Ask you, “What you see?”
What you desire?
What you really need?
You say “Don’t ask me.”
You say I couldn’t ever conceive
Of the tricks up your sleeve
Thin secrets
Thick as thieves
Dark designs
Silly curses we weave
The stains all over me
Break into pieces right before your eyes
I do it all the time
Get lost in your sea
Passes the time
Didn’t you know you’re my alibi?
Adam and Eve
Hold you close to me
Im falling for you, falling free
And I’m in too deep
Inspire the fire within me
You hold the key
So carefree

Pretty eyes of purple
Green eyes so cruel
We’re all on the same team
Yeah we’ve got that hyper culture sheen
Aphrodite and Judas too
The superstar and the scapegoated fool
Fumbling, bumbling with your tools
Don’t just lie there do what you have to do
The audience is waiting
Hear them all screaming for you?
Be kind, be cool
Met em after school
We’ll shine your shoes
We’ll shine for you
Watch me spit, spin and sparkle
Yeah you can too
Red and blue
Rub out the bruises
Shake out the shine
Black and white
And in between too
We’re gonna make it happen
Gonna go all the way through
Watch as we all fade together
Fade into, fade out and through
As the sky turns from grey to blue

Distractions
Static happens
Background noise
Tears and toys
Silence heals
Emotions peel
Feels make it real
Is strength silent or loud?
I'm dizzy from searching within and around
How can I be proud of myself without bringing you down?

Momentum meets
Immovable matter
Plaster splatter
Mad hatter
Shivers
I’m shattered
Scattered
Teased
Tatters
Ladders
Man handle
Manners

In too deep
Dreams within dreams
Tip toe on the wire
Wings of fire
The kind you want to keep
But nothings free
And so is everything in between

Hey batter batter
Zig zig patterns
Adders
Tigers running
Sitting on stun gun powder
Hungry for a feeding
Films reeling
Hyper culture beaming
Tell me now, what you’re seeing?
Tyler Jones Feb 2021
Almost famous
Lovely faces
Face it
Leather and laces
Hearts and aces
Mirror replacements

Chains
Bars
Handcuffs
Fast cars
Stuffed with tough love
Scars, stars
Young tics and tacks
Tasks and jumping jacks
Waving hands
Basking in summer sands
Where we drew our plans
Wanted to tell our moms and dads
But they washed away and they wouldn’t understand
Drastic actions
Rare reactions
Double down
Lap it up lap em
Keep them laughing

Sweating through the sequins
Sequence
Excess
Leaning
It’s all happening
Believe it
Leave it
Liberty
Freedom

Don’t you want to run away together?
And perfect our crimson crimes together
Eye spying and lying for the other
Under cover lovers
Don’t need to touch
Just a taste
Is good enough
Now that you’re gone away
I miss feeling you hover
As I’m bundled under
In your pull
I’m a fool
You take me where I have no tools
In your wake
A brand new slate
The grass is greener
So much at stake
Now though you’re gone away...
Don’t know what to say
Now though you’re gone away...
I know when to stay
Tyler Jones Nov 2019
Salty sins
Slip off my skin
Baptized, I begin again
Bad twin
Mannequin
Swivel slip
Shenanigans
Overflowing
Keep it going
Forward rowing
Breathe and blowing
Appetites
Only growing
Moment, posing
Where were going
Future folding
Forming, molding
Hyper-culture overdosing
Ultra dramatic
Super classic
Dandelions
Made of plastic
Laugh it off
Spastic elastic
Bounce and blast off
Erratic romantic
Snakes surround me
Blinking, sinking
Echos sounding
Stinking thinking
Cost compounding
So astounding
Fountain spouting,
Auto-routing
Into the black
Death reflection
Sudsy and soaked
My bent religion
Watch me
Drowning
In fickle hearts
Pounding loudly
Im slip, spin, splitting
Program imprinting
Filling, skimming, stripping, spilling
Crypticly petrified
Sedated and sterilized
Softly by your side
Utilized
Crystallized in my disguise
