Tender Mercies

TENDER MERCIES - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Heaven is just heaven 

I never thought no different 

Angels are just angels 

Salvation takes an effort 

Once I thought that the cause was lost 

But knowing that the love wouldn't be denied

Happiness is well worth whatever cost 

It only goes to show what happens when you try 

Be with you

Forever to be with you 

Love so deep and true 

Tender mercies through and through 

Forever to be with you 

Gracious is just gracious 

I always thought it precious 

Prayers are just prayers 

A savior should always hear them 

Once I thought that the meaning was invalid 

But knowing that the love wouldn't be deprived 

Happiness is well within possibility 

Soul to soul in touch and tears of joy to cry

Be with you

Forever to be with you 

Love so deep and true 

Tender mercies through and through 

Forever to be with you

Be with you

Forever to be with you 

Love so deep and true 

Tender mercies through and through 

Forever to be with you

Once I thought that the cause was lost 

But knowing that the love wouldn't be denied

Happiness is well worth whatever cost 

It only goes to show what happens when you try

Heaven is just heaven

Angels are only angels 

I always thought them precious

Be with you

Forever to be with you 

Love so deep and true 

Tender mercies through and through 

Forever to be with you

Be with you

Forever to be with you 

Love so deep and true 

Tender mercies through and through 

Forever to be with you

 

 

 

Animal Instinct

ANIMAL INSTINCT - Written by Carroll Bryant

It's just animal instinct to watch you crawl

What can you do?

Your best friend just turned on you

Taking you down

Took the lie, sold the truth

There's nothing that you can do

It's just animal instinct to watch you crawl

It's just animal instinct to watch you fall

Going down a road that you heard about

Always being told there's no easy way out

People like to watch you fall

It's just animal instinct to watch you crawl

The word is out and it's so bizarre

Nobody even tries to find out who you are

Your dreams become fallen stars

Break your heart

Love has captured you

It becomes big news

Because you're living in what no one believes in

They locked you up

Inside a prison of junk 

Then they turn around and take you down

It's just animal instinct to watch you crawl

It's just animal instinct to watch you fall

Going down a road that you heard about

Always being told there's no easy way out

People like to watch you fall

It's just animal instinct to watch you crawl

Nobody seems to ever really give a damn

You're a lonely clam

You're just dangerous to their master-plan

Your heart is brought out into the middle of the field

The haters take aim with their guns for a thrill

You better not think that you won't get killed

Because you will

But you don't think you'll ever die

The world tries to shut your mouth

Intentions turning sour and some going south

This isn't what life is supposed to be about

You are the star that shines

Nobody can see that you are the perfect dime

You are the star that shines

In their eyes you are the beggar

They might just take your life

Take everything away

It's not a conspiracy if what you think is true

So lay there on the iron bed

While angels sing inside your head

No tears will fall when you are dead I dread

You know the truth

You are the youth

And the light of the biggest love shines in you

What can you do?

Your best friend just turned on you

Taking you down

Took the lie, sold the truth

There's nothing that you can do

It's just animal instinct to watch you crawl

It's just animal instinct to watch you fall

Going down a road that you heard about

Always being told there's no easy way out

People like to watch you fall

It's just animal instinct to watch you crawl 

It's just animal instinct

Wizard

WIZARD - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Something keeps hanging on your mind 

It's trying to blow you away 

I'll admit sometimes I can be out of line

But tomorrow may end any day

Who dat?

I don't know

I guess I really don't care

Jump back

Too slow

Visions form everywhere

Come talk to me 

I got the power to set you free

I want you to know what I can be

I'm the wizard of your fantasy

You may not believe in the magic 

Power almost needs to be revealed

I'll admit sometimes I can be dramatic

There's not a lot of emotions left to feel 

Who dat?

I can't say

You should already know

Oh snap

Let's play

Visions come and visions go

Come talk to me 

I got the power to set you free

I want you to know what I can be

I'm the wizard of your secret dreams

My presence can be Divine 

It's just a game I like to win

I admit things all the time

Just to say I did 

And I did

And I did

I'd do it again and again 

Something keeps hanging on your mind 

It's trying to blow you away 

I'll admit sometimes I can be out of line

But tomorrow may end any day

Who dat?

I might know

I think maybe that you should care

Jump up

Stop go

Visions form from mid air 

Come talk to me 

I got the power to set you free

I want you to know what I can be

I'm the wizard of your reality

Come talk to me

I got the power of variety 

I want you to know what I can see

I'm the wizard of your true belief 

Moment of Zen

MOMENT OF ZEN - Written by Carroll Bryant 

When it all starts coming together 

You can walk that fine line of hope 

The pieces seem to fall right into place

And the puzzle soon becomes a picture 

When nothing else seems to matter

You can see your problems all disappear 

The world now has a meaning

And everything that's right is right in your universe

What can you call it when your mountain is a hill?

How can you explain it if it's exactly how you feel?

That's the moment that you know that you can win 

It's a moment that you never see coming 

It doesn't happen every day and it eventually goes away 

You take it for the moment and then it becomes your moment of zen

When it all feels like forever 

And for once that is a good thing 

The heart becomes a better home 

And your spirit seems to wanna fly higher 

When nothing else seems to matter

And your worries wash away with the storm

The world can find a new meaning 

Standing in the truth in the universe that you live

What do you call it when you know the time is so right?

How will you know it if it doesn't catch your eye?

That's the moment that you know that you can win 

It's a moment that you never see coming 

It doesn't happen every day and it eventually goes away 

You take it for the moment and then it becomes your moment of zen

When nothing else matters

Then nothing else can get you down

If nothing else matters

Then turn that silly frown around

When nothing else matters

Then nothing can push you around

If nothing else matters

Then turn that attitude upside down now

What can you call it when your mountain is a hill?

How can you explain it if it's exactly how you feel?

That's the moment that you know that you can win 

It's a moment that you never see coming 

It doesn't happen every day and it eventually goes away 

You take it for the moment and then it becomes your moment of zen

Tweenkle Tweenkle Pump It

TWEENKLE TWEENKLE PUMP IT - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Scissors so sharp they can cut right through you

That tweenkle tweenkle in your eyes say pump it

Get it on and what the hell 

Our attitude is buy and sell

Jesus came and tried to tell us 

Tweenkle tweenkle pump it

Race across the desert land with two feet

One foot doesn't touch the sand 

Holy Christ! What did you expect?

Find a cow and jump the moon but don't look down

Someone went and jumped too soon

Holy Christ! Who is left to suspect?

Scissors so sharp they can cut right through you

That tweenkle tweenkle in your eyes say pump it

Get it on and what the hell 

Our attitude is buy and sell

Jesus came and tried to tell us 

Tweenkle tweenkle pump it

Love was given birth by the universe

Hate was put to the test right here on earth 

Inside our spirits 

Everybody gets high 

You don't want to hear it

And I want to know why 

Make the connection heart and soul 

Oxygen can be your erection 

Travel down the dirt road 

Make the connection warm and true 

Everyday can be your greatest day

The energy lives in you 

Scissors so sharp they can cut right through you

That tweenkle tweenkle in your eyes say pump it

Get it on and what the hell 

Our attitude is buy and sell

Jesus came and tried to tell us 

Tweenkle tweenkle pump it

The Left Eye

THE LEFT EYE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Just how far can a soul submit to another heart?

Just how long will jealousy take to break it apart?

If we can't believe in each other 

And we can't trust in our lover

Then there's nothing left for us to be 

Just how dark is the August sky when the stars burn out?

Just how sad is the happiest clown if he can't roustabout?

If we can't believe in a meaning 

Then maybe we're better off dreaming 

For someone to come along and set us all free

They say that god lives in the left eye

And so I commit all of my sins from the right eye 

But late at night when I'm all alone 

I look for you through this telescope 

Close my mind and fall in love

Just how deep do emotions run when the time is right?

Just how fast does a comet fly across the dead of the night?

If we can't kiss without poison 

Then where in the hell are we going?

And could someone please, tell me why? 

They say that god lives in the left eye

And so I tell all of my lies from the right eye 

But late at night in the heart of my fire

I look for you through this burning desire

Close my mind and fall in love

Will you walk with me into the valley of the shadow of doubt? 

Will you talk to me on the way in and again on the way out?

And could you tell me what we're all about?

Just how far can a soul submit to another heart?

Just how long will jealousy take to break it apart?

If we can't believe in each other 

And we can't trust in our lover

Then there's nothing left for us to be

They say that god lives in the left eye

And so I commit all of my sins from the right eye 

But late at night when I'm all alone 

I look for you on the telephone 

Close my mind and fall in love

I fall in love

Baby, I just fall in love with you

The Trail

THE TRAIL - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Follow the trail that was left behind 

For you to follow the trail

Speak in the language that was taught 

To your mind 

In the tongue 

Look where you're going

It could be worse 

You know that you could be blind 

Follow the trail that you will never leave behind 

And we're breathing ourselves to our graves 

Succumb to our fears 

Bow to our slaves 

Try but we cannot escape 

Breathing ourselves to our graves 

And we're breathing ourselves to our graves 

Succumb to our tears 

Dwell in our ways 

Try but there's nothing to say

Breathing ourselves to our graves 

Follow the trail that was left behind 

For you to follow the trail

Speak in the language that was taught 

To your mind 

In the tongue 

Look where you're going

It could be worse 

You know that you could be blind 

Follow the trail that you will never leave behind

And we're breathing ourselves to our graves 

Succumb to our fears 

Bow to our slaves 

Try but we cannot escape 

Breathing ourselves to our graves 

And we're breathing ourselves to our graves 

Succumb to our tears 

Dwell in our ways 

Try but there's nothing to say

Breathing ourselves to our graves

There is no reason to follow the trail 

Heaven forbids it

And so does hell

It can't be measured with what you may think

Eyes are fooled by illusions of kings 

Follow the trail that was left behind 

For you to follow the trail

And we're breathing ourselves to our graves

Live for the moment

Die any day

Try but our souls can't be saved

Breathing ourselves to our graves 

And we're breathing our whole lives away 

 

State Of Oblivion

STATE OF OBLIVION - Written by Carroll Bryant 

We meet

We exchange our pleasantries

We eat 

Our dinner and each other 

Next thing we know we are madly in love

Talking together about the future 

And then our past catches up to us 

Ignorance turns into clever 

If we ever reach the state of oblivion 

Will we only take the love that each of us has given?

And if we ever talk about our problems with somebody else

Would we ever stop to think that our love was merely an illusion?

We're playing in the state of our innocence 

We leave broken pieces in our wake

In the state of oblivion

We meet

We discuss our fatal dreams 

We stay

To touch each others bodies 

Next thing we know we're walking down the aisle

Anticipating memories 

That hide behind a honeymoon smile

Ignorance is bliss

If we ever reach the state of oblivion 

Will we only take the love that each of us has given?

And if we ever talk about our problems with somebody else

Would we ever stop to think that our love was merely an illusion?

We're playing in the state of our innocence 

We leave broken pieces in our wake

In the state of oblivion

You can be that little girl playing with your dolls 

I will be that little boy growing up on football 

A summer day

A baseball game

Drinking lemonade 

Playing doctor in the shade 

We meet

We disrupt our destiny

We seek

The power from each others heart 

Next thing we know we're growing old together

Living in the weather 

That brought us to said place and time 

Ignorance is left behind 

If we ever reach the state of oblivion 

Will we only take the love that each of us has given?

And if we ever talk about our problems with somebody else

Would we ever stop to think that our love was merely an illusion?

We're playing in the state of our innocence 

We leave broken pieces in our wake

In the state of oblivion

In the state of oblivion

We're living in the state of our oblivion

Too oblivious to understand 

 

All The Rage

ALL THE RAGE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I want to give some love 

Don't need to take 

I got enough 

It's just the way that I feel

There is no question if it's fake or real

You look at me with empty eyes 

Almost like you're expecting a fatal surprise

A dead heart can't relate

Why all the rage?

When the world is nothing but your biggest stage

Why all the rage?

Don't treat it like a prisoner locked up in an animal cage

There's so much left to brave 

Don't let yourself get caught up in all the rage 

I long to meet your soul

No need to fear me 

No need to let go 

It's the way that I am 

There's so much power stored inside of this man 

You speak to me with a fire on the edge of your tongue

No one has lost yet

And nobody has won 

Why all the rage?

When your life is nothing but a loving thing

Why all the rage?

You're not in a prison or an an animal cage

There's so much left to brave 

Don't let yourself get caught up in all the rage

Every moment has its time 

Just as every time has its day

Mythology

Is just a mystery

Mythology ain't you and me

We're just as real as real can be

Real until the day that we die 

I want to give some love 

Don't need to take 

I got enough 

It's just the way that I feel

There is no question if it's fake or real

You can talk your talk without the shame

You can be so blind 

Until you can't see the blame

Why all the rage?

When the world is nothing but your biggest stage

Why all the rage?

Don't treat it like a prisoner locked up in an animal cage

There's so much left to brave 

Don't let yourself get caught up in all the rage

Real until the day that we die 

The Great American Bitch

THE GREAT AMERICAN BITCH - Written by Carroll Bryant 

You are something for the boys to see

Throwing your sex into the world 

You're a very naughty girl

And nasty

You are where the boys would like to be 

Dancing in perverted ways 

Throwing your love away 

Oh, is this really what you want?

Is this really who you are?

Is this how you push your love?

Girl, you might be pushing it too far

You are the great American bitch

That I will talk about

That I will write about

In books and magazines

(I mean it)

You are the great American bitch 

That I will think about

That I will dream about

For the rest of my lonely life 

You are something for the boys to do

Throwing your caution to the wind

You do it time and time again 

(And plenty)

You are why the boys are silly fools

With nothing else to gain

Giving your heart away

Oh, is this really how to live?

Is this really a good time?

Is this how you squeeze your love?

Girl, you might be squeezing things too tight

You are the great American bitch

That I will so adore

That I will wait here for

In every minute of the day

(I mean it)

You are the great American bitch 

That I will tantalize 

That I will fantasize

For the rest of my natural life

Is this really what you want?

Is this really who you are?

Is this how you make your love?

Girl, you might be making it too hard 

Is this really how to live?

Is this really a good time?

Is this how you blow your love?

Girl, you might be blowing your own mind

You are the great American bitch

That I will talk about

That I will write about

In books and magazines

(I mean it)

You are the great American bitch 

That I will think about

That I will dream about

For the rest of my lonely life

Divided Highway

DIVIDED HIGHWAY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Your eyes haunt me

Like the stars up in the sky

Your touch burns me

With desire hot in the night

I lay before you naked

From my life and all of the pain

I cry because I want to

Be a cloud that drops the rain 

Your thoughts stalk me

Like a spirit living deep within 

Your motor thrills me

With beads of sweat and kiss the skin 

I bow before you shaking

From my words and all of your sighs 

I cry because I need you

To be an angel in disguise 

This is how I travel deep inside my soul 

This is the road 

The only one I know 

There is no limit of speed that's posted on any sign 

Divided highway

Love and hates only line 

Your dreams fulfill me 

In a way that they only can

Your screams are chilling 

With a breathlessness I can't understand 

I stand before you vainly 

As my confidence has turned into sin 

I cry because I have to

Because my love for you can never end 

This is why I travel when to reach you is my goal

This is the road

The only love I know 

You are the limit of passion that I have in mind

Divided highway

Love and the curses of time 

Your thoughts stalk me

Like a spirit living deep within 

Your motor thrills me

With beads of sweat and kiss the skin

Really kiss the skin and let me in again 

This is how I travel deep inside my soul 

This is the road 

The only one I know 

There is no limit of speed that's posted on any sign 

Divided highway

Love and hates only line 

This is why I travel when to reach you is my goal

This is the road

The only love I know 

You are the limit of passion that I have in mind

Divided highway

Love and the curses of time

I cry because I need you ..... 

 

Love Was The Magic

LOVE WAS THE MAGIC - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

 

Your trembling knees as you stand right in front of me

Hiding the lies with your usual rules

This is a pivotal scene that makes or breaks dreams

Let the light of your dark heart guide you

 

I throw questions at you because I don't want the answers

I'd rather they break when they miss you and hit the wall

I smell it on you and it lingers in the room

Don't cry - your tears are forbidden to fall

 

Love was the magic that held us together

Lust was the poison that broke both of our hearts

Love was the magic through all other endeavors

Your weakest of moments tore us apart

 

To never see it coming is the wickedest bullet

Deception is always given birth to the dumb  

I slay all the anger because you know if I didn't 

It would kill me, and death isn't fun

 

I never said I'll stay so stop wording your ears

I'll slice both of mine off to the bone 

My shadow stands tall in the face of its fears

Of living in this world so cold and all alone

 

Now everything is wrong

 

Love was the magic that held us together

Lust was the poison that broke both of our hearts

Love was the magic through all other endeavors

Your weakest of moments tore us apart

 

Love was the magic that didn't last forever

 

 

 

 

Own

OWN - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

She is just a name and a number

A text that I can't read

A spell that I'm under

 

I crawl on my knees and pray to a deity

That I don't believe in

In hopes I can have her

I want to own her

 

I want her to own me

 

I want to own everything

Anything I can give her

I'm alone and always gone if I can't have her

I don't deserve her

I don't own a thing

 

She is just a game and a cool reminder

Turn my back, turn my head away for a minute

I can't find her

 

I bawl out my eyes to my dignity

Until I can't even see two feet or fifty

Right in front of me

This is infinity

 

I want to hold her

 

I want to hold everything

Anything that will keep her

I'm alone and always gone if I can't feel her

I don't demand her

I can't hold a thing

 

I crawl on my knees and pray to a deity

That I don't believe in

In hopes I can have her

I want to own her

 

I want her to own me

 

I want to own everything

Anything I can give her

I'm alone and always gone if I can't have her

I don't deserve her

I don't own a thing

 

She is just a name and a number

A text that I can't read

A spell that I'm under

 

I'm fading away

 

 

 

This Is This (And It Always Will Be)

THIS IS THIS (AND IT ALWAYS WILL BE) - Written by Carroll Bryant

You can say goodbye to all your hopes and dreams

That of what I say to you is exactly what it means 

Life comes without a warning

Love leaves without a care

Make no mistake about your heartbreak

Or your permanent despair 

It's a jungle

A deadly jungle

Cold hearted heathens 

Crazy to the point of evil

This is this

This is this

This is this and it always will be

This is this

I said, this is this

This is this and it always will be this

You can say good morning to all your luxuries 

That of what they mean to you is to what yourself believes 

Joy comes without a purpose

Pain leaves without a trace 

Make no mistake for heavens sake

Or blank emotions on your face 

Because it's a jungle

A savage jungle 

Cold hearted bitches

And bastards to the point of evil

This is this

This is this

This is this and it always will be

This is this

I said, this is this

This is this and it always will be this

Nobody cares anymore who it is they are stepping on

Power needs to be possessed 

And everyone wants that power

Nobody cares who it is they are pushing around

Nobody fears for their lives

Everybody fears for their lives

Nobody has a single answer

Time comes without a lover

Death never can escape

Make no mistake about your heartbreak

 

I'm serious here

It's a jungle

A deadly jungle

Cold hearted heathens 

Crazy to the point of evil

This is this

This is this

This is this and it always will be

This is this

I said, this is this

This is this and it always will be this

And it always will be this

 

Days That Pass (Part 3)

DAYS THAT PASS (PART 3) - Written by Carroll Bryant 

And the days that pass

Are days that pass

Moving forward

Moving up

Moving slow 

Moving fast

Thinking of the future 

Thinking of the past

And the days that pass

Are days that pass

Are days that never last

And the meaning grew

For me and you

A friend with a plan

And you never knew

The time for life

Is drawing near

Death gets a wife

Love married fear

And the days that pass

Are days that pass

And the money changes hands

The money is in high demand

Turning our friend

Into a big business man 

Take the money

And the days that pass

Are days that pass

Everybody is growing

Old so fast 

The master plan of destruction

Can happen oh, so fast

I bet you didn't know it

I know you never showed it

Nobody can stop it

When everybody wants it 

The poison is in our blood

The poison is our only love

And the days that pass

Are days that pass

To the days at last

Where happiness collapses 

And the days that pass

Are days that pass

Take the money, you

Wear the honey tattoo

 

Ziggy Stardust Goes Home

ZIGGY STARDUST GOES HOME - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

 

Ziggy, you're such an unorthodoxed one

Gliding through the universe

Always having fun

Flying into the sun

But life is more serious than you could ever be

And just when the winds stop blowing

You take your leave

 

Ziggy, it's time to go home

Time to be alone

Time to be free

The chains of this world that they call earth

You wore them well

But now it's time to get delirious

Put your costume on and start blending in

With the crowd

Disappear into the clouds

Don't even wave goodbye

Sing your final song

The voyage didn't last very long

Now it's done

 

A new voyage has .... begun

 

 

 

 

Someone's Nightmare

SOMEONE'S NIGHTMARE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Have you ever wondered

Have you ever thought 

You're not really who you are

Like an animal, you're caught

Trapped inside a vision

Living in somebody's mind

In the middle of somebody sleeping

And running out of time

Knowing when they wake up

You might yourself be dead

Or searching for an exit

Trying to escape from somebody's head

In the eye of someone's nightmare 

You try to scream but can't

You want to run into the sun 

But your feet are stuck in quicksand 

In the eye of someone's nightmare

You are itself the fantasy 

When you can't control the things you do

You never know but you could be 

In the eye of someone's nightmare

And so if it's true

I got to get out of you

I couldn't stand to be

The centerpiece of some little boy's dream

And if it's true

I figure that I am screwed

From here to there

I don't care

Anywhere

I got to get out of here

In the eye of someone's nightmare 

You try to scream but can't

You want to run into the sun 

But your feet are stuck in quicksand 

In the eye of someone's nightmare

You are itself the fantasy 

When you can't control the things you do

You never know but you could be 

In the eye of someone's nightmare

Could you just imagine

Could you so believe

You're not really who you are

Try but cannot leave

Lost inside a vision

Dwelling in another mind

A traveler of destiny 

And running out of time 

Knowing when they wake up

It just might be the end 

Nothing is the way it seems

And somehow you did descend

In the eye of someone's nightmare 

You try to scream but can't

You want to run into the sun 

But your feet are stuck in quicksand 

In the eye of someone's nightmare

You are itself the fantasy 

When you can't control the things you do

You never know but you could be 

In the eye of someone's nightmare

 

She's Just An Angel

SHE'S JUST AN ANGEL - Written by Carroll Bryant

She is just a pretty girl

He is just a lonely boy

Together they could make the perfect pair

She carries a heart of gold

He thinks she's a beautiful soul

Two love-birds married without a care 

They're never coming down 

(From this high)

There's nothing on the ground

(They will survive)

Gonna stay up in the sky

(Life is alive)

In the clouds they now call their home

Never to be all alone

To the world she is just a girl

To him she is the whole wide world

To everything anyone can believe in 

She's just an angel 

She is such a happy soul

He has nowhere else to go

Together they just might get somewhere 

She is so full of good love

He can never seem to get enough

Together they sure make the perfect pair 

They're never coming down 

(From this high)

There's nothing on the ground

(They will survive)

Gonna stay up in the sky

(Life is alive)

In the clouds they now call their home

Never to be all alone

To the world she is just a girl

To him she is the whole wide world

To everything anyone can believe in 

She's just an angel

Love, baby, love

Two love to touch

Soul to soul and spirit to spirit

Making the sound in which both of them can hear it

Love, baby, love

This is how they do it

One for all and all for one

Love can be so much fun

Can you dig it?

She is just a pretty girl

He is just a lonely boy

Together they could make the perfect pair

She carries a heart of gold

He thinks she's a beautiful soul

Two love-birds married without a care

They're never coming down 

(From this high)

There's nothing on the ground

(They will survive)

Gonna stay up in the sky

(Life is alive)

In the clouds they now call their home

Never to be all alone

To the world she is just a girl

To him she is the whole wide world

To everything anyone can believe in 

She's just an angel

Harms Way

HARMS WAY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Everybody's looking with suspicion in their eyes 

Life's a lethal weapon and death's a crime 

Could it be your neighbor or a trusted friend?

X marks the spot in your backyard and then 

You got to get out of the way 

You got to get out of the way 

You haven't got the power to stop it

Or prevent it from happening 

You got to get out of the way

Just get out of the way 

Everybody's walking with a dark thought on their mind 

To error is always human

To forgive is Divine 

Could it be a stranger or in your family?

Never underestimate the minds ability 

You got to get out of the way 

You got to get out of the way 

You haven't got the power to stop it

Or prevent it from happening 

You got to get out of the way

Just get out of the way 

Everybody is living with a poison in their blood 

Love is a secret weapon and the killer is a hug 

We are to deception what a flower is to rain 

Compromise your principles but never stipulate your pain 

You got to get out of the way 

You got to get out of the way 

You haven't got the power to stop it

Or prevent it from happening 

You got to get out of the way

Just get out of the way 

"In the smallest of towns or the biggest of cities, it's all going to come down and buddy, it won't be pretty. From the hands of man or the wrath of god, or Mother Nature's dance, and you can't stop it, try as you may. There's nothing you can do to prevent it from happening. But maybe there's a way you can minimize the damages. But really, it's all for naught as later you salvage more pieces of your shattered life. Your broken dreams. Your beaten heart. Clinging to your children, your spouse, and everything that matters, you scream at your god for mercy. So do with it just what you will. Death in life is our biggest thrill. Enjoy it! Embrace it! Don't be afraid. Stand and face it - Be brave! You can't run away, still, you run anyway."

You got to get out of the way 

You got to get out of the way 

You haven't got the power to stop it

Or prevent it from happening 

You got to get out of the way

Just get out of the way

Everybody's looking with suspicion in their eyes

You got to get out of the way

Life's a lethal weapon and death's a crime

Honey Tattoo

HONEY TATTOO - Written by Carroll Bryant 

They wear the mark of you know who 

And it looks like they're going to hell

But that's the price of the honey tattoo

And you better know it well 

Do they envy you and me?

Maybe they envy

Which way to believe?

They don't have to envy you and me 

They crossed the line and into the dark 

And it sounds like they're in pain

But the honey tattoo is a dangerous mark

You will be consumed by the flame 

Do they envy you and me?

Maybe they envy

Which way to believe?

They don't have to envy you and me

I can't save them

They can only save themselves 

I can't make them listen 

They have to decide for themselves 

They don't have to even believe

They will surely perish 

Think about what could be achieved 

Love that you can cherish

Well, they made a move to win or lose 

And it looks like they are dead

They embraced the honey tattoo

I wouldn't want to sleep in their bed 

Do they envy you and me?

(Deep inside)

Maybe they envy

Which way to believe?

(Deep inside)

They don't have to envy you and me

Lunch With God

LUNCH WITH GOD - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I wonder what you're thinking

What's up with your smile?

There's something that you're hiding

And you've been hiding it for a while now  

Don't deny your feelings if there's something you got to say

Don't play me like the fool next door

Breakfast in bed, dinner with lovers 

Have your lunch with god

That's the story of the ages (And you have)

Breakfast in bed, dinner with lovers

Have your lunch with god

You do it but it's easier said than done

You cast away relations

What's going on in your world?

There's something you're not saying

You've been a very silent girl 

Don't believe the stories that you're reading everyday 

Don't dog me like the man I am 

Breakfast in bed, dinner with lovers 

Have your lunch with god

That's the story of the ages (And you have)

Breakfast in bed, dinner with lovers

Have your lunch with god

You do it but it's easier said than done

Now tell me what you're doing

You're moving way too fast

You're keeping all your secrets quiet

And they weren't made to last

You're drowning in emotions

That are crawling on the floor

Don't do me like the dumb next door

Don't deny your feelings if there's something you got to say 

Don't dog me like the man I am 

Breakfast in bed, dinner with lovers 

Have your lunch with god

That's the story of the ages (And you have)

Breakfast in bed, dinner with lovers

Have your lunch with god

You do it but it's easier said than done

You do it but it's easier done than said ..... 

Up (Take You There)

UP (TAKE YOU THERE) Written by Carroll Bryant 

Up, take you down

Take you anywhere you want to go to 

Up, take you down

Take you everywhere you want to go to 

Up, take you down

Take you anywhere you want to go to

Up, take you down

Take you everywhere 

Just take me with you 

Why are you so mean to me?

I can't believe this means so much to me 

After all I've done for you

Your love is still untrue 

Oh, girl

You're just so mean and cruel 

When will you stop playing with my fettered emotions?

I dangle like a puppet right before your eyes 

Is it respect? I give it to you

So give it to me too, baby

This situation is driving me crazy 

Up, take you down

Take you anywhere you want to go to 

Up, take you down

Take you everywhere you want to go to 

Up, take you down

Take you anywhere you want to go to

Up, take you down

Take you everywhere 

Just take me with you

Why are you so mean to me?

Is it something emotional?

Do you suffer from illness of the mentally? 

What have I done to you?

Oh, girl

You're just so mean and cruel 

When will you turn your attention to my souls desire?

I always stand there like a moron in the middle of the pain 

Is it neglect? I would never do that to you 

So give it to me good this time 

Stop being so unkind and evil 

Up, take you down

Take you anywhere you want to go to 

Up, take you down

Take you everywhere you want to go to 

Up, take you down

Take you anywhere you want to go to

Up, take you down

Take you everywhere 

Just take me with you 

"Now listen to me and start playing it cool. From the woman to the man who is playing the damn fool. It's not about love, respect the money. I'm giving up the sugar pops to my honey. Slap me like the ho I am. A woman like me needs a real man."

"Now listen to me and start nursing the heart. Bitch you be breaking us apart. From the man to the woman who is strutting her stuff, you need to stop it with the sex and be thinking about love. Fuck you, like the ho you are. A man like me needs a real star."

When will you stop playing with my fettered emotions?

I dangle like a puppet right before your eyes 

Is it respect? I give it to you

So give it to me too, baby

This situation is driving me crazy

Up, take you down

Take you anywhere you want to go to 

Up, take you down

Take you everywhere you want to go to 

Up, take you down

Take you anywhere you want to go to

Up, take you down

Take you everywhere 

Just take me with you
