You're Not Alone

YOU'RE NOT ALONE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Walk down the road of your young life

I will be there in spirit

My words, can you hear it?

Do anything you want

Because you can accomplish

Just be brave and make that wish

Even when you feel so down and out

You want to give up

Or just walk away

But girl you must stop

Take time to here me say

You’re not alone

I’m telling you so

You can smile and you can play

You know I’m here every day you need me

You’re not alone

All you have to do is pick up that phone

And call me when you’re losing the fight

And I’ll tell you if it takes all night

My friend, you’re not alone

When it’s your time

To celebrate the things in your life

Every time you reach a milestone

Clap for yourself once in a while

You’ll feel better just to know

I’m clapping for you too

Even when the earth stops moving

You want to pretend

That this is the end

And you can’t help to think you’re losing

You’re not alone

I’m telling you so

You can smile and you can play

You know I’m here every day you need me

You’re not alone

All you have to do is pick up that phone

And call me when you’re losing the fight

And I’ll tell you if it takes all night

My friend, you’re not alone

I’ll gather in the circle

In the center of your attention

You deserve so much credit

For being such a superstar to me

You do so many great things

For so many others that I

Just can’t believe that you would even consider

Wasting your precious time on me

When you’re such a special young lady

Always driving me crazy

But only in a good way

Only in the greatest way of all

You’re not alone

I’m telling you so

You can smile and you can play

You know I’m here every day you need me

You’re not alone

All you have to do is pick up that phone

And call me when you’re losing the fight

And I’ll tell you if it takes all night

My friend, you’re not alone

You’re beautiful

And you’re not alone

You’re not alone

The Fraud

THE FRAUD - Written by Carroll Bryant 

She’s a Mexican girl who plays with guys

She can’t tell the truth so she tells a bunch of lies

She hides behind a fake name because she likes to disguise

Her empty eyes

She wouldn’t know the truth if it walked up and smacked her

She’s a cold hearted bitch with an even more cold laughter

When she isn’t cutting, she is on the hunt

For another boy to destroy

The only reason she appears to be happy

Is because she makes other people’s life crappy

Or at least she tries because she doesn’t care

About anybody else but herself

She is the epitome of evil, A two faced whore

Her poetry sucks  and sucks so much more

A make believe personality

Just quite simply put, a make believe girl

She knows what I say is true

I know her more than you do

But as well as one man does

Who tried to be her friend and tried to show her love

But she leads him on and to a big fall

Pretending to be some kind of Barbie doll

I know she has issues but I doubt that she cuts

Because sympathy is something she loves so much

And as I mentioned before about all of her lies

And on the first line that she likes to play with guys

Everything I written and everything I said

Is true just like the fact she likes to mess with people’s head

But one day soon it will all catch up to her

Like she would even care, I’m sure

Because I have seen many just like her

Hungry for daddy’s love in her messed up little world

So she will continue to sleep with a million guys

And she will continue to speak a million lies

Never to care and never to matter

Can’t wait for the day when her whole life shatters

And she’ll fall to her knees with tears

From the insanity of her insane years

I’ll cheer and I’ll cheer and oh, how I will cheer

Because you’re nothing but a fraud little Mexican dear

Kid In A Candy Store

KID IN A CANDY STORE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

If you’re looking for some fun

I could give you some

If you’re looking for a good time

I could blow your mind

If you’re looking for a man

Baby, here I am

If you’re looking for some love

I got that magic touch

I couldn’t ask for anything more

Baby, I’m nothing but a kid

A kid in a candy store

A kid in a candy store

If you’re looking for a fight

Girl, I can go all night

If you’re looking for some sin

I could work that in

If you’re looking for to scream

Then I’m the man of your dreams

If you’re wanting it hard

I can rip it apart

You might think that I’m a man-whore

But really I’m nothing but a kid

A kid in a candy store

A kid in a candy store

I can’t come down from all of this

Looking around and all I see is

Sweet looking ladies everywhere

You know that I just want my share

If you’re looking for a heart

Well, I’m the place you can start

If you’re looking for it tough

I can get a little rough

If you’re looking to get stung

I got an eager tongue

If you’re looking for some charm

Then fall into my arms

Girls keep knocking down on my door

Looking for me, for the kid

The kid in a candy store

The kid in a candy store

I couldn’t ask for anything more

Baby, I’m nothing but a kid

A kid in a candy store

A kid in a candy store

You might think that I’m a man-whore

But really all I am is a kid

A kid in a candy store

A kid in a candy store

Girls, keep knocking down on my door

Looking for me, for the kid

The kid in a candy store

The kid in a candy store

I couldn’t ask for anything more

Baby, I’m nothing but a kid

A kid in a candy store

A kid in a candy store

San Diego

SAN DIEGO - Written by Carroll Bryant  

I can’t sleep

Knowing that you’re on my mind

I can’t eat

Never seem to find the time

When all I ever wanted was a dream come true

I had to go and bump into you

And now I’m living a lie

Telling myself that I just can’t survive

Always trying to hide the map of my life

That’s showing me where I should go

Knowing what I’ve should have always known

I need to be with you tonight somewhere in San Diego

I can’t think

There’s nothing else left inside

I just drink

Watching as it all goes by

When all I needed was a golden rule

You had to go and make me a fool

And now I have to realize

Telling myself that I just can’t surmise

Always trying to hide the make of my ride

That’s showing me where I should go

Knowing what I’ve should have always known

I want to be with you tonight somewhere in San Diego

Phone calls and letters are so nice

But they don’t make me feel better

And with my love on the line

I jump into that car of mine tonight

When all I ever wanted was a dream come true

I had to go and bump into you

You know what I say is true

And now I’m living a lie

Telling myself that I just can’t survive

Always trying to hide the map of my life

That’s showing me where I should go

Knowing what I’ve should have always known

I need to be with you tonight somewhere in San Diego

I driving down the map of my life

On a road to San Diego

I’m heading to San Diego

Tonight!

Somewhere In Mexico

SOMEWHERE IN MEXICO - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I’m drinking tequila with a girl named Maria

And dancing on the tip of my toes

Eating burritos with Jose and Tito

While the salt air is burning my nose

I’m living on sunshine, going straight out of my mind

It’s like being in a picture show

Trapped incognito with these pesky mosquito’s

Without a woman that I used know

I feel like a ragweed in lieu of a big sneeze

Harping of the good old days

Getting my tan on while the tourists have long gone

Parting in our separate ways

Drowning my sorrow in the words of tomorrow

Aching for some better shade

Sucking on sand crab like a delirious Arab

Under clouds of cherry marmalade

I woke up somewhere in Mexico

I got lost on some old whiskey Joe

It’s almost like I just don’t care

This old heart is bare

She took it somewhere I can’t go

Somewhere down in that old Mexico

It’s such a long way from Tobacco Road

It’s almost like a water slide

Without the good time

With people I don’t want to know

Somewhere down in Mexico

I’m watching the sunset and buddy I could bet

She’s watching with a different view

Taking in a full moon like a sweet Sunday monsoon

Making love to Mr. you know who

I couldn’t give a good damn so why am I so down man?

I can’t lie to tell the freaking truth

I haven’t any new plans for the sake of my weekend

There’s nothing here for me to do

I woke up somewhere in Mexico

I got lost on some old whiskey Joe

It’s almost like I just don’t care

This old heart is bare

She took it somewhere I can’t go

Somewhere down in that old Mexico

It’s such a long way from Tobacco Road

It’s almost like a water slide

Without the good time

With people I don’t want to know

Somewhere down in Mexico

In the early morning slow rain there is dew on my cold brain

And a daiquiri in my hand

With sounds of the ocean as I move in slow motion

My feet buried in the sand

Feeling so high strung from all of this ho-hum

I wish I was a different man

Senhoritas are singing in my head that is ringing

I wish they’d sing a different hymn

I woke up somewhere in Mexico

I got lost on some old whiskey Joe

It’s almost like I just don’t care

This old heart is bare

She took it somewhere I can’t go

Somewhere down in that old Mexico

It’s such a long way from Tobacco Road

It’s almost like a water slide

Without the good time

With people I don’t want to know

Somewhere down in Mexico

I got lost on some old whiskey Joe

It’s almost like I just don’t care

This old heart is bare

She took it somewhere I can’t go

Somewhere down in that old Mexico

It’s such a long way from Tobacco Road

It’s almost like a water slide

Without the good time

With people I don’t want to know

Somewhere down in Mexico

Dark Screams (Lost Angel)

DARK SCREAMS (LOST ANGEL) - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Your memory keeps filling my head

I keep walking around like the dead

Ever since you left you know that I have been this way

Your apparition keeps following me around

My affirmation is to lose what I found

Such a funny story yet so sad for anyone to say

Our love was the butt of all their jokes

To watch it all go up in smoke is so killing me

I’m screaming in the dark once again

Can’t shut you out when you’re already in

You’re my lost angel now and I can’t figure out

How I let you to become my true sin

Reality is not my best friend

I’m screaming way out loud, but you can’t hear a sound

You’re my lost angel now

Your heated passion keeps flowing in my blood

I’m still the fashion that you always hate to love

Just another trend for the rest of the world to believe

You're just a whisper in the flow of empty words

I keep pretending your syllables didn’t hurt

Living in the pages of another distant dictionary

Our love was nothing or everything

So impossible for me to just throw it away

I’m screaming in the dark once again

Can’t shut you out when you’re already in

You’re my lost angel now and I can’t figure out

How I let you to become my true sin

Reality is not my best friend

I’m screaming way out loud, but you can’t hear a sound

You’re my lost angel now

I thought I saw forever dancing in your eyes

To always be together until I realized

I was caught in a fantasy that appeared to be so real

And though it was painful to be

In love it’s all about how you feel

Our love was just a fabulous lie

One that I cannot deny anymore

I’m screaming in the dark once again

Can’t shut you out when you’re already in

You’re my lost angel now and I can’t figure out

How I let you to become my true sin

Reality is not my best friend

I’m screaming way out loud, but you can’t hear a sound

You’re my lost angel now

My heart is shouting out, but you won’t hear a sound

You’re my lost angel now

I’m screaming way out loud, but you don’t hear a sound

You’re my lost angel now

Toxic Love

TOXIC LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant

I can feel the fire getting hot

Burning through my skin

These emotions that are wearing thin

If you had a heart, you wouldn’t stop

I can tell there’s magic in your eyes

One touch of your hand

And it’s clear that I’m a ravished man

How long for us to reach the finish line?

It’s so pure

You’re so sure

Innocent persuasions locked away in isolation

It’s so fine

Like cherry wine

Guilty are the pleasures of our lonely sweet endeavors

I can feel you breathe inside my lungs

Addicting me completely

With your illogic toxic sweetness

Stealing all of my oxygen

I can see beyond your simple kiss

You force me to uncover

My desire to be your lover

A rumor that you know I can’t resist

It’s so real

What we feel

Acknowledging with accolades, what we put on display

It’s so plain

Like acid rain

Microscopic particles posing as our obstacles

Our love is just a toxic chemical

It’s so-so

What we know

Thinner than spaghetti, and we think that we are ready

It’s so clear

Like we fear

Falling on a hand grenade for you my love, I aim to save

I can feel the fire getting hot

Burning through my skin

These emotions that are wearing thin

If you had a heart, you wouldn’t stop

Take from me, anything you want

Take from me, everything I got

It’s so pure

You’re so sure

Innocent persuasions locked away in isolation

It’s so fine

Like cherry wine

Guilty are the pleasures of our lonely sweet endeavors

It’s so real

What we feel

Acknowledging with accolades, what we put on display

It’s so plain

Like acid rain

Microscopic particles posing as our obstacles

Our love is just a toxic chemical

Our love is just a toxic chemical

Our love is just a toxic chemical

Swagger

SWAGGER - Written by Carroll Bryant

I like that swagger

I like that look

Baby, you’re going to be my brand new book

From beginning to end, I’m reading you good

Baby, what do you say?

You and me together this way?

It’s just this game I play

Where I take you home and show you the love

I do this everyday

I see a beautiful girl and I lose all control

It’s something I don’t know how to explain

I like that swagger

I like that size

Baby, you’re killing me with those eyes

From your sexy body to your long blonde hair

Baby, take a chance with me?

We could lose ourselves endlessly

It’s just this game I play

Where I take you home and show you the love

I do this everyday

I see a beautiful girl and I lose all control

It’s something I don’t know how to explain

I like that swagger

I like that style

Baby, you’re thrilling me with that smile

From here to eternity and all the while

Baby, what do you mean?

I’m not what I seem

It’s just this game I play

Where I take you home and show you the love

I do this everyday

I see a beautiful girl and I lose all control

It’s something I don’t know how to explain

It’s something that could grow someday

But I do like your swagger, baby girl

All Because

ALL BECAUSE - Written by Carroll Bryant

When you finally find your way

Do you think her memory will fade?

And do you think she ever thinks about you?

When you know you lost your chance

After falling victim to a circumstance

Do you think she feels the way you do?

I could paint the night with memories

If I thought that it would help me

Help me to understand

Where do the lonely go?

From a broken heart to a girl I used to know

She walks around forgetting about me

Where do the lonely cry?

In the dark or underneath the morning sky?

All the while she’s forgetting about me

All because she doesn’t know how to love

When you finally get control

Do you think you’ll lose your soul?

And do you think she’d ever want it back?

When you know you lost your mind

After you break away from useless time

Do you think she’s still on the attack?

I could paint the day with sympathy

If I thought that it would help me

Help me to be a better man

Where do the lonely go?

From a broken heart to a girl I used to know

She walks around forgetting about me

Where do the lonely cry?

In the dark or underneath the morning sky?

All the while she’s forgetting about me

All because she doesn’t know how to love

If ever there come a reason that

I could change the color of the seasons

And fill up all the empty spaces I can find

Would she still be mine?

If ever there come a notion that

I could arrange another hopeless emotion

And pack up all the boxes I can find

Would she still be mine?

When you finally find your way

Do you think her memory will fade?

And do you think she ever thinks about you?

I bet she never does

Where do the lonely go?

From a broken heart to a girl I used to know

She walks around forgetting about me

Where do the lonely cry?

In the dark or underneath the morning sky?

All the while she’s forgetting about me

All because she doesn’t know how to love

I bet she never does

All because she doesn’t know how to love

But Seriously

BUT SERIOUSLY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

When in the middle of the night

And I’m too drunk to see your face

I shake my head and roll my eyes

Laugh out loud and what the freak

I’ve got to come clean with everything

Bare my soul and bare my skin

I really hate to breathe the air you bring

I really hate my heart for letting you in

I can’t blink it all away

Holding hands with your nubility

Couldn’t I see what it was gonna do to me?

Let’s play it out right to the end

One more time

Yeah girl, but seriously

We’re not lovers and we’re not friends

Just two more memories

Yeah girl, but seriously

You know what I mean?

In the stir of echoes when angels cry

And you’re too weak inside your euphoria

You take to tequila and bloodshot guys

Roll them for moments inside of the hysteria

I’ve got to undo my illicit dreams

Bare my head and bare my clothes

I really hate to eat the food you bring

I really hate my life for letting you go

I can’t think of what to say

Holding hands with your animosity

Couldn’t I see what you were gonna do to me?

Let’s play it out right to the end

Blow my mind

Yeah girl, but seriously

We’re not lovers and we’re not friends

Just two more memories

Yeah girl, but seriously

What do I mean?

You tell me

I’ve got to come clean with everything

Bare my soul and bare my skin

I really hate to breathe the air you bring

I really hate my heart for letting you in

I’ve got to undo my illicit dreams

Bare my head and bare my clothes

I really hate to eat the food you bring

I really hate my life for letting you go

I can’t drink it all away

Holding hands with your philosophy

Couldn’t I see what it was gonna do to me?

Let’s play it out right to the end

One more time

Yeah girl, but seriously

We’re not lovers and we’re not friends

Just two more memories

Yeah girl, but seriously

Let’s play it out right to the end

Blow my mind

Yeah girl, but seriously

We’re not lovers and we’re not friends

Just two more memories

Yeah girl, but seriously

Yeah girl, but seriously

Yeah girl, but seriously

A Distant Memory

A DISTANT MEMORY - Written by Carroll Bryant

You came unannounced

Prepared to take me down

And I … fell into your spell

You ran all around

So scared of what you found

And I … was pulled in oh, so well

The world was ours to own

But you left me all alone

And never in our history

Did you ever say you were sorry

Every now and then I might pretend

That somewhere in your heart

There’s a place for you and me

Every single day I watch it fade away

Until I’m just aloof enough to be

A distant memory

You came with the wind

Prepared to feed me sin

And I … opened up my mouth

You danced in my sights

Claiming all my nights

And I … couldn’t find my way out

The world was ours to play

The ways you did betray

And never in the life did you live

In a house where you could ever forgive

Every now and then I might pretend

That somewhere in your heart

There’s a place for you and me

Every single day I watch it fade away

Until I’m just aloof enough to be

A distant memory

The jaded words you used ... to kiss

Hit their target

You never miss the chance

To roll up all your sleeves

Then punch me in the face before you leave

The crazy way you sneak

Is the magic

You can’t believe the trance

Your lips did put on me

And never left a trace of anything

You came unannounced

Prepared to take me down

And I … fell into your spell

Into your hell

You never say you’re sorry

Every now and then I might pretend

That somewhere in your heart

There’s a place for you and me

Every single day I watch it fade away

Until I’m just aloof enough to be

A distant memory

And everyday it seems to me to be

A distant memory

And you never say you’re sorry 

Seriously

SERIOUSLY - Written by Carroll Bryant

Seriously, what did we have?

What was so great that I should never forget?

All I remember is hanging on your every word

Telling me how wonderful everything was going to be

Then like a prank phone call, you hung up on me

Seriously, what did we have?

What was it that melted my heart?

A heart you later destroyed

All I remember is you fighting with me

I woke up one morning and you hated me

"We're not friends!" This is what you said

"We're not friends!" And pain in my head

"We're not friends!" Now I am dead

Seriously, what did we have?

What did you throw away?

What made me who I am today?

Seriously

No, really, seriously

What was so great that I should always remember?

Walking straight into the blast on the Eve of September

An explosion that rocked and shattered my world

To think I thought you were my girl

Seriously, what did we have?

Seriously
