A King's Road

A King’s Road

By: Tyler Ross

The evening of resistance has come to an end

All the thoughts to arise slowly clutter

No more concentration in this man

The wind blows, but no one seems to notice

The night’s sky is bleak as I carry on up the hill

All the shadows that form bring me in deeper

You can call it depression as I start to linger

Silence now is the only presence I call my friend

Is this the beginning of the end?

Will I ever truly escape this sad state I am in?

I hide behind the whites of my smile

When inside I am trouble and in all sorts of denial

Can someone please stay for a while?

Stay for a while.

Is this the beginning of the end?

Will I ever truly escape this sad state I am in?

Behind the wheel I reminisce for some time

The streets pass on by

I nearly miss my exit sign

My mind is so consumed

I just don’t know what to do

So I’ll drive far away

Given the choice to raise my voice

And shout out against those who oppose

The air is still silent and no one knows

This sad state I’ve always been in

Is this the beginning of the end?

Will I ever truly escape this sad state I am in?

Cut to ribbons once again

Will I ever feel the respect again from the one’s I called my friends

City Of Stress

City Of Stress
By: Tyler Ross

Wake me up, it's the start of the day
I have no money in my pockets and my rent, I still have to pay
Not much grub in the kitchen and the AC is out
My job is shit, but it's a job no doubt

Most around me I could care less for
Their mind's are warped
I don't want them knocking at my door
I'm jaded as fuck living in LA, but I've got to keep it posi
If I'm going to survive another day

It's about time to prove I am alive
I'm just a lone wolf trying to stay satisfied
My path is narrow, but I'll do my best
The walls may close, but I'll prevail in a city of stress

Nothing In Common

Nothing In Common

By: Tyler Ross

Let it slip into the air and say what’s swirling in your head

I can only live with your views

But no care since you’re blind to what’s there

No hearts, morals, and intelligence

Nothing in common with those who don’t make sense

I play the role of the smarter one

I’d rather be dead than not have any fun

Can’t be swayed

There will be no setbacks

Can’t be shamed

I won’t cut any slack

Without anything to say

No substance, or a level head

I’ll walk away

Nothing left to be said

You play the puzzle of life, but without the right piece

You force too much so I leave you with my peace

My spoken words are weapons of fire

Burned into the ground

I respect those inspired

Count them all right here on my hand

No gimmicks, no jokes

I’ll tell you how it is

There is only truth to come from this man

Sorry I won’t mold

I am what I am

Sorry, I can't be bought and sold

I am what I am

Nothing in common

I won’t continue to pursue

If there is nothing in common

I’ll find something better to do

You can’t force what is not there

I have nothing in common with those unaware
