I tried to tell you
I wasn’t pulling through
That the weight was getting too great
Always me and never you
If I’m in the way, why don’t you get out of my face?
While I’m stuck picking up the blood all over the place
Setting the stage while you close the cage
It’s never enough, it’s just hurry up and wait
Doesn’t have to be so tough that it twists up both our faces
We both know that this isn’t just a phase
Stuck on the corner, stuck on the staircase
We both know there’s no growth if we’re both always looking away
Gotta have the sun if we don’t want to stray
It’s only begun so put your best cards away
The webs we’ve spun are stitching up the space between us
Static on the phone, keeps pulling us  away
Patterns unfold, I’ll never let it go to waste

Devil on my back, sick
Have a heart attack, drip
Handle on the strap, flip
Know that this won’t last, it’s
Updating the patch, it’s
Never gonna be like that
So don’t go acting tragic
You got what you could grab
Supped up your stash
Put it in the past
Castles made of glass
Candy coated counterfeit
If I’m the horse I’ll bite my bit
Waiting here I tap my frozen fingertips
Silver screen bleeds
A nicotine sheen leaves us kisses on our hips
Get a grip
Jeans are stained
Pearly gates  
Marble games
Pushing pain
Sifting sand
Digging up graves
Your cold kiss
Is my true bliss
And I’ve got no one to blame
Patterns around
Pick a pretty petal now
Written in the clouds
Wow I can hear you now
Saying “let it out, loud and proud”
“Don’t look down now boy, it’s all around”
Tyler Jones May 2021
Remember that place?
Neverland of the New Age
Hidden in the garden of the strange
Full of wonder and grace
How the stars fall right where they belong
And the roses bloom
Twisted truths
From thickets of thorns and pain
How the shadows start to glow just when you look away...
...Now I see your face
In all the spaces between
In the silence and in my dreams
For a moment I feel free but it’s just a tease
With you I’m anything
Rearrange or replace me
Ill fill in the blanks
Of all the lines on our faces When it’s all long gone to ruin and waste
I can see it now
All around
Coming down on us
Lifting us up
To see up above
The pieces of the puzzle
Secrets we keep leak half asleep
Heartbeats bleed need
Bandaids and muzzles
War wounds weep
Sutured silver lines
You’re my goldmine
You shine divine
I was stuck in the static
Lost in the dream
Stuck in between
The unheard and the unseen
Seems so surreal
The way the waves weave us together like birds of a feather
Diving into the scattered sun
Drowning out
The doubt surrounding us
Smoke and mirrors
Pictures getting clearer
Crowns left shattered on the ground
And the dead are dancing upside down
Soulless and proud
Picking up the place
Picking up the pace
Picking it up before we put it back in it’s place

I was a spy
One dizzy dove disguised
Snakes skin, shape-shift, flew too high
Fed my confessions to a beast
Drenched in disease
A purchase steep, ****** feasts
Desert scene, squeezed between
Solarised then soaked release
Rain drips and flows from twisted tongues
Coming undone, midnight sun
The rose grows until it dozes
Secrets linger left exposed
Wilt away until the wind blows
Overflow, afterglow
Jumping jacks, candlesticks
Quiet and quick
Bound my limbs
Frail and thin
Began again
Sound so bright
Wound so tight
Frozen in fear
Electrified
Become the sun
Wings inside
Stole your eye
Kept it as mine
You caught on in time
Our parallel lines
Became harder to define
Ran myself right off my mind
Though I know that I’ll get by
Wrapped up, rough edges, ripple and rise
Tyler Jones May 2021
Building bridges from me to you
I’ll find a way to make it through
My face will be seen
No hiding now
After falling so far down
When no ones looking,
No ones around
I won’t bow down
Backs against the wall
Nobody on call
Although sounds cascade around
I’m stronger now

It’s been said a thousand times
Written in the sand, disguised
And with every climb
I lose my mind somewhere behind

Flowing like the ocean tides
Thoughts rush through and light the eyes
War wounds weeping
Sutured silver lines

Ever since you came around
Simple is sacred now
How do you do that?
Break me down

I miss you like crazy
Just like i loved you
I wish you could see how far ive come since you
I can keep up
I miss running with you
I want us to rule the world again
We are capable of so much more
Making our dreams come true
Burning up whats of no use
Spring is here
The sun is back
No wow
No wonder i miss you so
I miss your mind
I miss your kind eyes
I miss your smile
I miss your sweetness
I miss your kiss
I miss your touch
I miss your hover
I miss your hug
I miss you playing with my hair
I miss dodging your stare
How did i lose that?
I miss it there
Gold and silver mines
Like there was no time
Working with you was heaven on earth
I miss your cuddles
I miss your arm wrapped behind me
I miss it all
Youre coming and going
Us adjusting until we settle apart but parallel
Sometimes your leg would cross mine deeply asleep
Maybe it knew something i didnt
Maybe it was holding on just a bit harder while you were still there
And sometimes i lay facing the wall but my I’d press my back against you
My back is always stronger and smarter
It mustve known something too

Take me, take me to August in the streets
The fair and the sea
Babies, ladies
Crying out at night
Take me, save me
Vampires feed the fright
Furnace burns so bright

I can’t stand this heat
I’m unfurling
Burning, turning
Salty winds and skies
I think I might die when I’m ON this high
Yearning, learning

I can see us every day
Standing in the way because cliques, control and counter bait
Can’t get stuck, cannot stay
Cannot wait
Rushing with the tidal waves
Here comes another get away
Pacing, racing

Lazer eyes and my dancing shoes
No bummers Summers, we got a lot to chew
Get it, got it, good gotta get this through because this ones for you
Who?
Won’t you tune in too
What will this turn in to?

Hells bells, show and tells
Noise, boys and tipping toys
Tick tacking from tide to tide
Now your spinning in my ditzy mind
Dizzy right?
