X, Y, And Z

X, Y, AND Z - Written By Carroll Bryant



My heart lingers in a state of discontent 
Watching all the suffering in the world
Over here we have people trying to make sense 
Over there people are dying from another war

When will everything be about peace and harmony? 
Why can't people stop already with all of their Goddamn hate?

Nobody said it was gonna be easy
In life you're always left to believe 
Troubles come down hot and heavy 
Bringing you to your knees
You're trying to put the pieces together 
It's another job that you don't need
Time keeps dragging on forever 
All the while you're searching for x, y, and z

Communication breaks down in heated misery
Communities fall apart from bigotry disease
Over here we have the hero's sitting in their government seats
Over there we have the victims happy in their poverty 

When will anything be about the truth and honesty? 
Why do people just pretend they care about humanity? 

Nobody said it was gonna be easy
In life you're always left to believe 
Troubles come down hot and heavy 
Bringing you to your knees
You're trying to put the pieces together 
It's another job that you don't need
Time keeps dragging on forever 
All the while you're searching for x, y, and z

Reporters never ask the hard questions 
Politicians always seem to have the easy answers
Everybody has a ton of suggestions 
Adding to the problems obvious cancer

My heart lingers in a state of discontent 
Watching all the suffering in the world
Over here we have people trying to make sense 
Over there people are dying from another war

Nobody said it was gonna be easy
In life you're always left to believe 
Troubles come down hot and heavy 
Bringing you to your knees
You're trying to put the pieces together 
It's another job that you don't need
Time keeps dragging on forever 
All the while you're searching for x, y, and z

Revolution 2016

REVOLUTION 2016 - Written by Carroll Bryant 



People of Earth I'm coming back home 
Hold your breath 
Prepare your souls 

You're looking for answers that don't exist 
Smoke and mirrors 
You're broken to the bone 

The world's a test 
Your mind's a mess
Blaming Trump when you should be blaming the president 
Your heart's a wreck 
But what the heck 
You can't take it anymore 

Stupid amid confusion 
Welcome to the fake revolution
Buried in their thought pollution 
Welcome to the fake revolution 

Paid to misbehave 

People of Earth I'm standing right here 
You don't care 
You like it over there

You're crying the tears that drown your sorrows
By night and day 
There's no tomorrow

There's no success 
No wound to dress
No one's happy until somebody ends up dead 
Your time's a riot 
And you can't buy it 
You're hiding deep inside of your head

Stupid amid confusion 
Welcome to the fake revolution
Buried in their thought pollution 
Welcome to the fake revolution 

Paid to dig your grave

The world's a test 
Your mind's a mess
Blaming Trump when you should be blaming the president 
Your heart's a wreck 
But what the heck 
You can't take it anymore 

Stupid amid confusion 
Welcome to the fake revolution
Buried in their thought pollution 
Welcome to the fake revolution 

Paid to misbehave

Stupid amid confusion 
Welcome to the fake revolution
Buried in their thought pollution 
Welcome to the fake revolution 

Paid to preach their ways

Paid to misbehave

Paid to be a democratic slave

I'm Dynamite

I'M DYNAMITE - Written by Carroll Bryant 



It's three A.M. 
Baby, let me in 
Been thinking of you all day

Oh, come on and hold me tight 
Yes girl, I'm dynamite 

So, I'm just a little bit drunk
And you are all the love I want 
So come on girl and open the door
We can do it on the living room floor
The back door

Oh, here it comes again 
That feeling 
Let me in 

Oh, it's so cold outside 
Yes girl, I'm dynamite 

So, I'm just a little bit goofy
Sweet wine, and I love my Lucy 
So come on girl and open the door
I'll give it to you good
The what for
We can do it on the living room floor 
The back door

It's three A.M. 
Baby, let me in 
Been thinking of you all day

Oh, come on and hold me tight 
Yes girl, I'm dynamite

I'm dynamite

It's three A.M. 
I could be your best friend 
It's all right 
I'm dynamite

Yes girl, I'm dynamite 

I'll give it to you good
The what for
You want more? 
Then open the damn door

Shame Away

SHAME AWAY - Written by Carroll Bryant 



There's something caught in the back of my throat 
Words I can't seem to swallow 

There's something happening over my head
Thoughts that seem to be too hollow 

Take my shame away by midnight 
Lay the blame all on me if you like 
I got a name that keeps me going strong 
And you stand there with so much need
And broken 

You claim the covers when we're sleeping 
We're not lovers anymore when we weep

I kick myself out of bed when you kick me 
We become whores to our society 

Take my shame away by midnight 
Lay the blame all on me if you like 
I got a name that keeps me going strong 
And you stand there with so much need
And broken 

My dream is your nightmare 
That's what you say 
Every night is a million different faces
Memories you didn't want to see with your own eyes
I warned you about my history 

There's something caught in the back of my throat 
Words I can't seem to swallow 

There's something happening over my head
Thoughts that seem to be too hollow 

Take my shame away by midnight 
Lay the blame all on me if you like 
I got a name that keeps me going strong 
And you stand there with so much need
And broken 

We are so broken
Love is slipping away 
Two people broken
Every night the same thing
The same pain

Loneliness eats them both alive

My Salvation (Hopeless)

MY SALVATION (HOPELESS) - Written by Carroll Bryant


You can't see what's on the inside 
I protect myself by being shy 

You can't feel the angry anxiety 
I take my pills and lay down to cry 

I'm flying away
So far away
Lead me not into temptation 
This is my salvation 

Talk is cheap when there's no philosophy 
Just stupid kids playing ring around the rosy 

You roll your eyes and I begged you to treat me sweet
I can't believe that I even begged you 

I'm flying away
So far away
Lead me not into temptation 
This is my salvation 

I know I'm nothing to you
I'm just a throw-away
Neurotic to the point that I drive you crazy
I got no money to offer your insecurities 
Nothing here for you to respect 

You can't see what's on the inside 
I protect myself by being shy 

You can't feel the angry anxiety 
I take my pills and lay down to die

I'm flying away
So far away
Lead me not into temptation 

I'm flying away
So far away
Lead me not into temptation 
This is my salvation

Exit Wounds

EXIT WOUNDS - Written by Carroll Bryant 



Life is implacable and fatuous, too
Danger has a gun and is pointing it at you 
Don't be so diffident when it's your turn to die 
There is no time to stop and wonder why

Everything scatters all over the place 
Nobody matters when the bullet hits the face 
Everything important doesn't matter anymore
Just watching the blood pour 
Spilling on the floor 

Living in the fastest lane and running to survive
Dodging the darkest shadows in the darkest of nights 
Don't be so hesitant when reaching for your gun 
The party's only started so I hope you're having fun

Everything scatters all over the place 
Nobody matters when the bullet hits the face 
Everything important doesn't matter anymore
Just watching the blood pour 
Spilling on the floor

This whole thing is making me sick
When you're down, everything spins around 
This whole thing has to be a trick
Clearly, I am homeward bound 

This city is so dirty 

Life is implacable and fatuous, too
Danger has a gun and is pointing it at you 
Don't be so diffident when it's your turn to die 
There is no time to stop and wonder why

Everything scatters all over the place 
Nobody matters when the bullet hits the face 
Everything important doesn't matter anymore
Just watching the blood pour 
Spilling on the floor 

Just watching the blood pour

You Talk Too Much

YOU TALK TOO MUCH - Written by Carroll Bryant 


You're deadly glamorous with a nefarious smile
You get around girl, all of the while
Your attitude reflects your ineptitude 
You remind me of this girl that I once knew 

You live in circles that long for the lunch 
Where the chitter-chatter is way out of touch

You talk too much 
Secrets get exposed
Relationships become toast 
You talk too much
Girl, you can't control the words that you say
You know it's wrong, but you say them anyway
You won't shut up
You talk too much 

You're silly indolent and off you went 
You find a way to get your money spent 
Your desperate cries reveal your alibis 
You remind me of this time love said goodbye 

You live where reason doesn't even have a clue 
You're always walking around with one missing shoe 

You talk too much 
Secrets get exposed
Relationships become toast 
You talk too much
Girl, you can't control the words that you say
You know it's wrong, but you say them anyway
You won't shut up
You talk too much

How is that you can keep a friend? 
One day your perfect world has to come to an end
You're always so sorry when something gets out 
Always acting like you don't know what anything is ever about 

Where is it coming from?

You live where decency doesn't exist 
You're always sinking ships with those loose lips  

You talk too much 
Secrets get exposed
Relationships become toast 
You talk too much
Girl, you can't control the words that you say
You know it's wrong, but you say them anyway
You won't shut up
You talk too much
You talk too much 
Even in your sleep those secrets you can't keep
You won't shut up
You talk too much 
You talk too much
You talk too much

Simplicity

SIMPLICITY - Written by Carroll Bryant 


There is a universe of time waiting
For me
This is my world of simplicity 

You can't make up my mind 
For me
You can't take away my simplicity 

Everything!
I break it all down!
Everything you see is .....
Everyday! 
I break it all down!
Everyday I break it all down
To be

Simplicity

Sometimes you have to fight for territory 
Everyone gets challenged eventually 
You can choose to close your eyes if you like 
But that won't save you from the beast 

When everything is alive
Nobody dies
That's why I live my life 
In simplicity 

When everybody cries 
I know I'll survive
That's why I live my life
In simplicity 

There is a universe of light shining 
On me
This is my world, my galaxy 

You can't make up my mind
For me
You can't break away from my simplicity 

When everything is alive
Nobody dies
That's why I live my life 
In simplicity 

When everybody cries 
I know I'll survive
That's why I live my life
In simplicity

Everything!
I break it all down!
Everything you see is .....
Everyday! 
I break it all down!
Everyday I break it all down
To be

Simplicity 

This is my life

Simplicity

A Sexual Paradise

A SEXUAL PARADISE - Written by Carroll Bryant 


Here we stand
Somewhere on the precipice 
Hand to hand
You and I living so deep in the love

They can see it in our eyes
The joy shows on our faces 
A virtual sexual paradise 
Taking us to so many places 

Here we are
Riding high upon our wave
We find our star 
Smiles and all the love we make 

They can find it in our life 
The laughter sings it well 
A virtual sexual paradise  
A story we can tell 

And it's the life all around us 
And all can see
What we have and what it really means 
Together to be 
Always you and me
And the world is our oyster
Let us believe
And it's the love all around us 
The air that we breathe 
What we want and everything we need
Forever the sea
Always you and me
And today is our tomorrow 
Let us believe it 

Let the wind blow it all away 
We can always rebuild 
It's our natural skill 

Let the wind blow our minds
It's only time that gets left behind 
The world will always be our sexual paradise 

I can see it in your eyes 

And it's the life all around us 
And all can see
What we have and what it really means 
Together to be 
Always you and me
And the world is our oyster
Let us believe
And it's the love all around us 
The air that we breathe 
What we want and everything we need
Forever the sea
Always you and me
And today is our tomorrow 
Let us believe it

Just let us believe 

I can see it in your eyes
A virtual sexual paradise

By The River

BY THE RIVER - Written by Carroll Bryant



I'm gonna lay
Gonna lay me down by the river
Raise my hands and then shed my skin
It's okay
To be good enough for decent 
I forgive myself for all my sins 

It so happens that life gets so little 
Before it gets too big
When you're young 
You only live to reach the middle 
Because you never think you will ever make it to the end 

That's the sickness
Being invincible 
Being all you can

I'm gonna lay
Gonna lay me down by the river
Raise my hands and then shed my skin
It's okay
To be good enough for decent 
I forgive myself for all my sins

Life's lemonade is made with imperfect lemons 
Bitter to the taste so swallow what you can
Mysteries and magic
You hold it in your hands
Best to be gentle and a gentleman 

We're only human
Woman to woman 
And man unto man 

I'm gonna lay
Gonna lay me down by the river
Raise my hands and then shed my skin
It's okay
To be good enough for decent 
I forgive myself for all my sins 

A team of wild horses couldn't pull me away 
Drag me away from the likes of you
So, listen closely
I will be your hero and I will be your fool 

That's the sickness
Being invincible 
Being all that you can 

We're only human
Woman to woman
And man unto man 

I'm gonna lay
Gonna lay me down by the river
Raise my hands and then shed my skin
It's okay
To be good enough for decent 
I forgive myself for all my sins

Kim Kimmy

KIM KIMMY - Written by Carroll Bryant 


Kim Kimmy
I was feeling a little bit down
Kim Kimmy
Sorting through memories until I had found
All the good times I spent with you
In the hot nights of summer
Your husband never knew 

Kim Kimmy
You stood about five feet seven
Kim Kimmy
Your perfect little body was my piece of heaven
For the sake of letting me in 
We escaped to our little island of sin 
Nobody even tried to figure it out 

And the earth moved
The sky fell apart
Two children of fate making out in the dark
And the music played on the radio station and then
Two people trying to solve mysteries - again

Kim Kimmy
I was only trying to look back
Kim Kimmy
My heart went off into another attack
Of all of the days that I need a kiss
Why does it always happen in a moment like this?
A family reunion of every emotion inside

And the earth moved
The sky fell apart
Two children of fate making out in the dark
And the music played on the radio station and then
Two people trying to solve mysteries - again 

We were baptized by the night 
Lurking undercover out in plain sight 
Never again, you said, to fall in love 

Kim Kimmy
I was feeling a little bit down
Kim Kimmy
Sorting through the memories until I had found you

And the earth moved
The sky fell apart
Two children of fate making out in the dark
And the music played on the radio station and then

And the earth moved
The sky fell apart
Two children of fate making out in the dark
And the music played on the radio station and then
Two people trying to solve mysteries - again 

Two people passing themselves off in the daylight as friends

Kim Kimmy
Kim Kimmy
Kim Kimmy
I'm doing it all over again

She's Too Sexy For Me

SHE'S TOO SEXY FOR ME - Written by Carroll Bryant 


She's too sexy for me 
She's so hot she can never cool down
Lord have mercy, baby
She'd tap her own ass if she thought she could get away with it

Never ask her twice
If she doesn't answer 
It means she wasn't listening 

She's always acting naughty and nice 
If you catch her in the right mood 
She'll give you something good to groove

She's way past anything you could smell
The very thing you'd love to play with
Her body rocks so wild as hell 
Whatever she gives to you, consider it a special gift 

She's too sexy for me 
She's so hot she can never cool down
Lord have mercy, baby
She'd tap her own ass if she thought she could get away with it

Never turn away
If she thinks you disrespected her
She'll eat you up like cake

She's always talking fashion about your face 
If you drop her like a time-bomb
She'll sing you to death with a Taylor Swift song 

She's way too fast for you to even touch
The very thing you would go to jail for
Her fatal charms will knock your socks off
Whatever she tries to sell you, buy it out, the whole damn store

She's too sexy for me 
She's so hot she can never cool down
Lord have mercy, baby
She'd tap her own ass if she thought she could get away with it

She's way past anything you could smell
The very thing you'd love to play with
Her body rocks so hard as hell
Whatever she gives to you, consider it a birthday gift

She's too sexy for me
She's too sexy for you
She has to be a lesbian 
Imagine what she likes to do
Locked inside her sexy bedroom

OMFG!

She's too sexy for me 
She's so hot she can never cool down
Lord have mercy, baby
She'd tap her own ass if she thought she could get away with it

You can fool yourself into whatever you want to believe 
But she's too sexy for me

My Strawberry Girlfriend

MY STRAWBERRY GIRLFRIEND - Written by Carroll Bryant



You never did worry about getting in a hurry 
Before
Has love become forgetful?

You never did question when you're handing out suggestions 
Galore
Has love become regretful? 

I'm hanging on tight with all I have inside
While you're letting go 
And you can't let it go fast enough 

Is this the end?
Two become lovers 
Now there's nothing but shenanigans 
I can't pretend
It hurts forever
As I'm losing my strawberry girlfriend

You never did like the taste of what you bite
Or more
Has love left you hanging high?

You never did spit when you swallowed the shit like you did
You whore
Has love left you banging guys?

I'm holding on hard to a broken part of me
While you're slapping everybody all around
Slapping all around the town 

Is this the end?
Two become lovers 
Now there's nothing but shenanigans 
I can't pretend
It hurts forever
As I'm losing my strawberry girlfriend

Is this the end?
Two become lovers 
Now there's nothing but shenanigans 
I can't pretend
It hurts forever
As I'm losing my strawberry girlfriend

Now I think I know why I like to kiss
Your strawberry lips
Now I think I realize why I insist 
On giving in to compromise 

You're hiding out behind those eyes

I'm hanging on tight with all I have inside
While you're letting go 
And you can't let it go fast enough 

I'm holding on hard to a broken part of me
While you're slapping everybody all around
Slapping all around the town 

Is this the end?
Two become lovers 
Now there's nothing but shenanigans 
I can't pretend
It hurts forever
As I'm losing my strawberry girlfriend

Is this the end?
Two become lovers 
Now there's nothing but shenanigans 
I can't pretend
It hurts forever
As I'm losing my strawberry girlfriend

I'm buried alive in sin 
In love with my strawberry girlfriend

I Wrote It Down

I WROTE IT DOWN - Written by Carroll Bryant 



You took me by the hand
You led me into your room
You turned this boy into a man 
Many years way too soon

I walked the road of my life
I married not a single wife
No child of blood to call my own
I am alone
I'm all alone

Funny how it started in that room
Funny how I roamed my days underneath the moon
Funny how I got caught up in my ways
Funny how I came to be from all the words I couldn't say 
I wrote them down
I wrote my feelings down
I got it all out of my system 

You come to me in dreams
You haunt me when I sleep 
You gave me relief and baby, that wasn't cheap
You took my virginity 

Funny how it started in that room
Funny how I roamed my days underneath the moon
Funny how I got caught up in my ways
Funny how I came to be from all the words I couldn't say 
I wrote them down
I wrote my feelings down
I got it all out of my system 

I wrote them down
I wrote my feelings down
I got it all out of my system 

I walked the road of my life
I married not a single wife
No child of blood to call my own
I am alone
I'm all alone

Funny how it started in that room
Funny how I roamed my days underneath the moon
Funny how I got caught up in my ways
Funny how I came to be from all the words I couldn't say 
I wrote them down
I wrote my feelings down
I got it all out of my system 

I wrote them down
I wrote my feelings down
I got it all out of my system 

I wrote it down
I wrote my feelings down

I wrote it down

Vegas And Vega

VEGAS AND VEGA - Written by Carroll Bryant



There's so much trouble and so much hate
People living on the brink and they can't escape
Children hiding in fear where dignity is shamed 
Cracking under pressure and feeling the hard pain 

Killers on the streets running fast to their regrets 
Fighters in the shadows and bullies on the internet 
The terrorists haven't even begun yet
Everyone waits their turn so who is gonna get it next?

Somewhere in between Vegas and Vega 
An angel is being pulled into another black hole 
No one can hear the bitch screaming 
Because everything on planet earth is spinning out of control

There's so many of them living in their fantasy 
I'm living the dream in my reality
When everything turns left and you know they go green
They come after me with that goddamn envy

You know what I mean? 

Somewhere in between Vegas and Vega 
An angel is being pulled into another black hole 
No one can hear the bitch screaming 
Because everything on planet earth is spinning out of control

I can't hide from all of this shit 
Even though it's the hardest thing I try to do 
My reputation takes another fucking hit 
So many accusations with zero convictions 
You know the lies can never be true

There's so much trouble and so much hate
People living on the brink and they can't escape
No, they can't escape
I can't relate

They're making a break for it 

Somewhere in between Vegas and Vega 
An angel is being pulled into another black hole 
No one can hear the bitch screaming 
Because everything on planet earth is spinning out of control

Somewhere in between Vegas and Vega 
Another angel is being paid for being a ho 
No one can hear the bitch screaming 
Because everyone on planet earth is selling their soul

Because everything on planet earth is spinning out of control
Selling their soul
Selling a ho

Because quite frankly I've no other place to go

Take Me Down (You Can't)

TAKE ME DOWN (YOU CAN'T) - Written by Carroll Bryant


You're learning how to be somebody
Growing into your own
You're probably better off just falling
In love and all alone 

It's always gonna be eccentric 
When passion gets hotter than hell
Time has a way to help you forget it
But I can see in your eyes that you remember it well

Take me down
Isn't that your one objective?
Shake me around
Like the rag-doll bitch you think I am
(You can't) Take me down
Power can be so subjective
Take me down
Even if you really think you can
You can't

I'm starting to believe the whispers
This is gonna end the worst possible way
Stand up, your ground, or stand and deliver
No soup for you today

It's always gonna be electric 
When two powder kegs meet head to head
Face to face and we both regret it 
Preying on each other and praying for death

Take me down
Isn't that your one objective?
Shake me around
Like the rag-doll bitch you think I am
(You can't) Take me down
Power can be so subjective
Take me down
Even if you really think you can
You can't

I lay awake at night waiting for your skin
Together, wrong or right
Making the baby we so aptly name, Sin

I fall asleep sometimes waiting for you to put it in
The dagger

It's always gonna be eccentric 
When passion gets hotter than hell
Time has a way to help you forget it
But I can see in your eyes that you remember it well

You're growing into your own

Take me down
Isn't that your one objective?
Shake me around
Like the rag-doll bitch you think I am
(You can't) Take me down
Power can be so subjective
Take me down
Even if you really think you can
You can't

You can't take me down, you can't
