Mummified

MUMMIFIED - Written by Carroll Bryant 



In the heart of every man
There lives the soul of a woman
And in the truth of every night
She lives deep inside
Until the man is mummified

In the story of true lovers
They will define a new beginning
And in the touch of their life
They will be buried alive
Until their legend is mummified

Every song will have its bird
Every king a queen
Every sigh will just be heard
By the way that they hold, and their spirits are set free

In the heart of every man
There lives the fire of a woman
And in the front of his lonely eyes
She appears to him each night
And leaves the man so mummified

Not every wish was made to come true
Not every wind will blow
Not every thought will be pure and new
Sometimes she will stay, and sometimes she will go

Not every star was made for its shine
Not every hope so real
Not every moment lives in Divine
So much for the way a true heart can feel

In the heart of every man
There lives the soul of a woman
And in the truth of every night
She lives deep inside
Until the man is mummified

In the story of true lovers
They will define a new beginning
And in the touch of their life
They will be buried alive
Until their legend is mummified

And in a world that’s black and white
There’s a place they two can hide
Until they’re both so mummified

Like A Shadow

LIKE A SHADOW - Written by Carroll Bryant



I can see the language in your eyes
Telling me secrets
Telling me some angry lies

There’s no more reason to pretend
The messages you’re sending me
Leading me to the very end

You’re scaring me into a frenzy
Are you crazy?
Do you love me?
Or are you just using me?

I’m hiding like a shadow
Looking for your heart-glow
Trying to find my way back out of all your yesterdays
Tell me something that I don’t know
Like you’re never going to go
Never going to go away
Until then it’s here I stay
I’ll be true to what remains
Another dog and pony show
Hiding like a shadow

I can feel emotions boiling over
Burning my skin
Pushing me to the arms of another

Where can I find a new appendage?
This water rolling down my face
There’s just too many parts that’s leaking

You’re daring me into a new beginning
Is this one ending?
Do you feel me?
Or are you just abusing me?

I’m hiding like a shadow
Looking for your heart-glow
Trying to find my way back out of all your yesterdays
Tell me something that I don’t know
Like you’re never going to go
Never going to go away
Until then it’s here I stay
I’ll be true to what remains
Another dog and pony show
Hiding like a shadow

Here it is
In one small word
Like I love you
Can you say you love me too?

Here we are
In one big world
Full of  “I don’t knows”
Where did it all go?

Can you give me something true?

You’re driving me into a frenzy
Making me crazy
Do you want me?
Or are you just confusing me?

I’m hiding like a shadow
Looking for your heart-glow
Trying to find my way back out of all your yesterdays
Tell me something that I don’t know
Like you’re never going to go
Never going to go away
Until then it’s here I stay
I’ll be true to what remains
Another dog and pony show
Hiding like a shadow

Your Secrets

YOUR SECRETS - Written by Carroll Bryant 



So, you want to take a piece of me?
Your words are a fine place to start
Just smack me so hard until I can’t see
Spin my world around in its own misery
To be the dominate one
You’re the epitome Of everything
Of everything that’s wrong with me

Once upon a lonely time
You used to be on my mind
Now I’m just finding out
That you were never the one
Once upon a midnight star
I used to think I knew who you really are
But now I know you’re not the one
All the lies you told for fun
Has led me to believe
That you’re not the girl for me
Because girl, I can clearly see
You have more secrets than anyone
More secrets than the sun

And I can’t fight your secrets

No, you can’t take another bite
Of what you know you want from me
It starts with a flash of light in my eyes
The darkness is a place to hide
Living like a solitary one
You’re the cornerstone of all my dreams
Crashing down right in front of me

Once upon a lonely time
You used to be on my mind
Now I’m just finding out
That you were never the one
Once upon a midnight star
I used to think I knew who you really are
But now I know you’re not the one
All the lies you told for fun
Has led me to believe
That you’re not the girl for me
Because girl, I can clearly see
You have more secrets than anyone
More secrets than the sun

And I can’t fight your secrets
I raise my sword to battle
All of your little demons
And girl it is a struggle

I lift my head and hold it up high
To demonstrate
I’m alright tonight

I raise my sword to slay it
The dragon heart in you
And girl you know it

I lift my head to see the damage
To eliminate
All your fairytales
All your magic spells
Don’t look at me in that way
Girl, what the hell?

So, you want to take a piece of me?
Your words are a fine place to start
Just smack me so hard until I can’t see

Smack right out of my misery

Once upon a lonely time
You used to be on my mind
Now I’m just finding out
That you were never the one
Once upon a midnight star
I used to think I knew who you really are
But now I know you’re not the one
All the lies you told for fun
Has led me to believe
That you’re not the girl for me
Because girl, I can clearly see
You have more secrets than anyone
More secrets than the sun
More secrets than the sun
More secrets than anyone

And I can’t fight your secrets
