Two Lonely People

TWO LONELY PEOPLE - Written by Carroll Bryant


Good looking man
Good looking lady
Different directions as they walk down the street

They say hi as they walk on by

When deep inside they would really like to meet

They get home from their two little jobs
Feed the pets and turn on the T.V. screen

Lost in thought as they gaze out of their windows
Innocently they both begin to dream

Two lonely people too lonely to discover
Two lonely people who don't have a lover
Two lonely people wishing for another
Two lonely people who don't have a lover
Life can be so cruel and we all know this is true
But it's worse when those two lonely people are me and you

They go to their kitchens and they fix a bite to eat
Take a lonely shower before trying to sleep

They toss and turn as their passion yearns
Close their eyes and get caught up in their fantasies

Two lonely people too lonely to discover

Two lonely people who don't have a lover

Two lonely people wishing for another

Two lonely people who don't have a lover

Life can be so cruel and we all know this is true

But it's worse when those two lonely people are me and you

They're on the brink as they think about the life they live

He thinks about her 

She thinks about him

There's so much that they could give 

To each other

But they're gone, gone, gone

And they're not coming back

And they're gone, gone, gone

On the edge of their climax

And this is where it ends

For everyone of them

Because you know it that they are not the only ones alone

Two lonely people too lonely to discover

Two lonely people who don't have a lover

Two lonely people wishing for another

Two lonely people who don't have a lover

Two lonely people too lonely to discover

Two lonely people who don't have a lover

Two lonely people wishing for another

Two lonely people who don't have a lover

Life can be so cruel and we all know this is true

But it's worse when those two lonely people are me and you

Extraordinary Girl

EXTRAORDINARY GIRL - Written by Carroll Bryant

You know I like to live my life on high

Leaving everyone that I pass by 

Just standing there and helpless in their tracks

Girl, you have this way I know

Of making me to want to take things slow

It's an effect on me that no one else could ever have

You're an extraordinary girl

In an otherwise ordinary world

You're a small town beauty queen with those big city dreams

Your personality impresses me

And your love just sets me free

And there's nowhere else that I'd rather be

Than living in an ordinary world with an extraordinary girl

It's like, every single day you have something sweet to say 

And when you touch me in the morning 

It moves me in every single way

It's like there's nowhere that I can hide

From wanting to burst from inside

All that I feel is all so real and baby, you know that I can't deny

You're an extraordinary girl

In an otherwise ordinary world

You're a small town beauty queen with those big city dreams

Your personality impresses me

And your love just sets me free

And there's nowhere else that I'd rather be

Than living in an ordinary world with an extraordinary girl

I want to keep on living inside all of this sunshine

I need you in the wet, wet rain

Even in the darkest night 

I need to speak your name

I want you inside all of this laughter

I need you to want the same

Even in the brightest rainbow

I need to speak your name

You know it comes as no surprise

The moment I'm near you I come alive

Making love and looking down at those heavenly eyes

You're an extraordinary girl

In an otherwise ordinary world

You're a small town beauty queen with those big city dreams

Your personality impresses me

And your love just sets me free

And there's nowhere else that I'd rather be

Than living in an ordinary world with an extraordinary girl

And there's nowhere else that I'd rather be

Than living in an ordinary world 

With an extraordinary girl

Desecrate The Flesh

DESECRATE THE FLESH - Written by Carroll Bryant

When in the act of indecency 

One must take steps to decide

How far and when do you take a risk?

And who, specifically, do you crucify?

(Who will be your patsy?)

Just like the governments of the world

Mostly the one from the USA

You pull the trigger and then disregard

Everything the protestors have to say

Desecrate the flesh

You know you want to do it 

Desecrate the flesh

You got something to prove

I desecrate your flesh

You know I will do it

You desecrate my flesh

There's your living proof

Let's desecrate the flesh

Me and you

America's tattoo

Just like the lovers of our politics

You know they will be damned

They stick it to you when they can

Uncle Sam is the scam

Stick it to the man

We can

Desecrate the flesh

You know you want to do it 

Desecrate the flesh

You got something to prove

I desecrate your flesh

You know I will do it

You desecrate my flesh

There's your living proof

Let's desecrate the flesh

Me and you

Americas taboo

You don't even have to ask

Your president will kick your ass

All of his mighty men

Will kick you in the ass again

Over and over and it will never end

I'm talking 20 trillion dollars here

Desecrate the flesh

You know you want to do it 

Desecrate the flesh

You got something to prove

I desecrate your flesh

You know I will do it

You desecrate my flesh

There's your living proof

Desecrate the flesh

You know you want to do it 

Desecrate the flesh

You got something to prove

I desecrate your flesh

You know I will do it

You desecrate my flesh

There's your living proof

Let's desecrate the flesh

Me and you

America is screwed

The Addict Addiction

THE ADDICT ADDICTION - Written by Carroll Bryant

What are you looking at?

Don't you even recognize yourself?

Why are you feeding off that?

Are you a glutton for the punishment?

Your self abuse

You make yourself a slave

The needle nourishment will take you to your grave

Are you aware now?

There's something going down

Do you even care now?

There's something going down

You taste the bitterness of life's malicious ride

You strive for excellence with the high that's killing you inside

No harm

No foul

You reason

Well, isn't that quite serene?

Treat yourself just like a heathen 

Living in a dream

Not reality

Are you aware now?

There's something going down

Do you even care now?

There's something going down

"Doctor, is he going to be okay?"

"I don't know. It's too soon to tell. You're fortunate to have gotten him here when you did. At least now, he's got more than half a chance."

You stand before your devil

He mocks your every word

Too much for you to handle

Your cries will go unheard 

Are you aware now?

There's something going down

Do you even care now?

There's something going down

"I'm sorry, we lost him."

"The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want. He maketh me lie down in green pastures."

Are you aware now?

There's something going down

Do you even care now?

Now that you're buried underground?

Madness Of Your Heart

MADNESS OF YOUR HEART - Written by Carroll Bryant

The first time you saw me you said I was sexy 

You have a way with words

And with your liberal intentions you set out to get me

You somehow made it hurt

I was just an average guy

I don't even want to know why

You don't even know who the hell you are

I'm just a small town dude

You're just so god damn rude

It's just the madness of your heart

The first time together you eagerly kissed me

You like to have your fun

Always apart I thought for sure that you would miss me

Only to discover I'm not the only one

I was just trying to be nice

You took me for a ride

You don't even know how to drive a car

It's just another bad thing

Words of a song that you can't sing

It's just the madness of your heart 

It's not like me to act this way

To want to see someone every day 

But to hear you say some of those things

Really tears me all apart 

It's just the madness of your heart 

Now that we're over I can see forever

The ways beneath your skin

Although I'm still trying to piece some things together

Where in the hell do I begin?

I was just an average guy

I don't even want to know why

You don't even know who the hell you are

I'm just a small town dude

You're just so god damn rude

It's just the madness of your heart

I was just trying to be nice

You took me for a ride

You don't even know how to drive a car

It's just another bad thing

Words of a song that you can't sing

It's just the madness of your heart 

Thrill Of Emotion

THRILL OF EMOTION

Our love is so elusive

Here one day and gone the next

You're so adroit, that is conclusive

Take the best and forget about all the rest

Maybe now it is too late to forfend any damage to my heart

You're so opaque and that's a fact 

You like to tear me all apart

I got caught in the thrill of emotion 

I didn't use my head

I'm trusting you

You're busting me

We're taking it out on each other in bed

And I got burned by the thrill of emotion

Now look at my concern

There's still a lot of life to live

And plenty for this young man to learn 

My lust is so bestial 

Anomaly fits me to a tee

You're love isn't love all the time

Sometimes it's venal 

My best bet is harakiri

Maybe now it is too late to forfend any damage to my soul

You're so intransigent to all that's around you

 You ruined all of your goals

I got caught in the thrill of emotion 

I didn't use my head

I'm trusting you

You're busting me

We're taking it out on each other in bed

And I got burned by the thrill of emotion

Now look at my concern

There's still a lot of life to live

And plenty for this young man to learn

There is no easy way around the block

Time is ticking on the clock

My fear is running wild in the street

There is no easy way to break the news

You think you are winning

But you know you're gonna lose

Maybe now it is too late to forfend any damage to my heart

You're so opaque and that's a fact 

You like to tear me all apart

I got caught in the thrill of emotion 

I didn't use my head

I'm trusting you

You're busting me

We're taking it out on each other in bed

And I got burned by the thrill of emotion

Now look at my concern

There's still a lot of life to live

And plenty for this young man to learn

Survive The Fall

SURVIVE THE FALL - Written by Carroll Bryant

Her man is in prison

Locked behind steel bars 

Her love still grows

They can never lock him away too far

Because in their heart of hearts 

Both of them knows

That time is just a moment 

And the moment stands still inside

She seems to fight emotion

She knows that she can run 

But she can't hide

So it's love separated by a wall

A love that is destined to survive the fall

How does she handle it all?

Love separated by a wall

The warden smiles all day long

He glances in the cage

He knows his mind is strong

Prisoners have to fight their rage

He knows he won't be in there long

Dreams are still the perfect weapon

And that weapon tears across his soul

In life you have to learn your lesson

He knows he can't run because there's nowhere to go

So it's love separated by a wall

A love that is destined to survive the fall

How does he handle it all?

Love separated by a wall

All day long it's slamming of the doors

Can't take it anymore

But he hangs in there to do his time

Knowing full well he could lose his mind

All day long she's watching time

It goes by oh, so slow

Her man is in prison

Locked behind steel bars 

Her love still grows

They can never lock him away too far

Because in their heart of hearts 

Both of them knows

Both of them knows

That it's love separated by a wall

A love that is destined to survive the fall

How do they handle it all?

Love separated by a wall

 Love separated by a wall

A love that is destined to survive the fall

How do they handle it all?

Love separated by a wall

Hard Knocks

HARD KNOCKS - Written by Carroll Bryant

It’s been a long time

I can’t get it out of my head

Words can be unkind

Like blue can be painted red

You keep spinning the truth

They keep spinning the lies

They keep blaming their youth

You keep rolling the dice

Bullies like what they say

And they like what they do

Don’t go wishing it that way

Someday they’ll be coming for you too

It’s been a wild night

And visions can replace the dark

It was a dog fight

But I had to defend my heart

Girls will run around town

While they play with their toys

Just like Patrick Brown

Likes to play with little boys

You can squeeze all the blood

From the palm of your hand

Hide behind your fake love

Or you can make your own stand

And in the mystery of life

You seek for wisdom and for something wise

The school of hard knocks always has classes

Morning, noon and night

They’re nothing but asses

It was a rough ride

Glad to see it finally end

No, you can’t hide

Behind a false prophet or friend

You keep spinning instead

They keep jumping the gun

They keep spinning their web

You keep them on the run

Bullies like what they say

And they like what they do

Don’t go wishing it that way

Someday they’ll be coming for you too

They will be coming for you

Only The Lonely

ONLY THE LONELY - Written by Carroll Bryant

I better watch my step

High stride

I got to get out of this mess I'm in

All I need is time 

Or the look from another pair of eyes

It's not you or your un-originality

It's all about the feelings

Or the ones you no longer bring to me

Maybe we both will learn from this ordeal

Maybe we both let go of the wheel

Love no longer grows

Only the lonely would know 

How that feels

Knowledge is power 

Slide down

No one has the heart to explain it

Except for the man on the moon

Or a demented clown

Sometimes we're faced with choices

Tough decisions we must make

We never seem to fight for time

Blame is our favorite rhyme 

Two people who never give to get what they take

Maybe we both will learn from this mess

Maybe we both took and failed the big test

Love no longer shows

Only the lonely would know 

How that is

You seek revenge with the help

Of your political friends

They really want to help you

So does the man on the moon

Nobody will admit they know or that they understand

Just know that demented clown has a glove

Covering his hand

This love is far from being alive

It doesn't know what it means to live

Your second thought is to say

You want to try and persuade me to stay

But I won't stay with you

Maybe we both will learn from this ordeal

Maybe we both let go of the wheel

Love no longer grows

Only the lonely would know 

How that feels

Only the lonely like me and you

Broken Heart

BROKEN HEART - Written by Carroll Bryant 

If I was to answer the question of love

I would have to say that I don't understand it enough

To be a joker is to be a loser I know

I chill

I got no will

I got nowhere to go

I just can't get over this

Over you

Suffer pain and ache from a broken heart

Like a bird that's lost the desire to sing

Life, to this creature, without you

Doesn't mean a damn thing

You're a dancer

I'm a loner they say

I choke

I go up in smoke

Fall to my knees like a joke

Because I can't get over you

I try and try and I cry and cry

I don't know what to do

Anymore

Suffer pain and ache from a broken heart

Why was I made to be like this?

I feel like a sissy throwing a big fit

Why can't I forget it?

Forget you?

I never acted like this before

Why can't I forget it?

Like a king without a queen living in a castle of sand

I lost my fight when I lost your hand

The peasants are really pissed throughout the land

To be a fool is to be uncool 

This much we already seem to understand

A lost soul and I think

I need to go out and get myself a drink

Because I can't seem to get over you

No matter what the hell I try to do

I try and try and I cry and cry

I just don't know what to do

Anymore

Suffer pain and ache from a broken heart 

System Of The Down

SYSTEM OF THE DOWN - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Everything is broken

Anyone can see

Violence and hate from the democratic party 

Kids acting just like children

Death stare from their eyes

Rabid blood falling from the unforgiving skies

System of the down 

Fear all around

Protesting behind the evil wall of their lies

System of the down

Stupid's what they found

They don't even seem to be the least bit satisfied 

Get it for free or stolen

This is what they know

Runaways who can't find their way home

Burning down their cities

Putting on a show

Together all the way and so alone 

System of the down 

Fear all around

Protesting behind the evil wall of their lies

System of the down

Stupid's what they found

They don't even seem to be the least bit satisfied

They use their anger to try and get

What they want

Sold out by Bernie Sanders so they

Blame it all on Trump

Lawlessness that rules the day 

Their hate is just their love

They never bothered to rock their vote so they

Blame it all on Trump

Everything is broken

Anyone can see

Violence and hate from the democratic party

Kids acting just like children

Death stare from their eyes

Rabid blood falling from the unforgiving skies

System of the down 

Fear all around

Protesting behind the evil wall of their lies

System of the down

Stupid's what they found

They don't even seem to be the least bit satisfied

With anything 

Their love says it's time to riot!

 

The Idiot

THE IDIOT - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I don't understand it

One moment I am consumed by the fire of the Netherworld

The next, I am consumed by you

The angel of salvation

I can't sleep tonight

I can't get you off my mind

Even placing the shirt you left behind on my pillow

Does no good

It only makes me want you here more

I should have just driven to you last night

Like you did for me the night before

Why am I such an idiot?

Why do I always have to play it so God damn cool?

When the truth is, I want to unleash everyone of

These feelings onto you in one big wave

Then I think about what I put you through

I wonder how I made it through when in fact

I wonder how you made it too

My torment was of my own doing

Yours was at the expense of mine

Why am I such an idiot?

You waited

You waited for me and you waited

Then you waited some more

How did you know I belonged to you?

How did you see it when I couldn’t see two inches in front of me?

How does a woman do that? See the future so well?

How did you know?

I am the one with visions

You must be the one with insight

You must just be the one

You are the one

I see that now

I know that now

Still, your scent on your shirt spins my heart into a frenzy

A longing

A need that only your presence can satisfy

How did this happen?

Why am I not scared?

I used to be, but no more

Not with you

I know you now more than I ever thought I could

Or would

Or wanted to

If it’s this bad now then how is it I am going to be able to wait for a whole year?

Or even until September, when we’re to move in together?

Maybe I can’t wait that long

Maybe I don’t want to wait that long

Damn it!

Why didn’t I drive to you last night?

Why am I such an idiot?

I can’t stop thinking about you

Better yet, I don’t want to stop thinking about you

I can’t eat

I can’t sleep

I can’t stop

I know you’re going to read this soon

I know you’re going to ask me why I can’t just say these things to you

Out loud

My only answer is … I don’t know

I’m an idiot?

The past few weeks leading up to last Saturday have been surreal

When we finally succumbed to our longing

The explosion inside of me killed them all

Killed everyone of those bad memories

Those horrible creatures that lurked inside my broken heart

That they themselves created

And laughed at

It was you who put the pieces back together

It was you who found a way to make me work again

To make me a human being again

To make me functional once more

Where did you get the strength?

How did you do it?

How did you know?

How is it that it took me so long to realize?

I know, I know … I am an idiot

Damn it!

I should have just driven to you last night

Jibberish

JIBBERISH - Written by Carroll Bryant

Listen to the president

His speech is something that he read

But didn't write himself

He claims it's coming from the heart

Well, it's sure not coming from his head

It's coming from your congressman 

Selling it to everyone

Purchased by the F.B.I. 

Stolen for the C.I.A.

They're trying to give it away

And now it's coming from the judge

Law enforcement holds a grudge

Baltimore

Ferguson 

Messages that are subliminal 

That everyone is a criminal

Black

Why you talking jibberish?

Don't want to hear your jibberish

Talking, talking jibberish

Please stop talking jibberish

Teachers in the classroom

Often times they talk too soon

Preachers and prime ministers 

Chefs that are cooking up something sinister 

Too many times the people you meet

They simply pass you by on the street

And all the shows are a rating game

Lovers who mate under a different name

Why you talking jibberish?

Don't want to hear your jibberish

Talking, talking jibberish

Please stop talking jibberish

Why you talking jibberish?

Don't want to hear your jibberish

Talking, talking jibberish

Please stop talking jibberish

Listen to the president 

Then listen to me

Please stop talking jibberish 

Bermuda Triangle

BERMUDA TRIANGLE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Where the mystery awakens 

That is where the air is fresh and sweet

Where the people are taken

That is where beliefs love to feed

Information has a need

Presumption lives a lonely life

Angels are faceless dreams

Mutants are roaming the waves

Spirits are passionately screaming

Where the zenith shines upon you

That is where the wounds of god will heal 

Where the power of the stone is true

That is where the swords of justice kill

Begging to be believed 

And vulgar is vulgar 

Where others have passionately died 

Treason is lonely 

Firmament is deluding angels 

And you to be deleted 

Lost in the devils triangle 

Swimming profusely 

Drowning seductively 

Lost in the electrical fog

Lost in the devils home

A beggar once accosted me

I fought him off

I cursed him

I gave him the future of a ghost 

On My Way Down

ON MY WAY DOWN - Written by Carroll Bryant

Have you been forgotten?

Do you even care at all?

The taste of love so rotten

Broken in pieces from the fall

What is all of this screaming?

Can't anybody hear?

Won't no one come to your rescue?

All of your people disappear

What can take forever may never come around

What can make the moment may never make a sound

You go to sleep too easy But I can't sleep right now

On my way down 

I'm giving up on love

On my way down

I'm getting used to looking up

I'm the worlds biggest clown

You should know all of this by now

I hope you come around

But for now

I'm on my way down

You won't try again because you are discouraged?

Sometimes that's how it goes

You can never win without your courage

This you already know

What is all of this bleeding?

Can't anyone stop the pain?

Broken hearts are hard to healing 

Very few ever remain

What can take forever may never come around

What can make the moment may never make a sound

You go to sleep too easy But I can't sleep right now

On my way down 

I'm giving up on love

On my way down

I'm getting used to looking up

I'm the worlds biggest clown

You should know all of this by now

I hope you come around

But for now

I'm on my way down

You think that you're the only one left without a touch

There must be another one who is thinking way too much

You believe you're the only one who is lost without a trace

There might be another one in the crowd with a lonelier face

What can take forever may never come around

What can make the moment may never make a sound

You go to sleep too easy But I can't sleep right now

On my way down 

I'm giving up on love

On my way down

I'm getting used to looking up

I'm the worlds biggest clown

You should know all of this by now

I hope you come around

But for now

I'm on my way down

I love how love may sound

But I can't think right now

I'm on my way down
