1. Patience runs out on the junkie,
   B5  B5  
   The dark side hires another soul.

   Did he steal his fate or earn it?
   Esus4  E+5  E5    E6  
   Was he force-fed, did he learn it?
   C  C  B5   B5  
   Whatever happened to his precious self-control?

2. Like him, I'm tired of try'n' to heal
   This tom-cat heart with which I'm blessed. 
   Is destruction loving's twin?
   Must I choose to lose or win?
   C  C  B5   E5   E5

3. These are the horns of the dilemma,
   A  A/G#

R: What fixation feeds this fever
   C#m  C#m

   C#m F#m  C#m A

   C#m F#m  C#m A  
   Am I the victim or the crime,

4. 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

R: 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, or the crime?
