lyrics

High fidelity drag
Almost as bad as it was the first time
Life can be such a drag
it's never quite as bad as the last time
High fidelity sob
Who wants to change when you know you don't have to
It's Impossible to stop going
Full speed downhill with your break lines cut

I can't change you
Rearrange you
And make somebody new
But you can't change me
Rearrange me
Turn me into you

Sober died in her sleep
Drowned her children when she couldn't drink them
Like holes left in her sleeve
Filled up the room with cheap red wine
Nobody's tears fill the grave
Nobody left roses for the sun to decay
The dogs all wander away
Slip through cracks in storm drains and fences

I can't deal with
I guess I'll have to
Wait it out till the end
I can't change you
Rearrange you
Drag you back from the dead

I live in a void
The floor caved in and the roof was lifted
I became a slave
A man takes a drink and the drink takes the man
Songbird stumbled to bed
Hungry children sang songs and held hands but
Foxes found the nest,
Polished their bones of flesh and feathers

I can't change you
Rearrange you
Make you somebody new
You can't change me
Rearrange me
I wont be like you
I can't deal with
I guess I'll have to
Wait it out till the end
I can't change you
Rearrange you
Drag you back from the dead

Our world is is a black hole
A warren of death
Follow the black rabbit
And breathe your last breath

Life can be such a drag
So Drink your sorrows and forget who you are
Cause It's easier to drown
In a world that's already 96% water.

about

Telyscopes image

Telyscopes Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"Since 2012, Telyscopes has molted through one reinvention after another--shedding layers of lo-fi psychedelia, chamber pop, jazz, and electronica like cocoons as the project grows more legs, prettier wings, or sharper mandibles. The lifeblood remains the same: offbeat lyrics and striking melodies. Often ingenious--never typical."
