Down to Earth (2001) www.ozzyasylum.com Gets Me Through I'm not the kind of person you think I am I'm not the antichrist or the iron man I have a vision that I just can't control I feel I've lost my spirit and sold my soul Got no control I tried to entertain you the best I can I wish I started walking before I ran But I still love the feeling I get from you I hope you'll never stop cause It gets me through-yeah It gets me through-yeah The feelings that I hide behind Sometimes reality's unkind The nightmare starts for me at night I dread the long and lonely nights I'm not the kind of person you think I am I'm not the antichrist or the iron man But I still love the feeling I get from you I hope you'll never stop cause It gets me through-yeah I'm just trying to live-yeah (repeat) Facing Hell You made a promise of protection To a future after life To the final resurrection Until eternal paradise But then I'm blinded by temptation Into every mortal sin Is it God that sits there waiting Or will the darkness suck me in? Let's wake up the dead (Oh yeah) It's better than never, ya know More tears are shed I'm praying that you'll never know That I'm facing hell Oh the children sit and listen, the belief was in their eyes In a land with no tomorrows, through the night you hear their cries But then your eyes just skip the pages of a book that never ends Is it God that sits there waiting Do you hear the call again? Let's wake up the dead (Oh yeah) It's better than never, ya know More tears are shed I'm praying that you'll never know That I'm facing hell It's just a crazy world we live in and I'm out of my mind You'll pray tomorrow but you're leaving today Evil one is coming and he's knocking on your door Cause today is the day you pay Let's wake up the dead (Oh yeah) It's better than never, ya know More tears are shed I'm praying that you'll never know That I'm facing hell Dreamer Gazing through the window at the world outside Wondering if Mother Earth will survive Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime After all, there's just the two of us And here we are still fighting for our lives Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time I'm just a dreamer-I dream my life away I'm just a dreamer-Who dreams of better days I watch the sun go down like everyone of us I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign A better place for those who will come after us this time I'm just a dreamer-I dream my life away, oh yeah I'm just a dreamer-Who dreams of better days Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ It doesn't really matter much to me Without each other's help, there ain't no hope for us I'm living in a dream, a fantasy Oh yeah, yeah, yeah If only we could just find serenity It would be nice if we could live as one When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be gone? I'm just a dreamer-I dream my life away I'm just a dreamer-Who dreams of better days, okay I'm just a dreamer-Who's searching for the way, today I'm just a dreamer-I dream my life away Oh yeah, yeah, yeah No Easy Way Out Looking to the mirror from the other side Seeing your reflection and a ghost of mine Trying to deny it but the damage is done Under sergeant's orders But the race is run You've got to tell me it's over now I'm trapped inside of a dream The crushing weight on my shoulders now Is bearing down and it seems There's just no easy way out No easy way out Read your daily fiction Superman is dead Crushing pounds of silver Imitating lead Then if he will fix it Children of the past I guess it isn't welcome Doesn't time move fast? You've got to tell me it's over now I'm trapped inside of a dream The crushing weight on my shoulders now Is bearing down and it seems There's just no easy way out No easy way out Night and the shadow of man This is the dawn of the dead Don't let it live in your head And then now as the Sabbath begins It wakes your nightmare again So run away if you can, so just run, run as fast as you can You've got to tell me it's over now I'm trapped inside of a dream The crushing weight on my shoulders now Is bearing down and it seems There's just no easy way out Too late to tell me it's over now Falling apart at the seams No angel sits on my shoulder now I hold my head and it screams There's just no easy way out No easy way out That I Never Had All these tears that I cry Don't you wonder why? Is it all a dream? Never what it seems Get under my skin Should I let you in? Don't you think it's bad To give me something that I've never had Every word I say Everytime I pray Look into my eyes Distant voices cry Is the light in me Tell me what you see You weren't what I had Can't get something that I've never had Can't get something that I've never had Should I think tomorrow? Oh Should I live for just today? Take the light that burns inside you Let it burn away Let it burn away Let it burn away Will I see the day? Will I have to pay? What's inside of me? You will never see Won't you let me in? Don't you let me see? Do you think I'm mad? Cause I want something that I've never had Cause I want something that I've never had Give me something that I've never had Give me something that I've never had You Know... (Pt. 1) Tried to be your father Things just made it harder Sorry if I made you cry Years turned you against me Heart was always aching And I never thought you'd say goodbye I could have been wrong You know... I should have been strong You know... (That'll do-Ha ha ha!) Junkie You're coming down badly You're crippled inside A rat in your sewer You've got no place to hide A gut-wrenching fever Addicted to death You don't give a fuck if it means your last breath You try so hard to quit but you'll never admit You're the junkie There's no reasoning-why? Cause the mirror don't lie You're the junkie You crave for the needle to stick in your vein Can't wait for the poison to kill all the pain You buy a cheap ticket to take a short ride That beautiful flower is eating your mind You try so hard to quit but you'll never admit You're the junkie There's no reasoning-why? Cause the mirror don't lie You're the junkie Your name means nothing-You don't know the score Body is aching-you still crave for more Sometimes you wish that you'd never been born Tormenting came with a crown full of thorns You're chasing the dragon, you're chasing the high A bird with one wing who's still trying to fly You're all out of spirit-a dead man alive A born again junkie-you'll never survive You try so hard to quit but you'll never admit You're the junkie There's no reasoning-why? Cause the mirror don't lie You're the junkie Junkie... junkie... junkie... Running Out of Time Been around this world so many times 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 destany I haven't even got a soul to sell All the thing I put me through I wouldn't wish my hell on you You'll never know what's going on inside 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 Trouble always seems to find A way to live inside my mind My haunted hell and me remaim alone Underneith my masquerade A simple man who's so afraid I try to find a light to guide me home Mama, please just hold me tight Feeling so afraid tonight Cause you're the only one that really knows 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 tradgedy Got to leave my wretched ways behind 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 (In background) Underneith my masquerade A simple man who's so afraid Faith alone has guided me The ghost of my own destiny Picking up the pieces Running out of time Black Illusion You load the dice and paint the smile upon your face With fingers crossed you switch the perfume with the mace What kind of dreams do you enjoy inside your bed? I'll face the lies that take the evil from your head Black illusion is all I ever see Black illusion, I'll bring you misery Oh yeah Yeah You always seem to know the answer to it all You seem to cheat the truth and never take the fall Your life is hollow and you simplify the rules The time will come when you will join the other fools Black illusion is all I ever see Black illusion, I'll bring you misery Oh yeah Yeah I load the dice and fake a smile upon your face With fingers crossed I switch the perfume with the mace What kind of dreams do I enjoy inside my bed? You'll face the lies that shake the evil from my head Black illusion is all I ever see Black illusion, I'll bring you misery Oh yeah Yeah Alive A child of a broken mind The fear that I hide beind I hate rejection-It's the worst-It greatly hurts me Living inside my head I feel like the living dead I need your affection-It's the best-It greatly helps me With my back against the wall Trying so hard not to fall Guess I'm tired of sleeping around Hopeless-in dispair-don't know if I'm here or there Feeling like I'm up when I'm down But I'm still alive I don't have any place to go, anywhere You know I'm alive I know I'm crazy but I still like it here Well I'm still alive I don't have any place to go, anywhere I don't want to die A head full of tragic schemes What keeps me alive is dreams I dream that someday I'll find the key that sets my mind free You may think I've lost control The man with the broken soul I'm not here to try and make excuses-just believe me With my back against the wall Trying so hard not to fall Guess I'm tired of sleeping around Hopeless-in dispair-don't know if I'm here or there Feeling like I'm up when I'm down But I'm still alive I don't have any place to go, anywhere You know I'm alive I know I'm crazy but I still like it here Well I'm still alive I don't have any place to go, anywhere I don't want to die You know I'm alive You know I'm alive Can You Hear Them So sick and tired of living and so afraid to die I've lived so many lives and still I wonder why The way the world perceives me is not the way I am The one half thinks I'm crazy, the other thinks I'm mad I spent a long, long time alone in my room I need your help to get me out of this gloom Can you hear them? All the voices in my head... they freak me out Can you hear them? They won't be happy til I'm dead... they freak me out Ten thousand million nightmares Temptation by the score I used to get so high and still I wanted more You think my time is wasted in search of who I am I tried so hard to kill the boy inside the man I spent a thousand years, one night in my room I've lived so many lives and that is my doom Can you hear them? All the voices in my head... they freak me out Can you hear them? They won't be happy til I'm dead... they freak me out I never thought I'd smile again Always thought I'd be here on my own Sometimes when I'm down, you come and save me again And again and again and again I'll never understand it-it makes no sense at all Just look at what I've done-it's time to count the score I spend a long, long time alone in my room I need your help to get me out of this gloom Can you hear them? All the voices in my head... they freak me out Can you hear them? They won't be happy til I'm dead... they freak me out
