Once upon a time, there lived these two people, on the top of a penthouse, on the top of a hill. Their names were Adeline and Ari, and they were absolutely obsessed with each other.
Infatuated, even.
They lived in the shadow of pure love.
Adeline and Ari, they weren't so nice to each other
I'm sorry, guess I got you fooled
It didn't have to end on such a tragic fragile note
They fell right into the abyss of love
And it didn't come as a surprise, when another man snatched Adeline away and married her. He gave her flowers, dresses, riches, anything a girl could ever want! But often, a ring will choke your heart.
Honor one another above yourselves.
Fly so high, a pretty star
That shone too bright and cold
Bell toll as our birdy sings
To fool herself
Ari boy, Ari dear! Where have you been
You swore you'll always stay right here
He lifts her chin, she holds onto the shadow
That clipped her wings from the very start
Well, Ari looked at her, then laughed. She always saw him in her sleep, watching from above. And he always knew there wouldn't be another way. You see, nothing good exists in Ari's world, just failures of society, greed, lust, money, power. I'm not sure they can ever truly love.
Adeline and Ari, both birds in a flame
It's a story we could never change
Keeps his distance to watch her disappear
She doesn't see him but he's always here
Adeline and Ari, they weren't so nice to each other
It's okay, he will always have her
They lived in the top of a broken penthouse
They fell right into the abyss of love
