On The Road Advice

On The Road Advice
By: Tyler Ross

Dear Tyler,
How’s this living in limbo on every single wire? No fun I bet, when you have no control and no answers. Why do you let people treat you the way they do? It’s not fair to you. How many times have I told you to walk away? If it’s not fifty-fifty on a two way road then, they’ve got to go. Don’t waste time on those who won’t give back. These true colors show, but you continue to run their track. Step off! You remain hurt all the time. You know inside what’s divine. Don’t waste all this time. It’s simple when the chase is equal. Stop looking for a chance at the sequel. In the end people will be people. Forever be you and if you are important to them, they will seek you. You’ve done enough. The ball is in all their courts. Enough is enough. Be free and expect less. What’s right will be there and that’s the perfect test. Let it go or you’ll be a mess.

Sincerely,
Jess from East to West

Friends Cleanse

Friends Cleanse
By: Tyler Ross

Evaluation. Reputation. I’m sick of all this pointless frustration. I’m a bottle of pressure about to explode. A man around such children's games single-filed all in a row. I want to take this domino effect and watch it come crashing down. I’d rather swim away than tread your water and drown. It’s evident times change and I’m ready to move on. You can drop the act or join along. For this is my swan song. My journey will have more loss, but it will experience gain. There’s a whole world of you. Do I need more to explain? Times always change and I wish you wouldn’t disappear, but that’s not my choice. My mind is finally in the clear. Smiling from ear to ear.

Guarded

Guarded
By: Tyler Ross

Take a look in my eyes. Don’t like what you see. That’s fine because you can’t get to me so easily. I have very strict morals and respect for myself to not run around recklessly. I’d rather wait it out on the shelf. I’ll remain grounded and play it smart. You’ve got to earn my trust with truth from the start. No playing games and leading me on. I take no interest in those who pressure me along. I’m guarded can’t you see. A free spirit just me being me. What you get is what you’ll accept. Patience is key for the first step. I believe in a balance. I believe in an honest effort. You can take it or leave it. But I’ll leave it, just protecting myself. If you feel I owe you. You’ve got me all wrong. Intentions are important and if I can’t trust you then move along. I’ve grown up with firm values. I plan to sustain. I don’t expect you to be one in the same. Show your consideration. Be aware I’m not like everyone else. This is not a game. This is not a game. You can abuse my name. You can try breaking me down. But I am a rock and always guarded. The same Sheriff remains in town. I’m guarded can’t you see. A free spirit just me being me. What you get is what you’ll accept. Patience is key for the first step.

My Fallen Friends

My Fallen Friends
By: Tyler Ross

“Come follow me,” the voices echoed down the sleek hall. I can’t keep up with you all. You’re leaving me in the back, confused, forgotten and the feeling of being insignificantly small. What ever happened to my friends? The consistent faces now expire like years worth of trends. “Please continue, you can count on us.” I’ve heard that before. What more can we discuss? “Our alliance can’t be compared.” Then, If I mattered so much, why aren’t you still there? Plagued with the fallen of friends. The disappearance never reasons or amends. My reaching out is endless. Except there isn’t another side. So I pretend and I push on in hopes to not be buried inside. “Are you coming? We want you to tag along.” See, that’s the point. You never really wanted me to belong. I will not be your social security. I will not be a temporary convenience. Time’s up! For I don’t need this. “Your loss. We are closing the door, Ross.” I can handle that with all cost. A flavor of the week or a genuine everlasting bond. It’s like choosing between warmth or the winter with less for so long. I could use greater friends. The kind to remain close. My means to an end. The door shut and I stand alone. No light. No one else home. I thank those who shield the dark. A part of my circle engaging the few sparks. But still, more will leave. No explanation will not prevent me from pushing on. Still searching for a close knit to not believe. I’ve been plagued with fallen friends. My means to an end.

Lone Wolf

Lone Wolf
By: Tyler Ross

I sat at my desk today and thought to myself; I would give anything to be loved as much as I love, but I found no reply. I bet somewhere out there, she replied, "I'm right here and I'll see you soon for we will be together." There came a sigh. Relief was present or was it a sign of uncertainty? The days move along quicker and the urge multiplies around constant unfinished thoughts, which grasp and contract my feelings into hyper-drive. I need to know. I need to know. I will not settle and I will not go with the flow. Life is too easy when you let yourself go. My determination is like the final round of a competition. It’s not over till an outcome is known and in full restoration. Forget everyone I say as I do it myself. No one will hold these hands in this quest to help myself. She knows where she ought to love. She’s held on for so long. The questions won’t be answered until I go over and above. Break my curiosity into the control of my heart’s passion of love. We need action. This will is unbreakable as you see in me no hesitant for a reaction. Only the right love from the opposite, I deserve. Guaranteed satisfaction within us all. I refuse to let go and call it quits by these distances. I refuse to bow out or throw in the towel. But, I call you out on this forever. This lone wolf will call you out...forever.

Even Steven or Greedy Gale

Even Steven or Greedy Gale
By: Tyler Ross

Please wake me up when it’s over. This madhouse I’m living inside my skull. These people act like hypocrites and portray themselves as too big and full. Timing is everything, but would you agree you can’t divide it right? I’ve wasted all the breaths believing everything will have a brighter day with the masses too. Its not true. Come out from under there or from behind that monstrous wall. Its way too steep and my ambitions are far too used up to further fall. I’ll swallow my pride and go back to living my life with or without you. Keep pushing me away. The more and more of you I collect in the end, never stay anyway. You say I’ve changed, but forget my vocals are the same. You say I’m overbearing and the fact of me being realistic places me under the weight of blame. I can’t win. I’m always going to go against the grain. Too selfish. Too self-righteous making all the rules. You do. I know I’m not perfect and sorry I like to receive a rhythmic beat. Excuses are easy for all of you because it’s easier to walk away in retreat. Be an adult, give back and grow the hell up. Accept responsibility and respect the full glass given in your drinking cup. If you can’t be fair then, don’t play at all. What you project out will surely return in your favor like an echo down a hall.

A Seven Year Burden

A Seven Year Burden
By: Tyler Ross

“And so, your time is now," he said. That wishful thinking makes you brain-dead. Clear your mind and expect less. Your vulnerability put to the test. Careful now, that’s too much thinking. You’ll fall overboard and continue sinking. Hopelessness or fearlessness. Use your voice to relieve your stress. “I don’t believe you’ve learned a thing. Always settling for anything.” Oh, is this how it will always be? Way behind. Struggling. Reliving this apathy. “Tell me you’re giving up on me.” A lost cause. Hesitant pause. Never learn. Ignore the applause. Self motivation. Acclimation. Confidence. Silly frustration. The change began. Suddenly a new plan. He could feel the heart in his chest. A little patience honors progress. “Have you ever felt so well?” He kept at it and before he knew it. A nice trophy, he wouldn’t sell. Sometimes, he said, “It’ll get the best of you.” Stay true and move along. Distance yourself. Keep calm. For you’re becoming a man. A man, who isn’t afraid to belong.

Crying Rivers

Crying Rivers
By: Tyler Ross

You’ll never be me, nor should you care to. I’m not like you, nor do I plan to. Do all the things that I despise. You can fill a warehouse with your cheap replies. Convenience lays perfect just for you, but you cry when things don’t go the way they do. Always wondering why you get treated like dirt. Wondering why you continue to dig out the hurt. I know the answers and yes do they feel great. Constant complaining can’t be erased because you can’t escape. Swimming up the river of tears. No longer can you paddle surrounded by smoking mirrors. Can’t erase and no escape with an attitude in the clear. Go run to someone who actually cares. This river overflows with many just like you. Maybe you should join a club or cult and drink the punch to die too. The ball is in your flood. Only you can help you. But you’ll cry rivers and tidal wave all the bliss that finds you. Now, where will you be? Crying rivers and living in the blues.

I Reject

I Reject
By: Tyler Ross

I’m not needed. You’re not needed. So come sit by me. Two of a kind. A fresh find. This match can make me pleasant. Soul searching. I’ve been searching. For a ride just like you. Hop on now. Scream so loud. Feel the power of this man. Now, you actually believed me. Pathetic one. You take me for sleazy. Get out of here. Not that type. I’m not damn easy. Get a grip girl. Your heads about to explode. You’re weak, selfish, and now everyone knows. The ego popped. Its just that fun. To put you into your place. Close your legs and settle down hun. I reject. And say no to you. I reject. Say no to you. Watch you hurt yourself. I can’t do. I reject. And say no to you.

The Fiction We've Been Told

The Fiction We’ve Been Told
By: Tyler Ross

Before there was you, there were many others
One civilization followed after another
Shared beliefs written from scratch
A rewritten book to please for souls to catch
What makes you believe yours is right?
That word called faith hangs loosely in and out of sight
No consistency, can’t you see it’s no way to live
Just one group trying to control another
Realistically, something’s got to give

High hopes and convictions come crashing down
Years from now, how much of it will be around?
Making way for the individual mind
More truth in that than the blind leading the blind

Ever since death, man has sparked up the thought
The existence of an afterlife incorporated into life’s plot
The world is vast and most want a safety net
To lump every answer under an organized crime bet
A false sense of security and a foolish way to preach
Don’t tell outsiders they’re going to hell because of what you teach
You don’t have the answers of what’s right or what’s wrong
There has been organized failure before you even belonged
To a group of disciples who’ve come and gone

You don’t have to think when the thinking has already been done
When there is something unexplainable, you go ahead and blame it on the one
No responsibility, it has come down to fear, tradition and a back up plan
There is no questioning, but a dependency of this pedestal higher than man
Give up the idea or keep it to yourself and don’t rely on anyone ever
Chances are no one will be there when you need them most to get together
So stop acting like you are safe and better than the rest
That attitude has caused too many wars and a lack of free thinking at best

He Won't Be Coming Back

He Won't Be Coming Back
By: Tyler Ross

detain myself as I keep running of the mouth. my verbal assaults can destroy. his mother, his father, all the motherfucking lies. you can call me insane, but I never severed my ties. from an honest man to the next foolish slave, the cheap shots that you carried will guarantee I smash your grave. I'm standing here with my problems and you lay under my feet. you didn't stand a chance, while I took that risk to leap. you call yourself a human just because you bled. as far as I know, most are happy you're fucking dead. alienated, I can't be frustrated with results like that. a child, who never had the will to grow. a child, who was in constant aggression. who fucking cares, if he didn't learn his lesson. he's dead! get fucked!

Who Would Have Continued To Think? (Not You)

Who Would Have Continued To Think? (Not You)
By: Tyler Ross

I spent hours on days thinking
And the many times I did find
That my intentions were right
And the extra effort lay in between the lines
But now, who was I kidding
All this work would be a bust
Never thought I’d get caught up in
The mode of anti-chance and anti-trust
I had the option to already let go
From the facts that you did show
It kept me awake but with no mistake
I wouldn’t let myself sink so low

I’m clinging to the railing
Only to prevent from being broken
This is not a game I play
Persistence always in motion
I’ll say it like one, two, three
Open up your eyes
To see where I’m going
Full effort is in effect
Check out my door as it’s open
These words that I speak
Hold the truth and don’t represent the weak
This is not a game I play
Determined to win this very week
Let’s see where you end up going

So why do so many of you
Call it quits so fast?
At the drop of a gun
All you do is run
When you can’t comprehend one
Just stop!
Let’s break, break, break it
The mode of operation
You can give up all you want
Or you can be the first
To start a new celebration
Take my hand
Let’s go

Mutual Dream

Mutual Dream
By: Tyler Ross

Living in the moment off a water reflected break. I came to my feet overlooking the ripples in the lake. Casting out into my surroundings, I landed upon a dream. Eyes taken from the floor and investing into her gracious scene. Introductory achievements received on both ends. The heat of the day continued as the laughter broke out amongst our group of friends. Boat rides, lounging floats, and the games of competition. There were many moments when we had the chance to get connected. Time flew like a flock of birds headed in one direction. We paced ourselves as the chemicals set in trading with hints of affection. Addicted to the night, we carried each other's spirits so bright. Onto the fireworks show, I knew we had to become linked. Like America’s positive reputation with the fourth, the beauty was luminous from the sky on down next to me. Pool playing a shark, you could tell the sparks were enlightening all around. This evening was closing and the fun could be found at the opposite side of the street. The lights went out; so the overall memories play to repeat. The words in the dark to the soft touch returned, our lips continued to meet under the sheets as we converged. We tuckered close throughout the night to wake in the morning to a lovely embraced sight. Never did we want this day to conclude, so we set on out for a perfect day number two. We feasted on grub and engaged in boating transactions, all the way down to relaxing with ultimate satisfaction. The exquisiteness hovered like a fairy-wand giving us the drive. Two days, I never felt more alive. Independence thrived into each and every heart, but there was one I couldn’t let get too far. Her aesthetic star nestled safely for I will pride to invest what I can earn to relive this vibe over and over.

I Traveler

I Traveler
By: Tyler Ross

As I walk out into the optimistic world of all
Highway blues, while I cityscape through the breeze
I hear the calls of the past, "come back!"
"Please come back!" I will never come back
If I have learned one important life fact
It would be to hold your inner-child's heart close
Because it never loses its smile, for I toast
To a leap of justice and a rebellious teen
Don't ever let the roaches cling
And continue to follow the life long dream
I travel the road, this road in which I borrow
Past the cities, the hills, the trees for a better tomorrow
A traveler alone, I seek this traveler alone
Please don't come home
You can never ache for home

Blown Out Of Proportion

Blown Out Of Proportion
By: Tyler Ross

I’ve got an idea, that’s bound to break your fall
Let’s pretend you made it out alive
Don’t worry, they won’t even recognize you at all
What a subordinate reject you’ve stained to opposite eyes
Such a hopeless tragedy for promise
Why do you parade around wasting people’s time?
Follow the shine of the light at the end of the tunnel
The permanent county mishap kind
The valuable lesson is handy, so sign the dotted line
Make way for the loser’s intuition
You are the head of the class reunion
Can we please have a toast for the valedictorian?
The average wants your excuse to state, “I’m only human!”
You failed as the lead and we ask that you please
Put away the pledges and take a seat
Far away from anyone else; when you want to compete
You are a common case of the norm
A fledgling not quite ready for flight
Prepare to join the reoccurring storm
Back to the beginning where it all took place
Just another damn nobody
Who is way too easy to be replaced

Chumps Talk, Gentlemen Walk

Chumps Talk, Gentlemen Walk
By: Tyler Ross

Make your move and please think it through
Your filth tongue spits such malicious fire
My revenge is to overcome you
Held up on the macho man image
Who are you to attack my character?
You aren’t’ true
I’ve learned to question everything
I won’t let my guard down
The power control will come crumbling
Always smart with it, eh?
If so then, why are you slowly falling to your knees?
Relay that by me one more time
Whats a crime is your abuse on societies nice?
Your face is split showing twice
A cesspool of ignorance and animosity corrodes
Nothing worth giving a shit about you shows
Make that move you’ve been gunning about
Don’t slip up or you’ll continue ending up hurting yourself
The pain already is inflicted upon by the value of your importance
Those who call you a friend are in doubt
Wonder why they all walked away?
I’ll tell you, but I like the fact you continue to diminish today
Think of what you are really asking for
This very day you feel like a winner, but really you are a one man war
Keep your thoughts above the belt
What you can’t say nice, to me won’t be felt

Loss Of Color (The Golden Days)

Loss Of Color (The Golden Days)
By: Tyler Ross

Before you knew it, we were stepping out with grown shoes
Into a world moving beyond fast with nothing to lose
Get a career they said, it will be your ticket to a contented life
The next step is to set your sights on obtaining a wife
Times were changing and the American Dream was forcefully embedded
Our youth was over and what we knew became like old files shredded

Let’s go back and piece them all together
To a time where we looked odd in grandma’s knit sweaters
Long before hours of television and the over consumption of video games
Let’s relive days spent being young playing in the summer heat with just our Hanes

Memories of hide and seek or skateboarding with the neighborhood crew.
Tackle football, bikes, and cul-de-sac hockey motivation from watching D2.
We lived with the spirits inside our hearts and the imagination sprouted within our heads.
The days passed on by every time we closed our eyes under the sheets of our own beds.
Wiffle ball garage baseball and the ding-dong ditch rush
Playing tag in the streets trying to win by the arguments of a close touch
Beach escapades to the friendly quarrels revolving around competition wars
To name calling, wrestling battles, and mischievous ventures, once we step foot out our doors.

Wave bye to mom and dad because the white picket fence is gone
We had to substitute it all for a suitcase we knew was wrong
The childhood dreams are all we have left within ourselves
Let’s not abandon them by sticking to what we hate
Don’t replace true passion or let all the contribution go to waste

Let’s take a trip to the golden days
The golden days, where we didn’t have a care
These golden days, where we had scrapped knees and a fresh wave in our hair
Today we wake and find it’s not there
Let’s get going back to the golden days
The days of pure fresh breaths of air

Fleeing Heart

Fleeing Heart
By: Tyler Ross

I worked so hard. I put so much in. To do it all again. I wouldn’t see a win. You never wanted me, but to keep me around. It makes me sad. So, I left town. Now, I flee from my heart. You did just enough and made it too tough. I flee from my own heart. I’ll move on knowing I did no wrong. Eye witnessed your actions all on display. You were a dream in reality, but now the end to a fading song. Oh no, I believe we’ve seen a turning point. Only to be forced with change. I worked hard for you. I proved them all wrong. Went all out and let my heart down. Time to kiss it all goodbye. There’s no point holding on. Wishful thinking leaves you hung by strings. Back to being a bird without wings. I flee from my heart.

The Channel Spectrum While In Search For Sanity

The Channel Spectrum While In Search For Sanity
By: Tyler Ross

loop holes tremble as excuses, while pigeon holes seek freedom
I walk this road of understanding, but so many lack efficient rhythm
a decade of bad decisions I live with like a group of draining roommates
however, I possess the logic and reality of common sense's best students
my mouth is shut, but my brain is fatigued with neighboring ego stupidity
I continue to walk, but this time I do it bare foot
for the sheer experience of letting loose, I stay put
the direction isn't narrow like the swine who infest around
it's night out and my speed becomes faster trying to avoid the unwanted crowd
brilliance has been sold to one out of ten accompanying faces
dusk's recovery doesn't settle past any of my previous cases
from the beginning to the end in which I seek
a spurt of cold will attack, but the learned truth will send a retreat
creatures lash out to strip away anything I've come to be
there are numerous battle wounds, but they haven't reached the core of me
i've appeared weak, but the reward comes to the waiting war
triumphant will present a time as the fog rolls in quick
to drowing out the pictures of the atrocious matter
no longer will I have to see the wood without the grain
because there will be a nail in it for defending myself against the insane
striking away at the tyrant known as the critic
I gradually erase the expression of control from the aggressor to win it
I then thrashed around and in front of every possible bush
spraying them all with reform to expand the violence against themselves
eventually my quarter down the well wish will grant sized giants
to exchange with the venomous chattering substance and stomping them into mush
laughter arrived in time to celebrate this channel of escape
I gathered my wit, a bottle of my spirit, and sold the leftovers to their mistakes

Be Exposed or Abandon All Hope

Be Exposed or Abandon All Hope
By: Tyler Ross

It’s a feeling I’ve trapped far inside. The question of how much I should ride. The rules out being the nice guy. You’ve given me no choice, but to expose them tonight. Let’s put this in a whole new perspective. You’ve given me a whole new objective. How much will I push you to the edge? Before the last nerve is cut. For this I pledge. Allegiance against your selfish lies. Acting like my actions are a big surprise. Fuck you for changing your colors my dear. I’m glad my feelings are in the clear. It’s unfortunate for you honesty doesn’t exist. Who are you really cheating? When everything continues to persist. To a character that is slowly losing its appeal. Like a bottle passed on for being opened at the seal. I resend my invitation to you. Now a name that doesn’t ring a bell. Forgotten purposely. I wish you'd go to hell for the way you treated me.

Bad News

Bad News
By: Tyler Ross

If today couldn’t be any worse. More bad news. I’ve got nothing left to lose. Shed my last layer. I’ve got nothing left to lose. Isn’t it funny how everything falls apart. To those with aesthetic hearts. I just don’t fucking care. If today couldn’t be any worse. More bad news. Every decision I choose. Blessed with bad luck. Every thing continues to get fucked. I sit here, so sincere in complete fear. Of what I’ve become. A soul of love plagued. I’m contagious with bad news. Life is attached with the blues. Singing for the hope of light. Black clouded with bad luck. Every thing continues to get fucked. Growing tired of all this repeat. Fuck it all. I’ve got nothing left to lose. I’ll defeat. More bad news.

Woulda Shoulda Coulda

Woulda Shoulda Coulda
By: Tyler Ross

There isn’t a day where the sun doesn’t shine. Like it or not life passes by. We live, we die. No questions asking why. I’m glad to see you go. Don’t want to ever sink so low. You selfish prick, get a grip. Learn to respect those who respect you back. Feed the lies. You can’t realize why I walked away. Been there before and numb to it all. There isn’t a day where I can’t recall I ever trusted you. I’m not sorry. The choice was made. I’ll live with mine as you play blind. You were nothing, but a big mistake. Get what’s coming to you. This world you’ve gone and chose. A cliché ending grows and regret will always show.

Killing The Dream

Killing The Dream
By: Tyler Ross

Live your life. I'll live mine. The ship has sailed. I'll be just fine. No more doubt. Positive choice. Reason in my voice. Left to be erased. Now guarded. Can't see your face. Been replaced. Moving on and on and on. Found a better place.

Low Blow

Low Blow
By: Tyler Ross

Talk your talk or keep your peace. Nose out of my business. Talk is cheap. Find yourself out to dry. Failure in your future. No reply. Word to the wise. Back it up. Time flies for goodbyes. More running of the mouth. There’s nothing left to prove. Except, you’re a fake. No time for you. Cut loose.

Overrated

Overrated
By: Tyler Ross

Reach out for changes to be made. Wake to find you are nothing. You fade. Lost within your self.
Settling for less than you already are. You’re a 99 in a hundred crowd. Way too proud. You are no one. Fucking no one. Reality will come for you to be burnt. Life’s true crime. Stop sign. Waste of time.

Actions Over Words

Actions Over Words
By: Tyler Ross

Always late
Tempting fate
Last train home
No complaint
Sink or swim
Full of weight
Crash and burn
They’ll never learn
No respect
We’ll dissect
Ego trips
In full effect
Broken down
Don’t come around
Selfish core
What’s in store
Trendy setter
Nothing better
Set to fail
Attention getter
Common path
Fake a laugh
Discontent
Covered half
More to score
Actions poor
Words bore
Phony galore
Friendliness
Is deceitfulness
Happy we
Never wanted this
Kick the ground
Stand there proud
Walk on by
Part of the mass
Wake up
Your actions are obvious
Words are nothing
Only rude behavior
Can I ask a favor?
Never mind
There’s a limit line

Stranger At My Door

Stranger At My Door
By: Tyler Ross

Didn’t know what I was thinking
We all know that roads been closed
Been running around in circles
Back in the same place but more exposed
Who’d guess you’d walk away
But linger close to myself
I had no idea your motives
Would have an impact on my health

So sick inside
Picked apart and left for the crows
I’m moving on
Cause we all know that’s what you want
Who am I to believe you’d change
Words are words but actions engage
A stranger at my door
Hands held out now wanting more
A stranger at my door
I cannot recognize you anymore

Strung along by your guessing games
You had a different plan
You said forever baby
But packed your bags again
You say I’m everything you want
I let myself be compromised
You say I’m everything and more
What’s there sure doesn’t add to the score
I’m locking you out

A stranger at my door
Hands held out now wanting more
A stranger at my door
I cannot recognize you anymore

The difference between me and you
Is the position that you stand
You go ahead and turn your back
For I am not your back-up plan
The time has been made for
now, you act like a stranger at my door

Absent Childhood

Absent Childhood
By: Tyler Ross

a gluttonous household is found behind many doors
overly protected professional mother’s raising children
the lack of freedom appears throughout a possessive schedule
generally controlled and guided into a mirror image of their ruler
a sophisticated form of child abuse runs a common course
free will is an idea of the past
how long will the molding maltreatment in young lives last?
they rob the adventures of exploration
youth is spent carefully planned and monitored
play dates are advised instead of the simple act of being spontaneous
a free for all revolves around building carbon copies
the carelessness comes to the shaping of the child
what ever happened to stepping out into the wild?
new generation mothers corrupt the creativity of a young mind
forcefully managed by how they decide to spend their time
products of their environment
parents fail and continue to make the bigger statement

May's Angel

May’s Angel
By: Tyler Ross

Light intercepts my eyes
Directing them into a past smile
A burst of electric shock bypasses through
I clinch tighter to her style
She smiles
Two years worth the while
An aura circulates my presence
As we meet half way
My cheeks put my muscles to work
Ear to ear
Oxygen rushes into gear
A summer dress captures and crafts an ultimate rapture
Energy exposed
Stories traded, while smiles escalated
Throughout the Sunday afternoon
Laughter was in permanent bloom
This month of May
Where I can sit back and reflect the day
I spent time with a beautiful angel

A Textbook Retrospect

A Textbook Retrospect
By: Tyler Ross

I crossed into the city just the other day
From your perspective I’d say it was okay
Dandy like the smile you started off with
To the pokerface and the heart-blown kiss
You changed and I can say it with emphasis
To a cardboard cutout who’ll need a therapist
So lost in yourself
What can you do?
The true colors do show
While I’ll always stay in tune
Maturity is crucial
I hope you get there soon
Sincerity is respectful
I’m sorry; you need to leave the room
Excuses have become your vice
You are so bold now
How content you are with your life
One time its column A
Tomorrow its column B
You are going to need a map
To discover you’ve lead yourself out to sea
Shifty and inconsistent
Your life is advertised
Desperate for attention
Adding weight to your size
Call on the weakest links
You enjoy the dime a dozen
I hope you see your loss
Regret steps in as your closest cousin
You want to be alone
But you’ll put yourself up to date
You sure know how to make sense
When you’ve become a strike out at the plate
You walked a bridge and now you play with fire
What kind of person are you trying to inspire?
Such a sweet child who I can’t recognize
You aren’t high up
Who are you to big league me down to size?

I Am Me

I Am Me
By: Tyler Ross

I bloom in May, but leave by fall
I freeze at night, but warm up eventually after all
I grow old and learn many lessons
I tell stories, which hold many sessions
I climb trees for my escape
I hold my breath when I duck my head under a lake
I’m shy to the world, can’t you see?
I run from the many gifts, which are free
I’m inspired, but hardly impressed
I sleep hours away getting too much rest
I travel the globe and barely take pictures
I get watery eyes because I miss her
I’m an overachiever and a dating disaster
I am too nice and a romantic bastard
I overly smile and follow my heart
I confuse people with my art
I dream large and settle for less
I tend to stow my stress
I’m calm like the act of meditation
I stay steadfast by demonstration
I cram my brain like an overfilled suitcase
I cheat myself from my potential weight
I avoid confrontation with subject change
I play it smart, but repeatedly lose, which is strange
I feel left out some of the time
I never lead myself to cross the line
I’m the poster boy gentleman
I won’t allow my patience to wear thin
I’ve accepted last, but never least
I am driven to communicate my peace
I hang in the balance like a pendulum still
I play my goals like a kite, chasing it up the hill
I dig my shovel the deepest being all that I can be
I am the last endangered fish swimming in the sea
I beat myself up over the title of perfection
I’m the man in the mirror with no reflection
I am me.

Indestructible

Indestructible
By: Tyler Ross

everybody knows the story of the honest man
who never let negativity into his head
took everything life ever threw, standing so tall
forever remain trusted and indestructible

day to day, he followed his heart
lived up to his expectations from the start
the type of man you wanted by your side
determined in life with the persistent vibe

he’s the nine-to-five with the extra hour
while the lilies died, he picked a different flower
he’s the man who stood up for the warmest hearts
when the rest of the world wanted to break them apart

so please teach the young ones this

don’t stress the small stuff, react when there’s seriousness
when you’ve got nothing to lose, you’re in a better state of mind
you’re like the sun; maintain your light and burn on
what could have been isn’t even an option

he answered me with this

everyone you’ll love will take you for a ride
you’re indestructible, your spirit will never die

indestructible, a man who continues to believe
indestructible, like a tree with one lasting leaf
he’s the man who never called it quits
indestructible, his life lived with no regrets

Vanity's Slave

Vanity’s Slave
By: Tyler Ross

traveling to see the vain man
gather your material, your main plan
make it count
for its going to be a one-sided ride
do you breathe him in to get high?
you aren't as important to him
a slave to his obsession
he'll walk away
with tears in your eyes
you're his cheap sexual game
confused little girl
mistaken love for looks
hypocrisy replaces shame
you are the one to blame
sick excuse for a woman's name
ripped to shreds
by a temporary transition
tricked over and over
robbed with fallacious words
behind your back
he becomes unfaithful
another notch to his belt
still in a hurry
you reach for sex to be felt
so full of himself
is this what its come to?

Can You Feel It?

Can You Feel It?
By: Tyler Ross

open up your eyes
see things clear
fresh breath of air
can you feel it now?
can you feel it coming back again?
you’ve drifted away
I’m coming clean
quickly you forget my name
a wolf at your door
attracted to the vain
smitten the common way
easily replaced
born to lead on
i should have known
chameleon like tendencies
i can't recognize your face
you no longer live in that skin
do you feel?
hope this pain opens up your eyes
what you don’t see
you can’t feel
open them up
see everything clear
life just isn’t the same
this pain you can’t feel
understanding hurts
can you feel it now?

A New Change Of Pace

A New Change Of Pace
By: Tyler Ross

Drop in by the nose
Take it slow and cruise
The ride is for experience
The lesson is none
Get up and do it again
Stick up for your rights
Live within yourself
Take aim with your sights
Hero of the blue
Hero of the cement
Walker of the streets
Hipster of the new generation
Coast in manifestation
Pose with confidence
Live with no one watching
Leave the same as your entrance
A new change of pace

Life On The Rise

Life On The Rise
By: Tyler Ross

You pack your belongings
You head for the door
You kiss your loved ones goodbye
You exit the door
Sometimes you have to see the world
To find out what you left behind
Obstacles will follow
Be thankful you are free
Never back down
Put strength behind you ultimately
Grow up and prosper
Stay true to those and yourself
Conquer your goals
Don’t let go of your dreams
Stay on point
Evaluate your self
Never given in
Steadily seek the win
Life on the rise
Sometimes to accomplish the things you love
You leave the ones you love behind
Life on the rise
My life on the rise

New Age Uproar (21st Century)

New Age Uproar (21st Century)
By: Tyler Ross

Further and further away
We watch the tides as they fade
Centuries have come and gone
The older we get
The more we don’t get along
Competition
We tend to one up the next
Pushing the envelope
Not giving it a rest
Peace is an illusion these days
Sold as a temporary word
Nobody to collect the life time award
Searching for a solution
Not a muscle movement in the concept
Too much waste
Too much pollution
Rotten minds are the new frequent instrument used
Fused antagonism sky rockets in large numbers
We are the destroyers of familiar borders
No world order within ourselves
Too busy burning bridges
Not keeping thoughts to one self
Relinquishing the next like the common cold
These days are reflected like a nine square letter fold
Today nothing stays gold
Silver lining maybe the strongest hold
Togetherness a rare notion
Selfishness continues to swim our ocean
Peace is an illusion these days

His Casualty

His Casualty
By: Tyler Ross

Made perfect all around
She is one of many I know
Heart stopping, there’s so much to show
Crosses your life, but doesn’t even know
You’re speechless, and its hard to think about it
Girl, has it great or so she knows
Her man plays her as he comes and goes
Lies rule her life, but smiles always show
And still she chooses to be with him

Tell me, did he sweep you off your feet?
And then, was he consistent early before his retreat?
Girl, when will you realize it’s all fake?
Please don’t continue to make another mistake
Because you are way too divine
You should be treated like you are one of a kind
Think about it, don’t rewind
You are an amazing find

Example

It hurts me to see you with him
When I know you’ll always just be
Another casualty
I can’t sleep
And it crushes at my heart
You’re so breathtaking like a falling star
But still another casualty

Her mind’s set so
She chooses to ignore
The one who loves her and adores
She feels respected and safe in his arms
But it’s only a matter of time
When you are replaced and he feels satisfied
And you’re left crying feeling less alive
Don’t be foolish and follow the signs
Before you’re used, alone with another goodbye

Did he sweep you off your feet?
And then, was he consistent early before his retreat?
Girl, when will you realize it’s all fake?
Please don’t continue to make another mistake
Because you are way too divine
You should be treated like you are one of a kind
Think about it, don’t rewind
You are an amazing find

It hurts me to see you with him
When I know you’ll always just be
Another casualty
I can’t sleep
And it crushes at my heart
You’re so breathtaking like a falling star
But still another casualty

Priceless, I know
He can’t recognize your magnificence
So, he don’t deserve you like I do
Girl, dig down deep within you
Irreplaceable not to spare
Its time someone truly cared

It hurts me to see you with him
When I know you’ll always just be
Another casualty
I can’t sleep
And it crushes at my heart
You’re so breathtaking like a falling star
But still another casualty

Priority Party or Beneficial Priority

Priority Party or Beneficial Priority
By: Tyler Ross

if you think you are slick
go find yourself some glue
because you are all over the place
no stability, meaning i'm not following you
if you believe i'm a joke
then go back to your clown
he'll teach you better tricks
like how to slut yourself around
against all odds i'll smash it
down to nothing, i'm moving past it
coast to coast, you aren't on my level
way far behind and below like the devil
eyes to the sky and ask yourself why
put up those hands and pray for a reply
if the answer is no, then find another guy
while you party out your brain, i won't kiss you goodbye!

Immovability

Immovability
By: Tyler Ross

Accelerate seasonal shifts transcribed between souls
Elevate elusive beauty beyond eyes to the deserver of harmony
Colossal moments seized over divine works of aspiration
Visualization shapes titanic virtues of perfection
A holy alliance of patience formulated through immense expression
Confessions laser zip landlines devoted as a focal point targeting flawless attention
Air service shot globally in concentration for important destinations
Brain ingenuity conceived over interfered particles of sound
Justified geniality controls the clock hands in permanence
Everlasting urges propel like dynamite to its surroundings
Super sonic waves conjure into reality as solid foundation dead bolting doubt still
Superlative communication masks as the adhesive
Yielding is restricted for a pair using internal and external examples of amity
Dedication upholds the power shaft driven into action daily
Never ending emotion reinforces the rope tighter and closer to complete

Shaded

Shaded
By: Tyler Ross

the yellows hit just right
but i am shaded
transportation glides onward
but i am shaded
a purpose today for most
but i am shaded
my mind is like a blender
causing me to wear thin
i am still shaded
show me the yellows
show me that bright blue sky
show me your heart again
so i can be alright
i am shaded for i want to say
i am shaded, please pave back my way
still shaded on 3rd street and Hauser
i am silenced as the rain showers
help me
i am shaded
i need to be dry
i am still shaded

Nice & Comforting

Nice & Comforting
By: Tyler Ross

its crazy how i got here
all these promises cut so loose
attentive to the bone
why does fate drag me by its noose?
actions speak louder than words darling
no surprises when
leaving hands oh so empty
time passes me by

i'll never understand
being myself casts me out
i've got to realize
the fear you have

in something like a dream
and its haunting me
why you said what you did
nice and comforting

its almost like you don't understand
why i stuck around so long?
feeding my heart with passion
every damn day
the momentary space provided
could fill voids of success
patience, support from every corner
then, why did you let me go?

i'll never understand
being myself casts me out
i've got to realize
the fear you have

in something like a dream
and its haunting me
why you said what you did
nice and comforting

it's been so long for you to come to your senses
i thought i lost you or maybe i already have
i can't tell the signs
they are all over the place

i'll never understand
being myself casts me out
i've got to realize
the fear you have

in something like a dream (come true)
and its haunting me
why you said what you did
nice and comforting

My Best Friend

My Best Friend
By: Tyler Ross

Sometimes I can’t grasp
what I’m feeling inside
I wish I could see your face
or that last moment in time
I wonder what I’d be like to see you again
you were so close, but now so far away
my best friend

I remember the days
where I never left your side
two big smiles and laughter
but again I’m crushed tonight
your life was so fragile
too short, taken so fast
I sit here lonely, waiting
will you come back

I won’t forget you
I’ll see you again

One day we’ll meet again
my best friend

Sun Bright Over LA City Lights

Sun Bright Over LA City Lights
By: Tyler Ross

Its raining in Los Angeles but the sky is black
The ground is dry and there’s a welcome mat
Passage for one a bond not be broken
A smile for two will bring the token
Laughter is the feel good drag
The gentle touch along my long sleeve plaid
Innocence renown as love still lay shy
God’s love divided down the middle multiplies
Soft droplets hardly felt
Moments pass defeating all drought
Life progresses on graciously the Lord’s way
Designed to be together so blissful in every way
The heart yearns for only one
She is my permanent light bright as the sun

Apple Seeds Make Apples & Two Generate Sparks

beauty flows
beauty knows
life exposed
life glows
heart pumps
heart jumps
eyes attach
eyes match
hands hold
hands mold
smiles prove
smiles sooth
months learn
months yearn
feelings sent
feelings meant
love forever
love together
faith begins
faith wins
words feel
words heal
two continue to bloom roots.

Fearful Runaway

Fearful Runaway
By: Tyler Ross

you stand in my way
i need you out
my space isn't enough
i need more
can't you see I'm greedy
stop your sincerity
let go of your feelings
it's easy, so watch me do so
not important anymore
you are spun in my trap
fingers stuck together
try and pull away
you can't because your hooked
poor baby, poor little fool
i let go, why can't you?
everything i said was planned
good guys aren't worth it
i need trouble
i don't listen to myself
i'm influenced by third parties
my priorities slip down the cracks
too much on my plate, can't relate
you're too perfect to keep around
i don't make sense
logics just aint my cup of tea
i'd rather have a mediocre relationship
life, love, and happiness the odd way
i'm in love, but don't know how to stay
easily separated from my driven mentality
i've lost my image of you out of the blue
please let go, i don't make sense
please let go, i'm in total pretend defense
i wish i was stronger, i'm not...go!

Doubt & Misdirection

Doubt & Misdirection
By: Tyler Ross

dying to hold onto your crutch.
you fail at attempts of success.
money matters most.
when you value everything less.
catapult into a world of dreams.
hovered by cries expecting everything.
questions everybody has to answer.
lying to yourself only hurts one.
your feelings weigh you down a ton.
anchoring everything to the foundation.
a poisoned atmosphere encased within.
a walking disease latches to your soul.
fear devours you whole.
ignorance follows your every move.
your heart lives for malice.
while independence has no light.
separations is no where in sight.
the revolution of gluttony is here.
popular by demand and staying near.
influence annihilates all chance.
you can't establish your convictions.
when emotions rule.
you find yourself in front of a mirror.
prying on flaws.
an optimism theme
that one day you'll be in the clear.
only if you dare to be called out.
the world rotates on
while you drown in the sea of doubt.

Vision Glued Across The Water

Vision Glued Across The Water
by: Tyler Ross

traveling where the sunset shows
the world becomes still
as time is consumed trying to catch up
as it grows
I’m capturing immaculate beauty
beyond her deep hypnotic eyes
brings heart warming attention
along with a smile I’d like to mention
that can paint personality to any room
she accomplished that
as my desire was developed by lovely words spoken in tune
so I ask myself
why me?
no response apparently life’s mystery
and until then, I wonder
why me?
searching for answers
when days go by and we move closer
such an immense angel looms near the sea of distance
calling my name to spread grace with persistent waves
in direction to her happiness
I strive to reach out for
an unforgettable impression so effective
amnesia is impossible
I’ll dig deep, hands down in hopes of the key to her astonishing heart
no regrets cause this stunning young lady was burned into me from the start

Waiting For Reality’s Treasure

Waiting For Reality’s Treasure
By: Tyler Ross

The world is tough and doesn’t owe you a thing
You can’t figure out the tricks
You can’t figure out other human beings
You sit there by yourself
Being yourself
The planet is confusing
But you stay content while you sit on the shelf
Waiting for the right exposure
To show off what you can do
The genius you possess through and through
Quite nerdy but always with that smile
Its only a matter of time
Before your reflection is captivated
Along with your unique sense of style
Patiently waiting or patiently thinking
Collectively balanced but already relinquishing
The path you’re getting yourself into
Nevertheless, the goal is never second best
But a matter of strategically winning first prize
Honorable mentioned or leave him out back
No worries or failure can knock him off track
Because he’ll always believe in you
The decision can scar
Or raise the bar
To where warriors are triumphant
And the defeated competition are
An exact dream he’s dreamt before
The sorcerer and his sword
The king of the rock award
The guitar player who plays his chord
Beautifully like the day they first met
Open the door she stood
More graceful than before
Luminous and electrified
The heart then multiplied
Because he knew he found his long lost treasure

Mystification

Mystification
By: Tyler Ross

its becoming evident
the signs are green
the obvious indications vibe
used company echoes
reception digs its mark
a coin lays heads down
the other side a mystery
lies are the question symbol
truth scapegoat'd now a scandal
assessment runs its course
spirit's priceless value returned
a smile retracted
a voice silenced
adoration and sincerity in doubt
not burnt out but future sidelined

Thumbs Up!

THUMBS UP!
By: Tyler Ross

Before you come to a conclusion
Make sure you have the facts
Evaluate your exposure
Thumbs up is where it’s at
Don’t speak unless spoken to
Your words can spiral down
Leaving you unhappy
And then you only frown
Thumbs up!
No matter where you’re at
Thumbs up!
Positive is coming back
You want to steal contentment
Because you lack your own
You won’t win this time
When consequences send you home
I’m a part of something
Staying true to the very end
Wake up and smell the truth
My life I will defend
Thumbs up!
No matter where you’re at
Thumbs up!
Positive is coming back
Keeping your cool
Never stressing someone else
Committed for success
Always willing to help
Don’t worry about the others
Focus on what’s best
Eliminate the hate
Put yourself to the test
Thumbs up is where it’s at

Break Free

Breaking FREE
By: Tyler Ross

like shattered glass
i'm breaking free
the memories are
not what they used to be
poisoned thoughts
are all i see
this waiting is pointless
i'm breaking free
run away and hide your head
left in the past
already dead
no one can take this life i lead
to the top
i'm breaking free
try and catch me
the choice is yours
no one can stop me
i'm closing doors
left behind
my broken dreams
rebuilding myself
i'm breaking free


-ask me to play this song on the acoustic...i'll do it for ya.
*learning from the past, setting aside the odds and trash, and getting to where we need to be fully happy.*

Los Angeles Lights
By: Tyler Ross

pardon me for asking you
you looked in my eyes
i couldn't help but notice
your graceful vibe

would i see you tonight?
or have you passed me by?
the hot winter nights
it feels so right

confidence brought me to you
i hope you see my next move
i could save your life
in these Los Angeles Lights

six months now in the past
a mystery behind its glass
i fail to see the picture

another story for the books
pieced together my last look
as i head for home
under these Los Angeles Lights

When Lives Are Apart

When Lives Are Apart
By: Tyler Ross

smile with me and tell me all your dreams
i will try my best to give you everything
the world is cold, with obstacles everywhere
don't ever give up, as i guide you there

don't forget your beautiful from the inside out
you can't question that or have any doubts
if gorgeous got old i'd find a new word
i'd replace it with love and we'd fly away like birds

together so happy a fairy tale end
i will give all the love i can send
not so perfect, but i'm getting there, i'm getting there
please show me something so i know you care

i'm sorry i failed you in our past
i was too blind, but that didn't last
you're so special, my perfect match
if only you knew that my heart's attached

i opened my heart
and it fell apart
again and again
i'm lost within

i did it again
lost in the wind
you saved my heart
when lives are apart

Surfer's Paradise

Surfer's Paradise
By: Tyler Ross

it was an early summer in australia
the gold coast surrounded me
tall blue skies and tremendous oceans
i knew i was finally free
that's where i met you, smiling at me
you could say its magic, and i'll smile gracefully
some kind of bond that wasn't fabricated
i'll ask you tonight, if you'll take my hand
feeling so important next to you
how do you do the things you do?
the moonlight shines oh so bright
i'm back in california and you're out of sight
eighteen hours, i'll still write to you
maybe some days, you'll think of me too
far from home, but i've earned this life
the best day i had was in surfer's paradise

Turn It Around

Turn It Around
By: Tyler Ross

times get rough
we go through many friends
hour after hour
repeating the latest trends
never will we know
the reasons for it all
late night shindigs
same ol' fucking calls
more and more
parties with the "B's"
loser gets faded
dude passes STD's
living in this town
find drama at every end
goals turn to drugs
nobody to defend
and we call out a bluff
speak of the truth
run around wild
expose every youth
if you think you're smart
go back to school
drop the act
don't be a fucking fool
make way for the hope
live for something great
kill all the attitude
let go of all your hate
turn it around
or accept esco's fate
turn it around
before its too late

A Special Reader

A SPECIAL READER
By: Tyler Ross

The pages have been torn
and I am not the one to blame
the book has been neglected
and all I feel is shame
but finally there has been one
to start the first chapter
what a reader as you can see
the beauty she captures
the smile is radiant
making the pages glow
it’s healing the fractures
watching as she sets the tone
a miracle is what I call her
the best gift of the year
taken off the shelf
the mystery no longer feared
the withdrawals grasp my mind
torture, she’s not far away
the chance is mine to give
the perfect book in every way
chapter by chapter
proving I’m the best choice
this girl is what I want
every opportunity to see
and hear her voice
she is my very special reader
a dream turn reality
a very special reader
with the greatest personality
she is my special reader

Revive The Day

i'll keep it short for you must rest
the good kind of sleep
that dreams manifest
golden like a sunset in may
i spend time reflecting
the outcome today
gathering my thoughts
revisiting what went down
gosh this is so hard
i don't even get to hear a sound
except the steady clicking
the impact technology sends
i receive the messages
and reply truthfully to every end
don't worry about what they think
you are making the right move
you keep listening to your heart
its going to tell you what to do
hopefully you see me through

Level Head

Level Head
By: Tyler Ross

Build to last
save it for the birds
one with the underdogs
turn it around
run for your life
live or die
the past stays the past
just leave it all behind

not being the same
stuck in the melting pop
freeze over
release from the everyday spot
not waiting to rot
stir away from what you're not
not following
not being the same

but I can't seem to reach my hand out
drifting off far beyond the life I pictured no doubts
can you grant me to stay
forever one, forever one it's the life in dreams that I seek
forever one, forever one it's the commitment I plan to keep

Calling You Out!

Calling You Out!
By: Tyler Ross

88 in 65
You're going fast hardly feeling alive
You may think you're so far ahead
You'll burn out quick before the end
I watched you fake I watched you fall
A black heart you fooled them all
Lying tongue and a crooked smile
You live a life filled in denial

Trapped and no where to go
You keep sinking
I've got you feeling so low
False moves and broken ties
You keep thinking
When will they realize?
The true story
The measures of truth
The things you hide
Your untold youth
Deceitfulness underlined in bliss
No connection nobody will miss

Fuck your image
We're calling you out!
You're full of shit
We've lost all doubt
Lie some more
Your nose will grow
We're calling you out!
Pinocchio


We're calling you out!
Can't prove us wrong
We're calling you out!
You're too far gone

The Last Time

The Last Time
by: Tyler Ross

stand my ground and watch you fall
you're the worst case of them all
decisions made and granted fast
you keep forgetting you won't fucking last
face me now and be a man
don't lie to me if you want to stand
open your mouth and say to me
you're fucking sorry
i'll take that apology

we were friends and i don't know why
over the years you seemed like a stand-up guy
behind my back you belittled me
talking shit consistently
lie to my face and put on a front
the racist shit was fueling me up
to the point where enough is enough
you spoke, you laughed, fake as fuck

what makes you think i care for you?
all the disrespectful shit you go and do
my friends close and my enemies closer
watch what you say before it's over

this is the last time you use me
for that shit you call company
stay away as i cut my ties
this is the last time
when will you realize?
the last time
you're fucking through

Time To Lose (He Said)

TIME TO LOSE (He Said)
by: Tyler Ross

waste my breath
is this a test?
why are you selling me out?
lie to me
can't find your feet
now there's no where to run
left your mark
played from the start
i'm not a fucking game
desperate, get over it
time to regret
fake the rest, no contest
i'm no one's second best
wait for the catch line
cause here it is
in a world of the deceiving
you'll be the only one leaving
with a big fuck you
and a trail full of tears
wipe your eyes, say goodbye
the truth would've been wise
here is the punch line
can you wait for it?
this road you've lost all sight
kick rocks and take a hike
learn to communicate
you aint worth shit!


note: communication is key. pay attention. don't use people and don't lead people down wrong paths, because you're afraid to open your mouth. express yourselves and don't hold back. tell the truth. lying gets you no where, but more lies...and it will become a way of life.
NO EXCUSES!!!

I Confront People Like The 1920s (Why Don't You?)

I Confront People Like The 1920's (Why Don't You?)
by: Tyler Ross

you're so "cool"
the way you run away
and talk your shit
fucking everyday
you hide your voice
when it comes down to it
face the crowd
say it proud
you're in it for yourself
always falling short
always full of doubt
hide your head
want to be like you
and be so bold
like the very few
call in the directors
because the drama follows you
get your way
cry everyday
shut the fuck up
don't care what you say
respect is in order
you selfish fool
have no morals
there is no heart
we find you weak
so you fall apart
every time the pressure unfolds
pick an answer
make it count
don't forget
there's a certain amount
of time before we consider it a lie
smile wide
the jokes on you

Fight To Win

Fight To Win
by: Tyler Ross

Fight, Fight, Fight the strife
Fight, Fight, Fight to win
Fight, Fight, Fight the strife
Fight, Fight, Fight, to win

The government wants your freedom
The media's got you scared
Not many think for themselves
Why should you even care?
Over and over again they continue to point their fingers
Always criticizing, negativity lingers
Its up to you to announce your voice
Together we fight to make a choice
Regroup to settle the scores
They want more and more as they continue the war
Turned their backs and walked away
You do your best day to day
Facing faces just ain't their thing
You can't stand when you're hung from strings
You've got to fight
For your rights
Never back down
From your sights
Control what you like
Lead to victory
Fight the strife
Lead to victory
Fight the strife

A Rocky Romantic Journey (Romantic less)

A Rocky Romantic Journey (Romantic less)
By: Tyler Ross

You’re selfish and cold
You’re confused and you’re controlled
The wind despises the scent of you
Help is difficult for you to do
Trying is black and blue
Happiness is one sided
Lights revolve around you
Wished one time
Crossed that line
Nothing to show
Not a single sign
Waiting day after day
The price was to pay
Not knowing if I won
Or lost
Its hard to handle
Looking for love
It’s a scandal
When getting your foot in the door
Always giving
Never receiving
That’s okay because
I will embrace one evening
My time when I finally get a shot
A rocky romantic journey
Brain scatters
Where’s my attorney?
To get me out of this predicament
A rocky romantic journey
Never was in a hurry
But time continues
I smile but still I am alone
So I worry

The Perfect Halloween Treat

The Perfect Halloween Treat
By: Tyler Ross

Winter nears as the temperature declines
No storm shadows or heavy swells hover the mind
Butterflies jitter, pairing with thousands of nerves
Fingertips frozen while lips stare for a connection
Words spoken softly upon a gentle breeze
Keys jingle with the slightest movement of ease
Hands nourish the beauty of twenty three years
Sparks fly relishing a reflective passion in the clear
Eyes glow in tunnel vision affection
A collection a senses magnetically bond
Their moment sings the perfect song
An impeccable puzzle transforming before dawn
Teeth display the smiles of a colossal choice
Warmth’s presence spreads throughout
His and her voice followed by the last kiss goodnight
Never did he want to lose her from his sight

Keep Your Cheap Shots

Keep Your Cheap Shots
By: Tyler Ross

Simple mind
Straight edge kind
Positive and doing fine
Level head
Healthy instead
Give respect on what I’ve said
You do what you do
I’ll stay in control having a clue
Will is strong
My lifestyle, not for everyone!
So go on and judge me
For the way I live my life
Keep your thoughts to yourself
Cause I’ll keep mine
Drop the force
Cause I’m not going to change
If I wanted it a different way
Why would I push it away?
You disrespect me
I don’t judge you
You neglect me
Cause I stay true
Out of step
I am edge
Guess its hard to understand
When you are tipping over the ledge

Autumn Falls Lovely

Autumn Falls Lovely (AL)
By: Tyler Ross

she moves swiftly through the night
I’m blessed I remain in her sight
a voice of echoes stream inside my ears
its quite clear, keep smiling my dear
your grace has swept up my respect
your beautiful charm, so wonderful I detect
amber leaves in the fall
giving thanks is coming for us all
sharing these times, appreciative for you
thank you for your gifts
and your incredible personality
Consistent with everything you do

Hail The Beginning Of The End

Hail The Beginning Of The End
By: Tyler Ross

A mission is complete with millions of I told you so
The depletion of God’s image removed so slow
Thousands of years put to work left for a silent appreciation
Desolate, cold and an ugly devastation
Man brained too far robbing simplicity
Earth’s atmosphere drained over history
Voiced attempts failed to relay the message
Now who controls the new rights of passage?
The absent minded users of a beautiful gift
Withered and torn like the changing of fall
No apologies can be accepted with the destruction of all
Global cries were the last sounds of song to call never recorded
Religion’s revelations and science clashed
Both won with the humans eliminated and smashed
War and politics corrupted each other more
Killing more than they bargained for
Thank you media for depicting the bloody score
Educating to inspire instead of polluting the eyes and ears galore

Veteran's Day

Veteran’s Day
By: Tyler Ross

Hey mister! I’m so sorry
Have they forgotten you again?
How’s the cold from the pavement?
Sad to ask, how’s it been?

Society won’t care to ask
Mind runs like a circuit board
Bouncing around from place to place
Why have they all cut the cord?

Hey! they want you out
Neglected to say thanks
Your country is safe
But not enough to display you grace

Sad stories no glory for him
Sad stories no glory for him
Veteran’s Day where to begin?
Now an outcast led to the loony bin

Hey mister! I’m so sorry
Are you troubled and alone?
You could use some new clothes
And a helping hand made of stone

Sad stories no glory for him
Sad stories no glory for him
No one listens as he is pinned
Up against the wall his confession
Ready to die a life ending lesson

Veteran’s Day
No more impact
No more impression
Destroyed war brain
Left to rot a life ending lesson

Happiness Control

Happiness Control
by: Tyler Ross

designed by you
the world stands still
pictured through a glass
nothing seems new
relocated day to day
patience runs away
those have disappeared
face yourself in the mirror
lucky for the people
who leech off of others
lucky for the people
who cheat one another
lucky for the people
who won't hold out their hand
lucky for the people
who'll never understand
they pride themselves
on bringing you down
they pride themselves
and smile while you're around
happiness control
when they have it first
happiness control
can't you see its getting worse?
dig your way out
the dirt is pounding heavy
happiness control
take your aim, you've won already
pieces of shit they'll remain steady

Hava Nagila [Let us rejoice] (Alvida Naa Kehna) [Never Say Goodbye]

Hava Nagila [Let us rejoice]
(Alvida Naa Kehna) [Never Say Goodbye]
By: Tyler Ross

laying down I rest my head
thinking about my troubles I fed
to my circuitry it crafts a dream
about a mystery I haven't quite seen
images maneuver left to right
while confusion settles for a sight
yet another defeat in my sleep
pointing fingers at me six feet deep
I struggle for a boost
a launching pad with a truce
but it drags and drags
you're 23, single, what a fag
echoes with a beat
I wake in sweats to these nags
like school children
antagonizing me so sad
back to counting sheep
it’s a world I can’t quite retreat
paranoid its wired inside
attacking deeply these thoughts are alive
so I dive into the sky blue
where I once held you
that imaginary girl who I never knew
as one minute creeps
logically I’ll awake as this deletes
troubled with wonder
why doesn’t my dreams let me plunder?
not real
I’ll continue to discuss my non-existent lover

Lockdown Decisions

Lockdown Decisions
by: Tyler Ross

release the switch
which controls the power
the over aggressive force
adhesively glued together
try walking in an old man's shoes
the tread of miles in search
a distance long over due
release the handle
the overlooking connector
hovering so bent and rusted
out of place in this gray sector
massive amounts of color
with only one choice to make
selection is granted
but foiled and late
signs show a broken rate
of attempts of solidity
grasp for me.

Under The Sun

Under The Sun
by: Tyler Ross

giving up, challenge it all
you can't hide, falsified
contemplate
seek your fate
broken bond
green lights gone
never-the-less
no protest
breaking in
life can't begin
worried and weak
all for defeat
something gotta give
always greed
dead morals
no heart
no beginning no start
selfish craze
still teenage ways
no control
vicious soul
you try you try
but nothing gives
you wonder why
you can't hide
caught in the moment
in this spotlight
crashing down
treat people right
you try you try
but nothing gives
and they're all gone
just another day under the sun

The Perplexity Age

The Perplexity Age
By: Tyler Ross

brain is cluttered
no room were butterflies flutter
wings break and freedom is gone
no light left on
I’m weak I suppose
come running at the scent of my nose
dog-like instincts
no connection links
the moments that pass
I contemplate at last
the feelings warmed up inside
not real or is it really alive?
second guesses you force in me
absent and naïve to see
the extra hours I put in this
false hope clouds this fairy-tale bliss
smiles bolted in by factories
machines jammed only memories
remaining with tired open hands
rummaging colors over one particular crayon
built by wax too easy to break
a clock maneuvers at the bottom of the lake

Seth Kifer (He Won't Happen To Me)

Seth Kifer (He Won’t Happen To Me)
By: Tyler Ross

let me tell you a story about an incredible man
with adventures to sell and strength in his hands
not the type of guy to leave you behind
but the past is the past, we all did find
those were the days when our youth ran it all
our spirits so high and we stood so tall
never did we think a fracture could grow
separating our ties and the years we did know
memories can splinter
sticking us with regret
sure it hurts, but time has been spent
no way of turning back in time
we all move forward as some rewind
he won't happen to me
he won't happen to me
leaving a great man behind
he won't happen to me
he won't happen to me
the result was outrageous to find
he won't happen to me
he won't happen to me
is what they all fuckin' say
he’s told one thing
and we all fade away
so let me tell you a story about a masquerade man
with an interpreter’s mouth and strings for his hands
not the type of guy to wipe his loyalties away
but a new born hypocrite with nothing to say
a fresh chapter is written for our old historic friend
not a day goes by where we don't reflect on him
parting our ways, we wish he valued friendship
and fought for his men which stuck with him

Step Away

STEP AWAY
By: Tyler Ross

If I had the money to bet on all you fools
I would place my words on the table
Gamble against all the fucking rules
The shit you call friendship
I only figured you’d stick around
Until you used my presence
And then kicked me when I’m down
So lets hear your reasons or your excuses
Make em’ wise and forget it you’re useless
Never up front with the run around
I can see through your lies
All the best cop outs I despise
A friend shows respect but that’s not you
I highly advise you to step away
Step away
Marked by the words that I say
Without question you’ll betray
Pity for you no fucking way
Step away
It’s visible that you deceive or cheat
Constantly you play the part of defeat
The character of me myself and I
Work the minds and create your crimes
Live your life away from mine
I highly advice you to step away
Step away
Marked by the words that I say
Without question you’ll betray
Pity for you no fucking way
Step away
