Closer

CLOSER - Written by Carroll Bryant

Close your eyes

And picture me standing by your side

Holding tight, your hand

And to always know I am thinking about you

Say goodbye 

To all of those lonely nights that you may know

Believe within your heart and I will stay forever

I will never go 

And to always know I will be there just for you

And be closer than the night

Closer than we ever can be

Living in the light

Closer than the sky and sea

Never letting go

It's just too good to be true

Closer to me

Closer to you

And be closer than the night

Closer than we ever can be

Living in the light

Closer than the sky and sea

Never letting go

It's just too good to be true

Closer to me

Closer to you

Close your eyes

And picture me standing by your side

Holding tight, your hand

And to always know I am thinking about you

Always thinking about you

Always being there for you

Only for you

The Rhetoric

THE RHETORIC - Written by Carroll Bryant

I dig my grave in the sands of the hour glass and time

As mayhem understands and I'm the master of the mastermind 

And torture is odious to civilized people 

Where do you think you will find your peace?

When will you open yourself up to believe

That torture is in the hands of civilized people

Jesus wants to hate you

Jesus wants to slap you

Jesus wants to break you

Jesus will do what Jesus will do

Jesus wants to will you

Jesus wants to feel you

Jesus wants to thrill you

 Jesus will do what Jesus will do

When do you think you will find your peace?

Where will you go when you finally believe?

Open minds are too quick to close

Now where does the life go?

Jesus wants to surf you

Jesus wants to Smurf you

Jesus wants to fool you

Jesus will do what Jesus will do

Jesus wants to taste you

Jesus wants to bake you

Jesus wants to waste you

Jesus will do what Jesus will do

I dig my grave in the sands of the hour glass and time

As mayhem understands and I'm the master of the mastermind 

I'm the master of the great unkind 

Soul Of Anarchy

SOUL OF ANARCHY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Lay your heart upon the altar 

Sacrifice your blood

Wash it away the morning after

Sex doesn't always equal love

Beware the quick decision 

Not everybody is immune to the pain

Too blind to see the vision

Natives always dance before the fire for rain

Blood stains on the altar 

Dancing before the fire

Sacrifice the heart of love

Sex can't save your soul

Love can't save your soul

Hope can't save your soul

Soul can't save your soul

Truth can't save your soul

Hate can't save your soul

Youth can't save your soul

Soul can't save your soul

Blood stains on the altar 

Dancing before the fire

Sacrifice the heart of love

Death can't save your soul

Life can't save your soul

Earth can't save your soul

Soul can't save your soul

Sun can't save your soul

Wind can't save your soul

Faith can't save your soul

Soul can't save your soul

Nothing can save your soul

You're reaching for anything

Bodies collapsing together

Souls can't be saved

Not tonight, anyway

Life Goes On

LIFE GOES ON - Written by Carroll Bryant

There in the dark I play with my thoughts

I close my eyes again

Hearing those words that you spoke to me, girl

It was never ever gonna end

You didn't even wave just the other day

When you were walking down the street 

You walked away with nothing to say

Pretending our eyes didn't even meet

Life goes on 

At least that's what they say

But I never thought that life would go on this way

I'm lost and confused

And every day is another day of thinking of you

Life goes on 

That much I can tell

All of my good friends are wishing me well

But they cannot feel my pain

My love for you just goes in vain

Life goes on

There in my house I sit all alone

I listen to the radio 

Singing the words that you sang to me, girl

You were never gonna let me go

I broke down and cried and didn't know why

When I was thinking about you and me

I got to the part of loves broken heart

And the way that I thought that it was gonna be

Life goes on

At least that much is true

But I never thought that life would go on without you

In my mind I can't believe

In my heart I cannot breathe 

Life goes on

Or so that's what I hear

I'm standing on the edge of my sorrow and tears

Look at what you've done

Life goes on

I guess I took this world for granted 

Every night my prayer is the same

And when my wishes go unplanted

I recant my dreams and call out your name

 Life goes on 

At least that's what they say

But I never thought that life would go on this way

I'm lost and confused

And every day is another day of thinking of you

Life goes on 

That much I can tell

All of my good friends are wishing me well

But they cannot feel my pain

My love for you just goes in vain

Life goes on

Life goes on

At least that much is true

But I never thought that life would go on without you

In my mind I can't believe

In my heart I cannot breathe 

Life goes on

Or so that's what I hear

I'm standing on the edge of my sorrow and tears

Look at what you've done

Life goes on

Life goes on

Life goes on

Life goes on and on and on

I hate every minute

Life goes on

Life goes on

Life goes on and on and on

I hate it, I admit it

Look at what you've done

Life goes on

Unofficially Dead

UNOFFICIALLY DEAD - Written by Carroll Bryant

I let my conscience be my guide 

I live my life as if I'm never gonna die

But I did and I'm onto a better life

Or so that's what they say

They said

I was proclaimed a husband to my wife

This is right about the time that I realized

I was unofficially dead

There are so many things I longed to be

Her arms began to stopping me

Now there are so many dreams that I still dream

With her I can no longer see

People give me advice

They can't even save their own pathetic lives

They can't even save their children from the crocodiles 

They let them go outside and play

Unsupervised with pedophiles

They live off of their own lies

And to me they made their bed

They know they surely lied

They are unofficially dead

I let my conscience be my guide

I live my life but I don't know why

I go out of my head

I have myself a wife

And now I'm unofficially dead

There are no reasons for me to dream

My nuptials make me want to scream

I don't think that I can breathe

My brain lacks activity 

I wish that I could leave

I step outside my door and look up to the sky

I don't want this anymore

Tears fall from my eyes

I am married to this world

Owned by a wife

And I break my daily bread

Listed as unofficially dead

No one can help me now

I am so far down

Living in my dread

Total regrets 

Looking for a hand

Maybe I'm not a real man

Maybe not yet

Because I'm unofficially dead

I let my conscience be my guide

I let my sorrow be my lonely bride

I'm half awake

I'm half alive

Unofficially I have died

I let my conscience be my guide

Read My Lips (No New Taxes)

READ MY LIPS (NO NEW TAXES) - Written by Carroll Bryant

Read my lips

No new taxes 

Read my lips

Kiss my ass

Read my lips

No new taxes

Read my lips

Well, how about that?

And nothing ever seems to change 

Everything about us remains the same

Once upon a time I had me a brother

Now he is a sucker or a mother-fucker

Fucking with my sister

Disrespecting father

Now look at what you have done

Where in the hell has your mind gone?

You're messing with my lover

Read my lips

No new taxes 

Read my lips

Kiss my ass

Read my lips

No new taxes

Read my lips

Well, how about that?

And nothing ever seems to change

Everything about us remains the same

America once tasted like apple pie

Now we live to tell the big lie

Well, how about that?

Why are you surprised?

Read my lips

No new taxes 

Nick Of Time

NICK OF TIME - Written by Carroll Bryant 

No one seems to listen anymore

To what is going on

They refuse to support the war

That is always going on

Nobody seems to care anyway

To what is happening 

They just want to be in the way

It makes them feel needed

Knee deep in America

Ass deep in solitude 

America's new in communism

It's their new attitude 

No one seems to listen anymore

To what is going on

They refuse to support the war

That is always going on

Nobody seems to visualize their world

Blinded by hypocrisy

They just want to look at pretty girls

Welcome to society

I ask myself

What is going on?

I ask myself

Why do I even care?

I ask myself

What in the hell are you doing now?

I ask myself

How do I get out?

Can we stop it in the nick of time?

Can we save it in the nick of time?

Can we change it in the nick of time?

In the nick of time 

In the nick of time

Can we save ourselves ... in the nick of time?

Two People

TWO PEOPLE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Here we are

Two people lost in wonder

Wishing on a star

While our hearts, they roll like thunder

Maybe we are crazy

And maybe it is true

That we are both swimming in it

Love is so brand new

We take it to the limit 

Here we stand

Two people facing the fire

Working on a plan 

While our hearts work on their desire

Maybe it's too simple

For our starry eyes to see

The state of our obsession 

Planting our own seeds

Texting our true confessions

Here we stay

Two people free of confusion

Trying hard to play

Outside of loves mirrored illusion

Maybe I love you

And maybe they don't care

They don't have to worry

Your love for me is everywhere

They will have to accept it

And we know there's nothing for us to prove

The sky is still our limit

Now they have to believe it's true

They hate to admit it

Maybe I love you

And maybe they don't care

They don't have to worry

Your love for me is everywhere

We are the reason why love was invented

Maybe it's too simple

For our starry eyes to see

The state of our obsession 

Planting our own seeds

This is all it is

This is all we are

We're just two people

Explode

EXPLODE - Written by Carroll Bryant

This is the beginning of the end 

Of what I thought would never last

And it did

No one could possibly understand this

Except for me

And I never

Although

I thought I did

To love, so where does it all go and

How in the world did it get there so fast

When in your mind I'm thinking of you

And in the aftermath of misery

It never did exist 

Is it her I forgot to forget?

Sometimes I wonder

Is it for her that I sacrificed my life?

As I explode into another dimension 

I wonder

I really have to wonder

This is the middle of a story that 

Will never stop or start telling itself

And it did

To me it will always continue

To you it rests where it doesn't exist 

I thought it did

In love, and so it is a feeling

The very essence to a soul to soul

It dies to last

When in my mind, your mind is thinking

That my mind will just explode

Leaving the remnants of memories

That you don't even know they exist

Is it her that my eyes have never seen?

And then it's true that my eyes can only see

Is it for her that I sacrificed my blood?

All in the blame of love

I lie

To myself the truth, and I wonder

And to itself I wonder

This is the end of what begins and

But never ends 

To that becomes it

And it did

You can't recognize the face of the ghost

Because you did not see it and I thought I did

In love, and always to the beggar we beg

For mercy not to thrill the goose

Your ruse just couldn't last

As it took on a life of its own

Mine

To you I give the gift that lasts forever

My secrecy

Is it her that fortifies my heart?

My loneliness and pain

Is it her to never witness me and the nothing that I gained?

Is it her to know it but to me 

To her

I will never know

Is it her for me to never tell

But to know it that somehow I know she knows

And then my mind Explodes ......

Do The Monster

DO THE MONSTER - Written by Carroll Bryant 

What did you say to me just the other day?

Was it something like get lost? Get away? 

Well, now I see you're back again 

Did you have enough of him?

Get lost - Get away 

You try to play with my mind 

Your fine tuned body draws the line 

I give in once again ... because you're too fine 

Let's do the monster 

Dance on my body all night long, baby

Let's do the monster 

It's not right and it's not wrong

One more time for old times sake 

Put a smile on our face tonight 

What did you say to me just the other night?

Was it something like get off? Get out of sight? 

Well, now I see you have returned 

Did your other squeeze give you the burn?

I give in once again ... because I can't learn 

You try to play with my mind 

Same old story, bump and grind 

Get off - Get out of sight 

Let's do the monster 

Dance on my body all night long, baby

Let's do the monster 

It's not right and it's not wrong

One more time for old times sake 

Put a smile on our face tonight - doing the monster

Let's do the monster 

Knock, knock, on my door

Baby wanna go and hit the dance floor?

Knock, knock, on my door

Baby wanna go and do what for? 

Let's do it girl, once more - for old times sake

Let's do the monster one more time once more 

You try to play with my mind 

Your fine tuned body draws the line 

I give in once again ... because you're too fine 

Let's do the monster 

Dance on my body all night long, baby

Let's do the monster 

It's not right and it's not wrong

One more time for old times sake 

Put a smile on our face tonight - doing the monster

I give in once again because ..... I'm a man

Way To The Wind

WAY TO THE WIND - Written by Carroll Bryant 

"Where to begin old way to the wind. Gently to stay and then blow away again."

Where to begin?

Old way to the wind

Gently to stay with me

Then blow away again

Are you my friend?

Where is the love you send?

Where to begin?

Old way to the wind

Where to begin?

Way to the wind

I hope this feeling never ends

Feeling this way again

Way to the wind

Are you my friend?

Where is the love you send?

Where to begin

Blow away and then

Where to begin?

Desperately I stand there as you blow across my face

Sending my thoughts into another time and place

Anxiously I call to you as my past passes me by and I

Hopelessly defend you 

As of yet, I don't know why

Oh, why?

Angrily I curse you as I know where you have been and I

Never meant to harm you as my witnesses can testify 

Hungrily I eat you as I open wide and breathe you in

Patiently awaiting for you to blow again

Again

Where to begin?

Old way to the wind

Gently to stay with me

Then blow away again

Are you my friend?

Where is the love you send?

Way to the wind

I hope this feeling never ends

Way to the wind

Where to begin?

Gently to stay with me

Only to blow away again

My friend

Way to the wind

My Bride

MY BRIDE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Is this your magic?

Is this make believe or is it real?

I'm walking on holy ground searching for your spirit

I can sense your presence 

I can taste the wind

Your soul I can't feel

With dirt on my hands I try to get to you

My love

I am so scared

I'm so alone ever since you died

And even though you are a corpse

You're still my bride

I can acknowledge that my sanity is slipping away

From me

There is nowhere to go for a crazy man

Still I couldn't stay away

Is this what they mean when they tell you

That hell is just a bad thought away

You knew I couldn't hide

Even if I tried

Baby, you are still my bride

Deep behind the darkness

Way behind the gate

I dig to taste your kisses

I dig to fornicate

I want to be with you

After all it is our honeymoon

My love

I am so scared

And I know that you are all alone

Nothing seems to change

Everything is still the same

Ever since you died

Even though you know I know

That you are still a corpse

Baby, you are still my bride

Is this your magic?

Is this make believe or is it real?

Your words I can't hear

Your thoughts I can feel

You know that your touch is magic

It brings tears right to my eyes

And even though you are dead

Your love I will never dread

You are still my bride

And even though you're dead
And at your funeral I cried

You are still my bride

Echos Of The Night

ECHOS OF THE NIGHT - Written by Carroll Bryant

Tonight I fall in love with you again

This time I cry to the whispers of the wind 

The thought 

No matter how discreet

Keeps me dreaming with no answer in sight

With no direction on the street

All I hear is the sound of my loneliness 

As it echos through the night 

Tonight I fall asleep again 

In my desperate despair

Love haunts my visions

My brain doesn't care

Smiles inside of my nightmares 

And it takes every ounce of my strength

To feed my appetite 

Your love is the time of my life

And it always echos in the night 

And when my passion rises to the top

And I can't breathe

My heartbeat never wants to stop

I can't believe

That look in your eyes

No compromise

Nothing seems to make it right

Only the echos all through the night

And when my power urges turn me away

My longing turns back into sin

So quick to look the danger face to face

The whispers in the wind

Start speaking in rhythm once again

And still I know the truth

It's a feeling that I know I can't fight

Echos of the night

Tonight I fall in love with you again

As I gently close my eyes

 This time I die and live way past the end

I see beyond the youth of my life

My heart

Your soul

Blinded by the suns early light

After my loneliness echos through the night 

And still it's just a feeling that you know I can't fight

My world beckons for you to be a part of me

In my life

Echos of the night

Another Chance

ANOTHER CHANCE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

There is no special reason

This is no special day

I just woke up this morning feeling this way

Everything is still the same

I don't see nothing that has changed 

But life is giving me another chance to say

I love you

And this is a joyous thing

A celebration of so much happiness

From what this feeling brings 

Listen to the birds as they gleefully sing

A song to say I love you

I love you today

Just like I did yesterday

Just as I will tomorrow

And life has given me another chance 

To feel this way

So excited

And this is a wonderful thing

The greatest thing

So much sunshine this feeling brings

I listen to the birds 

I listen to them as they sing

And everything is the same

I don't see nothing that has changed 

But life is giving me another chance to say

I love you

There is no special reason

This is no special day

I just woke up this morning feeling this way

Symphony

SYMPHONY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

My love for you continues to grow

In everything I do

It shows

To hold you close to me is only a simple dream

A symphony 

All alone again tonight

Thoughts of you will fill my mind

And I can't fall asleep again 

Drifting in and out of time

The music plays

Your love is my symphony 

Is this as good as it gets?

How long for I to live like this?

Visions of you are my regrets 

You are the one I want so much

You are the one I long to touch 

Only my eyes are satisfied 

The rest of me dies

And withers away

My lungs grow fonder for your air

My hopes are drowning in despair 

You are there beyond my wildest dreams

Your life is my symphony

My love for you still grows

No Remains

NO REMAINS - Written by Carroll Bryant 

In a place called hell

The sinner kills the saint

To the victor, the flesh of the dead

There shall be no remains 

To the words of the bible

Burn every page

Send them all into a frenzy

Give them nowhere to escape

Heart beating faster

Hell is ever after 

Bound to the walls of fire

Chained to Satan's desire

Only when it is time 

Will evil rise from its grave

To the Christians in their death

They will become our sexual slaves

To the hope of the children

There will be nothing but pain 

To the victor, the blood of the virgins 

There shall be no remains 

Heart beating faster

Hell is a disaster  

Bound to the walls of fire

Chained to Satan's desire

In a place called hell

The sinner kills the saint

To the victor, the flesh of the dead

There shall be no remains

Heart beating faster

Hell is ever after 

Bound to the walls of fire

Chained to Satan's desire

Heart beating faster

Hell is a disaster  

Bound to the walls of fire

Chained to Satan's desire

The evil blood is pumping through my veins 

Feel the rush

On the lips

Slip it in

Pull it out

Lay it on the line for me

Baby

I'm obsessed with sex

Touching you gets me up

In the flesh

Skin to skin

Sin to sin 

Obsessed with sex I am

You  know it

Touch You

TOUCH YOU - Written by Carroll Bryant

I want to make love to you inside a rainbow

I want to run naked with you

In a field where the cool winds blow

The smooth winds know

Where the flowers grow

I want to capture your smile

In the picture book of my telepathy 

I want to run with you so wild down every street

And I mean every street

I want to touch your heart with my passionate

Yet simple love

I want to touch your soul

I want to touch you

I need to kiss your lips like now

Before I go insane

I need to hold you close to me

Feel you breathe

And I want to do so in the summer rain

As I softly speak your name

I need to take in your air

In so that to die within your love

I need to look around and you to be there

Before I close my eyes and say goodnight

I need to touch your heart with my passionate

Yet crazy love

I need to touch your soul

I need to touch you

I have to feel your skin

You have to let me in

I can smell your NATURAL

And visualize your future

And I can see me in it with you

We are natural

I have to segregate my thoughts and make them 

Wishes that come true

I have to measure my admiration 

Just to confirm it for you

I have to touch your heart with my passionate 

Yet beating love

I have to touch your soul

I have to touch you

I want to touch your heart with my passionate

Yet simple love

I want to touch your soul

I want to touch you

I need to touch your heart

I need to touch you

Flower Power

FLOWER POWER - Written by Carroll Bryant

Have you seen my sanity 

Wandering around somewhere in this town

It should be standing next to my vanity

Partners in crime

Looking up at the sky

Give me freedom

Give it to me

Or give me death and bury me

Don't forget my memory

Let me live forever in the children's dreams

Do you know of my misery

Crying in the dark

Playing in Yoctangee Park

Could it be my sensitivity

It stands there mocking time

And dancing in the sky

Give me freedom

Give it to me

Or give me death and bury me

Don't forget my memory

Let me live forever in every child's fantasy

Have you heard of camaraderie? 

Hand to hand like you and me

To all of us we will be

Do you stand in die or need?

Holding back the abstract as butterflies fill the sky

Do you see their poverty?

If you don't then I know that you can't believe

In the things that you need to believe in

Believe me

Have you seen my sanity 

Wandering around somewhere in this town

It should be standing next to my vanity

Partners in crime

Looking up at the sky

Give me freedom

Give it to me

Or give me death and bury me

Don't forget my memory

Let me live forever in the children's dreams

Give me freedom

Give it to me

Or give me death and bury me

Don't forget my memory

Let me live forever in every child's fantasy
