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 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 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 head and me remain alone

Underneath my masquerade
A simple man who's so afraid
I try to find a light to guide me home

Momma  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 tragedy

Got to leave my wretched ways behind

Just another lonely broken hero

Picking up the pieces of my mind

Running out of fate and hope and reason

I'm running out of time  running out of time

I'm running out of time  running out of time

Underneath my masquerade
A simple man who's so afraid

Faith alone has guided me
A ghost of my own destiny
