You were ahead of the curve
before it was popular.
Before we knew of the sub-culture
you were telling me the stories.
Until it saw it for myself…
thought it was all in your mind
I think I know what you mean when you say you feel “alive”.
It’s OK
if you like Pain.
It’s OK
If it makes you feel better.
People thought you were strange
(and so did I).
I couldn’t help but wonder
what was making you smile.
Now we know about legions
who’ve adopted this style.
I think I know what you mean when you say you feel “alive”.
It’s OK
if you like Pain.
It’s OK
If it makes you feel better.
Now the lines are blurred
and the wires are crossed.
Did you offer yourself
and what did it cost?
Was your father to blame?
Was your mother involved?
This is the sweet mystery that nobody can solve.
It’s OK
if you like Pain.
It’s OK
If it makes you feel better.
