"This world got a whole lot stranger then even I thought it might get." |
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 |
- Ozzy Osbourne, Running Out of Time. |
The loneliest people are the kindest. |
The saddest people smile the brightest. |
The most damaged people are the wisest. |
All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do. |
- Unknown |
