I, The Victim

We live and suffer according to our vision


Of love and choices, romantic indecision


Again, again, the same repetition


We play the game but hate the condition



We make mistakes without resolution


Again, again, we do it to ourselves


We never learn, we scream and we yell


Then walk the streets in a solitary hell



'Tis I, the victim of these self-afflicted wounds


And I'm a victim of these self-afflicted wounds


Tis I, the victim


Victim of a wanderin' heart



We are the victims of these self-afflicted wounds


We cry despair, but ridicule and laughter


Are everywhere, so you better not complain


Spill your guts to an innocent bystander


Pull out your hair, but they laugh in your face



You are the victim of these self-afflicted wounds


'Tis I, the victim of these self-afflicted wounds


I, the victim


Left you shiver in the dark



In crimes of passion we are oh so vulnerable


We can't escape and it is so emotional


And I can't believe, no I can't believe


The devastation that it brings upon us all



I stand convicted, the one who is addicted

The person led to a solitary cell


The judge, jury, cry of fury


Somebody said, "why'd you do this to yourself?"



We live and die according to our visions


Of love and choices, romantic indecision


Again and again, the same repetition


We play with life and we gamble it away



And cry the victims of these self-afflicted wounds


We are the victims of these self-afflicted wounds


'Tis I, the victim


Left you shiver in the dark


We are the victims of these self-afflicted wounds


Yes we are
