Of Unknown Origin

OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Oh no, here it goes again

Placing words upon some paper

Spirit of the pen

I guess I never know exactly what I'm going to say

I only take it line for line until it goes away

Until the next time 

I write about love and hate and all that's in between  

I write about the things I saw and things I've never seen

Now I don't claim to be a brain, but still, just what I find

Is that it comes and goes away and leaves me hanging in my mind

Until the next time 

Oh, if I could only understand it, I could really be free

One of these days I'm gonna have to lasso it

Get control, you know? 

Oh, if I could only really manage it, I would truly be free

One of these days I'm gonna have to channel it

Get control, you know?

Oh no, here it goes again

Translating interpretations 

Spirit of the pen

I guess I never know exactly what I'm gonna say

I only take it line for line until it goes away

Until the next time

I write about philosophy, religion sometimes too
I write about things I've done and things other people might do
Now I don't claim to be insane, but still, just what I find
Is that it comes and goes away and drives me out of my mind
Until the next time

I'm the poetic surgeon

But I don't know where it comes from

It's of unknown origin

Still without explanation 

If perhaps someone can find the answer

Then please inform me 

In hopes that I may get control of it

You know?

 

The Letter

THE LETTER - Written by Carroll Bryant

A feeling tonight came all over me

While I was thinking of you

I asked myself, "Hey, what can it be? And what am I gonna do?"

I had to do something to make me feel better

So I just thought I would write you this letter

I guess we are friends, but could there be something more?

I don't know, but one thing's for sure

Every moment we're apart 

Is every moment of a broken heart

Everyday that you're on my mind

Is everyday such a lonely time

Can't you see that we should be together?

Take my hand and let's sail forever

I guess I'm hoping everything will get better

When I tell you tonight that I love you

In this letter

A feeling tonight came all over me

While I was thinking of you

What would happen if you laughed at me? And what would I do?

Could I handle all of that pain?

So maybe I won't even sign my name 

But I have to do something to make me feel better

So here it is from me, to you, this letter

Every moment we're apart 

Is every moment of a broken heart

Everyday that you're on my mind

Is everyday such a lonely time

Can't you see that we should be together?

Take my hand and let's sail forever

I guess I'm hoping everything will get better

When I tell you tonight that I love you

In this letter

A feeling tonight came all over me

While I was thinking of you

It kind of came on suddenly, but now what do I do?

I don't know but I'm feeling a little better

Ever since I wrote you this letter

I don't want to lose you as a friend

So let me finish with a near perfect end

Every moment we're apart 

Is every moment of a broken heart

Everyday that you're on my mind

Is everyday such a lonely time

Can't you see that we should be together?

Take my hand and let's sail forever

I guess I'm hoping everything will get better

When I tell you tonight that I love you

In this letter

Poetic Design

POETIC DESIGN - Written by Carroll Bryant

Here I am

On the eve of my conception 

In the web of your deception

Deceased? 

I am

With bewildered eyes I find

I am the product of your poetic design 

And I've fallen into the same old "How do you do?"

With nothing more to say except I've fallen for you

And I close my eyes again, and picture your skin

On the tip of my tongue and it's love

There you are

In a world of constellations 

In the heat of your frustrations 

Confused?

I'm sure

With entrapment close behind

You are the product of my poetic design 

And you've fallen into the same old "How do you do?"

With nothing more to say except you've fallen for me too 

And you close your eyes again and become your only friend 

On the edge of a touch and it's love

With a dream to underline 

We are the product of our poetic design

And we've fallen into the same old "What do we do?"

With nothing more to say and even less for us to prove

And the mountains we move 

And the way that we groove

Is the song in our hearts and it's love

With the passing of the time

We find the prophecy of poetic design

And the legend left behind

Is the heart of loves poetic design 

I Need Love Tonight

I NEED LOVE TONIGHT - Written by Carroll Bryant 

All my friends seem to find some girl to share their lives 

Some of them can get so lucky and make them girls their wives 

I myself must face this world and face it all alone 

It's hard to walk all by yourself when you are on your own 

So please don't get up and walk away and find some place to hide

When I start letting out emotions I have kept inside 

I need love tonight 

I need love tonight

Please don't get up and walk away

Don't put up a fight 

Hold me close when we dance and darling, hold me tight 

I am such a lonely man and I need love tonight 

All my friends seem to find some girl to share their lives 

Some of them can get so lucky and make them girls their wives 

I myself must face this world and face it all alone 

It's hard to walk all by yourself when you are on your own

I need love tonight 

I need love tonight

Please don't get up and walk away

Don't put up a fight 

Hold me close when we dance and darling, hold me tight 

I am such a lonely man and I need love tonight

So please don't get up and walk away and find some place to hide

When I start letting out emotions I have kept inside

All my dreams of yesterday have crawled away and died 

I need someone special girl

I need love tonight 

I need love tonight 

I need love tonight

Please don't get up and walk away

Don't put up a fight 

Hold me close when we dance and darling, hold me tight 

I am such a lonely man and I need love tonight 

Desperate Town

DESPERATE TOWN - Written by Carroll Bryant

It's a desperate town at night

And I love to walk beneath the quiet lights

And I think to myself that it's great to be alive

And it's just too bad, and more just so sad

To be all alone and all by myself in a desperate town 

It's just that time of year

When all the leaves begin to die

In their demise they bring us such beauty to an ugly world

And peace to my lonely eyes

Feeling desperate tonight 

And in a real strange way

I get excited by the smell of the air

And I wish that every night could be like the night is right now

Underneath the quiet lights in a desperate town

 

A desperate town

Where you can hang your dreams on hangers 

That dangle from a desperate cloud

A desperate town

Where you can run through it a million times

Over and over

And still you never get nowhere 

But it still doesn't get you down

Because it's such a desperate town

And in a real strange way 

I get involved in the way of its sounds 

And I wish that every night would be just like tonight

Underneath the quiet lights of a desperate town

A desperate town

Where you can hang your dreams on hangers 

That dangle from a desperate cloud

A desperate town

Where you can run through it a million times

Over and over

And still you never get nowhere 

But it still doesn't get you down

Because it's such a desperate town

It's a desperate town at night

As I think to myself

And it's great to be alive

But it sucks to be all by myself tonight

In a desperate town

In a desperate town tonight

 

A Prisoner's Mind

A PRISONER'S MIND - Written by Carroll Bryant

The lights are on and the shadows are starring 

My nerves are jumping out of control

The audience is patiently waiting

They want to find out if I have a soul

The beginning won't end so .....

Go where the wind don't blow

The end won't begin so ....

So go where the wind don't blow

(You know this is all I know)

For heavens sake I am but just one man

My brain is not for your dissection 

For you it must be so hard to understand

In which case, I say, pay no attention

The beginning won't end so .....

Go where the wind don't blow

The end won't begin so ....

So go where the wind don't blow

(You know that I'm going crazy)

I'm trapped all alone

Outside of loves embrace 

With a prisoner's mind I quietly go insane

With my heart and I find I care about no ones name

(You know I'm so blind now)

The lights are on and the shadows are starring 

My nerves are jumping out of control

The audience is patiently waiting

They want to find out if I have a soul

The beginning won't end so .....

Go where the wind don't blow

The end won't begin so ....

So go where the wind don't blow

(You know this is all I know)

Broken

BROKEN - Written by Carroll Bryant

Well, what are you waiting for?

You got what you came here for

A piece of my heart, and part of my soul

Hey, now what is the plan with you?

Now that you got to do what you wanted to do

Tell me please, because I don't know

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

I'm broken in pieces for all the world to see

Scattered in places where I don't want to be

The dark is so unknown and I'm still broken

I'm broken forever and forever I will bleed

Beaten and battered until I can hardly breathe 

The cold is so alone and I'm still broken

Broken, broken, broke

First you won the fight, but then you lost the war

Succumb to a lustful plight

Held victim to wanting more

Secrets that you kept from me

Needs that couldn't be redeemed 

Tell me please, because I don't know

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know - anymore

I'm broken in pieces for other loves to see

Tattered in places with uninvited company

The heart is so unknown and I'm still broken

I'm broken forever and forever this will be

Shattered and shaken until I can hardly see

The heart is so alone and I'm still broken

Broken, broken, broke

Am I still your angel like I was right from the start?

Am I still the angel of your graffiti heart?

You found a way to please me

The nerve - You to release me

You took it

A piece of my heart, and part of my soul

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

I'm broken in pieces for all the world to see

Scattered in places where I don't want to be

The dark is so unknown and I'm still broken

I'm broken forever and forever I will bleed

Beaten and battered until I can hardly breathe 

The cold is so alone and I'm still broken

Broken, broken, broke

I'm so broken, broken, broken ...... broke!

The Other Side Of Love

THE OTHER SIDE OF LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

You talk like you're something 

You act like it's nothing 

To walk up to a lady and pick her up for the night 

You got a hell of an ego 

You try to hide it but still it shows 

Don't you know it'll ruin you for the rest of your life?

You ought to take a look at the other side 

Check out the other side 

Learn about the other side

The other side of love

Take a look at the other side

You can do it 

You can get it right 

If you learn about the other side 

The other side of love 

You say your talk is just confidence 

But it's mistaken to be conceit 

You better stop walking with your nose in the air 

Girls are scared to talk to you 

There's no telling what you will do

You can be so obnoxious but tell me, do you really care?

So you better take a look at the other side 

Check out the other side 

Learn about the other side

The other side of love

Take a look at the other side

You can do it 

You can get it right 

If you learn about the other side 

The other side of love

It's not as hard as you think it is to be kind

To show some respect to the other gender

It's easier than you believe to play hard to get

Hold them gentle and be a little more tender

Make it last forever

Sweet surrender 

Not the same old hit and run routine 

You ought to take a look at the other side 

Check out the other side 

Learn about the other side

The other side of love

Take a look at the other side

You can do it 

You can get it right 

If you learn about the other side 

The other side of love

Dark Thought 2

DARK THOUGHT 2 - Written by Carroll Bryant

You stand alone inside your head

You can't escape your thoughts of death

You try to run but you can't hide

It only takes one suicide 

A legion of many

A legion is waiting for you

From the tongue of the devil

He whispers madly to you

His love is waiting

His love is waiting for you

Your whiskey breath is all you take

A crucifix is there to forsake 

It's not enough to stop your thrills

It only takes the right kind of pills

A serpents fire

A serpents desire for you

From the tongue of the devil

He beats you madly to insane 

His love is trying to find it

His love is trying to find you

You close the door that are your eyes

Cry the tears that say goodbye

Half awake, half alive

Too late now, enjoy the ride

A lesson to many

A lesson to be learned by you

The scent of the devil

It lingers there for you

His love is empty 

His love is empty for you

A legion of many

A legion is waiting for you

From the tongue of the devil

He whispers madly to you

His love is waiting

His love is waiting for you

Dark thought

Fast train

One way

Insane

One thought

No pain

Dark thought is for those who go insane

Dark thought

Fast train

No way out of the fast lane

Dark thought

No pain

Nowhere to go but to insane

A Dead Eagles Love

A DEAD EAGLES LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Whose is this face that haunts me in my mares? 

My dreams?

My oppression? 

Tis that of a dead eagles love that reminds me of my own?

Or a serpents tongue that tickles my remembrance?

To which I cannot say except that of what I believe

And I believe that love cradles the broken heart in its own loneliness 

And puts to rest the fear of its own malice and hatred 

And hatred is its own reflection that cannot be seen by other than its soul

That soul lives in the dark of a different shadow on the face that haunts my religion 

My self unknown is my religion in my nonreligious faith

For what is the meaning of a faith if not a purpose does it serve?

So, the travels of my blood through a highway of veins is destined to become disappointed 

As soon as it discovers its purpose is far greater than its journey

And puts another wrinkle on the face that haunts my mares

The tear becomes my conscience 

My conscience becomes my reality

Reality becomes my face

Mr. Songwriter

MR. SONGWRITER - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Mr. Songwriter, could you write me another song? 

The days have been way too short

The nights are way too long

Mr. Songwriter, could you write me a number one?
It used to be it came so easy

Now it's hard just to get along 

I used to know a singer down in Nashville

He always tried to be the best 

But his talent soon burned out

He ended up like all the rest 

He had a few hits and then he faded away

I sure hope it doesn't happen to me

Without this musical talent I wonder where would I be?

Mr. Songwriter, could you write me another song? 

The days have been way too short

The nights are way too long

Mr. Songwriter, could you write me a number one?
It used to be it came so easy

Now it's hard just to get along 

He's drinking every night down at Maxi's 

Putting down whiskey like water 

He talks about a life that he once had

Everybody laughs and walks away 

Just another crazy man who lost his mind 

Oh, but how I remember him 

He was famous in his time 

Mr. Songwriter, could you write me another song? 

The days have been way too short

The nights are way too long

Mr. Songwriter, could you write me a number one?
It used to be it came so easy

Now it's hard just to get along

MissDamnPerfect27

MISSDAMNPERFECT27 - Written by Carroll Bryant

"I'm addicted to the internet. I'm addicted to the AOL chat-rooms. I'm addicted to her ....."

Well, you're strutting your stuff on the internet

No remorse, no regret 

I got an image of you in my mind and I bet

You're someone I will never forget

The way you talk so free and wild

Makes the man in me cry like a child

I know in my heart it's just the way you are

A digital sky where you're the only star I see

Missdamnperfect, talk to me

Missdamnperfect, can't you see

That I'm sitting on the edge of my damn seat

Missdamnperfect .... please talk to me (again)

Well, you're kicking my ass with everything you say

I should fall in love with you now any day 

I got a thing for you so don't go away

It's a thing for you in the naughtiest way 

The way you chat inside a room

Is leading my heart to it's digital doom

If I kiss you once I will kiss you twice

Looks like I'm staying up all-night (again)

Missdamnperfect, talk to me

Missdamnperfect, can't you see

That I'm sitting on the edge of my damn seat

Missdamnperfect .... please talk to me (again)

Anticipation is my only friend right now

My exclamation is nothing but a hungry WOW!

Anticipation is my only thing right now

My emoticon is nothing but a goddamn ....... 

I have to meet you somehow ..... 

The way you talk so free and wild

Makes the man in me cry like a child

I know in my heart it's just the way you are

A digital sky where you're the only star I see

Missdamnperfect, talk to me

Missdamnperfect, can't you see

That I'm sitting on the edge of my damn seat

Missdamnperfect .... please talk to me (again)

The Proposal

THE PROPOSAL - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I like the way you walk into a crowded room

And every eye known to man turns and looks at you

I like the way it feels when you are next to me

And to know I'm the guy every guy wishes to be

And you know they do

Want to be standing next to you

I'm the one who can't believe 

That you're the one standing next to me

You know it's true

I do really love you

I like a gentle breeze on a sunny summers day 

In a field underneath a lazy tree

I like the way you hold my hand and kiss me endlessly 

And I like the words of love that you always speak to me

And you know I do

Want to always be with you

And I really just can't believe

All the things that life has given me

You know it's true

It has given me you

And I really like the hopes and dreams

That you have given me 

I really do love you

I like the way you think with your mind

I like the  tenderness you offer me at night

But what I really love above all else in this life

Is the chance for me to ask if you would like to be my wife? 

I'm on my knees

And yes, it's true

I want to spend the rest of my days here with you

Forever and for the whole world to see

You with me

You know it's true

I do really love you

And you know it's true

That I want to marry you

It's all I think about and everything I dream

You with me

You know it's true

I do really love you

Heart Of Stone (Invisible Tomb)

HEART OF STONE (INVISIBLE TOMB) - Written by Carroll Bryant 

You have got a heart of stone

And I can't leave your memory alone

What can I say?

What am I to do?

I guess I could have a heart of stone like you

Yes, I guess I could have a heart of stone too

You have no idea of what it is that I am going through

If you did you would be here 

Making me feel like a love struck fool

If I fly away tonight would you fly with me?

We can put our history to past

If I danced in candlelight would you dance with me?

We could find a way to try and make it last 

But you have got a heart of stone

And I can't walk away from this love all alone

What can I say?

What am I to do?

I guess I could have a heart of stone like you

Yes, I guess I could have a heart of stone too

If I made my bed would you help me mess it up?

You can take forever to answer me

If I was some juice would you gladly drink me up?

You can take a lifetime to tell me

You have no idea of all the fears I feel are coming true

If you did you would be here

But instead I'm trapped inside an invisible tomb

If I fly away tonight would you fly with me?

We can put our history to past

If I danced in candlelight would you dance with me?

We could find a way to try and make it last

You have got a heart of stone

And I can't leave your memory alone

What can I say?

What am I to do?

I guess I could have a heart of stone like you

Yes, I guess I could have a heart of stone too

 

Silence Of The Heart

SILENCE OF THE HEART - Written by Carroll Bryant 

We came a long, long way

So why this sudden intimate breaking up point of time?

There's nothing left to say

So cry a tidal river sea 

There's nothing left of you and me 

Silence of the heart

Where did it go, what we felt inside? 

Do we know why it's died?

Now we play the part

Of two fools who tried their best 

Both of whom failed the test and watched it slipped away 

There is no tomorrow

Only today

We came a long, long way 

I guess we tried to talk

But frustrations gravity was weighing heavy on you and me

I guess we tried to think it through 

But our minds were playing dead

Our hungry souls were never fed

Silence of the heart

Can it change? Don't bet on it

We gave up, had to quit

And now we play the part

Of two fools who walked away

Turned the corner, refused to stay

There is no tomorrow

Only today

We came a long, long way

Tried and true 

You lost me and I lost you

Time too slow

We came and went 

And watched each other come and go - Away

And it's tearing me apart

Silence of the heart

Where did it go, what we felt inside? 

Do we know why it's died?

Now we play the part

Of two fools who tried their best 

Both of whom failed the test and watched it slipped away 

There is no tomorrow

Only today

There is only today 

We came a long, long way - To say goodbye 

Petrified

PETRIFIED - Written by Carroll Bryant

They're sending me postcards from somewhere on the moon 

Asking me to visit them real soon

They're a spooky kind of people, but they don't understand

I live my life nothing shy of a simple man

Come take a ride aboard this crazy train

Where you can fly through the skies and fall like the rain

It blows my mind, but it's driving me insane

And it touches my heart 

I'm petrified 

They're sending me signals from somewhere up in space

Asking me to describe my face

They're a curious kind of people, but they can't comprehend 

I live my life alone and I don't want another friend

Come take a ride aboard this crazy train

Where you can hide your feelings and lose what you gain

It's all right, but it's causing me some pain

And it eats at my heart

I'm petrified 

And when they dial my number I pretend I'm someone else

I wonder if they'll ever figure it out?

And in my peaceful slumber I hear them talking to themselves 

I wonder if they'll ever figure me out?

They're sending me postcards from somewhere on the moon

Asking me to visit them real soon

They're a scary breed of creatures, but they don't understand

I live my life nothing short of green eggs and ham

Come take a ride aboard this crazy train

Where you can fly through the night and fall like the rain

It blows my mind, but nothing will ever change 

And it touches my heart

I'm petrified

Come take a ride aboard this crazy train

Where you can hide your feelings time and time again

No need to fight as it is your only shame

And it eats at my heart

I'm petrified 

And it's all that I got ..... I'm petrified 

Graffiti Hearts

GRAFFITI HEARTS - Written by Carroll Bryant

We keep running this race

Somehow we got it in our heads

We got to finish in first place

With a finger on the trigger

We are prepared to eliminate 

The prophets spread the word

Somehow we got too busy in our lives

And I don't think that we heard

How can it be we multiply our pain?

In a world we invented and intended to be sweet

Somehow I tend to start believing that I don't agree

This isn't the way your king intended for it to be

And then at times I get my doubts

Is he even watching us at all?

You have to die in order to get out

Meanwhile, they watch you crawl

I still can't figure out how to solve this crazy case

Have you ever held the hand of god?

Have you ever seen his face?

Sometimes I think that we're all insane

On the verge of breaking down

And the air that we breathe is a game

Where the objective is "Don't you dare make a sound"

In our hand, the book

We keep turning the pages

Reading what we already read

And I think that is a shame

From our very own guidance, we're already dead

Then at times I get so crazy

Does he even really care at all?

And how can I expect to get even

If the writing isn't on the wall

I still can't figure out how to leave without a trace

Have you ever held the hand of god?

Have you ever seen his face?

Are we having too much of a good time?

Such a good time we easily disregard 

Can we change what we can't learn?

And can we do it without graffiti hearts?

Are we getting too much of a good thing?

Such a good thing we try too hard

Can we save what we can't earn?

Or are we playing with a stacked deck of cards?

Can we do it without graffiti hearts?

We keep running this race

Somehow we got it in our heads

We got to finish in first place

With a finger on the trigger

We are prepared to eliminate

And then at times I get my doubts

Is he even watching us at all?

You have to die in order to get out

Meanwhile, they watch you crawl

I still can't figure out how to solve this crazy case

Have you ever held the hand of god?

Have you ever seen his face?

Have you ever held the hand of god?

Have you ever really seen his face? 

Everybody Knows

EVERYBODY KNOWS - Written by Carroll Bryant

You got the power in the palm of your hand

Is there something to prove to use as a lesson?

What is fair?

What is wrong?

What is in the truth?

Is purgatory invading your somnolence? 

What the heart takes, the heart breaks

Everybody knows

When the secret doesn't keep it

Promises show

And it doesn't take a genius to figure it out 

To keep it is to believe in it and everybody knows

Your questions need answers for you to understand

Is the seed of love so hard of a problem?

What is there?

What is seen?

What is in the news?

Is happiness causing your disunity? 

What the heart takes, the heart breaks

Everybody knows

When the secret doesn't keep it

Promises show

And it doesn't take a genius to figure it out 

To keep it is to believe in it and everybody knows

The magic is living on the tip of your tongue 

Is there something constructive to do with your mind?

What is where?

What is up?

What is going on?

A rainbow in the heart is your picture of love

What the heart takes, the heart breaks

Everybody knows

When the secret doesn't keep it

Promises show

And it doesn't take a genius to figure it out 

To keep it is to believe in it and everybody knows

What the heart takes, the heart breaks

Everybody knows

When the secret doesn't keep it

Promises show

And it doesn't take a genius to figure it out 

To keep it is to believe in it and everybody knows

You got the power in the palm of your hand

Is there something to prove to use as a lesson?

Not a cloud in the sky
Oh darling, what a wonderful night last night

Touching, kissing

You know this is true

Take it or leave it

You can't believe it

Has justice really gone this bad?

It's the saddest day in every way

And freedom has been all but bagged

The price that you're paying

Well, you're not saying

I suppose the truth is still there

But it's the way that it's done that is leaving you stunned

Are you the only one who cares?

This is America the great

It stinks in here, I have to say

This is a Yankee Doodle place

There's nothing left but a lonely face 

This is America the great

It has become a pure disgrace

This is a Yankee Doodle thing

There's nothing left to brag about 

Love it or leave it

You can't conceive it

Has everyone just gone insane?

The power of the people cannot develop 

While the government keeps playing its games

Too much red tape to investigate

And the flag can no longer wave

It's the way of the new land you ignorant young man

Just slaves right to your graves

This is America the great

Too bad you can't make your escape

This is a Yankee Doodle date

With another communist face

This is America the great

Come on in, you know you're late

This is a Yankee Doodle drink

Without your hat it's hard to think

Uncle Sam is on the rise my friend

Telling lies again

The way it always is and has always been

Father time has left our side again

Can't face the bitter end

The way it always is and has always been

And will again

Take it or leave it

You can't retrieve it

The thought of it just gets you down

 It's the constitution of the new revolution 

That keeps on coming back around

This is America the great

It stinks in here, I have to say

This is a Yankee Doodle place

There's nothing left but a lonely face

This is America the great

It has become a pure disgrace

This is a Yankee Doodle thing

There's nothing left to brag about

Nothing left to sing about

Sycamore Street

SYCAMORE STREET - Written by Carroll Bryant

You touched my heart

Blew kisses in the wind

And it felt like love

Then I close my eyes again

You were the lucky one

And I thought about all the things that we done

Reason seems to try and run

At the touch of a hand

I thought you would understand because I don't

The house is empty still

It's a curse that some believe

And I know that it was wrong

To go back to Sycamore Street

You were the lonely one

And I thought about the way that it was

Things seem to come undone

At the touch of a hand

I hoped you would understand because I don't 

And the memories seem to come

It's a curse that some believe

And I know that it was wrong

To come back to Sycamore Street

And I know that it was wrong

Walking away from Sycamore Street

You were the lucky one

And I knew you well when we were young

Reason seems to be so dumb

You were the lonely one

And I thought about all the things that we done

Reason seems to try and run

At the touch of a hand

I wanted you to understand because I don't

The house is empty still

It's a curse that some believe

And I know that it was wrong

Walking away from Sycamore Street

And I know that it was wrong

Walking away from Sycamore Street
