Lovers kiss and I avert my eyes
Reading between the lines
Why do we try to hide behind everything that we can find?
We climb and climb
Just to lose track of time
Think of all the things we could do
Instead of confusing abuse for truth
Heartbeats
Colors stream
Light beams
Crowded close
Toe to toe
Firework show
Fear surrounding
Chaos compounding
So I let go
Give in to the undertow
Waves hush, rush and roll
Young hearts
Old souls
Come together
Becoming whole
Mind control
Cut throat
Overdose
Soul soap
Soft boy
Hard head
Posing playing pretend
Sunset
Back bend
Garden party
The end

Sin and Sincerity  
The land and sea
Were meant to be
you and me
Chaos and symmetry
The land and sea
We bend and bleed

Feel it under the shade
In the summer sun
So I breathe in the wind
Exhale like a gun
Look any way and its the all the same
We all need someone
We all need something to stay x2
Am I coming down
No not the only one
We’re all part of the game
So just have some fun
Who are we oh what have we become?
We all take up space
Were pieces of the sun

Look any way
It’s all the same
We all need a face to a name
Something to frame
We bend and bleed
Unconsciously

I feel *****
I must be coming down
Stuck static searching
Grit my teeth as I’m burning
Up against the wall
Looking for somewhere to fall
It’s insane
Out here where the waves break
Im not gonna lie
If there’s no reason why
Why do we put up this charade
Silly dancers, changing shapes
Saved by the pain
Gasping for grace

Up against the wall
Looking for somewhere to fall
m not gonna lie
If there’s no reason why
Silly dancers, changing shapes
Saved by the pain
Gasping for grace

Etch an eye between my brows
So that I may see further into
Deeper within the whirling vortex
Of abyss cooing to me softly

Gentle requests that I not
Drop my pebble down the well
A splash will never echo back
And I'll fall until time is decimated

Not that I'm entirely dedicated
To keeping things linear
But the universe has been strange
And I'm a good listener

I turn in all the wrong directions
Locomotion
Tangled up in your ocean
Poisons and potions
Drowning deep in your bed head
Embedded
What was it that Marie Antoinette said?
I’m open to knowing
But what if it’s counterfeit?
Seal it with a kiss
Moving much further than I’d like to admit

I’m not alone but no ones home
Free to go but not to roam
No fresh air to breathe
No room to cope
Slow choke
Short rope
My fire scorches everything but the bones
Burnt clothes
I just pose and change the tone
Truths superimposed
Tyler Jones Jun 2021
Cigarettes and bubblegum blues
Got a lot to chew
This ones for you
Silver spoon
They say loves a game
Of give and take
An acquired taste
And I think of us everyday
Standing in the way
Hallucinating
Rabbits race
Something about the chase
Can’t get stuck cannot stay
Lighting fires just to feel safe
Yet the flames still get away
Can’t bleed it out down drain
The truth, the pain
I’m on fire but I’m free
Flying through the sun, left you my wings
And when I fall too deep I don’t need you to catch me
No matter how hard I’m crashing
Dancing through the dark and disease
Softens the sharp edges in my mind
Was such a climb to get to your height I just jumped off when you left me
But I’m better than what I give myself credit for
Even on the floor  
Don’t need to build walls to have boundaries
Break through every door that I meet
Run through everything until I hit the shore on my knees
Gasping to breathe
Salty winds and skies
Know it’ll burn off in time
No I won’t be looking so blind
And sometimes I think that I might die before my time without you riding by my side
Pressures on flying this high
Joy stick, tight grip, tulips, scripts flipped
Holes I dig to hide you in
So much love to give
Don’t know what to do with it
Tick tacking from tide to tide
Spinning in my dizzy mind
Melting memories like ice cream on Summer streets
Vampire in me needs to feed
Unfurling
Burning up the circus and turning with the sea

Rose glasses
High fashion
New classic
Strobe flashing
Dope ******
Teeth gnash
In quicksand
It’s quick cash
Pure passive
Outlast them
