Midnight Rhythms

MIDNIGHT RHYTHMS - Written by Carroll Bryant

The radio is sending out midnight rhythms

Night owl people all seem to listen

The music is medicine, and it keeps you from breaking

As the world today seems to keep on taking

Double the amount of your energy

Holding you in capativity

Wringing you out to dry, and no one call tell you why

Your dreams keep dancing off in the shadows

Heartbreaks happen, lovers seem to let them

But the music is medicine, and it keeps you from falling

As the world today seems to keep on calling for

Double the amount of futility

Holding you in responsibility

Leaving you out to die, and no one to help you cry

Keep sending me midnight rhythms 

Keep sending them

I will listen

Keep sending me midnight rhythms 

Keep sending them

I will listen to them

The people keep saying that you're just playing

Tears are dropping

Your soul can't stop them

But the music is medicine that keeps you together

As the world today seems to keep on forever to

Double the amount of your worrying

Rush you more into hurrying

Setting you out to fly

Say I love you then they say goodbye

You're on your own again

When no one seems to understand

You're lost

You're confused

You have something that you have to prove

You're trapped

You're confind

Losing your senses

Losing your mind

Keep sending me midnight rhythms 

Keep sending them

I will listen

Keep sending me midnight rhythms 

Keep sending them

I will listen to them

Take A Journey

TAKE A JOURNEY - Written by Carroll Bryant

I was led by a God to take a trip

To free the princess of Marrakki

I was asked to kill the dragon 

The dragon of death

I was told to destroy evil demons that I'll face

And with the sword of final justice

To put the evil in its place

So it's goodbye

I'll say goodbye

Goodbye

I'm going to 

Take a journey across the world 

To never, never land

I'm going to

Take a journey across the world

I hope you will understand

I was told not to worry

And that my faith would get me through

To free the princess, and to do
Whatever I have to do

Just to see her back with her people

Who needs her oh, so bad

And with some dwarfs for my army

To fight the army of Preogatrad 

So it's goodbye

I'll say goodbye

Goodbye

I'm going to 

Take a journey across the world 

To never, never land

I'm going to

Take a journey across the world

I hope you will understand

So don't you worry princess

Now please don't you fear

I'm on my way 

Travel everyday

Until you see me there

To free you from the dragon of death

I'm going to 

Take a journey across the world 

To never, never land

I'm going to

Take a journey across the world

I hope you will understand

Have Faith In Love

HAVE FAITH IN LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant

You got a sorry look in your eyes

Like you're wanting to say goodbye

But if you go I know I'lll cry

And baby, that's no lie

You're talking like you're leaving me

Is there something that you can't see?

Oh how I need you so desperately 

So stay here with me

You got to have more than lust

You got to have more than trust

You got to have some faith in us

And have faith in love

What you're saying just can't be true

If you leave then what will I do?

Please don't tear our world in two

Because darling, I love you

You walk away like it's easy

Oh honey, I'm bleeding

Please girl, believe in me

Honey please don't leave

You got to have more than lust

You got to have more than trust

You got to have some faith in us

And have faith in love

Cry, Cry, Cry

CRY, CRY, CRY - Written by Carroll Bryant

He lets his past get the better of him

He lets it, he lets it

She needs more than a lover, she needs a friend

She needs it, she needs it

He acquired some fears he never used to have

He detects some sadness inside of her laugh

Cry, cry, cry, 

Cry inside

Cry, cry, cry

Love has died

Jealousy has taken control of him

Taken control, taken control

She never gave up her soul to begin with

Never gave it up, never gave it up

He's never been this far before, afraid of falling down

Sometimes she makes him feel like dirt on the ground

Cry, cry, cry

Cry inside

Cry, cry, cry

Love has died

Cry, cry, cry

They can't survive

He's letting the love take over his life

He lets it, he lets it

I bet she never wanted to be his wife

She didn't, she didn't

He's starting to let go, there's no need to try

She's not asking questions because she knows why

Cry, cry, cry

Cry inside

Cry, cry, cry

Love has died

Cry, cry, cry

Cry inside

Cry, cry, cry

They won't survive

Statue Of Love

STATUE OF LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Gallantly we wander through life's everlasting pain

Shadows are cast out into the night

Love is to be like a statue

It should stay in one place and not travel about

And on our moments of doubt

Will they stars ever keep their shine?

Will the sun and moon ever meet in time?

To me, you were the statue

The statue of love

Now you are the gypsy that epitomizes loneliness 

I wonder if you really care

Then other times, I care not an ounce

To comprehend this feeling for you

Is to consider suicide by way of boredom

Without positive signs from your heart

I am encouraged to do nothing

Was it necessary to lie to me?

Then tell the truth when it was much too late?

What sense does that make? 

What rhyme?

Flourished feelings expel into many different directions

You are the murderer of my heart

You will pay the price someday

Your glitter will fade

Just like your face

And your memories

If you fail to heed the warnings of the wind

The outcome will shock you

Even shake you 

And break you from your own spell

I did my best for you

Loved you

Cared for you

Held you

I stayed in the truth of my light

But your heart is too young

Your mind too confused

Your soul too lonely from abuse

I will wait for time to pass

You will become a statue again

Not of love, but as you lie in death 

In your coffin

From a disease that hasn't any cure

Vanity

Your love for yourself is distorted 

And perverted

It is the only true love you may come to ever know

And that love is tainted with lies

And greed

At least it will be a statue for you

A statue of love

Man Searching For Life

MAN SEARCHING FOR LIFE - Written by Carroll Bryant

He's alone

Traveling down the golden road

On his way to his destiny

 

He's alive

Young and yet still growing old

Playing Russian Roulette with his memories

He is a man searching for life

Looking beyond hemispheric skies of blue

Just a man searching for life

And if you didn't know what life was all about

Wouldn't you?

He's a fool

Born with such a belligerent mind

Finger on the trigger that is steady all the time

He's so cool

Greater than the denominator 

Lesser than half the whole

He is a man searching for life

Looking beyond hemispheric skies of blue

Just a man searching for life

And if you didn't know what life was all about

Wouldn't you?

He's waiting for the twilight zone like a dog 

Waiting for a bone

All of the things he knows will go

And no one will ever know

Watching the days unfold one by one

The moon kisses the sun and so

Time trickles down to everyone 

Except to those who are all alone

He is a man

Just a man 

From another land

He is a man searching for life

Looking beyond hemispheric skies of blue

Just a man searching for life

And if you didn't know what life was all about

Wouldn't you?

Living To Die

LIVING TO DIE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Where has it all gone to?

Somehow I know I have lost control

The will to live is gone from my soul

Staged in a righteous battle

How can I expect to survive?

Knowing that I am living to die

Drowning in my memories

Pondering my childhood past

I know the future wasn't made to last

The reaper is waiting from which I can't hide

Knowing that I am living to die

Is there no one to come and save me?

Stranded on earth in a world full of worries

Tormented by the life that I'm going through

Living to die is me, just like you

How can it be over?

Did I just give it up?

The wear and tear is just way too much

Confronted with religions of hungry parasites

Knowing damn well I am living to die

Is there no one to come and save me?

Stranded with hurt and a world full of maybe's

Haunted by a life with each day I go through

Living to die is me, just like you

Living to die is me, and sure enough you

Nothing's Happening

NOTHING'S HAPPENING - Written by Carroll Bryant

Lying alone in my bed

Nothing's happening

I've been going out of my head

Nothing's happening

Is it that I've been gone for too long?

I spent all of my time with you

Now you're there, and I'm all alone

What's up? What's new?

I don't know

Breathing alone in the dark

Nothing's happening

Worried about my weak heart

Nothing's happening

Could it be that we're growing old?

See the lines on our face

In a world that can be so, so cold

Freezing in the bed, this place

Oh, no

Nothing's happening

Lying alone in the night

Nothing's happening

Wondering what's wrong and what's right

Nothing's happening

Give it some time for once in a while

Will you ever bother coming around?

Make me a promise that you'll cramp my style

Or run it straight right into the ground

There is no sound

Nothing's happening

Why Don't You Ever Tell Me You Love Me?

WHY DON'T YOU EVER TELL ME YOU LOVE ME? - Written by Carroll Bryant

Why don't you ever tell me you love me?

Why don't you ever tell me you care?

Why don't you ever tell me you need me?

(You need me)

Why, when I've always been there?

By your side that's where I'll be

Tending to your every need

But now I know that you're gonna leave

You haven't said it yet, but, I know you will

Why don't you ever tell me you love me?

Why don't you ever tell me you care?

Why don't you ever tell me you need me?

(You need me)

Why, when I've always been there?

It's gone, that feeling you had

I never thought it would hurt this bad

But now I can see that it's all over

You haven't left yet, oh, but when you do

Why don't you ever tell me you love me?

Why don't you ever tell me you care?

Why don't you ever tell me you need me?

(You need me)

Why, when I've always been there?

So I'll try to pick up the pieces 

And my heart? Well, it can erase

And so it is best for us to say goodbye

Baby release me, oh, please let me go

Why don't you ever tell me you love me?

Why don't you ever tell me you care?

Why don't you ever tell me you need me?

(You need me)

Why, when I've always been there?

Why, when I've always been there?

The Dark Side Of Love

THE DARK SIDE OF LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

She lives her life from day to day

She won't let anything stand in her way

She overcomes all that she can

 

She's been hurt many times before

She knows just when to close the door

She says she'll never fall in love again

 

She's living on the dark side of love

And she'll never give her heart up

Unless what she feels is real

And if what she feels is real

She'll be a steal

She'll be a steal

 

He lives his life from day to day

He won't let anything stand in his way

He overcomes all that he can

 

He's been hurt many times before

He knows just when to close the door

He says he'll never fall in love again

 

He's living on the dark side of love

And he'll never give his heart up

Unless what he feels is real

And if what he feels is real

He'll be a steal

He'll be a steal

 

So what makes them go through life alone?

When together, they could be living as one

And why is it taking them so long?

They keep looking for a love

A love that just won't come

They're still living on the dark side of love

 

They live their life from day to day

They won't let anything stand in their way

The overcome all that they can

 

They've been hurt many times before

They know just when to close the door

They say they'll never fall in love again

 

They're living on the dark side of love

And they'll never give their heart up

Unless what they feel is real

And if what they feel is real

They'll be a steal

They'll be a steal

 

They're living on the dark side of love

I Would Give You My Life

I WOULD GIVE YOU MY LIFE - Written by Carroll Bryant

I have thought a lot about it

And I decided that I need you

I can't go on without it 

All your precious love

Yes I know how you feel

And you know how I feel too

And if you asked my darling

This is what I would do

I would give you my life

I would make it right for you

Give you all I had

Just so I could help you see life through

Why do our feelings have to be oh so hard to control?

And are they true?

All I know my darling is

I would give my life to you

I never could imagine 

I would ever feel this way

I'm sorry that it happened 

I wish there was something I could say

Yes I know how you feel

And you know how I feel too

And if you asked my darling

This is what I would do

I would give you my life

I would make it right for you

Give you all I had

Just so I could help you see life through

Why do our feelings have to be oh so hard to control?

And are they true?

All I know my darling is

I would give my life to you

Blood On The Mountainside

BLOOD ON THE MOUNTAINSIDE - Written by Carroll Bryant

You

You cheated on me

You ruined all of our plans deliberately 

You masterminded all of your schemes

You destroyed all of our dreams

There's blood on the mountainside

There's blood on the mountainside 

There's blood on the mountainside 

Of my heart

I

I was a fool

To ever to have believed in you

I was lucky to realize

That you were wearing a clever disguise 

There's blood on the mountainside

There's blood on the mountainside 

There's blood on the mountainside 

Of my heart

No, I couldn't go through it again

The pain's too much to endure

If it's only gonna have to end

Then what is true love for?

We

We were just fooling

Everybody including ourselves

Love was the tool we were using

From heaven did it start then descend into hell

There's blood on the mountainside

There's blood on the mountainside 

There's blood on the mountainside 

Of my heart

Can't Lose You

CAN'T LOSE YOU - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

I saw you in my dream last evening

You were running down a dark lonely beach

I saw you running up to him girl

You were out of my reach

 

I cried out but you couldn't hear me

I saw my world fall apart

I saw what looked like lightning from the sky

It shot right through my heart

As I thought

 

Can't lose you tonight

It's not right

Can't you lose you tonight

Not to someone like him

Can't lose you tonight

It's not right

I can't lose you, baby

I just can't lose you

 

And so I thought about it, baby

For a long, long time

This whole thing is getting crazy

I must be losing my mind

 

Even if it's true now baby

I won't let you go

I don't care much about tomorrow

Just as long as you know

That I love you

 

Can't lose you tonight

It's not right

Can't you lose you tonight

Not to someone like him

Can't lose you tonight

It's not right

I can't lose you, baby

I just can't lose you

 

I cried out but you couldn't hear me

I saw my world fall apart

I saw what looked like lightning from the sky

It shot right through my heart

As I thought

 

Can't lose you tonight

It's not right

Can't you lose you tonight

Not to someone like him

Can't lose you tonight

It's not right

I can't lose you, baby

I just can't lose you

The End (Suicide In America)

THE END (SUICIDE IN AMERICA) - Written by Carroll Bryant

Alone in your room

You're stoned again
Thinking of the bad things in your life

And everybody owes you to help you get it right

To make it through the night

Well, that's the way you like to see it

And suicide's the way you want to end it

Your thoughts are blurry visions and can't be seen

Still one can see them on their television screen

You only tell them what you want them all to know

What you think it is they want to hear

You hide so deep inside of your depression

Inside your shell just like a tortoise

It's the only way that you can deal

It's the only way that you can feel

A helpless little stoner

Alone in your room

When it comes to reason, it can only be your way

And your way is the only way you can see it

And suicide is the way you choose to end it

Isn't it your way?

Don't do this to me, yourself

So goodbye to my mother and my father

Sorry if my life was such a bother

You know that I know that you don't love me

Or really need me

Look on the bright side, you don't have to feed me anymore

Maybe that explains why you tried to help me

To save me from myself

To save me from my hell

The only thing that's free is my falling

The only thing that leaves is my calling

The only thing that breathes is the truth that hides behind the lies

The only thing I leave is my own youth

And the tears that people cry

The only thing that matters is nothing anymore

So goodbye to my mother and my father

Sorry if my life was such a bother

You know that I know that you don't love me

Or really need me

Look on the bright side, you don't have to feed me anymore

Maybe that explains why you tried to help me

To save me from myself

To save me from my hell

The only thing that matters is nothing anymore

The Power Supreme

THE POWER SUPREME - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

Love is as love does

Love is as love was

Love is the power supreme

 

Love is you and me

Love is being free

Do you know what I mean?

 

Do you know what I mean?

 

The power supreme is love of the soul

Like a flower, you can watch it grow

Do you know what I mean?

Love is the power supreme

 

You can't deny my love is true

I only feel, feel for you

Holding you tight is my ultimate dream

In my arms of love

Love is the power supreme

 

Dangerous liars of the devil's blessing

Tossed in a bowl, and covered with salad dressing

But love has no mortal disguise

You know what my heart means

Love is - and has the power of life

Love is the power supreme

In The Beginning

IN THE BEGINNING - Written by Carroll Bryant

I remember on a Sunday afternoon

I woke up with the drunken man blues

The night before was spent with another stranger

I went to a party that day with some friends

That's when I guess it all began

This relationship between you and me girl

I saw you there in that low lit bar

My heart was beating fast and hard

I must admit at first it was just physical

In the beginning 

You were just another girl

Now you're a part of my world

And I can't let you go, oh no

In the beginning

You were just a fantasy

Now you're my reality

And I love you so

I eyed you out every night

I had this feeling growing inside

How I wanted to meet the woman that I longed for

We started dancing and feeling our way

At first we didn't have that much to say

But after every dance I wanted you more and more

Days started passing

We were growing into one

You started teaching me how to love and have fun

In the beginning 

You were just another girl

Now you're a part of my world

And I can't let you go, oh no

In the beginning

You were just a fantasy

Now you're my reality

And I love you so

Now we're together, and it's going to last

I'm finally beginning to forget my past

I'm looking towards the future

You and me forever

In the beginning 

You were just another girl

Now you're a part of my world

And I can't let you go, oh no

In the beginning

You were just a fantasy

Now you're my reality

And I love you so
