Buzz Kill?

Buzz Kill?

By: Tyler Ross

It was another late night

but it started to rain.

This night was something different

when it ended so insane.

I can't believe such dumb luck

then I realized

I'm not supposed to be happy

when you're seeing those other guys.

I hate to be so selfish

when we're out on a date.

But don't you find it funny

when things are going great?

That feeling of excitement

where you truly fucking care.

That's why it was surprising,

with your sex motive there.

Do you even care?

Is this a date or you just out to fuck me?

I can't relate when truth turns to nothing.

You smiled so bright. 

I liked you right on site

I wish you'd just grow up

and you'll see you're doing it right.

You've got me so miserable

reflecting on myself.

Feeling my accomplishment

is negative to your health.

Let's get something straight

you're afraid of a good thing.

But don't you tell me

I'm the one being mean.

You're misunderstood.

Is this a date or you just out to fuck me?

I can't relate when truth turns to nothing.

You smiled so bright. 

I liked you right on site

I wish you'd just grow up

and you'll see you're doing it right.

Positive x Negative = Negative
By: Tyler Ross

Confined by judgment, I can't restrain me. 
I set off.

I feel subtracted, severely shamed, 
on the path of misdirection.

So trapped inside my head, this prison 
living with my past mistake.

So trapped inside my head, it isolates 
as your reminder bites hard.

This endless battle, this casted stone, 
this decision maker.

I am nothing. I am eternalness.

I'll Stay Gold

I’ll Stay Gold

By: Tyler Ross

I won’t change these morals, these values I’ve set.

It’s easy to go against every word that is said.

But that isn’t me.

I live my life free

from drinking, drugs, and promiscuous sex.

Forever staying free,

from the substances that alter and abuse the present

and live my life for me, out of step

Not above it all, but from what’s accepted.

My PMA keeps me sound, honest, and understanding.

Staying gold is the mentality I uphold to keep from drowning.

In a negative world judging the way I lead.

But that’s okay because I’m only in this for me.

For me,

staying gold is the key

to a healthy existence.

Forever I will be resistant.

Call me what you want.

Judge me for the way that I live.

I am still straight edge.

And don’t need people

telling me how I should live.

Nothing they can do can change what this is.

I am a straight edge.

I’ll stay gold for as long as I live.

A Better Life

A Better Life

By: Tyler Ross

Well, it looks like you gave up on me

And I can’t believe what I did see

I’m the only one to blame

When I bettered myself just for me

And the end result couldn’t help you see

I’m the only one to blame

So, don’t try hard to understand her

You’re gonna waste the time you have

And you know you’ll never get it back

When you hope.

When you dream.

It takes you away from reality.

Keep your head.

Don’t regret.

Life experience is what you’ll get.

I know most of the time,

it’s hard to keep that in mind.

With lessons learned,

comes a better life.

When I struggled with the months ahead

And you went against the boundaries set

I’m the only one to blame

When I asked you why you loved me

You came up with a short list of three

I’m the only one to blame

So, don’t try hard to understand her

You’re gonna waste the time you have

And you know you’ll never get it back

When you hope.

When you dream.

It takes you away from reality.

Keep your head.

Don’t regret.

Life experience is what you’ll get.

I know most of the time,

it’s hard to keep that in mind.

With lessons learned,

comes a better life.

This situation won’t get any easier

If you continue to let what you know grow stronger

Use the information you’ve been handed

and leave your confusions behind

Learn from your mistakes

Keep moving forward and you will find

A better life

When you hope.

When you dream.

It takes you away from reality.

Keep your head.

Don’t regret.

Life experience is what you’ll get.

I know most of the time,

it’s hard to keep that in mind.

With lessons learned,

comes a better life.

Pumpkin Post-it Note

Pumpkin Post-it Note

By: Tyler Ross

Some nights when I’m all alone.

When I can’t breathe and my thoughts want to roam

leaving me sad over the love spent with you.

And I wonder if your thoughts do it to you,

while next to him.

Love lies.

Only if you let it, it will.

Love lies.

Only if you let it, it will.

Break me, from this limbo-like world

and change me, so it will no longer hurt.

Let me dream, deeply to sleep.

Where I can be brave,

brave enough to see,

a healthy boy not beaten badly over she.

Love lies.

Only if you let it, it will.

Love lies.

Only if you let it, it will.

Love lies.

Only if you let it, it will.

Love dies.

Only if you let it, it will.

Aren't LIke You

Aren’t Like You

By: Tyler Ross

These quiet eyes, they looked to me with full attention.

I had nervous shoes, with one glance,

I feel like giving up.

It’ll be all right, if you and I could write a song tonight.

I dusted off that ole frame, humming a tune,

pretending to be with you.

Girls around here just aren’t like you.

Smart like you are.

Girls around here just aren’t like you.

Converse like you do.

You came to me, beaming a smile that really helped me.

We shared a few words, your second glance,

I feel like I’m being heard.

I’ll play the night, with some songs to make it right.

Pen thoughts, hope for another shot,

to sing songs with you.

Girls around here just aren’t like you.

Smart like you are.

Girls around here just aren’t like you.

Converse as you do.

Girls around here just aren’t like you.

Aren’t like you.

Aren’t like you are.

Girls around here just aren’t like you.

They just don’t smile like you do.

What The Hell Is This?

What The Hell Is This?

By: Tyler Ross

It's been quite some time since we were us, but let’s not try and retract.

We both knew what went wrong; so let’s just leave it at that.

The hurt left inside wouldn’t die, but I forced myself to forget.

I tried to stay your friend, while you pretended like you even gave a shit.

Your cold hands came over me and blanketed my nice

Left me over technicalities and didn’t think twice

While I tried and tired, I tried my best to be just a friend

You took my efforts like a grain of salt and blew it into the wind

You’re sick, sick

Let’s be honest

After all I have done for you

Still trying to stay the calmest

(You aren’t being honest)

I hate the way you make me feel

Is goodbye now beyond us?

Let’s get real

I try to sustain the good in me, but don’t think for one second

I’d let you continue to ignore the respect that you’ve neglected

In finding peace in all of this, you surprised me more than expected

Now I pulled myself away because you don’t deserve my friendship

You’re sick, sick

Let’s be honest

After all I have done for you

Now moving beyond this

(You aren’t being honest)

I hate the way you make me feel

Is goodbye now beyond us?

There’s no point if I’m treated your way

To stick around, while I’m at bay

I hate the way you make me feel

Hate the way you make me feel

It’s a two-way street in a friendship

But, you think at this point, I’d stick with it?

I hate the way you make me feel

Hate the way you make me feel

So sick
