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
