You Don't Have To Be A Bitch

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A BITCH - Written by Carroll Bryant

You don't have to be a bitch to spin a web of lies

Even pretty angels have deception in their eyes

You thought that you were dreaming, but now you realize

Even pretty angels can knock you down to size

Turn around, turn around

Run as fast as you can

Just don't stand there helpless with 

A broken heart in your hand

Turn around, turn around

Run far across the land

No one ever notices you if you're a lonely man

No one even notices you if you're a lonely man

You don't have to be a bitch to take away a soul

Even pretty angels have sinister type goals

You can't keep hunting treasures on dark and mystic roads

Even pretty angels can become most evil trolls

Turn around, turn around

Run as fast as you can

Just don't stand there helpless with 

A broken heart in your hand

Turn around, turn around

Run far across the land

No one ever notices you if you're a lonely man

No one even notices you if you're a lonely man

You don't have to be a bitch to take another life

Even pretty angels like to sometimes hide a knife

Their magic is a mystery when love runs out of time

Even pretty angels like to dance away the night

Turn around, turn around

Run as fast as you can

Just don't stand there helpless with 

A broken heart in your hand

Turn around, turn around

Run far across the land

No one ever notices you if you're a lonely man

No one even notices you if you're a lonely man

You don't have to be a bitch and yet, you still are

Just Another Damn Girl

JUST ANOTHER DAMN GIRL - Written by Carroll Bryant

Every word you say becomes an adjective 

Maybe we're alive, but did we ever really live?

Then I meet you

Who met who?

This is another day we'd like to forget

Then you saw me

It was that easy 

A place that we had to be

Two American victims

Two American suspects

You're just another damn girl

You're out to capture the whole damn world

And break my heart to pieces 

Start another world war 

Just another damn girl

Shaking me down for another fight

Keeping me up the whole damn night

You want to own my life and I know this for sure

You're just another damn girl 

I would never listen to kiss your mouth

There are moments I lie to you to get my feelings out

I come unglued

Always so fooled

This is a one way trip that I don't want to take

Then love is free

We broke the whole damn thing 

A mystery that was destiny 

Two American sleepers

Two American dreams

You're just another damn girl

You're out to capture the whole damn world

And break my heart to pieces 

Start another world war 

Just another damn girl

Shaking me down for another fight

Keeping me up the whole damn night

You want to own my life and I know this for sure

You're just another damn girl 

Then I meet you

Who met who?

This is another day we'd like to forget

Then you saw me

It was that easy 

A place that we had to be

Two American children

Two American dreams

You're just another damn girl

You're out to capture the whole damn world

And break my heart to pieces 

Start another world war 

Just another damn girl

Shaking me down for another fight

Keeping me up the whole damn night

You want to own my life and I know this for sure

You're just another damn girl 

People Of The Sky

PEOPLE OF THE SKY - Written by Carroll Bryant

Life lives on the precipice 

An uneventful big surprise

You're looking up to watch the angels

People of the sky

Your imagination takes you away

On an amazing peaceful ride

You're looking into their evolution 

People of the sky

When mulling your decisions 

You look to redefine

The meaning of your existence 

Leave the world behind 

It happens in an instant 

It happens all the time 

The purpose that you're serving 

Your master in disguise 

Life is lived in vivid moments 

A reason for you to decide 

If you can handle terminal pressure 

People of the sky

Captured by their answers

Your questions all subside 

You can't look upon their faces

People of the sky 

When mulling your decisions 

You look to redefine

The meaning of your existence 

Leave the world behind 

It happens in an instant 

It happens all the time 

The purpose that you're serving 

Your master in disguise 

Life lives in the balance 

How soon to realize?

There's no easy escape from this

People of the sky

You seek to learn their knowledge

The truth is always wise 

Run right into the magic walker 

People of the sky 

Making friends with everyone 

People of the sky

Mitchell Hedges knew them well

People of the sky

The Mayan tribes all disappeared 

People of the sky 

No Family

NO FAMILY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Ever since I was born

I've been so deeply, deeply torn

Between the two sides

Love and hate inside of me

Each to battle for that victory 

And I, living with blind eyes

I could hear the soul inside of me

Scream

Yearning for love that only comes

From a family

All the years of growing up 

Falling for their jokes and stuff

Just wishing they wouldn't leave 

Touch and go and it got messed up

Did they really get enough

They got enough of me 

I could feel the heart inside of me 

Scream

Yearning for the table scraps

From my family

No trust 

(It got lost)

No respect 

(That's the cost)

Just a lonely love 

Nothing there 

No family

Not much 

Not a chance

Just a lonely love

Nothing here

No family

I keep on reaching out 

In the dead of the night

In the middle of a bad dream

I see a darkness all around me 

I feel the darkness inside of me 

No family

Ever since I became a man 

I fight so hard to understand

Why they left me 

Laughing lies and smiles with tears

Painting over all of my childhood fears

Then they regret me 

I could hear the soul inside of me

Scream

Yearning for love that only comes

From a family

 

No trust 

(It got lost)

No respect 

(That's the cost)

Just a lonely love 

Nothing there 

No family

Not much 

Not a chance

Just a lonely love

Nothing here

No family

I could feel the heart inside of me 

Scream

Yearning for the table scraps

From my family

Enough Is Enough

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH - Written By Carroll Bryant 

You walk away

That's your thing

If you stayed you would be broken 

You got to be free

That's what you keep telling me 

Don't know what you need

Cut from a different breed 

Enough is enough 

Is this a friendship or is this love?

Enough is enough 

I'm all out of time this time and all of that fancy stuff

Enough is enough 

You roll your eyes 

That's no surprise

Everything that I know about you is perfectly fine 

You're a hard one to please

That's what everyone keeps telling me 

Don't know what it is that you dream

Cut so deep and still you can't bleed

Enough is enough 

Is this a friendship or is this love?

Enough is enough 

I'm all out of time this time and all of that fancy stuff

Enough is enough

Should I even try this time to call your bluff?

Enough is enough

I'm falling into a brand new dimension 

A secret door that defies time and space

I'm seeing things that I never did before

For the first time

Feeling alone with myself in this place 

You reach for the sky

Don't know why

Everything that's good for you girl 

Is all wrapped up inside of this guy

Enough is enough 

Is this a friendship or is this love?

Enough is enough 

I'm all out of time this time and all of that fancy stuff

Enough is enough

Should I even try this time to call your bluff?

Enough is enough

This tender heart can't stand to be so tough 

Enough is enough

Isn't it about time that you thought about growing up?

Enough is enough 

Enough is enough

Enough is enough

Isn't it about time you thought about settling down 

And growing up?

Enough is enough

Hell Or High Water

HELL OR HIGH WATER - Written by Carroll Bryant

Keep talking your shit 

You stupid son of a bitch 

If it's trouble that you're looking for 

Then I think that you found it

I'm ready for the fight 

I'm ready for war

Into the night and I'll give you the what for

The brawl kicks off so get ready for the show 

Come hell or high water

Things are gonna get rough 

Come hell or high water 

There's no time to run 

Come hell or high water

You know you got to be tough 

Come hell or high water 

You got to stand up

So let's get down and dirty 

In the streets there are no rules

Spilling blood all over the pavement 

Like a couple of fools would do

Who's got the gun?

Who's got the knife?

Who lives to tell about it?

Who lost their life? 

 If you wanna get crazy, then fine, let's get nuts 

Come hell or high water

Things are gonna get rough 

Come hell or high water 

There's no time to run 

Come hell or high water

You know you got to be tough 

Come hell or high water 

You got to stand up

Man, I'm not looking for action

I'm not looking for this

But get in my face and I swear to Satan

You're gonna be eating my mother fucking fist!

Come hell or high water

Things are gonna get rough 

Come hell or high water 

There's no time to run 

Come hell or high water

You know you got to be tough 

Come hell or high water 

You got to stand up

Come hell or high water

Things are gonna get rough 

Come hell or high water 

There's no time to run 

Come hell or high water

You know you got to be tough 

Come hell or high water 

You got to stand up

For yourself

Take A Ride To The Moon

TAKE A RIDE TO THE MOON - Written by Carroll Bryant

You're a mystery 

Every time I think of you

I start to feel weak at the knees

I'm in misery 

But I know I can't let it show

How do you do all the things that you do to me?

I can feel the wind blow 

Falling in love is so hard to do

Take a ride to the moon

Running out of oxygen

I want to hold you so bad

So close

I'm your number one total fool

So let me give you a ride all the way to the moon

You're my secret wish

And anytime you look at me

I can feel your secret kiss

I'm delirious 

But I can see what they mean 

When I start to acting foolish 

I can feel the sunrise 

Falling in love is so easy to prove

Take a ride to the moon

Running out of oxygen

I want to hold you so bad

So close

I'm your number one total fool

So let me give you a ride all the way to the moon

Even on a date

I find it hard to breathe

Oh, for goodness sakes

Look what you're doing 

Look what you've done to me

Even on a date 

I find it hard to believe

Oh, for goodness sakes

Just let me go

Just take a hold of me

I can feel the wind blow 

Falling in love is so hard to do

Take a ride to the moon

Running out of oxygen

I want to hold you so bad

So close

I'm your number one total fool

So let me give you a ride all the way to the moon

12 College Road

12 COLLEGE ROAD - Written by Carroll Bryant

She was waiting for me to arrive

We made love a danger because we always fought to survive

Right beyond a vacant lot

I gave to her everything I got 

She gave me a memory that I will take to my grave

12 College Road and I remember 

Twenty days of first semester 

I didn't get a wink of sleep and you know that I didn't care

12 College Road and I surrendered 

Twenty days of my September 

All I see is you and me almost everywhere

Baby on her knees

We played it cool while flirting with disaster 

We couldn't take it slow so we got brave and pushed it faster

Right on time and always running late 

Pedal to the metal and forget the brake 

She gave to me ecstasy and I will make that bitch my slave 

12 College Road and I remember 

Twenty days of first semester 

I didn't get a wink of sleep and you know that I didn't care

12 College Road and I surrendered 

Twenty days of my September 

All I see is you and me almost everywhere

Bring me to my knees

It wasn't love that we were making

We were just trying to kill some useless time 

Our faces faded like a distant dream

Run like a rabbit, baby

Maybe we will never let it die 

She was waiting for me to arrive

We made love a danger because we always fought to survive

Right beyond a vacant lot

I gave to her everything I got 

She gave me a memory that I will take to my grave

12 College Road and I remember 

Twenty days of first semester 

I didn't get a wink of sleep and you know that I didn't care

12 College Road and I surrendered 

Twenty days of my September 

All I see is you and me almost everywhere

Baby on her knees

12 College Road and I remember

12 College Road and I surrender

Twenty days of first semester 

Twenty days of my September 

Bring me to my knees

Something That I wanted

SOMETHING THAT I WANTED - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Do you remember the night when we first met?

What we did in the bathroom at that party I will never forget 

Well, maybe it's true that we drank too much 

Fooled around and fell in love with lust 

Two people couldn't be anymore crazy 

You gave me something that I thought I really needed 

You and me are nothing but trouble together 

Somehow our hearts became haunted and flawed with love

And you gave me something that I wanted 

Do you recall waking up together alone in our beds?

Missing pieces of our memory that are lost forever in our heads

Well, maybe it's true we're not too mature 

Fooled around carelessly and fell through the floor

Two people couldn't be anymore lucky 

You gave me something that I thought I really needed 

You and me are nothing but trouble together 

Somehow our hearts became haunted and flawed with love

And you gave me something that I wanted

All of those empty arms that would hold me in the past

Couldn't keep me from falling completely apart

Now times have changed for me at last 

And love has turned the tables 

Falling under your power 

Your magic

I'm your victim 

Willing

Your spell

Well, maybe it's true that we drank too much 

Fooled around and fell in love with lust 

Two people couldn't be anymore crazy

You gave me something that I thought I really needed 

You and me are nothing but trouble together 

Somehow our hearts became haunted and flawed with love

And you gave me something that I wanted

You're something that I wanted

You're something that I needed

Falling under your power

Your magic

I'm your victim

Willing

Your spell

You're something that I wanted

 

 

Need For The Night

NEED FOR THE NIGHT - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Darkness has a way of creeping in 

This is when the need for the night begins 

The mystery moon reaches for your soul

The question is will you go

Out into the jungle of concrete

Under neon lights and getting lost out on the streets

Love

Is for the brokenhearted 

I said love is only for the lonely

Love

Is how it all started 

Lost out there

It's somewhere 

You can't find it 

Shadows write their passion against the walls

Puppets of thought that control us all

The driest heat you will ever feel 

Is bittersweet when you find your thrill

In the arms of another stranger you call desire

Trapped inside the danger of the fire

Love is for the fools 

Love

Is for the brokenhearted 

I said love is only for the lonely

Love

Is how it all started 

Lost out there

It's somewhere 

You can't find it 

The dawning of another day arrives

Nothing's changed as you fight to survive

She gets up and out of your bed

Walks out the door and out of your head

The morning sings of the same old tune 

The world wakes up on time and way too soon 

Love is still a fool

Love

Is for the brokenhearted 

I said love is only for the lonely

Love

Is how it all started 

Lost out there

It's somewhere 

You can't find it

Love is for the fools

And it keeps hiding

There's nothing you can do

You can't even buy it

Love 

Is for the brokenhearted

It's only for the lonely 

It's lost out there 

It's somewhere

You can't have it

It's for the brokenhearted
Only the brokenhearted
Those who can't afford it

You Could Never Tell The Truth

YOU COULD NEVER TELL THE TRUTH - Written by Carroll Bryant

It's a serious situation

When you're running out of ambition

You look to the sky and you still can't see

What everything around you is suppose to mean 

(You look deep inside and there's nothing

Absolutely nothing)

Everything you told me was a boldface lie

Funny how you never even said goodbye 

Well, I know the diff between a lover and a clown 

Don't need another bitch to keep me down 

The pain always comes too soon

You could never tell the truth 

It's a world filled with gloom and doom 

You could never tell the truth 

I got to find a map and escape this place 

Avoid any mirror that reflects this face 

Anything of worth will always make you a slave 

Maybe that's something to take to your grave 

The pain always comes too soon

You could never tell the truth 

It's a world filled with gloom and doom 

You could never tell the truth

The pain always comes too soon

You could never tell the truth 

It's a world filled with gloom and doom 

You could never tell the truth

You hide by yourself

You like it alone

No secrets to tell 

It's about time to find a home 

It's a serious situation

When you're running out of ambition

You look to the sky and you still can't see

What everything around you is suppose to mean 

The pain always comes too soon

You could never tell the truth 

It's a world filled with gloom and doom 

You could never tell the truth

The pain always comes too soon

You could never tell the truth 

It's a world filled with gloom and doom 

You could never tell the truth

Rigmarole

RIGMAROLE - Written by Carroll Bryant

She said no

I don't want to see you anymore

Forget about today and just go away

There is no more time 

The clock you lost I could never find 

Forget about tomorrow because that was yesterday 

I want action

I want satisfaction

We were always enemies because we could never be friends 

I want some action

I want some satisfaction 

We could have been together baby right to the very end

Rigor mortis is setting in 

She said "You!"

You are the very essence 

Forget about the angry heart that hasn't even a soul

There is no more rhyme 

Your poetry is dead to me 

And it's about time that I let you know 

I want action

I want satisfaction

We were always enemies because we could never be friends 

I want some action

I want some satisfaction 

We could have been together baby right to the very end

Rigor mortis is setting in 

She's a blusterous sort that's always in a hurry

Mindless chatter trapped inside a box marked "not to worry"

I need to be alone right now

I need an elevator to take me down

To the underground 

And dance my blues away

She said no

And I don't know what to do

She didn't even like my brand new pair of shoes

I want action

I want satisfaction

We were always enemies because we could never be friends 

I want some action

I want some satisfaction 

We could have been together baby right to the very end

Rigor mortis is setting in

Soul Naked

SOUL NAKED - Written by Carroll Bryant

There's nothing I can say this time

You hide behind magic eyes 

If you want to know the truth 

How I feel inside

Just look into mine 

There's nothing I can do tonight 

But to hold you in my arms so tight

If you want to break free 

Then listen to me

Just give into the fight 

Naked

Naked with you

Naked as a soul can be

Naked as the moon

Naked

Naked with me

Naked from a midnight rendezvous 

Naked in a dream

Soul naked

There's nothing you can prove this time

I hide behind eyes that are blind

If I want to seek your rhythm 

Lose the rhyme 

Just let me dance inside 

Naked

Naked with you

Naked as a soul can be

Naked as the moon

Naked

Naked with me

Naked from a midnight rendezvous 

Naked in a dream

Soul naked 

This thing called love has been around

Longer than a hearts forever

It can happen without a sound 

To anyone who wants to be together

There's nothing I can say this time

You hide behind magic eyes 

If you want to know the truth 

How I feel inside

Just look into mine 

Naked

Naked with you

Naked as a soul can be

Naked as the moon

Naked

Naked with me

Naked from a midnight rendezvous 

Naked in a dream

Soul naked

Naked with you

Naked as a soul can be

Naked as the moon

Naked

Naked with me 

Naked from a midnight rendezvous 

Naked in a dream

Soul naked

You and me naked

Really soul naked 

Naked in a dream

Naked with me

Naked in a dream

Cosmic Egg

COSMIC EGG - Written By Carroll Bryant

Ever since the beginning of time

The universe been blowing my mind 

Strange the lights moving across the sky

Stars in motion watching with a cosmic eye 

In the night

Plain as day written on your face

It's breakfast time inside this place

Order up and grab your plate 

Stuff yourself with the cosmic egg 

I can feel the galaxy spinning 

The whole world around me is turning 

And it's getting me dizzy 

I can see beyond the setting

The sun is burning out

Now is the time to say 

Ever since the beginning of time

The universe been blowing my mind 

Strange the lights moving across the sky

Stars in motion watching with a cosmic eye

In the night

I can feel the galaxy spinning 

The whole world around me is turning 

And it's getting me dizzy 

I can see beyond the setting

The sun is burning out

Now is the time to say

Plain as day written on your face

It's breakfast time inside this place

Order up and grab your plate 

Stuff yourself with the cosmic egg

I can feel the galaxy spinning 

The whole world around me is turning 

And it's getting me dizzy 

I can see beyond the setting

The sun is burning out

Now is the time to say it

Falling In Love With Mars

FALLING IN LOVE WITH MARS - Written by Carroll Bryant

Mars is a lady that looks at me

Looks through me like I'm not even there at all

Mars has a secret she's keeping from me

It won't let me be

She's teasing me and you know that I'm loving it

Can't turn my eyes away from her stars 

Yeah, I'm falling in love with her

Falling in love with Mars

My heart explodes

Falling in love with Mars

She's all I know

There's so much hope 

And even if she runs away she won't get too far 

I'm falling in love with Mars

Mars is a magic that you believe

That you can see with your soul

And you can't let her go

Mars is the reason that I can breathe

I just can't leave her sitting there looking so lovely 

Looking so lonely

Can't turn my eyes away from her stars 

Yeah, I'm falling in love with her

Falling in love with Mars

My heart explodes

Falling in love with Mars

She's all I know

There's so much hope 

And even if she runs away she won't get too far 

I'm falling in love with Mars

She's turning red from the embarrassment 

A space cadet without the space regret 

I'm trying hard to get a grip 

The moment ends

I let everything slip away 

Mars is a lady that looks at me

Looks through me like I'm not even there at all

Can't turn my eyes away from her stars 

Yeah, I'm falling in love with her

Falling in love with Mars

My heart explodes

Falling in love with Mars

She's all I know

There's so much hope 

And even if she runs away she won't get too far 

I'm falling in love with Mars

Can't turn my eyes away from her stars 

Because I'm falling in love with Mars
