Scavenger

SCAVENGER - Written by Carroll Bryant

I’m a scavenger of love

I’m a scavenger of life

When push comes to shove 

I can feel the knife

I can’t get enough

I just can’t get it right

All that I touch falls right out of sight

I feed off everything that’s left from what a

Broken heart can bring

I have to take what’s left

Just second best

Forget about anything

I’m a scavenger of hate

I’m a scavenger true

I can’t simulate a solitary thing with you

I cannot forget

I cannot reclaim

All that can break falls right into two

I feed off anything that’s left from what a

Sacred soul can’t bring

I have to take what’s best

A written test

Forget about everything

Forget about anything

We were in line, ready to check out

Sharing our thoughts like we knew what it was all about

We didn’t even yell

We didn’t even scream

We were living a bad dream

We were dealing with a bad thing

I’m a scavenger of promise

I’m a scavenger of pain

When the day gets lost, I might stipulate

I can’t back down

I just can’t stand up

All that it costs simply takes the cake

I feed off everything that’s left from what a

Broken heart can bring

I have to take what’s left

It’s such a mess

Forget about anything

I feed off anything that’s left from what a

Sacred soul can’t bring

I have to take what’s best

Like all the rest

Forget about everything

Forget about anything

Forget about everything

Forget about it
