Don't Wanna Be Superman

DON'T WANNA BE SUPERMAN - Written by Carroll Bryant

You came to me 

Wishing for hope and a distant dream 

Now look at me 

Walking away from this misery

What do you see?

I tremble at the thought that 

You believe I can save you 

When I can't even save myself 

I'm flying away as fast as I can 

I don't wanna be Superman 

And I run away into another land 

Real or pretend

I don't wanna be Superman 

I turn my head without a care 

You lured me in on lies and a dare 

Now you know for sure who I am 

I'm a fraud of your best friend 

Now can you see it?

I quiver in my shoes when I look at you

I can't sell time

When I can't even buy a life 

I'm flying away as fast as I can 

I don't wanna be Superman

And I run away into another land 

Real or pretend 

I don't wanna be Superman

Too much pain for Lois Lane 

Smallville, you see, is only make-believe

Too much rain for cloudy days 

I can't be seen feeling this way 

I tremble at the thought that

You believe I can save you

When I can't even save myself 

I'm flying away as fast as I can 

I don't wanna be Superman

And I run away into another land 

Real or pretend 

I don't wanna be Superman

I'm flying away as fast as I can 

I don't wanna be him

And I run away into another land 

Real or pretend 

I don't wanna be Superman

I don't wanna be him

I don't wanna be Superman

This Life (The Big Suck)

THIS LIFE (THE BIG SUCK) - Written by Carroll Bryant

I drink more than a Christian prays

Less than a Muslim

Anyway, that aint what I'm trying to say

I don't know myself anymore

Everything goes to pieces in my sleep

In my dreams the violence never goes away

As myself just disappears

No one knows what for

This life is worse than the last one

Better than the first one

Everything is so dumb

Everyone

This life lacks blowing the big sneeze

They love the big cheese

But it stinks way too much for me

This life is just too easy

I dance more than an old Mexican whore

The grave is still fresh and

Aren't they all that way so naturally

Nobody sees Mexico indeed

Everyday breaks up into a puzzle

Chunks ripping apart the fabric of us

Of America and we are in trouble

Stuck on Jesus wifi for Christs sake

This life is worse than the last one

Better than the first one

Everything is so dumb

Everyone

This life lacks blowing the big sneeze

They love the big cheese

But it stinks way too much for me

This life is just too easy

Decay

Welcome Kardashians

Trashing up the neighborhood

Cable TV

So far from reality

Decay of society

Aint helping my sobriety

Staring at these four walls is driving me batty

This life is driving me crazy

Driving Miss Daisy

Will somebody help me?

Stop me?

I need a fresh drink

This life is worse than the last one

Better than the first one

Everything is so dumb

Everyone

This life lacks blowing the big sneeze

They love the big cheese

But it stinks way too much for me

This life is just too easy

Hit The Floor

HIT THE FLOOR - Written by Carroll Bryant

Look at me

I'm looking at you

This is the night that we do what we want to do

I'm so unsatisfied

I need this to be so much more

Of what I feel inside

Hit the floor

Baby, let's hit the floor

Love is the key that unlocks the door

Hit the floor

Turn up the heat

Things are cooling down

This is the time that we meet in the streets

I'm so uninhibited

I want this to be something extravagant

Of what I meant to believe

Hit the floor

Baby, let's hit the floor

Love is the key that unlocks the door

Hit the floor

This is where we draw the line

Crossing the great divide

This is how we search to find

(True love)

A way to solve the mystery

Fighting a crime

Look at me

I'm looking right back at you

What do you see?

What do you think you want to do?

If we are in need

Then maybe you could make a move

Hit the floor

Baby, let's hit the floor

Love is the key that unlocks the door

Hit the floor

Hit the floor

Baby, let's hit the floor

Love is the key that unlocks the door

Hit the floor

Aneurysm

ANEURYSM - Written by Carroll Bryant

Every time that I hold you

You scare me - insane

It involves all three layers of the wall

Of everyone of my arteries

And my main vein

 

When we're making the love

It gets ridiculous

Circles of Willis

 

It's like a sex attack

My heart gets stuck

From a hypovolemic shock

 

I'm falling apart once again

Crazy in the brain

An aneurysm, baby, and you are to blame

Emergency

That's the name of the game

You're breaking me down in the middle of the rain

 

A nidus for clot formation

Thrombosis and embolization

It's a hereditary state of condition

My father was found dead from it

A bleeding remission

 

Women of the world holding the power

Male aorta's getting devoured

Sex is only for the beasts to enjoy it

 

I'm falling apart once again

Crazy in the brain

An aneurysm, baby, and you are to blame

Emergency

That's the name of the game

You're breaking me down in the middle of the pain

 

The risk of rupture increases when you kiss my lips

It's an abnormal release

An abnormal kind of bliss

 

The risk of rupture increases when you sex me up

Can't get enough of

An aneurysm love

 

Every time that I hold you

You scare me - insane

It involves all three layers of the wall

Of everyone of my arteries

And my main vein

 

I'm falling apart once again

Crazy in the brain

An aneurysm, baby, and you are to blame

Emergency

That's the name of the game

You're breaking me down in the middle of the rain

 

I'm falling apart once again

Crazy in the brain

An aneurysm, baby, and you are to blame

Emergency

That's the name of the game

You're breaking me down in the middle of the pain

 

It's serious action

A fatal satisfaction that puts a smile on a lonely face

 

My father was found dead from it

Like father, like son

 

Aneurysm


 

In Love, In Danger

IN LOVE, IN DANGER - Written by Carroll Bryant

It's a cookie cutter world

When you look at me that way

I can't complain

And yet I still do

I try to get away with it, I confess

I admit nothing of truth

 

Don't make this into your fantasy

Don't turn it into another Broadway play

 

And I fall - in deep - in love, in danger

My heart is a stranger

I fall - asleep - in love, in danger

My heart is a stranger to it

 

You - and the mirror loses its reflection

My life is a rejection and jaded

I force my mind to pretend I'm always on vacation

I'm trying to get away with it

I concede it's so full of shit

 

Don't make this into a song of seduction

Don't turn it into another under construction 

 

And I fall - in deep - in love, in danger

My heart is a stranger

I fall - asleep - in love, in danger

My heart is a stranger to - you

 

It's a cookie cutter world

When you look at me that way

You always look at me that way

I can't complain

And yet I still do

I try to get away with it, I confess

I admit nothing of the truth

 

Don't make this into your fantasy

Don't turn it into another Broadway play

 

And I fall - in deep - in love, in danger

My heart is a stranger

I fall - asleep - in love, in danger

My heart is a stranger to it

 

And I fall - in deep - in love, in danger

My heart is a stranger

I fall - asleep - in love, in danger

My heart is a stranger to - you

 

And I fall - in deep - until I can't sleep

You know that I can't sleep

I can never sleep without you


 

My Beautiful Little Girl

MY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL - Written by Carroll Bryant

Give me just a moment of your time

I hear you've been saying that I have lost my mind

Maybe you're exaggerating or maybe it's true

Just remember I had you in your youth

Now you live in another place of the world

While I sit here waiting for you my beautiful ocean pearl

Feeling so desperate and isolated for sure

You were pure

So come back to me my beautiful little girl

I play in my memories too much

It's complicated when you think you've lost touch

Maybe I'm an idiot savant

You threw away all the things I could ever want

Now you live in another place of the world

While I sit here waiting for you my beautiful ocean pearl

Feeling so desperate and isolated for sure

You were pure

So come back to me my beautiful little girl

Give me just another taste of your love

Something more substantial than a hug

Dreaming in the middle of the longest night

That everything is Teddy Bear, and it will be alright

Now you live in another place of the world

While I sit here waiting for you my beautiful ocean pearl

Feeling so desperate and isolated for sure

You were pure

So come back to me my beautiful little girl

Now you live in another place of the world

While I sit here waiting for you my beautiful ocean pearl

Feeling so desperate and isolated for sure

You were pure

So come back to me my beautiful little girl

Come back home to me my beautiful little girl

My beautiful little girl

My beautiful ocean pearl

Are You Happy Now?

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

 

Nobody cares for you more than I do

Girl, you mean everything to me

But you question my heart, my love, like I'm a fool

You can be really mean

 

What am I to make when you look at me that way?

You're breaking my heart with the things that you say

 

Are you happy now?

Are you winning the war with the games that you play?

Are you happy now?

Throwing me up or down or away?

Are you happy now?

How many times are you gonna leave me?

 

Nobody loves you like I really want to

Girl, you're my Disney dream inside a fantasy

But you smother my thoughts, my hopes, like a tool

You can really be so very obscene

 

Where am I to run when you point at me your gun?

I try to enjoy myself but you ain't no fun

 

Are you happy now?

Are you winning the war with the games that you play?

Are you happy now?

Throwing me up or down or away?

Are you happy now?

How many times are you gonna leave me?

 

Are you happy now?

Are you winning the war with the games that you play?

Are you happy now?

Throwing me up or down or away?

Are you happy now?

How many times are you gonna leave me?

 

I want to keep you here forever

Hold you so close

Never let you wither away

Never let you go

 

Never let you see me cry

 

Nobody cares for you more than I do

Girl, you mean everything to me

But you question my heart, my love, like I'm a fool

You can be really mean

 

What am I to make when you look at me that way?

You're breaking my heart with the things that you say

 

Are you happy now?

Are you winning the war with the games that you play?

Are you happy now?

Throwing me up or down or away?

Are you happy now?

How many times are you gonna leave me?

 

Are you happy now?

Are you winning the war with the games that you play?

Are you happy now?

Throwing me up or down or away?

Are you happy now?

How many times are you gonna leave me?

 

 

 



 

Don't Let Me Fall In Love

DON'T LET ME FALL IN LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

 

Hitting that bottle

Numbing the pain

Drowning my feelings once again

 

Running on empty

Living in style

Looking forever for a real wild child

 

I wanna get that good stuff, but I don't wanna fall in love tonight

I wanna get a little rough

But baby

Don't let me fall in love

 

Throwing down my aces

Showing my hand

Got to claim my winnings once again

 

Revving my engine

Giving all I got

Baby get ready because I can't stop

 

I wanna get that good stuff, but I don't wanna fall in love tonight

I wanna get a little rough

But baby

Don't let me fall in love

 

Let me read your history

Let me feel that touch

Let me have it all but don't let me fall in love

Let have a good time

Let me have a bunch

Let me get really crazy but don't let me fall in love

 

Hitting that bottle

Numbing the pain

Drowning my feelings once again

 

Running on empty

Living in style

Looking forever for a real wild child

 

I wanna get that good stuff, but I don't wanna fall in love tonight

I wanna get a little rough

But baby

Don't let me fall in love

 

I wanna get that good stuff, but I don't wanna fall in love tonight

I wanna get a little rough

But baby

Don't let me fall in love

 

 

 

I'm Gonna Love Him (Right Out Of Your Mind)

I'M GONNA LOVE HIM (RIGHT OUT OF YOUR MIND) 

- Written by Carroll Bryant 

I feel the pressure every time you hold my hand

You feed the fire 

While I got to live up to the other man 

I just can't keep pretending that it doesn't bother me 

(Such misery)

And now it feels like we're running out of time

So, tonight, I'm gonna love him

(Gonna love you)

I'm gonna love him right out of your mind

Get ready for a fight

Because baby, I'm gonna prove to you that our love is a sign

And I'm gonna love him

(Gonna love you)

I'm gonna love him right out of your mind

I get a notion Every time I dance inside of you

(It's true)

You drink the potion 

While I always feel like I'm losing you

(You know I'm losing you)

I just can't keep pretending that it doesn't bother me 

(Such misery)

And it still feels like we're running out of time

So, tonight, I'm gonna love him

(Gonna love you)

I'm gonna love him right out of your mind

Get ready for a fight

Because baby, I'm gonna prove to you that our love is a sign

And I'm gonna love him

(Gonna love you)

I'm gonna love him right out of your mind

You're like a gypsy 

(A gypsy queen)

I'm like the night

You say sometimes you miss me

Well, I'm not satisfied

You're still the gypsy

(Can you feel me?)

Now I am the day

And I don't like this feeling

I don't like to feel this way

I feel the pressure every time you hold my hand

You feed the fire 

While I got to live up to the other man 

I just can't keep pretending that it doesn't bother me 

(Such misery)

And now it feels like we're running out of time

So, tonight, I'm gonna love him

(Gonna love you)

I'm gonna love him right out of your mind

Get ready for a fight

Because baby, I'm gonna prove to you that our love is a sign

And I'm gonna love him

(Gonna love you)

I'm gonna love him right out of your mind

Un-Invisible Me

UN-INVISIBLE ME - Written by Carroll Bryant

An invisible feeling travels through my heart

My lungs, my body

A hapless emotion tears me apart

And everything is what it seems to be

 

 

You tell me you don't love him

What the hell does that have to do with anything that is me?

You tell me you don't need him

Anymore

What in the hell do you mean?

 

 

You're a centipede

A wannabe bitch to me

You're a mystery that I don't need

You're a wannabe

You're a bitch to me

 

 

And now I'm free

 

 

I'm taking pills for relief from everything you do to me

I'm drinking drinks in dire need

Of a second healing

You bring to me nothing but misery

 

 

You tell me you don't love him

What the hell does that have to do with anything that is me?

You tell me you don't need him

Anymore

What in the hell do you mean?

 

 

You're a centipede

A wannabe bitch to me

You're a mystery that I don't need

You're a wannabe

You're a bitch to me

 

 

And now I'm free

 

 

I'm losing faith and I can't believe

I keep you so close to me

I'm losing sleep

I'm losing me

And I can't seem to believe in anything

 

 

An invisible feeling travels through my heart

My lungs, my body

A hapless emotion tears me apart

And everything is what it seems to be

 

 

I'm taking pills for relief from everything you do to me

I'm drinking drinks in dire need

Of a second healing

You bring to me nothing but misery

 

 

You tell me you don't love him

What the hell does that have to do with anything that is me?

You tell me you don't need him

Anymore

What in the hell do you mean?

 

 

You're a centipede

A wannabe bitch to me

You're a mystery that I don't need

You're a wannabe

You're a bitch to me

 

 

And now I'm free

 

 

And everything is anything you want it to be

Un-invisible me

 

 

For A While

FOR A WHILE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I couldn't get enough 

When you and I were together 

Two fools living the dream

Stone faced in love

We thought we would last forever 

You were the cookie to my cream

Then came the dog days of summer

Oh, what a bummer

Too many temptations 

Too many chances and the nights were gone

We became slaves to our desires

We burned in the fires 

We threw everything away 

This is the way that I remember 

Me loving you

You loving the world

This is the time that feels so tender 

This is the truth

You were my girl for a while

We became slaves to our ambitions

Our secret submissions 

Leaving us dead on the floor 

This is the way that I remember 

Me loving you

You loving the world

This is the time that feels so tender 

This is the truth

You were my girl for a while

Just tell me so and you know I'll go away

I will go away

I love you all over again 

Just tell me so and you know I will never go away

I'll never go away

I love you and then we can be friends again 

We became slaves to our desires

We burned in the fires 

We threw everything away 

This is the way that I remember 

Me loving you

You loving the world

This is the time that feels so tender 

This is the truth

You were my girl for a while

This is the way I surrendered

Me loving you

You loving the world

This is the time that will render

The fate of the truth

You were my girl for a while 

Better Off Together

BETTER OFF TOGETHER - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

 

We live in a world today when everyone has an opinion

(And shares it carelessly)

Every subject offers a tidal wave of deep emotions

(No need to worry Mr. Clean)

 

Telling us what to do

Don't fall in love with sin

That isn't what I said

Here they go again

 

This may last only for a moment

Maybe it will last forever

All I know is we can't stand to be apart

We're better off together

 

Take my hand and hold on for the moment

Never say never

All I know is you can have my heart

We're better off together

 

We run around all over the place looking for an answer

(All the while the clock counts down)

Every day passes like a hurricane in sunny weather

(Nothing lost can ever be found)

 

Telling us to give it up

Don't think you can't let go

That isn't what I meant

They don't even know

 

This may last only for a moment

Maybe it will last forever

All I know is we can't stand to be apart

We're better off together

 

Take my hand and hold on for the moment

Never say never

All I know is you can have my heart

We're better off together

 

Feeling like I felt before

Still feeling like a fool

Invite you over for some dinner

I'm twenty-two years old feeling ninety

 

We live in a world today when everyone has an opinion

Every subject offers a tidal wave of deep emotions

 

We run around all over the place looking for an answer

Every day passes like a hurricane in sunny weather

 

Telling us what to do

Don't think you can't let go

That isn't what I said

They will never know

 

This may last only for a moment

Maybe it will last forever

All I know is we can't stand to be apart

We're better off together

 

Take my hand and hold on for the moment

Never say never

All I know is you can have my heart

We're better off together

 

 

 

In Between

IN BETWEEN - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

She swore me to secrecy

When I believed she was the best thing

To ever happen to me

 

She broke me down so easily

To the point

Where I could hardly breathe

 

The day is king

The night is queen

And in between

Nothing but lonely eyes

 

The day I've seen

The night I've dreamed

And in between

Nothing but this lonely guy

 

She took me down the street

I was dragging my feet

When I was thinking of the beach

 

She stole my song so wickedly

Just to make so much fun of me

Everything was peach

 

The day is king

The night is queen

And in between

Nothing but lonely eyes

 

The day I've seen

The night I've dreamed

And in between

Nothing but this lonely guy

 

Life can be so inconspicuous

If you drink from the fountain of youth

 

It can drive you mad and delirious

Turning lies into truth
 

She swore me to secrecy

When I believed she was the best thing

To ever happen to me

 

She broke me down so easily

To the point

Where I could hardly breathe

 

Man, I can hardly breathe

 

The day is king

The night is queen

And in between

Nothing but lonely eyes

 

The day I've seen

The night I've dreamed

And in between

Nothing but this lonely guy

 

 

 

Love Or Stone

LOVE OR STONE - Written by Carroll Bryant

What would happen if I died

Would you cry for me

If in my thoughts that I was still alive

Would you believe in me or would you just leave

Me alone

When you're long gone because I'm not pretty anymore

And I'm done

I've grown tired of you too
 

That's the way of the world

When the rain comes down

When the snow falls

And everyone is lost in their souls

Drowning in their lusts

Everyone's a zombie now

I know

You look right through me like I'm not there

I'm not here at all

Love or stone

 

 

What would you do if I ran away

Would you bother looking for me

If in your translucent state of mind

Do I still appeal to you

Enough to find me still to be

Your well kept secret piece of nothing

Walking like the walking dead

And talking like a president elect

 

 

That's the way of the world

When the rain comes down

When the snow falls

And everyone is lost in their souls

Drowning in their lusts

Everyone's a zombie now

I know

You look right through me like I'm not there

I'm not here at all

Love or stone

 

 

I wanna be in love or turn me into stone

I wanna be loved or be left alone

I wanna be in love

 

 

Isn't this easier than trying to catch a rainbow?

Isn't this easier than searching for a leprechauns pot of gold?

Trying to catch a rainbow

Trying to catch a rainbow

 

 

Trying to catch a cold

 

 

I wanna be in love or turn me into stone

I wanna be loved or be left alone

I wanna be in love

 

 

That's the way of the world

When the rain comes down

When the snow falls

And everyone is lost in their souls

Drowning in their lusts

Everyone's a zombie now

I know

You look right through me like I'm not there

I'm not here at all

Love or stone

 

 

Love or stone

Love or stone

 

 

Love or leave me alone
