Pleasure_Pain



Pleasure_Pain


I always seek for the highest Joy

Always want the utmost Pleasure

Ever crave the most delight

It must be the greatest Treasure



Sometimes I like to feel the Anguish

The feel of the hard cold falling rain

I sometimes long to be afflicted

With the harshness, and the pain



Oh I will have my highest pleasure

Oh I will stand here in the cold hard rain

Oh I will have my greatest leasure

Oh I will have the harshest pain
