Lyrics

Patience runs out on the body The dark side hires another soul Did he steal his fate or learn it? Was it worse then didn't he learn it? Whatever happened to his precious soul control? Like him, I'm tired of trying to heal This tomcat heart with which I'm blessed In destruction, loving swim Must I choose to lose or win? Maybe when I turn bones I will have guessed These are the horns of the dilemma What truth is proof against all lies? When sacred veils before profane The wisest man is deep insane Even the purest of romantics compromise When 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? Or the crime? Never look, but to where the river ends or where the river starts Everything that's in you, use it to be a part Never give your love, my friend Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Learn to leap Leap from ledges high and wild Learn to speak, speak with wisdom like a child Directly to the heart Crown yourself the king of clowns, don't stand with back to wall Never give your love, my friend Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Sun up friend, sun up brother and friend Never look, never look around the bend or check the weather chart Everything that's in you, use it to be a part But never give your love, my friend Unto a foolish heart Unto a foolish heart Foolish heart will touch you all over the land and sea Turn around and blame you for the way things went between Foolish heart will cause you grief, most make you sad The foolish heart is trouble, but foolish heart is worse
