A Sudden Change Of Truth

A Sudden Change Of Truth

By: Tyler Ross

Without warning, they’ll strike

Betray their words and move out of sight

Lead you astray and full of hope

Pointing blame so selfishly I know

Smashed through on you

Be careful of who you trust

Heartless fools fade fast

You’ve just got to pick yourself back up

To carry on

Don’t worry; I’ll get the last laugh

And continue to treat those with respect

It was so easy for you to hurt me

And go against all you said you have

All the truth comes crashing down

Left with no one around

So much confusion

So much pain

You’ve got to realize it’s one big game

Having trouble with the truth

And all the worrying that I do

A fighting struggle in my mind

Never will I understand this

The constant walk-a-way’s seem senseless

I forever will be defined

By these sudden changes of truth

All the truth comes crashing down

Left with no one around

So much confusion

So much pain

You’ve got to realize it’s one big game

Jitters

Jitters

By: Tyler Ross

You wrap your arms around and overlap your hands then you hold it

The kisses have lost their meaning and I noticed

If the sparks were really in us

Then why does it feel as if we are already finished?

Have I done too much?

Our words tangled like DNA and linked our hearts

But now, it feels as if my time is running out as we start

If you always knew the truth

Then why do you say the things you do?

Can you feel my jitters now?

Carefully, I understand what’s picked at you

Your plate is quite heavy; I got that clue

I’ll back away to safety where I have no doubts

If this is all meant to be

Patiently I’m willing to see

Ourselves get back to where we started out

I can’t help but only respect what you’re going through

Never have the thoughts crossed about ditching you

If there is anything left to prove

The pace of taking it slow we’ll cruise

Only time will show you that now

Space is essential; have I been too full on?

Remember when we shared all those different songs

I never intended to crowd you or demand your time

If I mean to you what you have said

I hope you’ll show me some old signs

Carefully, I understand what’s picked at you

Your plate is quite heavy; I got that clue

I’ll back away to safety where I have no doubts

If this is all meant to be

Patiently I’m willing to see

Ourselves get back to where we started out

I can’t seem to understand where things went wrong

If I’m not the one you want, please say so and I’m gone

I want to know, though I don’t want to fade

But, I need to know

So I can erase this smile I show

Carefully, I understand what’s picked at you

Your plate is quite heavy; I got that clue

I’ll back away to safety where I have no doubts

If this is all meant to be

Patiently I’m willing to see

Ourselves get back to where we started out

When A Heart Of The Week Grows

When A Heart Of The Week Grows
By: Tyler Ross

It's time to hit the road through this traffic flow
and drive five hours straight away
When all the while, I tell myself just to believe
Don't be so hard on yourself for you can't change a thing
Can't change a thing

The close few, I know
Remind me to remain calm
But I'm still the same
My smile hasn't changed
Tell me what's going on

I lay awake in a hotel room reflecting on my current mood
and I can tell for the first time
This yearning you generate in me
It's natural to miss these feelings you bestow and want to come back home
But patience is everything
I hope you wait for me

From the things you've said to the actions you do
I can't help but think about what other bliss will come from you
With thanks to give and the zealous energy in you that lives
I'll prove to you
I'm forever true
I want to be the one you want

I lay awake in a hotel room reflecting on my current mood
and I can tell for the first time
This yearning I have for you
It's natural to miss these feelings you bestow and want to come back home
But patience is everything
I hope you wait for me

We can take it slow
We can take it slow
I'm in no rush
We can take it slow
I just want you to know
I'm committed to you
So committed to you

I lay awake in a hotel room reflecting on my current mood
and I can tell for the last time
I'm ready to be with you
It's natural to miss these feelings you bestow and want to come back home
But patience is everything
I hope you wait for me

No One Deserves This Heaven More Than Me

No One Deserves This Heaven More Than Me

By: Tyler Ross

Kick all the sound that surrounds my ears

All the distortion trying to interfere

My mind is like a jungle sometimes I suppose

Overcrowded with thoughts trying to keep me low

Persuasion keens in on my days and nights

No need to worry with her by my side

I’ll pick my own lock and open me up

Expose her to my world, nothing to interrupt

I hope she accepts me as the man I am

Without any doubts trying to hold back her hand

Open up her eyes to drill into mine

She would see everything is infinitely fine

Cloud 9 is the status that sets me free

Like a bird, but with archangel wings

Cloud 9 is the status that sets me free

In the loving arms of Gordin is where I want to be

The earth is shaking, but I stand serene

She helps maintain my balance with everything

If perfection were possible, she’d be what you want

The gold is in my hand so flawless I flaunt

Cloud 9 is the status that sets me free

Like a bird, but with archangel wings

Cloud 9 is the status that sets me free

In the loving arms of Gordin is where I want to be

Ceremony

Ceremony

Speed it up, I’m talking to you

Can’t see straight, well that’s nothing new

You coast through life without a clue

Easy to forget, well that sucks for you

Keep your distance

You look better over there

I’ll wave you over, but no difference

Do you even care?

Cold as glaciers

Then hot as coals

Eliminating both with your selfish hose

I’m stuck with my mind on overdrive

Eating my words to keep me satisfied

Passing on those who waste my time

Eyes straightforward no matter rain or shine

Sticking around, it’s not a fucking option

Intuition is deep

My flag is raised with caution

Familiarity is key; you’ve got learning to do

Repeating mistakes, no help for you

Common sense, break those chains

Realize now, or are you still the same?

Crashing down, can’t help you stand

Weak morals and values can’t comprehend

Fragility Lessening

Fragility Lessening
By: Tyler Ross

Pressure sets before it gets to my fingertips

I’m not losing my mind this time

I can’t believe I have achieved

Overcoming what’s grown inside of me

Patience flows as doors closed

Never in my life have I felt so exposed

Settled nerves helped stumbled words

Come clean as I drive myself in and out of sleep

Break me and take me

I’m here crying out

Hug me and love me

I’m just like you when you shout

I just want to shake this lingering doubt

Being loved, so loved

On top of the world

Over and out

On top of the world I go

Over and out

Stacking The Ritz

Stacking The Ritz

By: Tyler Ross

I called out to flap those wings

You know those moments we find in dreams?

Floaters over a lopsided sphere

Strategically beckoning delight back and forth in the clear

We don’t want to call it quits

We feed off one another’s wits

Passionately blooming as the shoe fits

This is it for we won’t turn our backs

We admit the timing loved us both

Do you want to count the facts?

We are the smiles that stick

We are the process not the waiting to miss

Opportunities equal to make us colossal

We are what made this fun

We are the energy of the sun

Chemically bonded class session 101

Open toed, we feel every piece of grain in the sand

Comfortably stable

We are a solid-coupled successful band

Romantically inclined

Connected in every category

This reality will never cease to shine

A semester ending piece of mind
