I heard this song and I suddenly thought of Rosalie. She's one of my favorite characters, and she deserves a songfic, you know what I mean, Jellybeans? It's her thinking about all the humans she sees. Please Review!!
A/N: I don't own Rosalie Hale or Everybody's Fool. They belong to Stephenie Meyer and Evanescence. weep
Prefect by nature
Icons of self-indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
never was and never will be
Have you no shame
Don't you see me?
you know you've got
Everybody fooled.
Of course we are perfect. Godly in our perfection. Self-indulgent, stand-offish rich brats, you think. More, more, more lies. You can't see how weak these lies are, lies about this world we've put into your heads. Have you pathetic humans no shame, no dignity left in your frail bones? What a disease you all have, your blindness to our agony.
Look, here she comes now
Bow down
and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now I know she
never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got
Everybody fooled.
You gawk at us out of the corners of your beady eyes. You stare at us like we are strange, dangerous jewels. We are perfect, flawless. You are so simple. You can't see how we're pretending, so caught up in this brilliant play yet unable to believe it ourselves. I used to believe. I used to. But now I know. I know that the perfect woman I was to become never was and never will be. You have no idea how fate betrayed me. How pathetic life is to me now. And yet, somehow, I have all of you fooled.
Without the mask
Where will you hide?
Can't find yourself
Lost in your lie
I desperately hide myself, hoard my secrets to my breast like a miser. Without my mask, where will I hide? I'm lost in this act. I'm drowning in it, like a sea of blood. I try to force my head up, to break the surface, to breathe, but when I do, you are there, staring at me, drinking my air.
I know the truth now
I know who you are
and I don't love you anymore
It used to be a fascination of mine, your fascination of us. But now I see that we are nothing but trinkets, baubles, off-handed footnotes in your short, pathetic lives. And that disgusts me. You disgust me, with your cold friendliness and bitter thanks.
Never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me.
And somehow you've got
Everybody fooled
And yet, despite how much I hate you, I keep up the facade. I do it not for my safety, but yours, you pathetic humans. I waste my time protecting you, and you betray me.
Never was and never will be
You're not real and
You can't save me
The possibility of being part of your 'group', your 'scene', is nothing. You daydream of me the way an ant daydreams of a black widow spider. It is a flippant, stray thought, a vague longing to be stronger, but knowing it is impossible. This other me, this one you see, the Rosalie Hale you think you're getting-- she's not real. And she can't save me.
And somehow now you're
Everybody's fool.
You can't be part of us. I walk through the halls with my family walking beside me, and I know. You aren't with us. You're the fools.
