Misty skies
Miss your disguise
Feel it now
In the clouds
It’s all around
Crown to the ground
Way too low
Shiver thru the show
Walking the plank
Stepping on the snow
Trying too hard
To go with the flow
I get in my way
Everyday
Afternoons
Feel out of place
Been replaced
Strays follow
Every switch and sway
Where do I go from here?
Futures unclear
Sun’s not near
I can’t seem to reach it
Static repeating
I’m too needy
Only words I know are
Feed me feed me
Like a little baby
Bottle rock back to me
Tyler Jones Mar 2021
Blond bird flew the coop
Confused and abused
Had to find a new use, a new truth
A new page, some new sight to see
Someone else to be and set free
Because his book was read and framed in flames
Always fashionably late
He conquered and became
All the strange
All the strays
And then blew away with the wind one day
With only whispers left in his wake

Get in line
What you been working on all this time?
Fractals and spines
Whips tigers lions
Please please gimme gimme back that dream
Lemon lime and orange sweet
I mean im trying
All outta tempo, time
Just slips right between my fingers
Tattoos and tingles
Hang on I think its happening again
Sell out on my soft sins
Begin again
Shells and wishing wells
fingerprints on the window glass
Crowded in the loud
In back seats
All through our teens
Now I know what I’ve seen
All this time
Rushing hushing spelling out all our white lies
Frozen faces
White lines
Keepin’ up with the times
They said
Wake up!
Theyre laughing in our faces
Listen up!
All the dreams
All these pieces
Rearrange and repeat it

I can still feel your pulse behind me,
Electric body and liquid mind, I’m blinding
Spilling with light
You took me high and left me dry
I thought I’d found my place in line
Somewhere inside your love that night
But you took flight and left me there
Stranded and staring into thin air
Heart bared
With more stories to share
And more pain, left none to spare
Tyler Jones Mar 2021
I’m a California King
And my beds my limousine
Slipping on turpentine
Dropping dots of amphetamines
Yeah I know, he’s just like me
Copped a copy
It’s nothing off me
Antibody
Mocking me
Everybody
360
Degrees
My Im high um I mean I’m bound down
Trapped in timing while looking back this time im blinded
Look ma no hands! Watch me drive it
Simon said frogger hip hop climbed it
Wind it better when im one track minded
One love
One glove crystallized in black lace and leather dripping with blood and bleach
Bad baby bumblebee
Don’t sting me
See these other toys
Show them the corner store
Follow freaky rolling eyes to lick it to the core
Guts out the door
Wait theres more Hut!
Ill be ur king tut
mummified mommies
Dried all up
Uppercut?
No kicking the cup
Im sippin your bluff
Love it tho its tuff
Puff goes the magic ghost
Time for a toast
And forget the fluff filling
Everybody everywhere never get enough
Sippy cups
God forgive us for hoping rowing unknowing
Faith fled with freedom
Father fodder hotter blood clotted swollen lip loose grip gun hip
Aim for the stars and shoot the **** baby blow a kiss

As the sun rises
Im dizzy with momentum
Racing off the edge of my mind
Cant settle this mettle of mine
Tyler Jones Mar 2021
It’s a new kind of feeling
Leaves one reeling
Scattered and spinning
Up on the ceiling
Dance till were dizzy
Decapitated and buried
In the holes were digging
They won’t hear the screaming
They won’t pass the screening
Layers lay lazy
Dirt devils dance daily
