Pay me in pain

Pay me in pain

I want to feel pain,

For you give me no joy

Avoid and don't complain

Live life as a toy

Your whispers are lies

You tease me with guilt

Charge me with fines

This is how I'm built

You don't care for the future

Only reputation is in mind

Manipulate the moocher

Here, only death you find

Call me to rise from my grave

Strike me down just as before

"Bad things come to misbehaved"

You said as you set my lure

I want to feel pain

But you've set my game

Say I'm still sane

I only want more to gain

And that's why we're here

Sharing sins and gaining fame

We choose where to steer

I'll end up paying through pain

If that's what I want

That's what I'll get

for I'm still human,

Don't you forget.
