Wistful Nightmares

WISTFUL NIGHTMARES – Written by Carroll Bryant

You were my beautiful mistake
I believed every one of your lies
Love was there for us to take
I was shaking in the light of your eyes

And I couldn’t feel my energy
It’s so real
And I couldn’t breathe
I’d steal almost everything
Your touch
And I couldn’t find my way

Every night I keep pretending
Your heart beats with me in perfect rhythm and
Every night I keep believing
Your arms are holding me
The world keeps spinning
And all my dreams look better in slow motion
And all my dreams look better in slow motion

There’s a sponge absorbing all my brains
It’s the way that you topple and fraud
And it’s driving me insane
In the fields where our romance can’t run

And I mustn’t hear your symphony
It’s so clear
And I mustn’t sing
I’d steal almost anything
Your trust
And I mustn’t hallucinate

Every night I keep pretending
Your heart beats with me in perfect rhythm and
Every night I keep believing
Your arms are holding me
The world keeps spinning
And all my dreams look better in slow motion
And all my dreams look better in slow motion

You were a magnificent mistake
I believed everyone of your tears
Love was easy for to break
I was shaking at the sight of your fears

And I couldn’t feel my energy
It’s so real
And I couldn’t breathe
I’d steal almost everything
Your touch
And I couldn’t find my way

Every night I keep pretending
Your heart beats with me in perfect rhythm and
Every night I keep believing
Your arms are holding me
The world keeps spinning
And all my dreams look better in slow motion
And all my dreams look better in slow motion

The Banshee

THE BANSHEE – Written by Carroll Bryant

Leave her alone
And she’ll leave you alone
For no good could ever come
From loving the banshee

Listen to her screams
Wailing endlessly
Silently she will be
Nothing but a banshee

She drifts in the night under the moon
This is her mood
Pain is her food

She searches the night for the taste of the nectar
This is her time
Lost soul and mind

Leave her alone
And she’ll leave you alone
For no good could ever come
From loving the banshee

Listen to her screams
Wailing endlessly
Silently she will be
Nothing but a banshee

She watches it all from the edge of a shadow
Those are her eyes
A helpless demise

She waits for nothing, nothing at all
That is her life
There’s no compromise

Leave her alone
And she’ll leave you alone
For no good could ever come
From loving the banshee

Listen to her screams
Wailing endlessly
Silently she will be
Nothing but a banshee

And forever to be nothing to see
Forever to be nothing but a banshee
