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
