Crimes Of The Heart

CRIMES OF THE HEART - Written by Carroll Bryant


The morning comes
After an endless night of pain
Still on the run
Your hurt nearly drove me insane
I guess that's just part of the game

You twisted and turned my mind around
Trampled my heart into the ground
My soul has been lost since and never found
Scratching at my brain
Guess I'm just going crazy

Isn't it a shame
How you tore it all apart?
Call it satisfaction
Call it crimes of the heart
Are we the ones who's lucky?
Now we both can make new starts
Call it inhabition
Call it crimes of the heart

The evening comes
After a lonely day is done
Long over due
It's time I grab a little fun
After all, you were the one

You twisted and turned my mind around
Trampled my heart into the ground
My soul has been lost since and never found
Scratching at my brain
Guess I'm just going crazy

Isn't it a pity
How two people fell apart?
Call it temptation
Call it crimes of the heart
Are we the ones who's lucky?
Now we both can make new starts
Call it superstition
Call it crimes of the heart

See the boy? ... He's a fool
See the girl? ... Watch her drool
Is it fair? ... Or is it cool?
Scratching at my brain
Guess I'm just going crazy

Isn't it a shame
How the whole thing fell apart?
Call it annihilation
Call it crimes of the heart
Isn't it lonely
All alone in the dark?
Call it a fantasy
Call it crimes of the heart

Call it like you see it
Call it crimes of the heart

Extra Intelligence

EXTRA INTELLIGENCE - Written by Carroll Bryant


In the state of your bewildered emotion
I play my fingers to your fantasy
In the way that is your sweet devotion
I move my body to your ecstasy

Pick me up and give me
Extra intelligence don’t
Serve me up to be
Another lost experiment don’t
Pick me up
If I’m not inside your thoughts
And kill me
With the meaning of existence
You dance with fever
Touching yourself to pleasure
And to know that
You could be my flavor
And when the promises are broken
How will you deal with me?

Pick me up and give me
Extra intelligence don’t
Lick me up to be
Another kind of condiment don’t
Pick me up
If I’m not inside your thoughts
And thrill me
In the kiss that is the death of me

You can program my untangled emotion
With a secret that you hide from me
And or end it now real quick
With the power you attest

Pick me up and give me
Extra intelligence don’t
Wake me up to put me
Back into my slumber (I’m sleeping) don’t
Pick me up
If I’m not inside your thoughts
And thrill me
If you’re not in love with me

Pick me up and give me
Extra intelligence don’t
Serve me up to be
Another unconnected reality don’t
Pick me up
If I’m not inside your thoughts
And kill me
With the meaning of existence
You dance with fever
Touching yourself to pleasure
And to know that
You could be my flavor
And when the words are spoken
How will you deal with me?

Loves Joan Of Arc

LOVES JOAN OF ARC - Written by Carroll Bryant


"The adventures of love begins with an adventurous heart that is willing to settle for satisfactory memories once the adventure has ended."


Sometimes when sitting alone in the dark
I think of battlefield baby
Loves Joan of Arc

It hurt me deep when she broke my heart
Can't stop thinking about her
Loves Joan of Arc

She came into my life prepared for a fight
Her armor shinning bright
While she held her sword so tight

I was fooled by her crisp and imaginative tales
She slashed my dreams of her and I
Slashed them all too well

I fall asleep to the sound of a broken heart
Collecting vivid nightmares of 
Loves Joan of Arc

Can't stop the pain once the pain does start
Someone help me forget about her
Loves Joan of Arc

I fell deep within her power
Like a communist, my freedom she devoured
I was never to ever see a ray of light again
Glad to see the adventure 
Glad to see the adventure
I'm so glad to see the adventure finally end

Collect the pieces of my clearly broken heart
Send them emergency to
Loves Joan Of Arc

Looking for my angel wings so I may play my harp
Put some flowers on my lonely grave from
Loves Joan of Arc

Please tell me doctor that you can save my desolate heart
Send the bill to battlefield baby
Loves Joan of Arc

Clash of emotions, this is tearing me apart
Can't stop thinking about that girl
Loves Joan of Arc
Loves Joan of Arc
Loves Joan of Arc
 
Loves rebel heart

Pretty Blue

PRETTY BLUE - Written by Carroll Bryant


Working day to day
Don't have the strength to fall in love again
And the people who look my way
Can't see the pain that I'm going through
Then I saw you
You put me in another dimension
You, pretty blue
I've fallen in love with you

Working night to night
Don't have the strength to fight the fight
And the people who wear the paint
Can't see the pain that lives inside of me
Then I met you
You took me to another part of me
You, pretty blue
I've fallen in love with you

Could it be that God has seen
That life has been rough with me
He decided to send me you
Maybe no one else would ever do
Pretty blue
You, pretty blue

The planets took their turn
Giving me a chance to finally learn
How love really feels
You care for me
You told me so
You said you loved me
Now I know
That your words
Aren't rehearsed lines
You say "I love you" all the time
You ease my mind
Can it be true?
You
I love you
Pretty blue
You, pretty blue

I've fallen in love with you

Every Word Tells A Story

EVERY WORD TELLS A STORY - Written by Carroll Bryant


Well, their eyes shine in the darkness
By the moons light, I can see them
They try to hide as they do whatever
And they do whatever does move them

Well, their movements talk to the stillness
And their feet shuffles them away
So I’m happy to say I don’t care where they are going
No attention to that do I pay 
No, no, no, no attention to that do I pay

And every word will tell the story
Of everything that you have heard
You can say it and believe it
Believe it and you know it
And you know it when it sounds so absurd
And every picture paints an image
Of it, something that you have seen
You can take it if you want it
If you want it then believe it
And believing it is what I mean
Oh yes, believing it is what I mean

And every word will tell the story
No matter how strange it may be
You can fiddle, you can faddle
Dribble, doodle and dabble
But it’s always the same to me
And every picture paints an image
Of it, something the mind can only see
If you want it you can have it
You can have it, but believe it
And it doesn’t mean a thing to me

And every word will tell the story
Of something that you have heard
You can say it and believe it
Believe it and you know it
And you know it when it sounds so absurd
And every picture paints an image
Of it, something that you have seen
You can take it if you want it
If you want it then believe it
And believing it is what I mean
Oh yes, believing it is what I mean

Well, their eyes shine in the darkness
By the moons light I can see them
They try to hide as they do whatever
And they do whatever does move them

Well, their movements talk to the stillness
And their feet shuffles them away
So I’m happy to say I don’t care where they are going
No attention to that do I pay
No, no, no, no attention to that do I pay

Stay Away

STAY AWAY - Written by Carroll Bryant


How could you just pretend
Pretend that you didn't know me
When you saw me yesterday

I thought at least we could be friends
Friends can last forever
But I guess you will never think that way so

Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna be
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna treat me
You got a lot to learn
A lot to learn about love
Instead you just burn
You burn hearts and tear them apart so
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna be
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna treat me
You act so immature
So I'm closing the door
And if you're gonna act that way then please
Just stay away

What am I to do
Do now that we're through
I guess I'll have to play it day to day

I thought that I would try
Try but didn't know why
Until you passed me by with nothing to say so

Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna be
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna treat me
You got a lot to learn
A lot to learn about love
Instead you just burn
You burn hearts and tear them apart so
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna be
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna treat me
You act so immature
So I'm closing the door
And if you're gonna act that way then please
Just stay away

It's the dawning of a new beginning
It's time I learned to live
I'm done with letting you do all the taking
It's your turn to give
Because I already gave to you the part I never gave before
But you had to completely destroy me
And leave the pieces laying on the floor

I can't take anymore so

Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna be
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna treat me
You got a lot to learn
A lot to learn about love
Instead you just burn
You burn hearts and tear them apart so
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna be
Just stay away if that's the way you're gonna treat me
You act so immature
So I'm closing the door
And if you're gonna act that way then please
Just stay away

Eye Of The Storm

EYE OF THE STORM - Written by Carroll Bryant


There's a wicked world out there
With so many people who just don't care
All alone and I know it as I'm sitting here

It's a tough situation
And I need a vacation
Try to get away and get my mind clear

Oh, dear

I'm living in the eye of the storm
I need your love to keep me safe and warm
I go crazy from all that this world puts me through
I need someone like you

It's a terrible feeling
When you give up your dreaming
It's all you got that gets you through your day

It can drive you crazy
When you're looking for a lady
Living numb to the sting is the only way

Hey, hey

I'm living in the eye of the storm
I need your love to keep me safe and warm
I go crazy from all that this world puts me through
I need someone like you

Please someone, please
Throw me something to hold onto
A heart,a  soul, it doesn't matter
I'm going under
I need something that's true

I need someone like you

I'm living in the eye of the storm
I need your love to keep me safe and warm
I go crazy from all that this world puts me through
I need someone like you

Mind On Fire

MIND ON FIRE - Written by Carroll Bryant


Alone
At night
I hold my pillow tight
Close my eyes and dream of you

Your face
Has a glow
On the wall it casts a shadow
I guess all of those rumors are true

I guess those rumors are true

I see you dancing in my dreams
I'm not quite sure just what it means
Love has touched my soul
Love is come and go

Mind on fire
In the dead of the night
I get this burning desire
Fire
Smoke filled brain of overloaded wires
Just beyond midnight
Reality fades from sight
Mind on fire

Light
It's dawn
I get up in the morning and yawn
And think about what became of me

Trapped
By a sound
My heartbeat pounds out loud
Realizing to myself I got no place to be

I got no place to be

I see you dancing in my dreams
I'm not quite sure just what it means
Love has touched my soul
Love is come and go

Mind on fire
In the dead of the night
I get this burning desire
Fire
Smoked filled brain of overloaded wires
Just beyond midnight
Reality fades from sight
Mind on fire

Love Is Like Sunshine

LOVE IS LIKE SUNSHINE - Written by Carroll Bryant


No need to talk about the past
Let's leave it all behind
I finally learned at last
It's nothing but lost time

And the world is so much better
When you learn to share it
Sooner or later you find that someone special

Love is like sunshine in my mind
Love is like sunshine all the time
As crazy as it may be
You're starting to get to me
Because when you smile
Sunshine is all I can see

It's funny how life works out
As I sit back and recall
The times when life was so exciting
And the times it's been so dull

But the world is so much better
When you learn to share it
Sooner or later you find that someone special

Love is like sunshine in my mind
Love is like sunshine all the time
As crazy as it may seem
I saw you in a dream
And when you smiled
Sunshine was all I could see

I don't want you to think 
That I'm some crazy man
Trying to steal attention
With just a paper and a pen

Just try and understand
If you would take my hand
I would lead you to that promised land

Of love

Love is like sunshine in my mind
Love is like sunshine all the time
As crazy as it may be
You're doing something strange to me
And when you smile
Sunshine ... is all I can see

Fly away with me

Special Love

SPECIAL LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant


I will see you in the morning
When we wake up together
The love that we share
Feels as light as a feather

And you are so tender
Your touch is so magical
Your eyes sparkle so mystical
Your love is so special

And no, I will never want to wake up
From this special dream
I will always want to spend
My mornings with you

Your presence is so enllightening
Calling out to my magic
Your hair so soft and lovely
Your love is so special

And we have a special love
Like no one has ever seen
I love you
And your special love

She Is Gone

SHE IS GONE - Written by Carroll Bryant


I was the king
She was the queen
Now she is gone
And I'm all alone

I was the man
She was the woman
Now she is gone
And I'm trapped inside myself

Everything seemed beautiful
When I held her in my arms
Now she is gone 
 She ... is gone

Every day goes by
Slower than the day before
How I miss her love
More and more and more

I am only kidding myself
Living in a world of expectations
I got to learn to accept it
And learn about moderation

Everything seemed beautiful
When I made love to her
Now she is gone
She ... is gone

I was the king
She was the queen
Now she is gone
And I'm all alone

When ones spirit flies
Where does it go?
Nobody knows
Only the Lord

The Red Rose

THE RED ROSE - Written by Carroll Bryant


She brought me a flower
Red was the color
It represents love
She loves me

I know somehow she needs me
The red rose told me
It represents love
She loves me

And I love her from the bottom of my heart
No human being could ever
Break us apart
Our love is what keeps us hanging on
And I know she loves me
The red rose told me

She brought me a flower
Red was the color
It represents love
She loves me

I know somehow she needs me
The red rose told me
It represents love
She loves me

Love You Forever

LOVE YOU FOREVER - Written by Carroll Bryant


You came along into my life
So many things were wrong
But you made them right
And you understood
When you took me in
I never thought it could
But life begins again

Girl you showed me just how much you care
I promise that I will always be there

I'm going to love you
Love you forever
This love of mine will last forever
We will always be together
Love you forever

It seems so much like a dream
Who would have believed
That this could happen to me?
You came along at just the right time
I was waiting for someone 
That I could call mine

Girl you showed me how I could really live
I promise I will give you all that I can give

I'm going to love you
Love you forever
This love of mine will last forever
We will always be together
Love you forever

The Morning Sun

THE MORNING SUN - Written by Carroll Bryant


Just like the morning sun
Your eyes shine so bright
Please let me be the one
To make love to you tonight

We will share each dream we can
Going on a special ride
And hope the night will understand
Because the darkness won't be a place to hide

We will keep each others hearts
Wrapped up in each others arms
Where we won't fall apart
Where our love will be safe and warm

Stay with me forever girl
I will stay forever with you
We will soon build a world
Where there will be just us two

Just like the morning sun
Your eyes shine so bright
Please let me be the one
To make love to you tonight

Powers So Wonderful

POWERS SO WONDERFUL - Written by Carroll Bryant


Love
The truest emotion
Love
Never felt so good
She
Is my truest devotion
Like
Just like I hoped she would

And now I can feel no pain
The sky has lighted up again
She's filled the powers so wondeful
Into my heart

There's no escape from the kind of hold she has on me
I can only speculate of the kind of he I used to be

And she is the only star that shines
She would someday like to be mine
So now I fly through the night
Spread my wings and take off on flight
For she has the powers so wonderful
In her heart

There's no escape from the kind of hold she has on me
I can only speculate of the kind of he I used to be

But she has the powers so wonderful
Yes she has the powers so wonderful
She has the powers so wonderful
In her heart
Sweet heart
Sweet love

Life After You

LIFE AFTER YOU - Written by Carroll Bryant


There you are again
I see you every night
Sweat is on my face
And I'm losing the fight

Reaching out for love
That I didn't think I'd need
Used you in every way
Until I decided to leave

Life after you never came like I thought it would
And life after you never began just like I thought it could
It just came to a stop
And my whole life was through
Because there isn't any life after you

The city streets are empty
Just like my lonely heart
Many a few faded shadows
And a world that's torn apart

Gazing at the moon
Trying to regain my strength
I want to stretch myself back to you
I will go to any length

Life after you never came like I thought it would
And life after you never began just like I thought it could
It just came to a stop
And my whole life was through
Because there isn't any life after you

I toil around in ditches
Of a life that just aint there
I meet too many bitches
All of who I know don't care
So yes I'm feeling the pain
Of a past that is insane
Calling out your name but you're not there
You're everywhere

I thought I could live without you

Life after you never came like I thought it would
And life after you never began just like I thought it could
It just came to a stop
And my whole life was through
Because there isn't any life after you

No, there isn't any ... life after you

Last Night She Cried

LAST NIGHT SHE CRIED - Written by Carroll Bryant


Last night, she cried
And I didn’t even ask her why
When she needed me the most
I left just like a ghost
Fading into the night

Yesterday she said
Her heart was all and everything but dead
When she reached out for my hand
My mind didn’t understand
Lingering there instead

There was a moment to the scene
It was all just standing there for me to believe
I froze like a stone of ice
Looking deep into her eyes
Looking deep into a dream

Tomorrow is the time
When I think I know what she will find
Nothing is all you gain
When you throw it all away
A picture so sublime

There was a reason to discard
The feelings of the girl who made me hard
I wilted like a weed
In search of what I need
Like Napoleon Bonaparte

There was the hope of season two
Before the curtain fell right down on you
It’s a road to lay the blame
Like on a runaway train
And you don’t know what to do

Last night, she cried
And I didn’t even ask her why
When she needed me the most
I left just like a ghost
Fading into the night

If I was what she needed least
I could have been a better beast
I would have gave it another try

And last night, she cried

Cold Soul Winter

COLD SOUL WINTER - Written by Carroll Bryant


So this is how it feels
A heart that never heals
A world that never breathes
A hurt that never leaves

So this is who I am
Just a shadow of a man
Just another Ponzi scheme
Just another dead end reverie

There was a time when I thought the job was mine
All I had to do was just show up
Back when I was young and much too dumb
Back into the future of a babies cry

So this is where it ends?
A place full of faceless trends
A house filled with emptiness
A bargain not for sale

So this is what it means?
To hear her silent screams
To know it was all my fault
To bring what was already brought

There was a way I could get them all to stay
With nothing more than a look
Back in the days of unsophisticated ways
Back into the future of a paradox

There was a song that I know I used to sing
Now to only hum the tune
Back in the days of my delirium
Back into the future of girl named June

So this is what it’s all about?
A winter that you can’t get out
A moment in unsheltered eyes
A fragment of unhardened time

There was a road that I always loved to stroll
Where unicorns welcomed trolls
Back in the hope of all isolated fears
Back into the future of an angels tears

So this is how it feels?
A heart that never heals
A world that never breathes
A hurt that never leaves
A dream that never dreams

Painted In You

PAINTED IN YOU - Written by Carroll Bryant


I stare at the clock
Time ticks away
It doesn’t like to leave much behind

Dancing with memories
They always see through me
Looking at life through the blind

Looking at life and I find

That maybe I’m crazy
There’s no explanation
For all the things lost in my heart

There’s too many reasons
Why I can’t believe in
What don’t kill you just tears you apart

What didn’t kill me just tore me apart

She keeps on talking as I keep on walking
Down a road painted in blue
She plays with the blame as the tears fall like rain
Never trusting my lies were the truth
All that she’s after is love and the laughter
I could have given that to you
The pieces all shatter as I watch them scatter
Down a road painted in blue
Down a road painted in you

Damn this cold winter
I don’t understand it
Why it’s so strange in my head

Reliving the moment
You apparently stolen
Right from the warmth of my bed

Right from the place where I bled

She keeps on talking as I keep on walking
Down a road painted in blue
She plays with the blame as the tears fall like rain
Never trusting my lies were the truth
All that she’s after is love and the laughter
I could have given that to you
The pieces all shatter as I watch them scatter
Down a road painted in blue
Down a road painted in you

So maybe I’m crazy
There’s no explanation
For all the things lost in my heart

There’s too many reasons
Why I can’t believe in
What don’t kill you just tears you apart

What didn’t kill me just tore me apart

She keeps on talking as I keep on walking
Down a road painted in blue
She plays with the blame as the tears fall like rain
Never trusting my lies were the truth
All that she’s after is love and the laughter
I could have given that to you
The pieces all shatter as I watch them scatter
Down a road painted in blue
Down a road painted in you
