumphs and Loss

Lyrics

Tides drowned me in luxury

Tides overwhelmed me with materialistic indulgence

On my side, taking it all on me

Despite challenges, I bear the burden alone

And they cry out of their jealousy

Others express bitterness fueled by envy

But I don't care cause life's a dream

Indifferent because life is transient and illusory

Yet in this lonely castle I own

In my isolated fortress

Without a telephone

Devoid of communication tools

Nothing could turn it into home

Unable to transform it into a comforting abode

Ooh, I hold the whole world in my hands

I possess immense power and control

But no one saves it when my shoulders give up

No one intervenes when I am exhausted

Ooh, there's so much wasted love

Abundance of love wasted

I bought my pleasure but forgot my luck

I pursued pleasure but neglected luck

Oh, what a misery

Expressing profound unhappiness

A requiem for my soul

A lament for the state of my soul

Oh, all my victories,

All my triumphs have left room for emptiness

Made space for one more hole

Successes have created a void

Sleep and dream, not like me

Advocating for restful sleep, unlike myself

Who don't needs a scene

Rejecting the need for dramatic scenes

Which sure as hell will feel like

Anticipating a situation that feels like a sudden loss of luster

Everything just fell out of gleam

Everything appears to have lost its brilliance

Wake up and count my stars

Conscious of my blessings before losing emotional resilience

Before I lose my folded heart

Preserving my vulnerable heart

Yet in this lonely castle I own

Still, in my solitary fortress

Without a telephone

Lacking a means of communication

Nothing could turn it into home

Unable to transform it into a welcoming home

Feels like I was born

Feels like I was destined

To make a change in front of every door

To instigate change at every opportunity

Leaving myself

Abandoning my true self

And learn to feed the corpses those people made

Learning to confront the consequences of others' actions

Please catch me quick before I fall

Seeking rescue before succumbing to a downfall

Ooh, I hold the whole world in my hands

I wield tremendous influence

But no one saves it when my shoulders give up

No assistance when I'm unable to bear the load

Ooh, there's so much wasted love

Abundance of love squandered

I bought my pleasure but forgot my luck

Pursued pleasure at the expense of luck

Oh, what a misery

Expressing profound unhappiness

A requiem for my soul

A requiem for the state of my soul

Oh, all my victories

All my triumphs cannot fill the void

Could never close that hole

The emptiness remains unresolved
