Dancing between demons and dreams
Why did I leave?
When did I get here?
When did I start this spark in the dark?
Lost in my fear
Frost frozen clear
To everyone but me
But here I spin in uncertainty
Is all this dreaming a poison or a cure to me?
Tyler Jones Mar 2021
Silver screen
Grey concrete
Crawling stalling
Stonewalling
Phone calling
Mirrors mud
Manic plastic and plaster
Mickey mouse masks and bad bladders
Rain pitter patter
Hey batter batter
Babble on mad hatter
Tyler Jones Mar 2021
Lonely in paradise
Disguised design
Pinned to my lies
What a wicked demise
Serpentine afterlife
Hyper again
Hyper me
Flying free
Towards the sun
Cigarettes and bubblegum
Freaks and geeks
Playing dumb
Pressures on
Leaves us numb
Feel it all again
As the waves come
Doubling down
Diving in, getting dunked
Pacing in hyperspace
So many reasons to run
Calling all their bitter bluffs
So fly high butterfly
Ride the current
Keep making the cut
Keep proving them wrong
You know the show goes on even when you’re done

Cult hero
Sub zero
Clone collagen
Zoom in heroine  
But dont you sting me bumblebee
Keep it zipped up
Tripping on your tongue
Devils dancing
You’re in a trance  
Let them lick it up
Leave the rest
And maybe a bit of the best
On the cutting edge
Take a bow and get bent
Crash through the door
Waves, walls, make the call
Yeah you know they simply adore
The way you take the bait, switchback and stray
You take it all the way
Yeah you can lead the way
Lines you trace
They wont forget your face
Switch it up and set the pace
Bittersweet tastes
Real tea royalty
They know you don’t play

I’ll be your bed
I’ll be your beach
A place of chaos, sincerity and symmetry
We can meet, become or be released
We can be eternity
I’ll be the sand and you’ll be the sea
Unconscious we can be, blend and bend like lenses
Earth that needs seeds
Something to frame
Something to stay
Look any way the pictures the same
In the climate of the shallow
Our hearts hang hollow  
In the company of the deep
We all seek and sink
Tyler Jones Feb 2021
Dull lies
Double lives
Parallel lines to read between
Don’t let them see
The lines you write
Thrones you ride
Don’t let them see
Bed bugs have eyes
The kind that bite
Bite back
Your hard to track
But you’re always there
Sea salt and sand stuck in my hair
Yeah you’re always there
Right in the nick of time
We were drowning in debt
Drowning in doubt
******* and strung out
Sometimes the nights get so loud
Shiver
Shake
Shout
Can u hear me crying at the moon?
Let me out!
Let me out!
But there’s nowhere to go
Just a line to pace
A line to Rome
Rushing thru the flow
Red tide riptide took my lover and left me alone
We were just a breath away from losing the whole game
But we saved, yeah we saved just for those strange days
We worked away yeah we worked it out
We worked away yeah we worked it out
I went down and he came up
Kept the beat, kept the party, kept the clowns
Now they’re all around, all around us
Don’t you hear them fuss?
Trust was rusted but now it’s all love! Love! Love!
Tyler Jones Feb 2021
Misty morning
You gave me plenty of warning
But I didn’t listen
Addicted to your skin
Cut just right
Loved how we fit
Couldnt get enough of it
Loved all your lies
Tore it all down to find out the meaning
What you meant to me
What I meant to you
So sour so sweet
One more month wouldn’t have satisfied me
They push me
Pull me
Throw things at me
Can’t see thru to tomorrow
Can’t see you
But I feel you follow
Halls crowded or hollow
I let them all borrow
But never give them our gold
Miss your mold
Got thicker skin
But still feel the cold
I shiver to shake it off
But it just collects
Still no regrets
Loved your distance
Do you miss my mess?
