Get Off On The Pain

I've seen bullying in my life,
I've been on both sides.
Some people say it's not the place to be,
But I must say...
"I just get off on the pain."
-
Now, it's been a while,
Since anyone's seen the smile
If me getting hit.
And I like the bruises and the scars,
It makes me feel legit.
-
I play football, without the pads.
And I like the fights, and all of thise bloodied lights
-
It's probably why I don't go insane
Because I like the feel of the pain.
After that skin-on-skin
When you catch that grin
And all you'll be able to say is "damn...
He just gets off on the pain."
-
Throw one more punch
And I'll hit the dust.
But get right back up again.
I'll throw one back, and expect rhe smack.
--- (instant silence)---
Of the next one in the chest.
You can't keep me down
No screams will break the silence of the sound
And at the end you'll know,
And I won't have to say,
That I just get off on the pain.
