Running Out Of Time
Ozzy Osbourne · Down To Earth [2007]
if you could only see my mind
I watch my secret heaven turn to hell.
Faith alone has guided me,
the ghost of my own destiny
I haven't even got a soul to sell
All the things I put me through,
I wouldn't wish my hell on you
you'll never know whats going on inside.
Chorus:
Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of faith and hope and reason
I'm running out of time, running out of time.
Solo: Zakk Wylde
Trouble always seems to find,
a way to live inside my mind
My haunted hell and me remain alone
Underneath my masquerade
a simple man who's so afraid
i tried to find a light to guide me home.
Mama please just hold me tight
feelin' so afraid tonight
'Cause you're the only one that really knows
Chorus:
Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of faith and hope and reason
I'm running out of time, running out of time.
Fighting for my sanity,
many nights of tragedy
Got to leave my wretched ways behind
Chorus:
Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of faith and hope and reason
I'm running out of time, running out of time,
I'm running out of time, running out of time
