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

Fire is the life
Mother Earth come and save me
Fire is the wife
Mother Earth come and save me
Oh baby
 
I am the sun
I am the king
All of the universe revolves around me

Found a true, meaning you

Fire is the wife
Mother Earth come and save me
Oh baby
