The Perfect World

THE PERFECT WORLD - Written by Carroll Bryant

When in the middle of your life you start to get that feeling

And the changes that you make ain't right

Don't get down on believing

You know you got to punch it out

Sometimes we argue

Sometimes we fight

Just because it's a little off base doesn't mean that it's not right

You know that you are living in the perfect world

The perfect world is never very far

You know that you are living in the perfect world

The perfect world is there, right where you are

It's coming up behind you

Yeah, it's gonna find you

And you can't deny that it's a perfect world

When in the prime of your life the load becomes a burden 

Unlike some fools, find the tools 

And go and start your garden

You know you got to get it right

Sometimes we argue

Sometimes we fight

Just because we're running out of grace doesn't mean that we can't try

You know that you are living in the perfect world

The perfect world is never very far

You know that you are living in the perfect world

The perfect world is there, right where you are

It's coming up behind you

Yeah, it's gonna find you

And you can't deny that it's a perfect world

Sometimes we argue

Sometimes we fight

Just because we can't figure it out doesn't mean we will die

You know that you are living in the perfect world

The perfect world is never very far

You know that you are living in the perfect world

The perfect world is there, right where you are

It's coming up behind you

Yeah, it's gonna find you

And you can't deny that it's a perfect world

And you can't deny ...... that it's a perfect world

Possession Of Your Love

POSSESSION OF YOUR LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant

All my life I've been straight

I was raised to always do good

But somehow things seemed to change

And something happened that I never thought it would

I got arrested for possession 

For possession of your love

Yes I got arrested for possession 

For possession of your love

My heart is simply pounding 

And to say the least, I'm so amazed 

To be honest, I'm so astounded 

By this love for you that I crave

I got arrested for possession 

For possession of your love

Yes I got arrested for possession 

For possession of your love

So indict me, and convict me 

Throw the book as far as you can

I got no lawyer to defend me

I lost this case, and now I'm a guilty man

I got arrested for possession 

For possession of your love

Yes I got arrested for possession 

For possession of your love

Say Anything

SAY ANYTHING - Written by Carroll Bryant

The cold chill bites straight into the bone

Tonight again, I sleep all alone

With you on my mind I find out

That's just the way it goes

A secret thought keeps haunting at my brain

In the middle of the night I call your name

So many times someone's tried to plant a seed but

Nothing ever grows

In a whistle, you came into my life

Causing controversy with my feelings inside

Can't walk away when it feels so right

Can't walk away .... Can't walk away

You can say anything you want to

You can say anything that helps me to fall in love with you

Say anything, and take away this pain

Say anything .... Say anything

The movie starts, and then I leave my seat

I like it better walking the city streets

With all of these changes I'm trying to work it out but

I'm still missing the show

Touch you once and I want to touch you twice

It's so hard to back out from a good fight

Round for round, I wonder who's keeping score?

But what it is, no one really knows

In a whistle, you steal my beating heart

Like an actor who's waited to play the part

Can't walk away now that it started

Can't walk away .... Can't walk away

You can say anything you want to

You can say anything that helps me to fall in love with you

Say anything, and take away this pain

Say anything .... Say anything

You can say anything you want to

You can say anything that helps me to fall in love with you

Say anything, and take away this pain

Say anything .... Say anything

The cold chill bites straight into the bone

Tonight again, I sleep all alone

Can't walk away when it fits into my soul

Can't walk away .... Won't walk away

You can say anything you want to

You can say anything that helps me to fall in love with you

Say anything, and take away this pain

Say anything .... Say anything

You can say anything you want to

You can say anything that helps me to fall in love with you

Say anything, and take away this pain

Say anything .... Say anything

Say anything ..... Say anything

Make The Bed

MAKE THE BED - Written by Carroll Bryant

I know that sometimes with feelings

Emotions can go stray 

It's been so long since I felt any love

In the love making that we make

Sometimes it seems as if it's a touch

And every now and then inside our kiss

It's the passionate fire of our passionate desire, girl

That we used to have, that I miss

Take it all for granted? Well, maybe we do

But before I'll admit that what we have is through

Let's make the bed in which we lay

Say the words that I know we want to say

I don't want you to go so baby, won't you stay?

And help me make the bed in which we lay

If it's just a matter of some kind of doubt

Then let us find a place where we can stand

Sometimes, some things, can be turned around

Body to body, and woman to man

To know what you want and then to wonder

Is confusion that is stored away from the start

To say that it's a spell we both are under

Is to play dangerous games with the heart

Hanging on a clothes line, and wait just to dry

Isn't gonna stop the fucking tears that we cry

Let's make the bed in which we lay

Say the words that I know we want to say

I don't want you to go so baby, won't you stay?

And help me make the bed in which we lay

How many times are we gonna fight

Before we have to realize

How many fits are we gonna throw tonight

Before one of us walks out that door unsanitized

Let's make the bed in which we lay

Say the words that I know we want to say

I don't want you to go so baby, won't you stay?

And help me make the bed in which we lay

Make the bed in which we play

 

Right In The Palm Of My Hand

RIGHT IN THE PALM OF MY HAND - Written by Carroll Bryant

Battered and beaten, I've been mistreated 

But maybe that's just how it goes

Same old sad story, I lost all the glory

Somebody said it still shows

I gave you my heart, you tore it apart

How could you just walk away?

You know it still hurts, it's gonna take a lot of work

To make everything all okay

I trusted you

You busted me

I yearned for you

You burned me

Where did you go to because I use to have you 

Right in the palm of my hand

Why did you leave, baby, I still believe

Baby, I don't understand

Take what you're given, there's no sense in living

You gave me back all of the pain

Know what you're after, I still hear laughter 

Or maybe I'm going insane

Was loving you

Were hating me 

I lived for you

You had to kill me

Where did you go to because I use to have you 

Right in the palm of my hand

Why did you leave, baby, I still believe

Baby, I don't understand

I don't understand 

You were right in the palm of my hand 

And I trusted you

You busted me

Was loving you

Were hating me

I yearned for you

You burned me

I lived for you

You had to kill me

Where did you go to because I use to have you 

Right in the palm of my hand

Why did you leave, baby, I still believe

Baby, I don't understand

I don't understand

I had you there

Right in the palm of my hand 

Where There's Love

WHERE THERE'S LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Everybody now and then has to taste a little sin

For every time you lose, remember, someday you're gonna win

There's many a people out there putting on a show

And I don't claim to be a brain, but there's one thing that I know

And I know

In the middle of the darkness there's a light that I can see

Where there's love there's gonna be you and me

I can see the vision as it appears inside my dream

Where there's love there's gonna be you ... there's gonna be me

Everybody now and then has to settle in for the ride

And even though you can't take the wheel doesn't mean you have to run and hide

There's many a people out there living without a soul

A thief can take anything they want, but can't take what I know

And I know

In the middle of the darkness there's a light that I can see

Where there's love there's gonna be you and me

I can see the vision as it appears inside my dream

Where there's love there's gonna be you ... there's gonna be me

Everybody's got to play that game where there isn't yet any rules

Everybody's got to feel the pain inflicted by the fools

I'm waiting here for you ... to come true

In the middle of the darkness there's a light that I can see

Where there's love there's gonna be you and me

I can see the vision as it appears inside my dream

Where there's love there's gonna be you ... there's gonna be me

Can't Fight Your Memory

CAN'T FIGHT YOUR MEMORY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Reading the paper - oh, no, what's this? I can read your name

And I see your picture

Your lovely face

Oh, it's still the same

And baby, then I notice, oh no girl, you finally changed your name

Well I guess

Yes, I guess

I guess that I'm to blame

Because I let you go when I was still in love with you

But now I know that I was just a great big fool

Oh no,  can't fight your memory

I can't fight your memory now

Oh no, can't fight your memory

It's getting to me somehow

Oh no, can't fight your memory 

I can't fight your memory now

Me and you baby, we had something good

Thinking about the past

Long time relations 

Was so afraid it was gonna last

I never felt sadder than this before 

I guess the pain will go away

Time to forget you again, somehow, someway, someday 

And yes I know

It was I who let it all go when I was still in love with you

And yes I know

I was just a great big fool

Oh no,  can't fight your memory

I can't fight your memory now

Oh no, can't fight your memory

It's getting to me somehow

Oh no, can't fight your memory 

I can't fight your memory now

Bat Out Of Hell

BAT OUT OF HELL - Written by Carroll Bryant

Swiftly traveling through my dreams

Blood is traveling through my veins 

I picture a war between love and hate

There's no time like the time to die

I conjure up a thought or two

Ascend to destruction between me and you

Lies, disbelief, then stories become true

There's no time to spend to cry

Suddenly it hits me

Emotions that dare to exist 

One time to go crazy

Too weak to resist (it takes me)

Like a demon soaring into the night

Watching his prey and needing to take a bite

There's no one to run to and nothing more to share

Spread your wings and take to flight

Reveal no names to gain that precious blood of life 

A ride through an evening like a bat out of hell

Calling up the devil

A secret to be shared

Red eyes to haunt you

A tongue of fire that flares 

Catch a spirit in a dark and cold domain

Wait to hear it calling out his name

No shame

Kill, kill, kill and watch the blood spill

Kill, kill, kill, and watch the love heal 

Kill, kill, kill, and take a death pill

Kill, kill, kill, Just kill me - just thrill me

Feel me out then watch the blood spill

Suddenly it hits me 

Emotions that dare to exist 

One time to go crazy

Too weak to resist (it takes me)

Like a demon soaring into the night

Watching his prey and needing to take a bite

There's no one to run to and nothing more to share

Spread your wings and take to flight

Reveal no names to gain that precious blood of life 

A ride through an evening like a bat out of hell

A bat out of hell, a bat out of hell 

Feel me out then watch the blood spill

Kill me!

 

Gideon's Survival

GIDEON'S SURVIVAL - Written by Carroll Bryant

You can't stop trouble when it's coming after you

Roll with some punches

Pop some balloons 

You got to meet it straight, a head on collision 

You can run, but you can't hide

Is that what they're saying?

If you hide then you can't run

It's a real tough situation 

You can't stop people from doing their thing

Running red lights

Acting so strange

You got to look away to another direction

You can think, but you can't say

Is that what you're doing?

If you say then you can't think

It's a real tricky decision 

Gideon's survival is based upon the bible 

That he carries dearly in the palm of his right hand

The world just goes to pieces but he never releases

The pages of the golden word, and I don't understand

What goes through the mind of Gideon? 

What kind of time lives Gideon?

You can't change punishment that goes way too far

Roll up your sleeves

Smoke Cuban cigars

You got to face the here and now with no more excuses

You can laugh, but you can't cry

Is that what they're meaning?

If you cry then you can't laugh

And that will leave you screaming

Gideon's survival is based upon the bible 

That he carries dearly in the palm of his right hand

The world just goes to pieces but he never releases

The pages of the golden word, and I don't understand

What goes through the mind of Gideon? 

What kind of time lives Gideon?

You can look, but you can't touch 

Is that what you're thinking?

If you touch then look away

It's enough to start you drinking

Gideon's survival is based upon the bible 

That he carries dearly in the palm of his right hand

The world just goes to pieces but he never releases

The pages of the golden word, and I don't understand

What goes through the mind of Gideon? 

What kind of time lives Gideon?

What goes through the mind of Gideon? 

Is it such a crime to be like Gideon?

Don't Call Me Up

DON'T CALL ME UP - Written by Carroll Bryant

There is a problem that I can visually see

This might hurt feelings, if so, then it's just the way

It has to be

You know I like your touch

I love your love so much

Physically you're capable

Emotionally stable

And yet your coming around all the time is for the birds

You're like a monkey on my back, girl

So listen to the word

Don't call me up no more, no more

Don't call me up, girl

Don't call me up no more, no more

Don't call me up

The other night when out dancing a friend wanted to say hi

But she saw you hanging all over me

She just walked on by

You know I need my time

I only want what I find

Physically you're sensual

Emotionally inspirational

But you're sticking just like glue

What am I to do?

It's like a rock and a hard place

What more can I say?

Just don't call me up no more, no more

Don't call me up, girl

Don't call me up no more, no more

Don't call me up

It's driving me crazy

Because you're a wonderful lady

But I got others on the side

And I'm not gonna hide it, baby

Just don't ... call me up

Just don't ... call me up

No more, no more

Don't call me up no more, no more

Don't call me up, girl

Don't call me up no more, no more

Don't call me up

Shadows

SHADOWS - Written by Carroll Bryant

In my mind I'm racing

Just living on the edge

I don't think too much about it

You have the spirit of survival

I can feel it when we touch

I don't think too much about it

I'm calling out for something

All I hear amounts to nothing

I don't mind the crazy sound

And I'm the kind of guy who doesn't want to be found

But will the shadows ever find me?

I want to leave them all behind me

Don't want the shadows to find me

Hold me close tonight and make me feel alive

I hope the shadows don't find me

Will you find a place to hide me?

Don't want the shadows to find me

So turn out the light and love me so right tonight

In my heart I'm burning

Just taking care of business

I don't really think about it

You have the soul of sweet surrender 

I can see it in your eyes

I don't really think about it

I keep reaching out for something

I only keep getting a handful of nothing

I don't mind what goes around

I'm just the kind of man who doesn't want to be found

But will the shadows ever find me?

I want to leave them all behind me

Don't want the shadows to find me

Hold me close tonight and make me feel alive

I hope the shadows don't find me

Will you find a place to hide me?

Don't want the shadows to find me

So turn out the light and love me so right tonight

I'm calling out for something

All I hear amounts to nothing

I don't mind the crazy sound

And I'm the kind of guy who doesn't want to be found

In my mind I'm racing

Just living on the edge

I don't think too much about it

You have the spirit of survival

I can feel it when we touch

I don't think too much about it

But will the shadows ever find me?

I want to leave them all behind me

Don't want the shadows to find me

Hold me close tonight and make me feel alive

I hope the shadows don't find me

Will you find a place to hide me?

Don't want the shadows to find me

So turn out the light and love me so right tonight

The Possession (Writer Of The Night)

THE POSSESSION (WRITER OF THE NIGHT) - Written by Carroll Bryant

Holy sweet persistence 

I'm running out of time

Damn you sick insistence 

I'm going out of my mind

Who's that, that I talk to?

It's just another white sheet

My life is only limited

Life is what I must beat

Writer of the night

Some call it obsession 

Writer for my life

It's only possession 

Writer for the fight

Caught between a dream and oblivion 

Writer is my wife

Spirit of the possession 

Maker, taker, inventor 

I am the creator

Shaker, breaker, isolator 

I am the destroyer 

Loner, toner, gonner

I am the deliverer 

Power, hour, sour

I am the devourer 

Sickness only dwells in the mind of the insanity

Evil's only hell in the pockets of your poverty

I am only one or maybe I am more

Could be nobody at all

Or maybe I am four

Tell me, Mr. No One

Is it me or my name?

Show me a proper way

Is it real or a game?

Who's that, that I talk to? 

It's just another blank face

It tears right across my soul

And then drifts out into space

Writer of the night

Some call it obsession 

Writer for my life

It's only possession 

Writer for the fight

Caught between a dream and oblivion 

Writer is my wife

Spirit of the possession

Downer, frowner, clowner 

I am the get arounder

Leader, bleeder, needer

I am the more free'er

Loser, bruiser, boozer

I am the morning snoozer

Higher, flyer, tighter

I am the all-nighter

Writer of the night

Some call it obsession 

Writer for my life

It's only possession 

Writer for the fight

Caught between a dream and oblivion 

Writer is my wife

Spirit of the possession

Only In The Bed

ONLY IN THE BED - Written by Carroll Bryant

You take your punches

You take your swings

You’ll try anything to get your way

But don’t you dare take it out on me

If that’s your foreplay

Then one, two, three, bring it on

Tough is the new way to go

I might be your bitch, but baby, I’m not your ho

Only in the bed can you hurt me

Only in the bed is it love

Only in the bed can you hit me

Only in the bed do I like it rough

Only in the bed

Slap me as hard as you can across my face

Let me watch your love bleed from my skin

I can take everything that escapes

I can take everything that you give

You take your punches

You take your swings

You’ll try anything to get your way

But don’t you dare take it out on me

If that’s your therapy

Then one, two, three, bring it on

Tonight is the new way to be

I might be your victim but I won’t concede

Only in the bed can you hurt me

Only in the bed is it love

Only in the bed can you hit me

Only in the bed do I like it rough

Only in the bed

Only in the bed

I’m laying in the bedroom

Laying in the dark room

Laying in the coffin waiting for you

I’m laying in the bedroom

Laying in the dark room

Laying in the coffin waiting for you

I’m laying in the bedroom

Laying in the dark room

Laying in the coffin waiting for ……

You take your punches

You take your swings

You’ll try anything to get your way

But don’t you dare take it out on me

If that’s your foreplay

Then one, two, three, bring it on

Tough is the new way to go

I might be your bitch, but baby, I’m not your ho

Only in the bed can you hurt me

Only in the bed is it love

Only in the bed can you hit me

Only in the bed do I like it rough

Only in the bed can you hurt me

Only in the bed is it love

Only in the bed can you hit me

Only in the bed do I like it rough

Only in the bed

Only in the bed

Only in the bed can you fuck me ‘til I’m all out of love

Words

WORDS - Written by Carroll Bryant

Give me words that I can live with tomorrow

Give me words that I can deal with in times of sorrow

Give me words of happiness

Give me words through a tender kiss

Give me words that are so true because I love you

Being close together was my goal

Dwelling forever in your soul

Lost, but I don't care

I just know that I am there

I can't say when or where 

I just know

Being down and out was my life

Aching for some love all through the night

Found because you're with me

You just right the wrong way need

Love is what I bleed 

I won the fight

Give me words that I can live with tomorrow

Give me words that I can deal with in times of sorrow

Give me words of happiness

Give me words through a tender kiss

Give me words that are so true because I love you

No one needs to know my tender love

Except for you, the one I'm thinking of

Tough because I'm strong

Although the road was long

Time was flying on a wingless dove

Give me words that I can live with tomorrow

Give me words that I can deal with in times of sorrow

Give me words of happiness

Give me words through a tender kiss

Give me words that are so true because I love you

Give me words that are so true

Give me words because I need you

Give me words that are so few

And words that are brand new

Give me words that are so true because I love you

Art And Soul

ART AND SOUL - Written by Carroll Bryant

They come to you as voices in the night

They kiss you sweet in silent whispers

They burn forever in your soul just like a light

Love's Prediction

LOVE'S PREDICTION - Written by Carroll Bryant

When you think that something isn't what you knew

And what you thought you saw you didn't really see

Then you tell yourself there has to be a trick to this

And then you throw away your logic, never to believe

It sounds like love to me

It sounds just like the way love ought to be

With my psychic powers

I predict a dozen flowers

Happiness, and all the things that love can only do

With my psychic powers

I predict some April showers

Of everything that's wonderful and true

And with my psychic powers 

I predict I'll fall in love with you

When you hope for something to be real and touchable

And what you want won't come to you as easy as you wish

Then you tell yourself this has to be something so unbelievable 

As nothing else has ever made you feel so quite like this 

It sounds like love to me

It sounds just like the way love ought to be

With my psychic powers

I predict a dozen flowers

Happiness, and all the things that love can only do

With my psychic powers

I predict some April showers

Of everything that's wonderful and true

And with my psychic powers 

I predict I'll fall in love with you

Just like magic in your hands

It's so hard to understand

Hard, maybe yes, but not impossible to do

It's just a grand illusion that trys to cause confusion

Quicker than the eye, you see

And still you try to prove it to be

Something that the mind can see

It is such a natural art

Love bleeds from the heart

And my heart is designed to win the heart of you

For my love is true

When you think that something isn't what you knew

And what you thought you saw you didn't really see

Then you tell yourself there has to be a trick to this

And then you throw away your logic, never to believe

It sounds like love to me

It sounds just like the way love ought to be

With my psychic powers

I predict a dozen flowers

Happiness, and all the things that love can only do

With my psychic powers

I predict some April showers

Of everything that's wonderful and true

And with my psychic powers 

I predict I'll fall in love with you

Falling Down

FALLING DOWN - Written by Carroll Bryant

I reach for something higher on the holy ground

I quest for wisdom

I seek eternal youth

There isn't knowledge that the mind hasn't found

I summon angels to feed me the bitter truth

In a world so very, very wicked

I custom made a heart that cannot break

I laugh at Gods, spirits and the people

Only to take it back for heaven's sake

(I'm falling)

Down, down, down

All my hopes are falling

Down, down, down

And my heart is calling out for somebody to love

Save me for once with some love

Can't you see I'm falling down?

I have a reason why I'm inclined to fight with fists

I lust the savage

I hunt artistic beasts

There is no danger elusive to my eloquence 

It's just a feeling to compensate a hearty feast

In a time so very, very distant

I live a life that kings can only dream about

I challenge life to give me one more meaning

And then I'll have a purpose that of which to talk about

(I'm falling)

Down, down, down

All my hopes are falling

Down, down, down

And my heart is calling out for somebody to love

Save me for once with some love

Can't you see I'm falling

Down, down, down

All my hopes are falling

Down, down, down

And my heart is calling out for somebody to love

Save me for once with some love

Can't you see I'm falling down?

In a way so very, very special

I take a chance for life and hope that it's okay

I challenge love to share with me her secrets

And then to justify everything and everyday

I'm falling

Still falling

I'm falling

Still very much you know I'm falling

Down, down, down

All my hopes are falling

Down, down, down

And my heart is calling out for somebody to love

Save me for once with some love

Can't you see I'm falling down?

The Clock Becomes The Bomb

THE CLOCK BECOMES THE BOMB - Written by Carroll Bryant

On the walls of discontent I see

The faces of your memory

A heart of stone can break in two

I'm not quite finished with you

And so I take a real good look around me

Because I am not the way you found me

A debutant in the rain 

Helplessly hiding in shame

It's time to go home

The clock becomes the bomb

I became the thing

You are always here

Survive the winds of change

Cry another tear

I'm leaving it behind

You take what you want

The heart becomes the hell

The clock becomes the bomb

And it's time to go home

In the chance that I see you again

Don't roll your eyes and hold my hand

A heart of glass can cut too deep

I keep losing all my sleep

And so I take a walk around the road

And misinterpret all I'm told

Another lie comes to mind

The fact is you think I'm too blind

It's time to go home

The clock becomes the bomb

I became the thing

You are always here

Survive the winds of change

Cry another tear

I'm leaving it behind

You take what you want

The heart becomes the hell

The clock becomes the bomb

And it's time to go home

So, what is real? What is true?

I'm not quite finished with you

It's time to go home

The clock becomes the bomb

I became the thing

You are always here

Survive the winds of change

Cry another tear

I'm leaving it behind

You take what you want

The heart becomes the hell

The clock becomes the bomb

And it's time to go home

You Tried

YOU TRIED - Written by Carroll Bryant

The winds blow hard

There's an ache in your heart

She's on your mind as you know

That you did hurt her

There's so much pain

Things can't be erased 

You didn't want it to end like this

Love's never an easy ride

But you tried

Yes, you tried

You couldn't live in a lie

And you didn't want to say goodbye

But you tried
Oh, you tried

Yes, you tried

The touch of emotion

Brings lust like an ocean

But her fingers didn't do

What you wanted them to do

There's so much shame

Things will never change

You didn't want it to end like this

But you had it building up inside

And you tried

Yes, you tried

You couldn't live out a lie

And you didn't want to take her pride

But you tried

Oh, you tried

Yes, you tried

What does it mean to lay awake in the night

By yourself and hopelessly you scream

What does it prove to get it on with a stranger 

Who doesn't even know how to satisfy you

You didn't want it to end like this

But you couldn't just run and hide

But you tried

Yes, you tried

You couldn't live in a lie

And you didn't really want to say goodbye

And it was really building up inside

And you didn't want to take her pride

Oh, you tried

Yes, you tried

With every little thing that you had inside

You tried

Yes, you tried

You know you really tried

You tried to save her heart

Spare her from falling apart

Save her from the landslide

But it was all building up inside

But you tried

Oh, you tried

Yes, you tried
