Fiend
Ozzy Osbourne · Other Songs - Ozzy Osbourne
can you see the real pig in the mirror
revenge you breed
I hate your skeletons
Beggin to get out
one by one, dont let your secrets get out
keep it in the brain dead circle
this is you, create a new fantasia
cause it beats hating yourself, hating yourself
you came first
in to mind known
to feel unkind
blind by what we're showing
known to feel unkind
Violet pretty show your face
your always fiending so you crave
laying the dumb ones down
you love the thrill of the chase
this is you,
I laid you down
then walked on you
Torrid binge's bit you throughout misery
for two i'm choking on your sweetness
I took Fifteen from you
and you'll never get this back
truly disgraceful dont you know
your not the lucky one
you cant promise me you didnt know
promise me you'll know
