Hedonist Lyrics

Oh what a point in postponed joy?
In grand refusal of all the pleasures, right and wrong?
I crave all pleasures minus pain
Let's have it my way: let it be no pain, all gain!

Drowning in wine, my cup I refill
Indulging in desires, I crave all the thrill!
Life is so momentary, love is so brief
I bask in delight. My opulence! My gift!

Let it let it be no pain
Let it let it be no pain

Oblivious sleep from dawn 'til sunset
Just indolence and peace. I feast on all of that
Awakening brings hunger, desire's so intense!
Unquenchable thirst for pleasure minus pain

Deprivation in exchange for immortality
Or unlimited resources of ecstasy?
I've killed the fear of death and God
But I am far from standing next to De Sade

I'm not a theorist, I'm an expert
In the science of agitation
I'm a stranger to restrictions
And my purpose to existence
Is to taste all the delicacy of life

The cult of happiness, of pleasure quintessence
Bottomless delight is a natural human right
Of pleasure quintessence! Forget the consequence
Deterrent is an enemy of life

My cup I refill, but the hunger remains
Beyond the thrill a yearning sustains
Now sadness of satiety is bread I'm feasting on
I've been searching for something new
But the margin's never grown

A blessing! A grand curse!
