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

America Under Siege

AMERICA UNDER SIEGE - Written by Carroll Bryant



All points bulletin - BEWARE COMMUNIST PLOT!
The president is being held hostage
Decoded message: THE GOOSE GOT CAUGHT!

Phone the senate
Phone congress
Phone the poor bastards wife
Run for reelection
Run for freedom
Run, run, run for your fucking life

War in America
Where do we think it will lead?
Johnny better grab your gun
Everyone is weak

All points bulletin - TERRORISTS ON FIRE
The president is confused
Decoded message: DROWNING IN DESIRE

Phone the voters
Phone the papers
Phone all American friends
Run for cover
Run for Mother
Run, run, run for the very end

Sex in America
Where do we think it will lead?
Unprotected protection
Everything eventually leaks 

And we smile
We smile all the while
All the while 
We invite strangers to dinner
And we smile
We smile all the while
All the while
We burn inside of Hells Kitchen

Drugs in America
Where do we think it will lead?
The homeless sleep in cardboard boxes
Laugh when they can hardly breathe

Our petty thinking
Leads to wishful drinking
Everyone start talking
Solutions start to walking away

Money changes from hand to hand
One of these days the homeless is gonna be
Every single woman and every single man

This is all we need to say

Economy, astrology, biology, scientifically 
Our humanity is in continued need
This is where we live in greed
Where do you think it will lead?

All points bulletin - BEWARE!

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
They dance in the color of your fires embers 

They are the words that you long to write
They are the stories that you need to tell
And so you take them through the travels of your life
They are your heaven and they are your hell

They are your spirit, your lover, and your heart
They are your only true friend
They are your moments, your memories, and your pictures without end
They are the only way you are
And you are the way they could be
They are the art and soul of everything you bleed

So spill your passionate blood on the page
Deliver your frenzy in a more amazing rage
You can't be crazy enough at this stage
The pen is calling
The words are falling into place

This is how the words should go
Make them become art and soul
This is how the words should go 

So spill your passionate blood on the page
Deliver your convictions to the next highest phase
You can't be crazy enough at this stage
The pen is calling
The words are falling right into place

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
They dance in the color of your fires embers 

They are the words that you long to write
They are the stories that you need to tell
And so you take them through the travels of your life
They are your heaven and they are your hell

They are your spirit, your lover, and your heart
They are your only true friend
They are your moments, your memories, and your pictures without end
They are the only way you are
And you are the way they could be
They are the art and soul of everything you bleed

They are the art and soul in you - coming from the world of make believe

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
