Do you know the cost of pleasure? I've tasted it In concentrate But I didn't know That I'd never be the same. That feeling of imbalance Eternally in flux-- Forever pushing for it-- Then falling through it-- Going to those places I could never go But still-- I can't speak of it-- The words burn And I don't know The facts are darkened By the will to survive Because otherwise there would be Nothing But to condemn Paradise.
