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
