The Great Unknown

THE GREAT UNKNOWN - Written by Carroll Bryant

Walking down the trail of life

Taking in all the sights

My eyes fall upon you

And in my mind I see the light

At the moment of your delight

It’s true … girl it’s so true

I got carried away

Then the next thing I know everything starts to shatter

Everything meaningful no longer matters

I fall into the great abyss

The next thing I know everything is something

All that you gave me turned out to be nothing

I crawl into my emptiness

And no, I will not pretend that this ain’t the end

I know it is and now I finally find out what it is to hurt

And yes, I’ll climb out of this you see

But I still just can’t believe

You played me and all I got was this mother fucking shirt

Waking up inside my day

Nothing left for me to say

Except that I am a fool

Through all the riffs and arguments

Wasted energy I have spent

On you, girl, all of it on you

The next thing I know everything is shaking

My stupid heart just keeps on breaking

I slide right into hell

The next thing I know I can see you crying

Bowing your head just to hide your smiling

Running back to the one with the dirty smell

You got carried away

And no, I will not pretend that this ain’t the end

I know it is and now I finally find out what it is to hurt

And yes, I’ll climb out of this you see

But I still just can’t believe

You played me and all I got was this mother fucking shirt

I suppose that I should thank you

And what you did to me

You opened up my eyes when I was blinded

I suppose that I should be grateful

This world is a handful

If you let it then you’re gonna run out of time

Walking down the trail of life

My eyes fall on you

The great unknown

I stand alone

I guess I just got carried away again

And no, I will not pretend that this ain’t the end

I know it is and now I finally find out what it is to hurt

And yes, I’ll climb out of this you see

But I still just can’t believe

You played me and all I got was this mother fucking shirt

And no, I will not pretend that this ain’t the end

I know it is and now I finally find out what it is to hurt

And yes, I’ll climb out of this you see

But I still just can’t believe

You played me and all I got was this mother fucking shirt
