| Patience runs out on the junkie
|
| The dark side hires another soul
|
| Did he steal his fate or earn it?
|
| Was he force fed, did he learn it?
|
| Whatever happened to his precious self control?
|
| Like him, I’m tired of tryin' to heal
|
| This tomcat heart with which I’m blessed
|
| Is destruction loving’s twin?
|
| Must I chose to lose or win?
|
| Maybe when my turn comes I will have guessed
|
| These are the horns of the dilemma
|
| What truth this proof against all lies?
|
| When sacred fails before profane
|
| The wisest man is deemed insane
|
| Even the purest of romantics compromise
|
| What fixation feeds this fever?
|
| As the full moon pales and climbs
|
| Am I living truth or rank deceiver?
|
| Am I the victim or the crime?
|
| Am I the victim or the crime?
|
| Am I the victim or the crime, or the crime?
|
| And so I wrestle with the angel
|
| To see who’ll reap the seeds I sow
|
| Am I the driver or the driven?
|
| Will I be damned to be forgiven?
|
| Is there anybody here but me who needs to know?
|
| What it is that feeds this fever
|
| As the full moon pales and climbs?
|
| Am I living truth or rank deceiver?
|
| Am I the victim or the crime?
|
| Am I the victim or the crime?
|
| Am I the victim or the crime?
|
| Am I the victim or the crime?
|
| Am I the victim or the crime, or the crime? |
