'Taters
Ross Jun 2019
Bake a 'tater, 'tater baker
Bake a 'tate or two
I'd like to bake a 'tater
Sing the 'tater song with you

If the 'tater maker takes 'is 'taters
To the tiny town
He'd surely sell his truly tasty
'taters by the pound

Now truly tasty 'taters take some time to fully bake
Baked 'taters taken soon does not a happy 'tater make
'Taters taken late too are considered much too tough
Taste these 'taters you'll agree their taste ain't up to *****

Tate the 'tater baker bakes his 'taters to perfection
'is tasty 'taters taken to the town for your selection
So if you need a tasty 'tater you'd best talk to Tate
Cos 'taters baked by 'im are well and truly 'ruddy great!

Natural
Ross Jun 2019
If I never met you
My path would shine like morning sunlight
Reflecting through the dew
If I never met you

If you never met me
You path would flow like rivers driving
Towards the open sea
If you never met me

And the sun slowly dies
All the rivers run dry
Blue sky turns to black
How can we ever turn back

If I ever knew why
Your eyes cut into mine like mountains
Piercing through the sky
If I ever knew why

If you ever could know
My heart like bondless chasm pulled you
Deeper down below
If you ever could know

Now mountains fall to dust
And the chasm's filled up
All the forests drop their leaves
Surely now we can see
That my sun's surely died
And your river's run dry
Both our skies fade to black
We can never go back

Love in transit
Ross Jun 2019
Do you feel this feeling
I guess I'll never know
One clue I'd like to steal
A glance into your soul

Do you see the same signs
You quickly look away
Unsure if I have just made
Or ruined your whole day

Can I trust my instincts
This tightness in my gut
An urge to break this barrier
Unseen between us

Do you hear that faint sound
The ringing of the bells
You rise up to your feet
Can't believe that this is real

Feel so lost when I see
This breaking of my trust
Did you hear me curse myself
As you hopped off the bus?

Day of the dead
Ross Jun 2019
Masked man, a shadow
You're looking so shallow
A twist on the real
I'm empty I feel
So hungry, indisposed
So tired of your show
The paint's showing cracks
I could just peel it back

Play with the thoughts that go dancing round my head
Any time I feel alive I'm fairly sure I'm dead
When I start to believe see the shadow by the truth
Every time I'm choosing, I'm choosing to be you

Deception, betreyal
Blank faced and pale
So selfish and pure
Don't be so insecure
The blade that I twist
I'm smiling, I'm ******
Forcing till you drown
Watch the air escape your mouth

Play with the thoughts that go dancing round my head
Any time I feel alive I'm fairly sure I'm dead
When I start to believe see the shadow by the truth
Every time I'm choosing, I'm choosing to be you

Paper thin
So easy to fold I can't resist it
Quick to bend
So much to break I can't resist it

Suffocate
Ross Jun 2019
How can I confess to the desire in my being
Sins both of the flesh and the betreyal in it's meaning
All the while I'm calling you the one who was decieving
Whilst lying flesh to flesh with you

Hypocrite stood preaching on the mount
Devil whispering upon his shoulder
Calling on the truth to shut it out
When will this absurdity be over

Paying lip service to all the virtues of the father
Offer up my body charicature of a martyr
Demanding salvation turns straight into a non starter
And still I hold this hate for you

Hypocrite stood preaching on the mount
Devil whispering upon his shoulder
Calling on the truth to shut it out
When will this absurdity be over

We all lie
Let him without sin cast the first stone
We decieve
Let him without sin place the blame
We conspire
Let him without sin sit with Judas
We all die
Let those without sin be born again

Let me breathe

The heart of the matter
Ross Jun 2019
Fly, fly alone
cast your shadow from on high
Crack the stone

Sing, sing alone
Let the waves of your mind
Shake the bone

Should I shatter
Should I fray
Should I let this coloured life
Turn to grey

Cry, cry alone
Pour the river from your heart
Drown the tome

Sleep, sleep alone
Drop the shackles from your eyes
You're coming home

Should I matter
Should I stay
Should I let this blackened flood
Wash away
Should I shatter
Should I fray
Should I let this coloured life
Turn to gray

Die, die alone

Mirage
Ross Jun 2019
Scurry now and hide behind
Images of a perfect life
Sickly sweet so pure and kind
The innocent facade

Wear your tie to choke the words
Pull down your sleeves and hide the scars
Shine your shoes upon the sherd
The image that you show

I would like to follow you
Share everything you plaster to the walls
But everything you say or do
Is just a two dimensional mirage

So easy to pretend that
Life's a never ending sunset

Push away your weaknesses
Ignore the past that you regret
There's no space for any depth
Put on a paper smile

Admiration in a click
Your world revolves around it now
Hold out your attention stick
Salute the dismal show

I would like to follow you
Share everything you plaster to the walls
But everything you say or do
Is just a two dimensional mirage

Naive to just defend that
Life's a never ending sunset

Fear of Rejection
Ross Jun 2019
This is a game
Only a game until
Somebody gets hurt

This is a ride
Only a ride until
The adrenaline subsides

If this is a game
Then why do i play
Well it seems i have no choice

If this is a ride
Then why do i try
To take the harness off

Never see with tight closed eyes
The past is young and i cant see
across the future's horizon
On an ark without a shore
Why does this place make me feel
so insecure?

This is an act
Only an act until
I feel i can trust

This is a truth
Only a truth until
We can all grow up

If i'm in a play
Then why do i never seem
To come down off the stage

If this is a truth
Then why does my head scream louder
Than any word in a book

Love Crush
Ross Jun 2019
You've got the fish
I've got the hook
I've got the stare
You've got the looks
Come on
Won't you play with me?

I've got the watch
You've got the time
You've got the drinks
I've got the lines
Oh yeah
Won't you play with me?

We don't need no explanation
Cos we both know all the rules
Is this mere infatuation
Or is this love for these two fools?
I can't show my cards too early
Or I might just make you flush
We can throw our chips round freely
Go all in it's such a rush
Love crush

You've got the shake
I've got the dance
I'll wait all night
Till you give the chance
Come on
Won't you play with me?

I've got the pinch
You've got the squeeze
You've got me down
I'm on my knees
Oh yeah
Won't you play with me?

We don't need no explanation
Cos we both know all the rules
Is this mere infatuation
Or is this love for these two fools?
I can't show my cards too early
Or I might just make you flush
We can throw our chips round freely
Go all in it's such a rush
Love crush

Grasping at straws
Ross Jun 2019
Make me feel so sick inside
Yet blank and oh so hollow
Clutching at the frayed ends of
Illusions that I borrow

Lies I weave to hold you tight
While letting go of something
The centre I have chosen
Left falling into nothing

I will never
Be whole without you
Life would never
Make sense without you

No structure in the chaos
Need warmth from your cold shoulder
Pleasure chased but never caught
Don't want this to be over

I can't muster up the tears
Or strength to stand without you
Denial is heaven sent
To hell it drags me deeper

I will never
Be whole without you
Life would never
Make sense without you
I could never
Fill this hole without you
Life would never
Be worth a cent without you

— The End —
